Taste of SE courses 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 12, 2021 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

In North Central Texas but reminds me a lot of Eastern courses, with heavy trees and tight lines on many of the holes.
Course is balanced for right-handed and left-handed players.
Course has been improved a lot. It was unplayable in 2019 due to lack of signs, thorns and other growth, but now is a relatively clean course to play.
Throwing harder is sometimes punished as you can overthrow and miss the lines, which makes for an interesting dynamic.
There is a creek in the course but It doesn't dominate play, and it is easier than Waxahachie, Cedar Valley, or Duncanville Crossroads to retrieve a disc from it under normal conditions.
Finding the course is easy once you know it shares a road with the Ennis airport. From the North, take 287 business from 287 and make a Uturn before getting into the downtown area, and you will see an airport sign.


Cons:

No water or restrooms, as far as I know (don't know if the airport a mile down the road is open to the public). Not much of a minus as it seems to be the norm.
The course has a lot of mud on it due to brush clearing and other work, though all beneficial in the long term.
On a windy day, hole 18 gains several levels of difficulty, becoming a monster struggle to reach the basket.
The course is relatively short for an 18 hole course, though there are a few long holes.

Other Thoughts:

This is a good but not great course. I play Waxahachie much more due to distance, but this course makes a nice variety.
There is talk of adding length to some of the shorter holes and clearing additional brush, though volunteers are needed to help alongside the city efforts to improve the course.

Work in Progress! A few New Tee pads! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 3, 2020 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

fun course getting some much needed maintenance in the form of New Tee Pads on a couple of holes so far! The City of Ennis looks to be taking care of business! New Tee Pads also have poles for future signage. (I hope.)

Cons:

Course is very hard to navigate even with U-Disc, and there is a ton of rubble from the construction going on, but hopefully that will all be cleared up soon.

Other Thoughts:

I am 30+ miles away from this course, but I will definitely play it again.

How long will this be a work in progress? 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 20, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Set on a very nice piece of property
Good elevation, good mix of open, tunnel, left to right
Great course to work on shot placement or picking your lines
Baskets are in good shape (Mach II's)
Many holes are wooded, but it never seemed to get boring
Great job with layout and flow

Cons:

Hole #3 was missing it's basket
I couldn't locate hole #4's tee area
A few minor tweaks and this would be a GREAT course
Concrete teepads would be huge, I found myself sometimes searching for the next teepad
Hole signage would be another great plus for this course
Trashcans would be a nice touch, did see some trash on the course

Other Thoughts:

I was really impressed with this course. The players in this area are very lucky to have such a great course. After reading some of the other reviews however, it seems as this course has been going through "work in progress" phase for a while now. Would really love to see some of these improvements on the course. If that was done, I would love to keep coming back to this course.

Work in Progress 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 22, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Provides numerous opportunities for birdies to boost your confidence. A few holes are nothing more than a pitch and putt, which is fine. Tight fairways make the course more about shot placement than driving distance. A few water/terrain hazards make you focus. Plenty of shade. Good elevation change.

Cons:

This is not a long course. I would prefer more opportunities to release the frustration of the trees and let one rip. Everything that grows in these woods has thorns or causes a rash. Standing/stagnant water will cause a extreme mosquito hazard. Needs better tee pads.

Other Thoughts:

This course is a work in progress. The local club is doing good work, they just need more time to complete the course.
