Well maintained and mostly grassy fairways
Good cement tees
Good signage and next hole markers
A lot of old, large trees force lower ceiling and planned shots

Mosquitos can be an issue in some areas
Static Basket locations
Short tees are dirt and some aren't marked

This was the oldest course in town and was a hidden 9 hole gem for a long time. The 18 hole expansion is fairly new and added some long and more difficult holes and a few more players as well but it also added a few ho hum holes that I wish were not crammed in where they are. It seems a few areas of the park could be have used better instead of piling 3 holes in a little square area with a few trees in it. I see missed opportunities for a couple of the holes to be over the large creek instead of just along side it. I have seen a few players skip 9-14 and just go to 15 to avoid the very long walks and some of the more difficult holes on the new part of the course because of this. A petting zoo, a seemingly unused dog park, and a baseball field all are in between the new and old parts of the course so I can appreciate the difficulties in planning the flow of the course but it does make for a hot hike back and forth in the sun to get to and from those holes.

-- A detailed course map is between the parking lot the the No. 1 tee.
-- All holes have laminated signs attached to a nearby tree, letting you know where the pin is placed. It appears someone changes the sign when the basket position changes. Amazing!
-- Multiple tees for each hole. The long tees are concrete, and the short tees are natural.
-- Water is in play, to varying degrees on numerous holes. However, there are alternate paths to avoid or bail out on the water. This is part of an overall layout theme that gives you choices in terms of paths to most baskets. This course does not overly favor one style of throwing (RHBH, etc.).
-- Despite what previous reviews say, there are restrooms on site. They are located at the softball fields between holes 14 and 15.
-- Grass is usually mowed, so little worry about deep grass.
-- Nice tee pads.
-- Holes range in length from just under 250 feet to more than 700 feet, depending on the basket placements.
-- While there is not a huge amount of elevation, the course uses what there is. Some holes throw up hill, some throw down, and some do both.
-- Trash cans, while not at every hole, are scattered throughout. The same is true for benches and other places to sit, such as some cool tree stumps.
-- Lots of shade, definitely a good thing in Texas.

-- The biggest con is several long walks between holes (8-9, 9-10 and 14-15). After hole 8, you see a tee nearby and approach only to discover that you are tee 15. To reach hole 9, you turn right and cross the bridge and go up the hill. It's a long walk, but it's the shortest of the three long walks on this course. There is a sign on a tree right of the 8 basket to help direct you, but it would be better placed on the tree straight ahead as you approach hole 15.
-- Holes 3-5 (a right turn from the No. 2 basket as you head toward Shady Grove Road) are pretty close to each other. If the course is crowded, you are likely to have to wait on someone on another hole to throw before you can throw. Also, when you leave the No. 5 basket, you walk right in front of the No. 4 tee and then across the No. 2 fairway to reach the No. 6 tee.
-- If you end up in the water, especially on Nos. 6 and 7, good luck retrieving your disc.

-- The yellow arrows ziptied to the bottom of each basket pointing you to the next tee are no longer attached. Some are lying on the ground near the baskets, and others appear to be gone altogether.
-- My last two visits to Fritz were on weekdays, and it wasn't crowded. However, I have played on a Saturday and seen big crowds.
-- Fritz is about a 45-minute drive from my house, and I pass several other courses to get there. It is worth the drive.

Awesome course with solid teepads and great baskets. Fritz has great signage as well. There is a laminated sing by each hole providing a map, distance and points you in the right direction for the next tee. If you forget where to go there is also an arrow underneath the basket that tells you were to go along with written instructions. This course makes great use of the creek that flows throughout the park as it comes into play on multiple holes. Also, it make you put multiple shots together in order to shoot a good score.

As mentioned by many other reviews the walk to hole 10 was pretty long. As well as the walk back to 15. I thought holes 3-5 were in a tight area. The three fairways play right along each other which risks throwing in on other players.

I played this course from a few years ago as it as a 9 holer. At the time it was rated as one of the best 9 holers in the country. I think the designers have upped its game as this is an awesome course. You are challenged all the way through with holes that require different shots including RHFH holes. Fritz was my second course of the day and it was hot. The last half of the round was really tough with the extra length those holes provide.

Overall this is an awesome course and definitely worth the drive.

Well maintained; Great use of OB to force you to place your shot well (front 9 especially); Good use of length vs. technicality; Good mix of water holes; Very technical holes on the back 9 that force you to hit two great shots to get a par; Not a very busy course

There are two very long walks on this park which are marked, but still can be difficult to find the next hole; Number 14 is almost impossible to get for weaker arms and is difficult to see the hole location; If your disc goes in the water don't bother going to look for it

Wind is a big factor at this park, especially over water; Generally a well marked course except for long walks; One bathroom near the baseball fields; 3-5 will stack up in a tournament situation

The kiosk next to the parking lot has a detailed course map. All holes have laminated signs, letting you know where the pin is placed.

The park is maintained by the city of Irving, so the grass is mowed and maintained nicely. No worry of playing a round in knee-deep grass.

Nice tee pads.

A solid variety of tee shots, including some with risky, but rewarding, over-water shots.

A nice variety of hole distances, from 250 to over 570 feet.

Chill locals.

Dog-friendly.

Trash cans between every few holes.

Holes 3-5 are very close to each other. A shanked drive will definitely end up in the fairway of another hole during this segment. Getting from hole 5 to 6 requires you to walk across hole 2's fairway, so be on the lookout for other players.

The walk from hole 8 to hole 9 is a bit long. You've gotta cross the bridge and then walk near the top of the hill to find the tee pad. If you think you've missed the tee, keep walking. You'll see it.

Hole 10 is pretty far away from hole 9. The "shortcut" is probably loaded with snakes during warmer months, so be careful.

No public restrooms, it seems. Only an issue if you're drinking a few brews during your round.

When I played my round here (Easter Sunday, around 5:00 p.m.), the park was full of pedestrians grilling in the middle of the course. Holes 10, 12, 13, 15 and 18 were unplayable because pedestrians were chillin' in the middle of fairways, grilling and drinking beers. I wouldn't have much of an issue with this, but there is ample room around the park to hang out, even with a large group of 30, a grill, coolers, etc. and not be smack-dab in the middle of a fairway.

The course was still fairly busy, with at least 6 or 7 other groups playing. They seemed to be locals, were very nice, and gave great directions for the holes that didn't point you in the next tee's direction. We were all a bit upset that 5 or 6 holes had packs of people hanging out in the middle of fairways.

I'll definitely be back, though. Fritz feels a lot like Leonard L. Woods (it's well-maintained and has good signage), but it actually provides some challenge.

-Beautiful course
-Easy to navigate

-Some danger of losing discs in the creek

Difficulty (3/5): This course was a comfortable challenge for me. There wasn't any tunnel shots but there was always trees forcing you to shape your lines. I have a noodle arm, so most of the holes were well out of my birdie range, but as long as I threw a solid drive they were well within par range. If you have a bigger arm, you'll enjoy mixing power and accuracy to try and get your birdies.

Maintenance (4.5/5): The tee boxes were concrete and in good shape. The grass was kept low and the brush was well maintained. The tee signs were always easy to find and were very descriptive and helpful. The only knock I have is that the baskets weren't all uniform, but each was in good shape.

Variability (3/5): This course had less variability for me since I was just driving full power most holes. But even if you have the ability to reach the pins you'd probably just be grabbing your workhorse driver on at least 10 of the holes. But there was some hyzers, short anhyzers, layups, and two holes that would have been perfect for rollers (I just can't throw them).

Flow/Experience (4.5/5): It was pretty easy to find my way around the course for the first time. Getting to holes 9, 10, and 15 were long walks, but there was signs guiding you there. There was also an arrow on each basket pointing you to the next hole. As for the experience, this course plays through a beautiful park with a great creek. It was relaxing and I found myself less frustrated with my bad shots than I usually was, in large part because of the scenery.

This is probably one of the best looking courses in DFW. The park really looks great, there's retaining walls around the creek, and it's very well manacured.
Lots of different types of holes, not just shots. Shorter technical holes (not super treed up, but still technical), some longer holes, holes with water danger. The variety is one of the best things this course has going for it.

Many of the holes run very close to each other and slightly overlap. If there's a lot of players there (like on a tournament) you have to wait in a lot of places for players on other holes to work through your fairway.
Navigation is a bit tricky in some places. Right now there's just temp signs, but I assume proper ones are coming. There is a pretty good walk between holes 9 and 10, as well as 14 and 15.
If your disc goes in the water by the retaining walls, it's very difficult to get it out.

I love this course- something about it has some charm. Score low early and get the round rolling because the back nine can get funky. Not near as crowded as other local courses- somewhat of a hidden gem. The Fritz has a bit of everything from short to long to enough water to keep you honest.

Get ready to walk! Layout is a bit odd- but you grow to love it.

First off, the course is in a very nice park. There is plenty of shade from the old pecan trees throughout the course. I grew up playing this course as a teenager and some of the baskets and tees are still the same as the original 9 hole layout. There is a practice basket by hole 1. I like that there are a few shorter holes <300' and a few longer holes >450'. Also, the dogleg holes add a bit of a challenge because the window to the basket is narrow. The long par 4 provides you with the chance to really bomb your drive. The tee is elevated and the hole is downhill for the first half and uphill the second half. Hole 17 is another hole where you can really air it out. The creek that runs through the park comes into play on several holes. There is a large course map by the first hole.

There is a long walk between a few of the holes. Only a few trash cans on the course. Hole 6 would be a great hole over the creek, but a gnarly tree branch hangs right in line of an over the creek route. The course lacks signs but that did not lower my rating. I'm sure the people involved in the new course will adjust the layout or tweak some things before all signs and tees become permanent. Not all the baskets are the same. Holes 9-14 have dirt tee boxes.

Playing the new 18 hole layout for the first time was nostalgic. It brought me back many years as a young teenager learning the sport. Fritz Park was my home course then and I think I'm going to love playing the new layout.
