Concrete tee pads. Nice Baskets. Infoormative tee signs at each tee box and signs to the next hole on each basket. Short mostly wide open but challenging course.

Tee pads are a little short. Only 16 holes. The ground is usually pretty soggy if it has rained and water seeping through the dam. the area around Holes 2, 3, 5, 10, 11 can be like a marsh. Its usually very windy which can make it a tough course to play because of how open it is.

Course is built next to a small lake. A concrete walking trail goes around the lake and there is a park on the opposite side from the course.

It's a course on a park by a small lake. Most of the holes play on the other side of the dam, but a few play along the shore. The property there doesn't allow for a lot, but they've done a lot to the course that really improve things. There's an elevated basket, a big raised island, a mound around one side of a basket. The elevation on the dam id put into play. One hole has a tee on a small piece of land that sticks out over the lake that puts the water into play. A bunch of trees have been planted, and in a few years they will be very good obstacles. They've really put a lot of work into this to make it a lot better than the park actually affords.

It's really windy there, even on the other side of the dam. From what I know of the area, I'd have to think it would always be windy. The area around holes one through four gets very swampy. You really need to pay attention to the signage. The course zig zags across the property, so there is often several baskets in view from each tee.

My three pros:

-Lots of unique holes such as the island, fountain hole and lakeside hole along with some barbed wire fenced off areas that make for interesting shots.
-Right off the highway for easy acces when passing through
-In a small town so I'd imagine it doesnt get too crowded. I was alone when playing on a friday around noon.

My three cons:

-Super windy the day i played with 25 mph North to south winds .This isnt neccesarily a con for the course, but the wind made alot of easy shots alot tougher- making for a long round.
-Some holes were kept a little shorter than they couldve been
-Only 16 holes currently, and the map only shows 12. Luckily #13 is pretty easy to find and the flow is simple foir the last few baskets

This was the windiest round I've ever played and it made it pretty tough but also pretty fun. Alot of shots were way off but parking it on the island hole and the lakeside hole made up for the bad shots. Overall I was pleasantly surprised by this park, so much so I played #1 and #12 again to make 18. Would be a 4 star when the course has 18 baskets.
* This was my 50th different course and lived up to the benchmark

*******Co-designer Review*********
First 13 holes

*great bright mach baskets
*concrete Pads
*signage and arrows to next hole on all baskets
*flow works well
*
*benches and trash cans on course (more being added)
*concrete stairs
*city put alot of effort into course: concrete stairs, island and ledge hole, the work on the pond hole
*begginer friendly
*enough ob/hole placements to keep average and above average players honest.
*risk and reward holes
*new trees planted
*bathroom between 1/12/13 area
*3 different parking lots can be used
*2nd bathroom in works that would put bathrooms reachable almost every 4 holes

*its short
*windy almost all of time
*its a flat area, void of hills or trees
*swamp between hole 1 and 2
*disc can find other fairways
*wide open..for now (tree budget sitting waiting for drought to end)

I will be honest. We were given an area of land in which i would consider a 1.5 or two star course would be. There is nothing there. It was old softball fields and baseball practice fields. Almost no trees were in area. The design process and the work of the park department makes this a 3.5 to 3.75 course. Yes the course is short right now. But the course was designed to get new players into the sport while still giving the season players some risk reward shots. I have seen scores vary 10 strokes between rounds. There are alot of 2 vs 4 holes (holes 7-12 should all be 2's but constanly ruin rounds). The original idea was to have 6 holes under 250, 6 between 250-350 and 6 over 350. But some changes have happend so that wont happen. The front 12 were going to be the learning holes and the back 6 would have the length. Lets be honest if you have thrown only a few times who wants to play a 500 foot hole and throw 8 times. Many things were considered in design including the strong southeast wind vs the northwest wind. On most days these really affect the course. There is a tree budget to help create more shot shapin but the area is in a serious/critcial drought so no trees have been added in past year. But that makes it like a blank canvas. We can plant trees and force shots. OB's and gimmick holes are use to make up for a very small land area, in which i feel we executed the first 12 greatly (13 is on other parcel of land). Going into this we knew we werent designing a selah, we were going to make the best course possible to attract new players, while making it fun.

Great concrete Teepads (trapezoid)
New Baskets. (Love the Orange)
Good Teesigns
Next Tee arrows on every basket
A few nice benches
Stairs when you need to climb the Pond dam
Well kept
Very clean
Great use of the Land available (Loved the use of what obstacles were there)
Like the creation of obstacles (Pond, Island, ledge, sloping green)
Decent Variety: some left, right, straight
When the newly planted trees grow up this course will just get better.
Great OB use on the Shorter holes to keep it fun/challenging
Good subtle elevation change
Some risk/reward
Great place to work on your placement game
Good to take Newbies/family to
Great for a quick round

Favorite hole(s) #9, #12

Most of my cons will go away when the Park and Trees mature a little
Seemed a little repetetive on a few holes in the middle
A little too open for the most part
Parking lot was small
Not much length

All in all this is a fun course. I played traveling through with my wife and children and we had a lot of fun even though it was 100 degrees. There is something for everyone. The walking path and the picnic area are there for the not so DG inclined.

Very nice family friendly course and lake area. Worth a stop if you are going through. Worth driving from Wichita Falls to play. Not a destination course, but, if I lived in the area I would probably be here fairly often.

My "disc rating" is weighted heavily toward the Fun Factor with a bump up or down for the amenities. I will be back by to play sometime and as it ages I think it will just get better/more challenging.

Please PM me and let me know how my reviews can be "more helpful."

New Tee Pads (the course is new so...)
Interesting obstacles/hole placement makes up for lack of wooded holes (which is pretty common in North Texas) as previously mentioned the elevated "sand box" is unique
Nice Mach 3 baskets with bright orange paint

most holes pretty short - designers attempt to make up for this with interesting results - but there is only so much you can do with <300 ft holes.

Overall this is an interesting course and provides an interesting and fun alternative to the typical course in the area.
