I understand that this course is placed on the site of a previous 9-hole ball golf course. While there are still a few cart paths here and there, any signs of the previous course are gone.

I found this to be the best of the three, 18-holes course in the Rio Grande Valley. It offers a huge variety of hole lengths from 180' (Hole 11, Red) out to 940' (Hole 18, Blue). There are enough trees, boundary fences, ponds, and rough to require that you shape your drives on most of the holes, though a few are "throw it as far as you can" opportunities. A few holes have trees that create a low-headroom situation, depending on where you land your drive.

Two tee positions for every hole, with good concrete teepads and decent, if basic, signs. Excellent Innova Discatcher baskets show up and catch well.

I played my first round from the Red tees, and found that it suited my average ability very well. The holes were reachable without heroic drives, but errant shots were appropriately punished. At 6641 feet this is still a challenging course and a good test of disc golf.

Several days later I played from the Blue tees, which add an average of 100' to each hole, though it varies quite a bit. On the shorter, more technical holes the additional distance might be modest, but the line is changed enough to offer significantly more challenge. On many of the longer holes the blue tees simply add distance. Hole 18 for instance is 290 open feet more from the blues than from the reds.

While the course is very flat, there are a couple of baskets placed on mounds or elevated poles to add interest. Hole 18 finishes in a constructed mound that is ringed by 8 concrete columns spaced about 30' out from the basket. The 15' radius circle surrounding the basket is covered with multi-colored, tumbled glass pieces. Interesting and unique.

Several ponds are in play, though only Hole 9 requires a throw over water. It is a great risk/reward hole as you throw over two ponds with a landing area in between. You can take the safe par by throwing a short drive over the first, and then a shorter approach to the green. Or you can try to carry both ponds and drive directly for the green. Easy par or dangerous birdie?

From previous reviews the biggest issue out here is mowing, or lack thereof. For the rounds I played in early/mid March the conditions were great. The rough was starting to grow up and I can see that just a few more weeks would make disc-finding tough indeed. Some of the longer, more open holes had defined mowed fairways that were pretty narrow for the distance, so watching exactly where your disc lands in the rough was key.

The ponds certainly looked like they would eat your discs, but I didn't find any of the water holes to be unreasonable.

Boundary fences were in play on several holes. I did put a disc over but it was toward the adjacent highway and I easily retrieved it after my round. The area on the other side of the fence on holes 2 & 3 looked like (inaccessible?) private property.

I found this to be a great addition to South Texas Disc Golf. Play from the Red tees was great for intermediates, with the long tees adding challenge for more advanced players. This could be a tough course for beginner/recreational players, but not impossible.

I played on cool March mornings but can imagine how unpleasant the course would be on summer afternoons.

No water or restroom on site.
