Pros:
-- Makes great use of the space and doesn't cram too many holes into this small park. The course is south of the main road (across from the part of the park with playgrounds, etc.) and unlikely to ever be busy.
-- Small creek in play on holes 1 and 5. Creek isn't big, but it is surrounded by tall grass, and the water was murky. Retrieving a disc might be an issue.
-- 2 pin positions per hole.
-- Concrete tee pads, although they are a little narrow.
-- Tee signs at each hole showing hole number, distance to both pin locations, hole map, and next tee; most have bag hooks.
-- Discatcher baskets in great condition.
-- Practice basket next to the parking lot.
-- Course map in front of the parking lot.
-- Lots of trees.
-- Excellent bridges for crossing the creek.

Cons:
-- Navigation is an issue, very unusual for a small, 6-hole course. I had to consult the map several times, and I threw to the wrong basket once. Baskets are not numbered, which makes this more of an issue.
-- Baskets 3 and 4 are too close to each other (adding to confusion), and the 4 fairway goes right behind the 3 basket, creating something of a safety issue.
-- Mandos are noted on the tee signs. Some are for safety, but some seem to be strictly for hole design, and I am not a fan of that.
-- Only 6 holes, and they are pretty short. Depending on pin positions, course can range from 1,343 feet to 1,652 feet for 6 holes.
-- No restrooms or water.

Other Thoughts:
-- Land is pretty flat, but trees and creek add some natural beauty.
-- Some individual holes (1 and 5) are appealing, but the navigation (especially for a first-time visitor) detracted from the overall experience.

Average 6 Holer in Small City Park 2+ years

Pros:
This course is situated in a small park in the small city of Bridgeport, Texas. The course is only six holes, but that is about how much the land could handle. Kudos to the designers for recognizing that and only putting in six holes rather than nine.
The course has brand new DisCatcher baskets as well as adequate concrete tees plus a practice basket! There is a little bit of elevation that comes into play on holes five and six. There are a few trees scattered around the course that are all taken into play. Holes 5 and 6 were especially crowded with trees that added a little bit of challenge in an otherwise challenge-less course.

Cons:
There are really no glaring cons for this course, but it is just a really average course or as DGCR classifies a 2.0 rated course: "Reasonable". There is not a whole lot of length to add challenge. There are not a whole lot of obstacles to add challenge. It is a quick play and you can keep your drivers in the car.
Other Thoughts:
Bridgeport is a bit out of the way from the DFW metro area and this is no destination course by any means. The six hole course in Decatur, 10 miles east, is a better course that has a little bit more a fun factor.
Still, if you somehow find yourself in Bridgeport, this may be the quickest and easiest course for the course baggers.
