Cons:
Parking is an issue for now. For casual play, park in Heritage park as far north as you can. There are restrooms here. Walk across the jr soccer fields to holes 8 and 10 tee area. You can see the white stone benches from the parking lot.
During tournaments, the gate to the parking lot located at the end of 24th street is open

Other Thoughts:
A lot of love went into building this course. This use to be a ball golf course that shut down years ago. The city recently purchased the land and allowed for the Disc Golf course to be built.
Being a former ball golf course, the landscaping is pretty good. Many large trees and a few small ponds (that were bone dry when I played it) come into play. Several true par 4 holes and a couple of par 5 holes really make this course a challenge to play.
Note-able holes
#2 Drive to an opening in the trees, the basket is on the side of a slope, Easy to overshoot your upshot.
#4 tunnel shot down a path and then opens up to the right. OB off to the left. If you can reach the opening, it is an easy 3 with a good upshot, but reaching the end of the tunnel will not be easy.
#8 my favorite hole, downhill with the river on the right. just a big hyzer and reachable by most bigger armed players.
#12, at 516, top pro's will shoot the big hyzer for an eagle, the rest of us will either try to clear the ponds or hit the gap between the ponds for an upshot.
Hole 17 shoots from the side of a hill down a tunnel to a basket normally sitting on the top of a mound. A pond sits near the mound looking for shots that drift over too far. Big arms will be looking to eagle this, the rest of us need a good upshot for the 3.
Big question of the day, would I play here again? YES, this course is worth driving too. One of the better Texas course right now and is only going to get better. Put this course in your play list if your between Waco and Austin for sure.
