It Isn't THAT Bad 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 8, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

It is the only course in a 20 mile radius and is very easy to find from the street; it is just a bit north of the rest of the city of Brenham.

All 9 baskets are there. I know with the amphitheater being built, basket #3 was removed because of the construction. It is in a different position than it was originally, but it is there.

There is a creek that runs parallel to a few holes, which adds a little bit of risk and hazards at a course that is lacking in those departments.

A few of the holes have strategically placed baskets that involve a little bit of shot shaping off the tee. The holes may be all virtually open, but the few trees are in a good place. The course is played on a hill; me being from Houston, I can really appreciate a good hill.

Cons:

There are literally no tee pads to speak of. Only the semi browner patches of grass that the locals swear was where the tee was before they were mowed over. This course could be a decent course if the tee sign problem was fixed. I would have been impossible to find the correct tees without the help from locals. However, the land is big enough for a safari course with your own made up holes.

A parking lot with plenty of cars and buses flanks one side of the park, and a residential fence flanks another. It would be very easy to lose a disc over the fence or hit a car in in the parking lot from the real tees.

Other Thoughts:

The locals that I played with mentioned that there are talks about building another nine holes on the other side of the creek and making real tee signs. That would be giving a little bit of love to a course that seriously needs a bit of love. Frankly, I was surprised to have seen a person playing the course. This shows that a updated course would be used.

Good for Practice 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 16, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Being from Houston, having decent elevation is about the best perk of this course with hole lengths are average ranging from 200' to 350'. Everything is a straight shot, and if you're not looking for a challenge, but rather warm-up from somewhere else or some practice with a new disc in the open field, then this is your place. Hole #9 was the only hole where I had to make a decision on to go right or left (playing an unmarked mando) of the big oak instead of right up the gut.

This is a multi-use park, but it's the facilities are so far away from the disc golf portion, you'll want to consider driving over walking. The park itself is well maintained, and again would be the perfect place for a local to basically get in their fix or learn to throw.

BEST HOLE/S: #2; #9

Cons:

Pin #3 is currently out of the ground because of clearing of the area for the pavilion. Basically you can place this course with two discs, and not have to think much. Hole #2 has thankfully been fixed since it was the nicest hole on the course using the trees.

Holes are poorly marked; some mis-marked and a little over half of the tee boxes are identifiable by small wooden markers in the ground. First timers will have to so some searching, but the ground is worn away in most of the tee box areas. I believe #7 tee box was also a causality of the clearing, so you have to create your own box. As mentioned earlier - hole #4 O.B. is a real danger for any errant throws to the right.

WORST HOLE/S: #7

Other Thoughts:

This is the perfect case of good course potential gone south. I kept wishing for the course to play the creek/walking trail area and across where soccer field #8 and #9 are located. Under the right supervision and permissions, it could have been a pretty cool small town course. However, as it stands - unless you live in Brenham, no need to stop on your way to a better course.
