Played the course:once
Pros:
Nice map and scorecard provided
uses the little elevation
uses the ponds
uses the few trees on the course
all tees were marked, some even had nice turf tee's
Some of the holes had some distance

Cons:
several short wide open holes
holes were pretty close together in some spots, almost crossing fairways
very cheap baskets, but they do work

Other Thoughts:
Based on the other reviews for this course, I was not expecting much. I arrived before they opened and took a nap. This was my 2nd course of the day (I played 12 in all)
I paid my greens fee and got a scorecard/map to use to find the holes. First red course was actually pretty good. More distance than I expected and although relatively easy, I did enjoy throwing some of the holes.
The white course lacked a little something, but had a few good holes.
The blue course was a little boring. It does have the longest hole on the course, a true par 4. (course par should be 55)
While it was a little wet the day I played, the course was in good shape.
To me, $5 greens fee to play all day and hang out with other disc golfers would be worth it.
It is not the best course in the area, but it is not the worst one either.
Would I play again?
Yes, I would play something organized. Or I would play if they were open at night. If I was in the area, I would love playing a league out there. Then hang out afterwards.

Fun Addition to North East Houston 2+ years drive by

Played on:May 12, 2017
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
Living in the area, the only option within a 25 - 30 min drive is River Grove. With the area starving for another course, The Humble Golf Center is welcomed addition.
The course has slight elevation changes and always seems to moderately windy to add to the challenge.
The biggest Pro of all will be the lights that allow for night golf without the need for glow or lights on discs.
There is also a BYOB policy. Thumbs up for that!

Cons:
The baskets. They are about the cheapest metal baskets you can buy and are far from the quality of the ones installed on your typical course.
The owner stated that the additional of disc golf is in somewhat of a trial stage to see how well it does and it would be an easy improvement if he chose to swap them out for tournament quality baskets.
The Layout. There are some holes that throw across or too close to other holes. As long as it isn't crowded this inst an issue but could cause safety issues if there were many cards on the course at the same time.

Other Thoughts:
The course was originally a pitch and putt ball golf course for over 20 years. In the past 5 or so years it was converted to a foot golf course and most recently disc golf was added.
Since it is on private land it is a pay to play with the current cost of $5 for the day.
Time will tell with this one but with only having one other option in immediate area I hope it continues to be a work in progress and thrives.
