Other Thoughts:
Lakeside City Park has a 9 hole disc golf course that is pretty fun for the average player but has some issues. The course plays counterclockwise around the park but so does a walking path. It comes into play to at least some degree on every hole.
The holes play amongst the trees that are scattered around the edge of the park. They are most dense on the east side of the park where holes 3 & 4 and tee 5 are. Many of the pads are placed right behind a tree or two creating a forced window. Some of them work but some of them seem like they are trying too hard. The variation between the two sets of tees are sometimes pronounced.
I enjoyed my round here. It was my sixth of the day but my round from the longs was engaging and went quickly enough. I could see spending the better part of a day here with a group and playing each tee twice. There were a number of groups out when I played and they were all nice and let me play through. There weren't a lot of walkers out but I could see having to spend a lot of time waiting on nice days.
This is definitely one of the courses to check out in Wichita Falls for any rec and intermediate level players. Advanced players might be bored. Course baggers will have a good time and it's a quick play. A few tweaks and better tees and this could be a really nice course.

Pros:
Great new baskets clean park with facilities. Some trees around the edges. Nobody playing so no wait.
Cons:
No tea pads or signs (YET) they will get there.
Other Thoughts:
Not that anyone asked me but here are my 2 cents for the pad placement. I Like on the 9 hole parks i have played when the pads are poured off the existing walkways. Makes them way easy to see. I also think this course is great all ready but would add some distance from the tiny flags.
1) I would place the pad right up against the sidewalk going to the pavilion. Exactly where it is but adds 25 or so feet
2) After 1 i would have walked right to the other side of the water tower and put the pad on the other side of the tower.
3) I would just walk straight left of the basket. This will be a short hole so i would add distance by putting it even with the basket for 2 out to the left.
4) I would put this pad again against the sidewalk so just move back to add 10 fee or so.
5) I do like how this is accross the walkway through the trees.
6) This was very hard to tell since you are avoiding other holes but i think this is the only place that makes it work
7) If you move the pad for 7 by the basket for 6 you would also maybe give the pad for 6 options. but i like this hole and the trees before the basket.
8-9 are very hard to tell but they play short I would try to add distance any way i can.
And i am a pretty short player but those are my thoughts, I know you didn't ask!!
Great park and course I am not being a critic just options.
