Maybe, The Best Bridges Of Any Park in Texas! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 11, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

After my recent review tirade about the total and inexcusable lack of safe pedestrian bridges at Weichsel Park in Dallas, I'd like to compliment Lindsay Park for their stable of 4 or 5 industrial strength hardened steel bridges, complete with ADA approved guard rails.

Lindsay Park is obviously an older park (Teeter totters are a dead giveaway) with lots to do from a cool, lighted volleyball court to picnic shelters to basketball courts, ball fields, horseshoe pits and more.

I have no idea how but I somehow missed the course map. The course starts near the end of the parking lot. The concrete tee pads appear to be newly poured. I thought the first pad was short but shortly deduced that l pads are length appropriate for the run up needed per that hole. Since # 1 is just a little 159' anhyser shot, a longer pad is not needed. The signs are excellent showing all the needed info. The baskets-Discatchers with the yellow bands and numbers.

A small creek with steep, treacherous banks and ugly, murky water in places but dry in others spots. Either way, I didn't want any part of it. Right away, on hole two, you're put to a test. The basket is just 260' away but it's on the far side of the creek and you're throwing down and over the creek both. Plus, there are plenty of trees and branches to knock your drive down and into the murky depths. Or you can simply flip your drive over the creek settling for a par.

Second test on hole 2. After teeing off as either a man or a mouse, you have to decide how to get to the other side? The mouse will follow the path past the basket and cross safely over on one of the U.S. Steel bridges. Those manly men might choose to tip toe over a 12" pipe which is maybe 4 feet above the creek. To fall would not be deadly but probably quite humiliating and entertaining both at the same time.

The course crosses over the creek a few times. I never knew whether the creek was standing murky water or bone dry. Hole # 3 throws over what looked like a water canal of some kind but turned out to be a bone dry street runoff ditch which probably never has more than an inch of water.

Cons:

# 7 is 310' and crosses the creek twice. This course would be tricky after some heavy rains.

Holes 5 & 6 play in another park 500' down the street. There is @ sign there explaining things. That's not ideal but I bet the neighbor here hates the course. I'm sure players walking to the # 5 pad cross over his property here and the # 6 basket is just feet from his backyard. Luckily, there is a batting cage set up there which serves as a backstop for all but the most egregious throws.

Lots of danger here with the creek, even in mid-May. In rainy times, this course could be scary.

Other Thoughts:

Combine this with the other two nearby courses (Moffett and Muenster) for an excellent course bagging day. Lindsay is just about four miles off of I-35 just south of the Texas-Oklahoma border. I don't know about Munster but Lindsay is worth the price of admission.

Pros:

Lindsay Park is a fun little course with great tee signs and good DISCatcher baskets. There is a good course map at the parking lot. The course has great signage including the mandos. When you have to cross the street for holes 5 and 6 there is signage giving you easy directions. There is also signs around neighbors houses saying don't hop the fences. The course offers some tight challenging lines on a fews holes that were really fun. The designer makes good use of the land that is provided as well as the creek comes into play on a few holes.

Cons:

The course felt a little crammed into the park. I am not a fan of long walks between holes. Holes 5-6 were down the street, then you had to walk back. Hole 7 is right after Hole 4's basket so you make a good distance walk to just get back to where you were. The course is also very busy. There were multiple people walking dogs throughout the park which makes it important to be aware of walkers.

Other Thoughts:

Lindsay park was a good course that makes you use different shots throughout the round. The designer did a nice job for the land that he was provided. The course doesn't favor only RHBH but makes you use RHFH as well which I appreciate. The course is in a good location as there are not any other 9 or 18 holers for a good distance.

Pleasantly surprised 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 6, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good Tee signs and good directions signs on the course
Course map at the parking lot
Most holes are designed to throw around trees.
Several holes play around the little creek.
There is even a course poll to retrieve your discs if you need it.

Cons:

Gravel tee's, although for a short course, cement tees might have been a waste of money.

Biggest con on this course is the walk to a separate part of the park to play holes 5 and 6

Other Thoughts:

In all, I enjoyed this course. It helped that I got an ace on hole 1 with a skip shot :)

But for a small town, this is a great course to have.
