Little Miss Moffett Sat On Her Toffett Planning Her Approach And Putt!

Played the course:once
Pros:
Of course, a 3 hole course has nice big numbers on the Discatchers. If this were a 27 hole course in a dense forest, there wouldn't be a number in sight.
Moffett Park is a small park, maybe two acres, just minutes off I-35 in Gainsville in North Texas. If you're making the drive from Dallas to OKC, or OKC to Dallas, or ......??? Anyway, it's about one of the easiest bags in Discgolfland! 12 minutes tops! Combine it with the surprisingly fun and challenging Lindsay Park DGC, just 4 miles down the road, followed by Munster Park which is another 5 miles and you can add a quick three courses to your ever-expanding cadre of courses played.
Moffett Park has 26 mature trees (I counted) to shade you and provide some level of challenge. The signs are simple yellow poles with hole #, par and distance, perfectly adequate for any 3 hole course. The aforementioned baskets are Discatchers with the yellow bands and nice large readable numbers. The pads are natural. The park has a couple of picnic tables, some garbage cans, a swing set and a few resident brown squirrels.
Distances and pars are as follows:
Hole 1. 175' Par 3.
Hole 2. 305' Par 4.
Hole 3. 290' Par 3.

Cons:
Basket # 2 is set a few inches too low.
The grass had not mowed lately. It's not really a lawn, more like prairie grass.
Three holes is probably not worth playing when there is a perfectly good course just 4 miles yonder.

Other Thoughts:
This course is just begging to be bagged. No respectable course bagger should ever pass by these parts without partaking of Little Ms. Moffett's charms! You won't find an easier bag anywhere. Besides, where else could you finish your entire round with a 7 or an 8?

Pros:
-- Plenty of space for the 3 holes. Other than a small playground set and a couple of picnic tables, there is nothing else there, so the course is unlikely to ever be crowded.
-- Good design. It's not just three baskets sitting in the middle of a field. There are trees to navigate and even a small piece of playground equipment.
-- New Discatcher baskets.
-- Natural tees in good condition.
-- Decent signs (posts) that show distance. There is no other information (other than par), but you don't need it. You can see the basket from each tee.
-- Park is clean.

Other Thoughts:
-- If ever a course screamed "practice your mid ranges," this is it. I wish this course were close to my house instead of being 75 miles away.
-- With the addition of 9-hole courses nearby (Lindsay and Muenster), there is a disc golf reason to visit this part of Texas.
