A Fine Example Of A Disc Golf Park Project! 2+ years
Reviewed:
Played on:Jan 28, 2019
Played the course:once
Pros:
The Nicklaus Disc Golf Park is currently kind of a field project with lots of young trees having been planted. Come back in five or ten or twenty years and this course will be a whole lot different as these trees grow into adulthood.
The course has a lovely course sign and map. There is a practice basket near. There are a few benches scattered about and an interesting round basketball court. A large dog park is the neighbor on one side. The tee pads are carpet laid over a crushed rock. One of these carpets is already flipped over. The baskets are the official Disc Golf Park models. They're great. The tee signs are a small metal with the usual information. I like these signs because they would be really difficult to vandalize.
The course is listed as a pitch and putt, however, I would classify it as an easy recreational course. The difference you ask? In my tiny brain, I see a recreational course as just a little more challenging than a pitch and putt. Heck, when the trees mature, this might be an advanced course!
The practice basket is about 37' away from the # 9 basket. I'm kind of disappointed with the salesmen at Disc Golf Parks, Inc. I think they sold some park's and recreation bureaucrat a bill of goods about the need for a practice basket at a pitch and putt course. I doubt if this course will ever get so crowded that players couldn't get their mandatory putting practice in on # 9.

Cons:
Little challenge. Most baskets under 200'.
Small trees aren't yet a factor.
Kind of an out of the location. This course won't get the neighborhood walkers or bike riders.

Other Thoughts:
I love the idea of these little pitch and putt or rec courses or whatever you choose to call them however, I think they are probably better received when placed in a small park in a community setting. I don't think this course will ever get the traffic that it merits due to the location. It's a little boring now but will get better and more interesting with each passing year. Try it now or put it on your wish list for Match of 2025

Pros:
Top Notch Equipment
This is a DiscGolfPark course. As such, it has top of the line everything. There is a practice target and course map and information sign by the first tee. Every single tee has a tee sign with full color graphics and complete information. The tees are completely developed turf tees. And it has championship targets.
Whole disc golf course to yourself
Secluded grassy park located only 4 miles off the I-10 freeway. Great course for folks that want to play disc golf without anyone else around for miles. I played on a Saturday morning and only saw one lady over at the completely separate dog park. This is a brand new park they installed on a little strip of land next to the Morengo Golf Course. There was a few walkers and bikers going by the park near the highway, but no one else IN the park.
New Players and Kids
Perfect course for new players and those working on the short game. I would say it would be great for kids, but there are no restrooms in this park! Which means make sure the kids go before you make the drive our here. I don't recall a playground, just a ramada, a dog park, and a basketball court.
Wonderful Practice Facility
Looking to do field practice, but fields are boring? Come on out here and practice big shots or short shots on an actual course with targets. You will have the whole place to yourself, so you won't be bothering anyone if you want to throw drives over the entire course from Tee 4 to Basket 7!
Lots of trees have been planted, so this park will become a nice shady oasis one day. Maybe they will add restrooms before then.
I thought it was a fun location and it would be super easy to create longer holes if you are not into 130 foot holes.
No restrooms, but the course borders an area with some privacy.

Cons:
No restrooms.
Very short as designed. However, it would be very easy to make up your own longer and more challenging holes.
If you don't live near Beaumont, it will not be worth making a special trip.

Other Thoughts:
The amenities are fabulous for a beginner's disc golf course in a beautiful community park.
Great course for folks that want to play a round in nature without anyone else around for miles.
Great course for folks looking to do some serious disc golf practice or bag another 9 hole course.
I will give it a C+. I will go back and play again. I like having a whole park to myself to do disc golf practice.
