One and only 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 6, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

I love this course. Tons of long holes let your grip and rip and some nice wooded holes in the back 9 keep your arm from falling off. Since adding the new tee boxes this course has been awesome. Gives you 2 different ways to play each hole now which is refreshing. Best and only course in Denton. Nice and long gives you a great walk around all 18. Watch out for that lake.. eats most of my discs.

Cons:

Wind can eat you up on this open course.

Other Thoughts:

Friends and I play each long box as par 3. Best round -3 with average round being around +7. Played like god one morning after a long night of lucy to achieve that -3. Ill never forget that round.

Diverse & Challenging 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 27, 2011 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

--Super friendly locals (college town)
--There is a great variety of shots & terrain though the length of the course, some super-long, some short, some open, some technical, some elevated. A little bit of everything.
--Easily converts to a 9-hole course if you play from 1 & work your way around the back of the course.
--The course can also start w hole 12 if you park off Windsor Dr. by the tennis courts, which mixes up the feel a bit(close technical holes first, that way you're well and warmed up for the long bombs of the front 9)

Cons:

dirt tees, signage is meh, long walk between 11 & 12, front 9 is kinda intimidating for folks who throw under 350 feet. mixed baskets, some are in better shape than others. hot as hades in the summer, bring lots of water.

Other Thoughts:

All in all, this is a very underrated park that is getting a much needed facelift this summer, with new teepads, signs & several new pro tees. (i'm pretty sure there was talk of new baskets, as well) If you don't know the way around, then you may find yourself befuddled around the 10th-11th hole...walk past the tennis courts & past the batting cages along the street to get to 12. Looking forward to fall here, going to be sooooo nice once the upgrades are done.
***This is NOT my home course, by the way, but i still make the drive to play here at least once a week. If you learn the course & have the shots, it's worth it. Great run.***

good challenge 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 24, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Well, lots of challenge here. Trees and water and hills make it happen. Some of the baskets are over hills and around corners. This is a nice long course to play, in the summer take some water. Lots of diversity here with some of the drives. Keep your eyes open, I have found at least one disc here every time we play!

Cons:

Take at least one "throw away " disc with you for good measure. Can be a little muddy just after a hard rain, like most disc golf courses here in central Texas.

Other Thoughts:

nice to have such a great course so close to home.

Good Variety 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 23, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The first holes are long wide open shots for those with a big arm. The later holes become more technical.

Cons:

The lack of concrete tee boxes and the heavy use of the course can lead to some pretty muddy encounters as well as vague tee areas.

Other Thoughts:

The elevation changes in the course make it difficult at times to push joggers or strollers.
