Pecan Creek Park

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 15, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

-- Tee signs with all the basic info (map, par, distance, although distance is in yards).
-- Map at parking lot.
-- Restrooms.
-- Mach V baskets.
-- Best holes are 3 and 10. Three is LONG and open uphill over a quarry to a basket with trees close behind it. Ten is just over 300 feet, wide open for the first 200 feet before trees and creek near the basket.

Cons:

-- Several holes that have no business existing on a disc golf course. No. 4 is an S shape that requires both right and left turns of 90 degrees. No. 6 requires a 90-degree left turn. No. 15 requires a 90-degree right turn between private property (marked No Trespassing) and a skate park. No. 17 has the basket right, on the other side of a creek, from the tee with NO path to reach the basket.
-- Natural tee pads that are not holding up well and are not well defined.
-- Navigation and flow. Some baskets and tees are too close together; in other cases, the intuitive path takes you to the wrong tee pad.
-- The map and tee sign disagree on the direction of the basket on hole 10 in relation to the tee. The tee sign is correct.

Other Thoughts:

-- Two of the problem holes seem to have fairly easy fixes. From the six tee, you can see the basket straight ahead. Minor clearing would create a small but fair path to throw straight ahead. On 17, you could move the basket to the left side of the creek (same side as the tee pad) or do some minor clearing to give a path (or at least a landing zone) for your tee shot.
-- The pond mentioned in other reviews (and shown on the map) for holes 6-7 was non existent in March 2023. Not only was there no water, the ground was dry to the point of being sandy with no hint of moisture.
