Finally, a reasonable school course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 22, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

I've played my share of bad "courses" at elementary and middle schools through Texas. Courses with no tee signs, no numbers on baskets, no obstacles. I'm sure you have played one also. Heck, I even played one right after playing here.

Riverwood DGC is probably the best school course I've played because there are tee signs, numbered baskets, and obstacles. (I know, the bar was set way high) In all honesty, no holes are bad holes out here. It is a perfect pitch and putt course with short distances, but still adds challenge with mandos, marked OB (hole 3) and an island hole (hole 8). There is a good amount of shot variety, hole 6 needs a short hyzer to get to the basket, hole 3 is the same, but with the added OB risk.

Each hole offers something unique from the rest of the course, which is great for the school kids who will be playing here. Distances are marked, the baskets are nice, new DisCatcher baskets. Whoever designed the course put obvious thought into the design.

Cons:

Because of my cynical thoughts about school courses, I assumed there were no tees. I finally found a couple tees after playing a few holes basket to basket. The tees are bricks sunk into the ground, making it very hard to easily locate the next tee. There is a long walk from basket 5 to hole 6, and the tee for hole 6 is not in an obvious place. Tee for hole 7 is also not in an obvious place. I tried my best to add hole tips on this site for where the tees are located at. I will add a map as well to help with this con.

Tee for hole 1 is not near the parking lot, but closer to the school, but why should it be? The course is designed for the kids at the school not for me parking my car in their lot.

Other Thoughts:

Like I mentioned, I was pleasantly surprised by this course once I found out there were tees. This is a perfect course for beginners and middle schoolers.

Obviously, don't try to play here when school is in session, try for after school, weekends or summer.
