Roberts Elementary is located about a 1/2 mile from Rice University. The playground behind the school is a very busy place, and here I'm using busy in the sense that there are toys and picnic tables and climbing apparatus everywhere, very cluttered feeling for an elementary school play area. They must treat 20 students a day for crashing into "stuff." They don't have much open space here. There is a small play field.

The little 6 hole course starts at the back right on the playing field. There are no tee pads and the signs are simple 4" x 4" posts with the hole number on them. The baskets are nice, new DGA models with the red numbers on top.

The course is definitely a pitch and putt. I actually thought it is quite appropriate for an elementary school. # 1 plays about 125' to a basket in the corner. There is a fence on the left waiting for your disc. # 2 plays to the opposite corner of the field, maybe 190' and open. # 3 is about 150' to the basket on the BRH corner. If you're playing basket to basket, # 4 throws through the covered area to the basket just on the other side. Then # 5 plays to a basket sitting on a small hill. You finish with # 6 which plays across the side lawn of the school. I had to skip it because of a soccer clinic for 2-3 year olds. Those kids had no interest in kicking a soccer ball around. And this was at 7:30 on a Saturday morning.

I'm not sure if you could find a daylight hour when this course is completely playable. It just seems like that kind of a playground that would constantly have kids playing on it.

Only 6 baskets.

No tee pads. Play basket to basket. No signs.

Pitch and putt distances and challenge.

I'm amazed that some building principal signed off on this project. There's just way too many structures in such a small area. Anyone using any apparatus here would be in harm's way. If you could guarantee no other people would be here, this would be an OK little beginner course. As is, reserve the 4 am to 6 am block. You might have the course to yourself then.
