OK course with some flaws 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 18, 2018 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

* Good location in an under-served area. There are no other courses within 5-10 miles of here, so bringing disc golf to an area that would otherwise have no course is cool.
* There are some fun holes. Most of my favorite holes are from the old setup (this course used to be a 9-hole).
* Nice mix of long/short holes.
* Makes use of varying terrain, including downhill/uphill shots, water shots, etc..
* Course isn't typically very crowded. When we have interacted with other players on the course, most seemed friendly (this is the case with most courses I've been to).
* Baskets are in decent shape.

Cons:

* Confusing layout/lack of signage. If you've never been before, you'll probably want to try to go with someone who has (or risk playing to the wrong basket or searching for tee pads). There are spraypainted markings on some teepads to give a rough indication of where the next one is, but often times it's still confusing. Quite a few of the baskets have the wrong hole number on them.
* Can be rather treacherous to navigate at times, wear your hiking boots or trail runners for this one. If you have mobility issues I would suggest skipping this course.
* Related to the above, it's pretty easy to lose a disc since there is tall grass in many places. It's likely that these places are difficult to get a mower to so I empathize, but it still should be pointed out.
* In my opinion, layout has gotten worse since the days when there were only 9 holes. I would rather see the old 9 hole layout than the current 18 hole honestly.

Other Thoughts:

Is this course worth giving a shot if you've never played it before? Yes, I think so. Do we still go out here regularly, with the other options available in Fort Worth and surrounding cities? No. I appreciate the work that has gone in to this course thus far, and hope that it gets back to its roots (I would have rated the previous 9 hole layout as a 3.5).

Zboaz is less than 5 miles away (which you show marked as "played") and TCC is less than 10. Permanent T signs are finally installed (10/03/21)and the course is in great shape. Come back out with a regular and give it another shot.
