Reviewed: Played on:Apr 28, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

* good variety of holes. Some nice open areas as well as some tight tunnels. You will need your whole bag of tricks on this course.

*Elevation changes & a heavily wooded creek are prominent in several holes. I loved holes 3 & 4.

* Concrete tees on all holes.

*Mandos were well marked and are a great addition. Logically placed and did not impede the flow of the course. Well played.

Cons:

* Signs are needed. Both for pin locations and distances as well as next hole info.

*Could use some better creek crossings. I'm sure the city would likely have to be involved in that unfortunately. But would be worth pursuing.

Other Thoughts:

I was able to play this course completely for the 1st time at the Cambodian tournament. We were paired up with a wonderful gentleman that knew the course well & made it easy to follow. I believe I would have been completely lost without someone that had been there more than a few times. Also with the heavy rains the night before, the course was pretty muddy in some of the lower lying holes, and 17 was absolutely unplayable.
I enjoyed the variety of holes this course brings. My favorites are the elevated holes like 3 & 4 to name a few. There are many on this course, and you will get a workout playing. There's not much better that standing on a hill and watching a good drive floating down towards a long pin some 300ft away, or throwing blindly up a hill, watching your disc disappear over the rise and hoping you land safely on a fairway that you can't see.
All in all, this was a fantastic course and deserving of a high rating. I'd recommend this course to anyone that wants a good challenge. This course is going to be on my list of favorites for sure!

I`m glad this is my home course 2+ years drive by

Pros:

this course will test every shot you have. It is easy enough for someone new to have fun and challenging enough to test a pro. I remember when this was a rough course but with the help of volunteers like john and help from the city it has really became a beautiful course.

Cons:

Hey its north Texas we get crazy weather. Whether its pouring rain for 10 straight days, snow, blistering heat, hurricane like winds or the occasional earthquake the course can take a beating sometimes. But it always bounces back that's just north Texas for ya. We just toughen up y`all.

Other Thoughts:

I don't think ill ever birdie hole 6. its just not in my repertoire. But gosh darnet I'm gonna keep trying. This course will test every single shot you have and expose your weaknesses in an instant. I love this game and this course makes it really easy to enjoy playing every single weekend and will make you want to do fieldwork during the week to improve!

Pros:

Amazing!! This course is a highly technical eighteen hole beast that requires every shot in your arsenal. Each hole is unique and varied from the next giving you a diversity of different golf shots including: tight tunnel shots,valleys and rolling hill shots in open and dense woods, and a monster hole #4 where the drive off the teebox is up an almost vertical hill. I really enjoy playing this course and am challenged each time I play.

Cons:

Needs tee box signs

Thanks for the positive review. Patriot club will be raising funds to put the new permanent T-signs in around the summer of 2019.
