Pros:
Sara Collins is a large, gorgeous elementary school campus with lots of recreational activities for students. Amongst the activities are two baskets placed alongside a soccer field. Now, I get to tell you more what two baskets in a field look like.
- Two baskets placed on a slight hill. Good for target practice.
- When school isn't in session, soccer field can be used for practice throws.
- Because this is a practice area, there are not designated tee areas. It's just two baskets to throw towards. As such, you can be creative with your approach shots.
- Nice playground for the kids. The adjoining property also has a nice playground along with more paths to walk or to run on the track.
- Good place to introduce kids to disc golf. Fabulous!

Cons:
Somewhere it listed this place as having three baskets. Only two discs exist. Based on my grade school math, that means one basket isn't here.
- May be hard for anyone to drum up interest when there isn't a true flow to the course. You try convincing a group of kids where the arbitrary tee pad is located for a round.
- It could be used for practice in off-hours but, that's not likely for anyone. You've got to walk a long way around to get to the gates, assuming they're unlocked. A lot of effort to practice in a relatively small space. Even if I lived across the street, it's not worth the hassle.
- Baskets seemed in good shape so there's that.

Other Thoughts:
The best thing Sara Collins has going for it is that you're close to many other solid courses. Maybe a kid will like the game, then you bring them to one of the area's 9-holers. Then when they're ready, bring them to Timmons. And that's how it should work!
- There is enough room between the two campuses that you could make a decent, kid-friendly course. It's a shame this is what you get instead.
- I played here for the sole purpose of saying I played here. I found a spot 150 feet from each basket and threw simply so I could say I played both holes. Pitiful, I know.
- Unless you are a student here, nobody has a reason to play here. Based on the fences and fortress feel, it seems outsides aren't welcome anyways. So, no loss skipping this layout.
