Tight woods and elevation, a hidden gem near Texarkana

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 5, 2024 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Three tee pads for every hole really changes up what the hole looks like with each one, instead of 'short' 'medium' 'long' so you will never get bored
- Lots and lots of different pars out here from hard par 3 to very difficult par 4 and 5 holes, this course will challenge anyone who wants to be challenged to the max
- Tons and tons of trees in the fairways require lots of accuracy off the tee
- Trees do a really good job of punishing bad drives and upshots making getting par an accomplishment
- Beginning at hole 5 you have lots of elevation, first an uphill dog left right then a down hill triple dogleg par 5, later on more fun up and down hill throws of all par and distance
- All of the different dogleg and multiple dogleg holes make many landing zones along the way that must be hit
- Lots of trouble off the fairway but on the fairway the ground is fairly easy to throw from
- Lots of land and it is for disc golf only. There is so much extra land out here you could build a couple more really big 18 hole courses and they wouldn't bleed into each other at all
- Aesthetically nice to look at, it's also in a peaceful area with not many others around, lots of birds chirping and chipmunks roaming

Cons:

- When I played it only the tee pads for the first two holes had concrete in them and you had to throw from some temporary dirt pads on the side of where the tee boxes are
- I used Udisc to navigate as the little arrows pointing you in the direction of the next tee didn't do the job well enough
- If you get lost out here you may never find the car again, everything looks exactly the same. It's creepy too, pretty sure they filmed at least one of the Blair Witch movies out here
- I'm a woods man, love tightly wooded courses but this course had 0 open or semi holes on it and some holes felt similar, perhaps 1 hole using the big field near the parking lot, at least part of it would be nice. not wide open but maybe open to woods or vice versa

Other Thoughts:

This is a really well designed course in Eastern Texas that does not disappoint. That area where Texas, Arkansas, and Louisiana all meet has a few really good wooded course near it. This is probably the best of the bunch. I also played this in the rain and barely got wet with the tree canopy above which is nice. I was also the only disc golfer here on a Sunday but that may have been because of the rain. Do yourself a favor and come out here and check it out, especially in the months ahead when the course is finished and the tee pads are in. If you're a fan of the woods this is a can't miss course for you.
