TLU DGC 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 11, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The course offers plenty of chances to let it fly with your drives and has holes that cater to both right and left handed players.

Generally a flat surface with a small hill around holes 2 & 3.

The trees on campus offer a few interesting tunnel shots and the grounds are always well maintained.

Cons:

I've been told that official tee box markers with hole #, par, and general direction are in the works, but at the moment the lack of signs can make this course difficult to navigate for the first few times around.

The tee boxes are pretty small. If I start from like 1.5 steps behind the box, I can step onto it and not overstep but that isn't exactly ideal.

Also, the course makes its way straight through the middle of campus so you do run the risk of meeting up with pedestrian traffic. However that is generally immediately before and after class, so it isn't a horrible inconvenience.

The chains are also a small problem. TLU only bought baskets with single chains, so you do run the risk of having your disc slip right through.

Other Thoughts:

As a TLU student I love that we upgraded the course before I graduate. The full 18 with baskets is so much better than our old bell-and-chain set up.

I enjoy the challenge that this course offers me. Granted I have only been playing for around six months.

The location is also super convenient. I live a few blocks from campus, so in the past if I wanted to shoot at a basket I was forced to drive to SA, ATX, or the Texas State course.

Challenging course, Well Maintained 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 10, 2014 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

As mentioned it is well-maintained and challenging for even someone who's played for a while. Every hole plays long, so if you enjoy long drives your first shot, you'll enjoy this course. It is on a college campus so the grass is well cut and there's little chance of losing a disc. To me i felt there was relatively good variety among the holes as well. They did a good job with what they had on this campus in terms of course design. It is also just lightly wooded and plays on a relatively flat surface.

Cons:

There aren't any signs up at any of the tee box and navigation can be an issue. Some days pedestrian traffic is better than others.

Other Thoughts:

I enjoy this course very much and admire the length on most the par 3 holes. It adds a challenging feel to what would usually be easy par 4 holes.

Really Fun Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 7, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

- WELL MAINTAINED AREA, this course will always be in perfect condition with beautiful grass since it's on a college campus
- Lots's of really nice trees
- Holes are long, will strecth out your game
- a lot of cool roller shots
- Good variety of shots and several low long shots, which I personally like
- Lots of parking and facilities
- Targets are brand new (although they are single chain)

Cons:

- Single chain baskets
- Hard to navigate the first time through
- no tee boxes (the tee boxes they have are rediculously small)
- Lots of walking

Other Thoughts:

Whoever reviewed this first unjustly reviewed it. I played the course mid day on a Monday when you'd expect pedestrian traffic to be a problem. HOWEVER, it wasn't. The campus isn't busy and they did a great job with the land they had. Of course there are a few holes that left me scratching my head when throwing between buildings, it doesn't warrent rating this course as a 2 star course. Helotes is a 2 star course, not this course. If you are traveling through the area, play the course! If you are from the area, play the course. It's at least as good as the other courses in San Antonio.
