New, grippy Discatchers. Course map before hole 1. Informative tee signs. What tee pads are not torn are grippy and adequate length (see cons).
Abundant distance and opportunities to rip drives.
Multiple tees on most holes offer significant distance and shape variation.

Wide open holes in flood conducive land with little shade or protection from wind. While this is this is the natural landscape of Gulf Coast Texas it makes for holes of forgetful design.
Tee pads (wooden frames with putting turf stapled on top) are not durable. The heavier trafficked short tees have a significant number of pads with the ends torn loose, resulting in a throwing surface worse than the grass adjacent to it.
Insufficient mowing (a problem that plagued the original courses in their waning years) still remains. 10 foot strips of grass carry from tee to basket but grass outside of that grows long and thick.

By and large Tom Bass is a grip it and rip it course across a rice field sprinkled with trees. Early holes take advantage of tighter bunching of trees to demand more precise lines and after that, the majority of holes are wide open with a few trees near the basket to provide some challenge.
All in all, this reincarnation of disc golf at Tom Bass Park does capture the essence of the courses that hosted the PDGA Worlds in the early 00's, but in a form that falls short on the previous bright spots and fails to improve on any of the prior shortcomings.
Come to Tom Bass on a cool, drier day to test your arm's mettle for 7000 feet. Otherwise, there are other more enjoyable courses in the area.

All-new Discatcher baskets. They are easy to see, and all seem to be set at a good height and firmly planted.

Raised wood deck tee pads that are approximately 8 X 3 feet, secured to the ground with rebar and topped with artificial turf (I think you may be legally obligated to call it "Astroturf" in Houston). They were comfortable to throw from and seem to be very well-constructed.

Two tee positions for each hole that sometimes create different angles and shot choices rather than just different distances.

Good use of the few trees available in the park, as well as what seems to be the one available hill.

The fairways were mowed lower than the surrounding grass and a circle (smaller than the ten meter circle) was mowed around many of the baskets, giving the place a professional appearance and leaving no doubt we were on a course and not just near some baskets in a field.

Nice and ample parking area, near a pavilion with restrooms.

Good course map located near first tee and facing the parking lot.

Practice basket near first tee that matches the course targets.

This is a very large park with sections for many different activities, so I doubt that traffic from non-disc golfers on the course would ever be a problem.

The available land and trees are used well in the design of the course, but the available land and trees are not a very interesting place for a course. The holes very much feel repetitive, with many holes having one or two trees to avoid on the way from the tee to the basket. On the long holes, these trees are often 80% of the way down the fairway; on the short holes they are often in or near the circle. Hole 17 is an exception to this rule, with multiple trees and resultant shot choices.

I played after a rain and some fairways were full of standing water. This is a common issue in this area, but something to consider as you time your visit. Several fairways and greens contained 3-5 inches of standing water with no path around, only through.

We had cloud cover, but the majority of the course (everything after hole 5) plays out in the open, with very little shade. This could become a very hot round on a summer afternoon (and I don't mean in a "fire emoji" kind of way).

Though the long tees and short tees do offer different looks on a few holes, mostly the long tee just offers more distance and throws past or over the short tee.

In general, the course starts out with five shorter and somewhat technical holes, then moves out into the (even more) open area for longer holes the rest of the way. Hole 9 features the most interesting pin placement, as the basket is positioned on the back, left downslope of a large mound, which creates interesting choices on the approach shot of a 999-foot hole (from the long tee).

It was nice to revisit this park after many years and find a new course available. The baskets and tee pads are top-notch and the available space is used well. Welcome back to Tom Bass Park!
