Pros:
For being a relatively new course that is 80% in the woods, the course is cleared out nicely. Some brush that is on the sides of the fairways need to be moved out, but it does not interfere with your play.
Unlike its former counterpart, Coyote Crossing, 43rd Crossing is easily accessible and can intertwine easily with the main TC Jester Course. At the former, you had to walk across the train tracks. Here, it is a short walk across 43rd St from the 8th basket, and the sixth hole here ends right at the tee for hole 9 at TC Jester.
The course has big bricks installed in the ground designating tee numbers and nice new Patriot baskets that are permanently installed in the ground. The course is very wooded, and probably outside of Jack Brooks Cedar Hill, has the most testing wooded holes in all of the Houston area, even for being just six holes. The holes are wooded, but they are all fair and have real golf lines to get to each basket. Hole 4 is the only hole that is out in the open; it is the only hole that has a classic TC Jester hole, which is probably a good thig
Cons:
The park that the course is on is fairly expansive, but the six holes are in a very small part of the course, and the fairways are very close together. Though I appreciate the fact that there are barricades made of out branches blocking discs from entering the next fairways. Just in case there is more than one group out on the course.
Navigation is a bit of a challenge as the bricks are not visible unless you are right on top of them. The course map on this site is very useful and helpful.
The foliage that the course runs through is/was the home of someone, and their stuff is still strewn around hole number 2. Just be cautious.
Other Thoughts:
There is nothing better than throwing a perfect shot through the woods. There is nothing worse than pinballing off of trees through the woods. You can expect both of those to happen here.
I appreciate the work that has been done here, and I was surprised how much I enjoyed these six holes. It is easy on and easy off of the regular TC Jester course, and I recommend the 20 minute detour.
