Pros:
Note: I am going to be reviewing this as an 18 hole course since they have had all 18 baskets installed for over half a year now.
-large concrete tees on half of the course, the other half has natural tees that are in good condition for the most part
-lots of birdie ops
-best beginner course in Austin as most of the holes are around 200'-250'. There's 3 or 4 holes that are right around 300' give or take, and there's a couple shorter than 200'.
-impossible to lose a disc as the rough, which only exists on a handful of holes, is quite forgiving.
-can be played in under an hour when the traffic is low, and really, the only time I ever play this course is when I don't have time to play any other.
-It's located next to Barton Springs pool, which has nothing to do with disc golf, but is probably the best thing about this course.
Cons:
-too short; this is a course where you just never have the opportunity to really let loose and bomb one.
-too easy. Whether it's short or long (most being the former), it's just plain easy, emphasis on the plain...and the easy. There's no tunnel shots with most of the holes having only 1 or 2 trees you need to avoid to get an easy birdie.
-It's a boring course with no risk/reward type scenarios. No risk--all reward.
-$3 parking fee during the weekend makes this course even less appealing, although you can park under the Mopac bridge or on the north side of Barton Springs Rd., both of which are only a short walk away from the course.
Other Thoughts:
I would not recommend this course to anyone other than someone just learning the game or if you only have an hour to play.
There's a sign at the beginning of the course that says no alcohol allowed, which is weird because every other park/DGC in Austin allows you to drink beer as long as it's in cans.
It can actually get pretty crowded with beginners (i.e. very slow players in large groups) during the weekend so an expected 1 hour round can turn into a 2 hour round if you catch it at the wrong time.
If you're an experienced disc golfer there's really no reason to play this course considering every other Austin area course is better and more challenging.
