Course photo
Cool new “next tee” arrows! If a hole ahead has a pro tee box, follow the white arrow for the pro "white" tees. Otherwise, follow the red arrow to the amateur red tee.You can find the Bart course by using that giant weird water tower to guide you. It's right across the street from the tower. Notice the old basket in this photo. This is one of the signature holes at Bart. The closest I've come has been to birdie it, but it is definitely ace-able if you've got the skills. For proper tee box number, see these concrete squares. Specific "red tees" have red stencils on their markers.

About the course

The Oldest Disc Golf Course in Texas. You've got to check it out now that four brand new red tees have been added to help you out with some of those tough Bart shots. The course now has all new turf tees, new baskets and has been cleaned up a lot. Check the Smart Layouts for the various ways you can play this course. There are now three possible start points: the Classic location on 51st St., Shady Brook Lane and also now next to the Bart Swimming Pool. Each start point has a pro and an amateur smart layout to choose from. Be advised that the course is a "pack in - pack out course" due to the lack of garbage/recycling cans on a lot of the tee boxes. Proper receptacles are located near holes 4, 5, 7 and 14. If trash is found on the course, please escort it to the nearest receptacle. The heavy amount of trash typically found in the creek is due to the very large drainage field that feeds the creek. The entire Highland Mall area, and all of the litter that goes down the storm drains in that area ends up passing through the course. OB: Sidewalks, streets and water are OB at Bart. The thing that looks like a sidewalk on top of the dam is not a sidewalk, it is an erosion control device and is not OB.

If a player were to play the "Quick 9" layout, that has the best accessibility, since it does not require the player to make the creek crossings on the course.

This course features short turf tee pads winding along and across a small creek. With both short and long tees, this course will allow you to score using a variety of shots. Disc loss is possible but not likely. Portable toilets are available. The layout can be a little confusing so Udisc is a must! If the tee pads were longer and there was less litter, or if the course was not in the same town as Zilker, Roy G, and others, it would likely be rated higher. Worth playing but not worth traveling to.
