Headline
The Oldest Disc Golf Course in Texas, Recently Renewed, Redesigned and Refreshed.
Description
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.

Accessibility
Not recommended for individuals with limited mobility - 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.
