Course design isn’t particularly great. Your options for hole 9 are throw your disc in the pond or break the windshield of an oncoming car; especially if you can’t throw 400 feet. Signage is confusing and the holes aren’t always in the same position (ie always long or always short layout).

A pretty lack luster course, although the park itself does have potential, it would need a redesign to get more people playing here imo. The design of hole 2 and 9 are pretty abysmal. Hope 2 runs perpendicular to a pedestrian path and so it’s an even remotely nice day, good luck getting a shot off. With a pretty whipping headwind like there is today, there are few people out there that would be able to get a disc across the pond on hole 9. The chains on the baskets are rusting. The park itself is pretty and like I said before, I believe there’s potential, I don’t plan on coming back to this one any time soon. Which is a shame because I’d like for there to be a decent course in Allen to rival the ones in the surrounding cities. But with Allen prioritizing growth and commercialization with the limited amount of land remaining, I don’t see it happening in the near future.

Old baskets, semi-difficult navigation from some holes to others, course kind of felt like it didn’t belong in the park. Nevertheless was fun for a 9 hole. Could use some trimming especially on holes 4, 8, 9

Very windy. Nice little 9er

Seems like this course is being under utilized. Could be an 18 hole course easily. It also seems time is catching up with it. Baskets are rusting. Played it years ago and had two baskets per hole. Now there is only one. Hope someone can give the course the love it deserves and bring it up to be a great course.

Great simple course . Hole 8 needs to be removed. Add another hole on 8/9

8 to 9 is sort of wacky, and you better throw FAR on your tee shot of 9.

Barely 3 stars. Too many walkers, quite long with hole 9 unplayable without being really good or making a major modification. Water in play on many holes. Too few holes if you are good. Too hard for beginners. Closest course to my house, so I play occasionally out of convenience. But Shawnee, Breck, or Alex Clark make this course look very poor. Again playable. But definitely not a destination course.

Bethany Lakes suffers from the problem that it is hard and a 9. Hole IMO -9 should be beginner friendly and this is not. If this was par-18 I would probably like the course. #7 over a lake (lost a disc), #9 is 300+ over a lake with no real alternatives and very few beginners can handle that. Several other holes basket is right on the water. TLDR; beginners will hate it and lose discs in the water. Experienced players wont play it because there are only 9 holes.

Not bad, just crowded with non golfers that often don’t move. Last time we tried to play we gave up because so many holes were unplayable due to people picnicking by baskets or playing with their dog in the middle of a fairway.

Nice little 9 hole

Be careful there is poop everywhere.

Lots of water hazards. And the water is NOT forgiving. Lots of pedestrians as well. And it’s fairly open course so you’re dealing with wind+water+pedestrians. Not easy. Navigating from hole 8 to hole 9 is tricky... I recommend from the pin at #8, walk back up 8’s fairway, then follow Bethany Road sidewalk East until you see the tee box for 9. The pin for 9 is not visible from the box.

The best 9 hole I’ve ever played

Good luck staying dry: beautiful ponds help define fairways and give players pause as they throw shots, especially on the final signature hole that presents a pro-level water carry en route to a hidden, hilltop green. This pleasant course fits in well with its surroundings and provides a thrill for amateurs and seasoned players.

It’s a great 9 hole. Very pretty in the fall with the pine trees changing color

This is my home course and where I enjoy playing the most. Trinity, Munson, or harry myers would be my next choice.

A lot of water hazards, ducks/geese poop everywhere. Holes not well marked.

Pretty difficult course, kicks my butt like it's an 18 hole. Pedestrians and fowl like to get in the way sometimes but failing your arms around and making weird noises usually clears both!

Hole 9 is too far over the water.
