fun course!
@philport3r
Wow. I was not expecting how beautiful this course would be. It was loaded with different shot shapes and a variety of difficulties. I recommend playing a round here.

Unique track for the area. Actual elevation to play with sometimes. Plays in a flood basin so watch out after big rains, that being said, most of it drains well. It's in the hood.

Not a 4, but not a 4.5 because there are no tee pads or signage. For the ladies, no bathrooms
@jeterdawg
Great mix of holes – short and long, elevated and flat, lefty and righty, open and wooded, normal basket and hanging basket. Over time, this course will only get better!
@sheldonj
Super fun track with baskets on the sides of the inclines giving some elevation in H-town. Couple of the first wooded holes a little tight imo. Crossing fingers for real tee pads, the naturals can be a little slippery. Has the potential to be one of the best in Houston.

The good. There are a lot of fun elevation shots on this course. Forehand and backhand shots are both great on this course. Plenty of different shots to keep you occupied. The bad. This course is just in a bad area. There's no other way to say this. There is literally a homeless camp in part of this course. There are a few wooded holes that need to be widened a little bit. A 5 ft gap for 280 ft is too narrow for anyone that's not a pro throwing a putter. But the wors part of this course is almost every hole out in the open. These holes have clearly had a ton of tractors and heavy machines through it in the past. The ground looks like a waffle but the grass has grown over it making it incredibly dangerous footing. I honestly can't think of a single course in all of Houston with worse footing. It's bad. They should think about renaming the course anklebreaker. The teepads are all dirt except for the weird hole that starts on a drainage ditch. About a third of the dirt holes have roots or stumps you can trip on or are lumpy. This course has promise but with the area being terrible and the course just being okay. I don't need to go back.

Best shot design in Houston. Elevation changes, holes more targeted for RHBH and RHFH. Extremely fun and challenging course. Drawbacks are no tee pads yet, and also lots of divots in the ground. Be careful to not twist your ankle. Some areas of high grass too. Once the maintenance is up, this will be the best course in Houston by a good bit.
@mooseface
Challenging course but lots of fun. Nice shot variety and use of space. Someone put a lot of effort into this course. Holes 11 and 12 were under water from recent flooding. Difficult to find where to park.
@okkevin
Brand new course that has teeth! Pretty fun, but some of the lines are a little bit too tight. Still shot one of my best friends of the year, though I wish I could play the tournament this weekend.
@bfizzle
Ford tough. Super fun. Wide variety of shots. Will challenge you. Great add to the rotation. Send it.
@cougar
Really beautiful course! Very unique course with elevation changes! With adding tee pads and more frequent mowing and tee signs it has potential to be one of the best in Texas
@bransten
Very weird parking !!!! whoever designed his course wasn’t thinking !!!!you’re supposed to park at hole # 1 and start at hole #1 . They should’ve made #17 hole #1 instead because that’s where you start , very difficult course , wear good ankle support.
@droccmecyrb
Hole one is a great tone setter. Beautiful open hyzer with a taunting low straight shot option. After that, however, the course could do better. Many holes offer 5 foot gaps as a means to slap the “wooded” sticker on it and it’s just not feasible. Northwood black has bigger gaps. The open holes are very boring. Most being hyzers. If all of the holes were 100 ft to 150 ft farther this course could have potential. As of now the course design leaves it being a pitch in putt with slightly more length and not that much teeth. The double black diamond rating is not accurate whatsoever.

Terrain is very difficult like most are saying. Be aware that your vehicle may be broken into. I had some friends play last week and all four of them had their cars broken into while they were playing.
@roadto501
Beware slower players. They appear ignorant of custom and courtesy. Love the elevation here!
@aggiejonathan
The baskets on the side of hills gets a bit redundant, but definitely creates a challenging course. Huge amount of potential as more of the Discgolf community plays it and helps clean it up.
