My favorite course in the Dallas/Ft. Worth Area. It is well designed and has a good mix of holes and terrain types. It is hard to navigate some of the holes if you are new to the course and the signage is a bit lacking but my rating of 5 of 5 is based on it's challenge and playability which far out-way any of it's defects. In November the VPO is hosted here which is big enough now to have amateurs play on one weekend and the pros on the next.

It has large grass field holes you can bomb on, narrow wooded holes requiring accuracy, dogleg lefts and rights, uphills and downhills. The middle of the course is hilly desert terrain with cactus, mesquite, and steep hills which give you a real workout. Single permanent tees on most holes, basket locations change often so make sure you check which of the 2 or 3 locations they are at before you throw.

Signature holes are:

1: Bomb downhill on a grassy field with the basket tucked away in the woods far down to the right. A good one to throw your whole bag on.

3: Bomb back up the hill on the side of the field shared with hole 1. A lefty's nightmare as the basket is back in the woods way up on the left.

5: Way downhill over mesquite and cactus in desert terrain. Be careful not to bomb on slow-pokes mulling about the basket down there.

12: Long hole on an open field. Champion tees are tucked way back in the woods to the left, hardly anyone knows they are even there as this hole is long enough. No trees here otherwise from the regular tees but the wind is always a factor. You can't see the basket from the tees as there is a gradual hill cresting in the middle. Only long bombers can get past this to get within mid-range for the 2nd shot.

17: Raised tee and another chance to bomb down a hill on a large field. Large trees on the left and a thicket of trees to the right penalize errant tee shots.

Pros: Excellent design and a wide variety of terrains and hole types. Many long holes to bomb on. Replay value is great and hole locations change often to keep things interesting.

Cons: Poor signage and gets crowded on weekends. Trash cans missing or vandalized on several holes.
