Some of these courses may be completed recently others haven't even begun construction. If anyone has any information on the progress of these courses post it here or start a new post for each new course. Keep up the hard work Texas, pretty soon will have a course in every city!

I have word from the Concho Valley Dsic Golf Assoc. that there are similar plans to add disc golf to the State Park near San Angelo. Hopefully next year, but maybe the year after that.

Any idea the name of the state park putting this course in near San Angelo?

No...let me get with my contact down there....

Has anyone around the Austin area heard anything about this course:
