Round Rock
BB Owens

Round Rock and Crowley?
what?
what course in round rock, surely not old settlers.

Oh ya.

I like the South course though. What is so good about a wide open course with no obstructions.

I dont like it much either but it would be hard to put it on the TX Worst 10 list. :D

try learning to throw and putt in the wind and if round Rock is in your worst 10 you are one dumb SOB :eek:

#1 - Billish Park in Corpus. (Or, What Would Happen If You Took Nine Baskets And Dropped Them Onto A Coastal Beach.)

I second Billish park as the worst. It is a twenty minute or so drive for me I played once and doubt I'll have reason to go back.

I've actually been there 3 times, everytime hoping it would somehow get better.

It didn't.

Flesner, stirring up trouble. First, you beat them, then you dis their course. ;)

First, you beat them

I dont think flesner won any of his ROUND ROCK Matches. :o I do think the rest of his team played good.

<ul type="square"> Miramar Park, Seabrook, TX (9 holes)- The first five holes play blindly down walking paths through thick rough, with an extremely low shoulder off the path. From the tee pad, the thrower has no idea whether there are pedestrians, joggers, bikers, etc. up near the target, and with a dropoff of several feet on each side of the path, there's little recourse if a person sees a thrown disc coming at them.

Burke Crenshaw Park, Pasadena, TX (9 holes)- Pretty much just wide open boringness. [/list]

WO Harrington
Grand Prarie

#1 def. Billish
The only other courses i can think of are the Tom Bass courses

try playing Rowlett or saginaw,entire course is in a flood plain

That is what I call an optimist. Or is it masochist?

Billish sounds like a way to fish and play golf at the same time since it is on a beach.

Not really on a beach. It is on a sand lot full of stickers. I think there are three trees on one hole and four on another. And those are skinny palm trees. There might be one good hole.

Tommy and Sue Brown Park in the mid-cities. You could shoot under par with a mini......
BTW- Saginaw is a great place to PRACTICE, it is always windy! Plenty of room to do whatever you choose! Also, the flood situation has been greatly enhanced by the city.

Is c-ware telling me I need putting practice. :D

We all have our opinions and I don't like round rock.

And you are right I didn't beat Epi or Jimmy they both played some great golf. I birdied 11, 12, and 13 on the back of the meadow and didn't gain one stroke on Jimmy.

Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over again expecting different results...In my defense, though, Lamar was closed at the time.

There might be one good hole.

A little harsh to have these 2 on a "worst" list. They are great for introducing people to the game.

As challenging as Circle C or Cicle R? No but, I've gotten some great mid-range practice in once I realised that throwing a driver 60ft past the basket on an "ace" run doesn't help your score. (and these two courses are about the only ones I can drive past the basket)

What's the matter with Research Park? Sure I was a true rec player when I went to school there, but it's in a beautiful park, has some challenging holes, and was a lot of fun to play after (sometimes during) classes. Also, Camelot may not be the greatest course, but it does take full advantage of the skinny little strip of land it's on.

I think someone is still upset over a certain football game. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

how about a list of course i will not drive to play at. It's not that these courses are the worst of Texas, it is that i would not play there again.

Saginaw
The Colony
Rowlett
Coppell
Hitchcock
Round Rock
Grand Prarie
Denton

Every other course I have played in Texas I would play again.

I guess if I had your arm I would not want to play Round Rock either. what a wanker :o you should add PP OWENS to that list those baskets are a JOKE

I guess if I had our arm I would not want to play Round Rock either.


You and Bryan sharing arms these days. :D

LOL...nice catch James

:confused:

I guess if I had <font color="red"> our </font> arm I would not want to play Round Rock either.

huh

LOL...you changed it focker... :p

:D

10.Searight(18-Hole) Austin,TX



Whoah, hey now!! Searight is the nuts!

Round Rock only has a few good holes. Most are long just to be long. Now it has been several years sense I have played out there. I don't mind long courses, just don't like ones that I feel like I am playing in a field.

Dont you mean pasture :o:D

Interesting that a "pasturized" course is also kind of sterile... :eek:

Tally measuring distances, and for us ladies who lack a wacker, just silly long. :D:o:D

Hey, I still have fun everytime I play there. It's the local color that makes each visit so memorable.

Sterile? Aren't pastures full of poo?

Quite a difference between a pasture and a pasturized course. Although Moody's...

Lot's of Moooooooo @ Moody's!

That stuff is sure TEXAS sized!

W.O. Harrington is a 9-hole course on a little square of essentially open field just east of the airport on Valley View. For the lay of the land, they have done about as much with it as can be done, but I for one won't be rushing back out to play it. The Fritz Park guys take their Saturday mini out there once a month.

you got to realize the guy who keeps bringing up has no ARM for long courses and mcgibbon isnt a pasture where you meet your first LOVE the back end of a cow!!!

**** and all this time I thought that was you I bumped into :o:D

I have not been out ot Eagle Ranch yet.
Mountain Creek is not marked. you will not be able to find any tee's.
Harrington is not worth playing either, add that one to my list. (and I have played it 4 times so far)
Andrew Brown park is only 6 baskets. Very short from what I hear. I don't know if I will ever add this to my 175 courses played.

6.Our Lady Lutheran course-Austin
7.Wells Branch-Austin

A little harsh to have these 2 on a "worst" list. They are great for introducing people to the game.




Killam took me to both of those courses a year or so ago. I labeled Wells Branch the hardest course in Austin after taking a 7 and a 5 on two of the nine holes. :p

thank you, Bryan.
That is what I was looking for.
nothing on the PDGA Course Directory indicates whether courses are, marked, mowed, maintained, or safe for mom and baby ( ie: in a relatively safe area). Also, while I enjoy different elevations when playing prior to pregnancy, now I want to know which courses are stroller friendly.
I'm out of practice and not ready to return to tournament play or even playing in minis. I would enjoy just going out and playing casual sometime. I saw the list by zip code and realized there were several courses I had not played, many never even heard of. :confused:
We're ready to move from the infant stroller to the jogger. However, even that type of stroller would be difficult to navigate across parts of Z-Boaz, even with Don's help.
Of course with the cold front, we won't be out playing this weekend. Next weekend we'll be in Tyler...watching another tournament. Perhaps soon the Q family will be able to go out and play together.
okay, now I'm whining, so I'll stop typing. ;)

Thanks, John, that says enough about those courses to make my mind up.
I am jones-ing to play a round so bad, I can't keep off the board. I think I may go to the local city park and work on drives tonight before it gets cold -- with a stroller and a leash in tow.

I have to agree about Z-Boaz and strollers. I've only played it once, when we were enroute to Austin for the TWC in '05. DeLynn and Disc Diva were excited to play the course so I took baby duty and pushed Baby Rock around in his stroller while trying to throw some of the holes. WOW! There are some pretty difficult sections for a stroller, even a good off-road type baby buggy. I enjoyed the areas I could get to, but spent quite a while going around some of the hard areas. It would be really cool if the course directory could have some information about if a course is "stroller friendly" or not.

especially since I know several of the OMB types that play with strollers quite often and don't even have babies.

Went to Crowley this weekend with my one month old girl in a jogging stoller. I thought her head was going to pop off! But she just slept the hole time. Next time it will be the baby backpack!

How do you throw your drives with the backpack? I don't throw with much power and have not tried with the pack on, but it seems like it would be difficult.

Congrats again on the newborn. Just be careful the first few months, their immune system isn't the best at that age.

When Baby-H was just less than a year old he witnessed his uncle Gary throw an ace on Hole 2 at Grapevine. I held his hand and helped him sign G's disc. Too cool.

Get that baby a pdga #. If she's interested in it later she'll thank you. I got Ryan his number when he was 5 days old. # 24447. :D

Cant talk my wife into playing but she goes sometimes so she would be wearing the pack. But my brother-in-law has a free standing pack, so when you get ready to throw you can set the pack down and it will stand up right. I will be getting one of these if my wife ever desides to play.

Round Rock is a "links" course just like Tom Bass, Gonzales, etc.

links
1. originally referred to seaside courses on "links land" (seaside grassy area), now used loosely to mean any golf course 2. ("links style course, links course") an exposed, windswept (sometimes seaside) course characterized by gently rolling mounds/dunes and very few (if any) trees. There are even links style courses inland nowdays.

If your not into these kinds of courses than they shouldn't be in your worst list. They're still good courses, maybe just not your prefrence is all.

As for the college station area, I wasn't cheering for either team the other day. You do on the other hand have the worst amount of courses per square mile in all of Texas. That many to play in such a small area and none worth visiting once, if that. The only other place that compares is Houston. For as many courses as they have, the majority are really bad nine holes and I've played them all, I'm from there. I hate seeing wasted pins!! :mad:People need to stop putting in crappy nine holes and start dedicating time to building courses that represent the sport better. For example the new Oak Meadows and the amazing Live Oak. :D :D San Antonio could have a bunch of lame nine holes all around town instead the disc golfers built Live Oak. Their new 18 hole course is looking pretty nice also!! :cool:

As for Searight, don't get me started on that place. That place is horrible, you know it, I know it, and so does everybody else that has ever played there. Either learn how to play or don't bother wasting gas driving there when you could go play a real course(Circle C) right down the street.

I don't know how many Links courses that you have played, but they are typically not long. Peable Beach, Spy Glass, and I could go on but no need.

my worst in texas is arrowhead state park, just south of wichita falls. there was a baby rattlesnake under one of the baskets, and the course was nearly unplayable. it was 18 holes, but very poorly designed and there were chest high weeds everywhere except for one 3 ft wide path cut by a lawnmower connecting each tee and basket.

This reminds me of another issue with W.O. Harrington. The one and only time I played it, there was an angry 6 ft. bull snake near one of the baskets. Wrecked my game for the rest of the round.

personally I agree with RT. we should be happy to have any and all of these courses. So we NEED TO STOP BASHING these courses as these are someone's home courses that I am sure they put time and effort into trying to make them the best they can., So the next #$*&$! who says something about my home course round rock might want to be expecting a fist in the face next time I see them :mad:

Round Rock sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!

about has much as your golf game anyone know this int scrub??? :confused:

It should be said that some of these courses are legacies that are very outdated. Here in Houston, we could probably stand to lose 5-7 of the courses (and we have lost a couple already) simply because they aren't used and really aren't valid with today's DG technology.


That said, OSP still needs a few more trees. ;)

<font size=1>I kid, I kid...</font>

I've never met him but he's pretty funny.

real funny but not too bright as he is been trying to reply to the thread for about 5 mins.

I agree with the trees at OSP but we have to work with what we have. more trees arew being planted everyday

Round Rock sucks!!!!!!!!!!!!



I second that. :p

Don't be a "Who's Online" perv.

Flesner I figured you would be the first to respond but little E beat you too it. I am pretty sure RR is better than this mixed up course I am hearing about called crowley but I will not sink to his level and bash the course since I have not played it. and Lou I can be any kind of perv I want :D:p

I will give you that.

Don't get mad I am just messing with you.

Round Rock is north of Austin. The course is near the Dell Diamond. Olse said he played it yesterday.

There, I said three things. :p

when will I see you next James I have something for you /msgboard/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

OUCH!:D

Sorry I am at work next time it will be faster! :D

So the next #$*&$! who says something about my home course round rock might want to be expecting a fist in the face next time I see them :mad:



Does anyone else find it ironic that someone that squawks about censorship would rely on a threat of violence to supress someones opinion. /msgboard/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

Ok at round rock holes 2,5,6,and 17 suck. the rest are ok but nothing great. The A hole is pretty good as well as 12 and the C hole. Still better than almost everything in H-town IMO.

That is saying alot. :o

Thant new course off of 290 is nice and it is second to Tom Bass IMO. You going to Tyler?

Yeah i'll be in tyler. I think oak meadows has too many similar shots (nothing has to go right) but it is still nice.

No way.

Some good two shot holes from the blues. Wood holes, open holes, left holes, righty holes, birdie holes. Some good holes where you could go for the roler or lay up, and with some water in that creek and the lakes there are some good OB chances. Compared to the other courses in Houston I would give it a A-.

Name a hole <350 that finishes to the right. :confused: #17 is the clisest to that and if you just throw straight you can still get within 20ft. I still would give it a B+ but it would be an A if it had more lefty or sidearm holes.

You mean right.

I guess you are right. Alot of straight shots, and hole 14 or 15 is a sidearm hole.

Yeah I fixed it. :DYeah hole 14 is a sidearm if you have a good one but the hyzer line is the choice that most people take. The course need shots that force you to throw an anhyzer. There that is better.

isnt #17 an anhyzer shot?

I already metioned that one. To be next to the pole you have to have it anhyzer but a decently straight shot will still leave you a 20fter or so.

real ironic
