There's a wooded area bounded by the current #6-8 that could be carved out to make at most two more holes. But that brush and undergrowth is super thick and prone to growing back easily. Throwing around it is precarious enough, much less through it. I don't think that course gets the foot traffic it would need to keep carved out fairways from growing back. The wooded area at the front of the park is the same story. So, at best, you'd be looking at four more holes. And if the City ever puts the proposed walking trail on their master plan in that changes things.

IMO, a better course of action with regard to the City of Sugar Land is to help ensure that the proposed course at Sugar Land Memorial Park is a good one.
