Inwood Forest Golf Course

[CleatusHornwinkle]

Here is another property we might wish to examine for its' disc golf possibilities. In about a month there will be a meeting of the Near Northwest Management District. The City of Houston has just acquired the property and the Harris County Flood Control District is involved. I know that I do not have time to spearhead anything regarding this property. I know that disc golf could be a part of any plan to utilize this piece of property. I saw the article in "The Leader" this week and I thought I should bring it to the clubs' attention. Certainly there could be one of those fantastic "day of" courses set up to familiarize people in the disc golf community with the property.

Peace,

Dennis

Where is this area? Can you provide a map link?

Is anyone following up on this? This really sounds like an excellent opportunity. Inwood had three 9-hole golf courses, any one of those could hold a decent 18-hole DG course that would likely rival anything else in the city limits.

I believe there have been proposals submitted and things are moving along.

Yep, already taken care of

Good to know.

I went and walked part of it today. Lots of space out there to work with. It would be better with more trees, but with all the space, I see tons of potential.

So has the HFDS Club presented a proposal regarding Inwood, or is this a case of an individual acting on his/her own?

I'm not aware of any official club activity regarding this newly acquired park.
