Thanks Eric. I hope to get the rest of the hole pictures out of my phone soon. There is a sign for the walking trail that says "residents only" so I would try to not push the boundaries on this one. This is definitely not a place to smoke/drink, as almost the whole course is visible from the road, and the other very visible from the fairly busy jogging track. Please be aware that there really is no parking for the park, so it is definitely a neighborhood course. Let's be extremely respectful to this park. It is not a destination course that most people will go out of their way to go play, so if something happens like Oak Meadows and the "residents only" starts to be enforced tightly it will directly affect the people that live close to this park. If you do not respect this park then you are causing the people that do live here, causing us to have to pack up, and drive a whole lot farther, usually taking Beltway and paying a toll to play the game that we all love.
So please, be respectful.

Do you have any coordinates to plug in so it can be mapped?

Nevermind - I just used this from the other thread.

Patrick:
We need to check on the residents only situation. It is my understanding that this property belongs to the Harris County Flood Control Distric and the subdivision is using it at there discretion. I guess if push comes to shove they could pull their baskets if they got mad. I just don't see how they are able to restrict access to public property unless there is some kind of lease involved.
Do we know which subdivision put this in ( there are two adjacent to the course ) and/or who who was the catalist and/or designer. To my knowlege you and I are the only discgolfers in the immediate area.

I googled a bit and can tell you that the Wortham Grove sub-division makes no mention of Disc Golf in any of their published newsletters of the past three months. http://www.worthamgrove.com/worthamgrovedocuments.html

The land is owned by Harris County MUD #222, so I can't see how the course can be residents only. Possibly only for the people in that MUD, but that's a stretch too. It's damn peculiar with no parking too. I can't see the county doing something like that.

As for the "residents only" sign, it looks to me like that was put in with the walking trail. There is no dedicated sign for the course that I could see.

Yeah, that's what I saw too, but if the resident's get a bad taste in their mouth they will not hesitate to try to enforce that on the disc golf course as well. I would love to figure out the course designer's identity as well. I would love to run a mini out there of, but of course would like to meet the designer first. I have already started conceptualizing some longer tees (that include the lake)

It would be pretty awesome (an unlikely) if the MUD was spearheading that since there is a lot of land like that in this area. If someone has a secret in - that would be great to find out.

After looking at that lake - it's pretty big. That south part looked like the only great part to incorporate (but maybe you have a better vision ) - but with all that foot traffic on the walkway - it probably won't be worth it. It'd be like a worse version of Nottingham with its pedestrians.

Here is an overhead of the new course location. The red star is the parking lot....walk back across the bridge to the practice basket marked with the blue star. You will see the concrete tee for hole 1.





I went out there this morning and it still was not mowed.

I was also thinking that maybe down the road we could add 9 more holes out there, possibly around the lake a la Neil Dambra's layout at Aquatic Center in Mo City.
