Which property? Spring Valley comes to mind

The course you speak of is 1 mile north of 249 on Spring Cypress Rd. behind Wynwood Church and school. It is 18 holes and is pretty dang nice already. Scott the designer and builder took myself, Chase, Mr. Ed, Jim Kelly, Stillwagon, and a host of other people out there this last Sunday. The course is rough and some of the holes will be changed from what Scott said. I felt like the course is on a great piece of land and had some really memorable holes. I don't remember the hole number but the one with the pin on a cliff was Awesome. Jim Kelly commented that "there wouldn't be much score seperation" for advanced level players. Personally I felt that the course was full of potential and could, in the future rival Spring Valley and Oak Meadows. If you head out there be wary of skeeters as this course runs along a few streams and is full of them right now. Other then that I gotta give props to Scott for designing and building one hell of a new course.

So now we are talking about 2 different courses.?? Is this springcypress course open to public and not sure how to get a mile north of 249 via spring cypress?

[Suemac]

If you are coming out 249 from the Beltway, exit Spring Cypress............and turn right. LOL Down a ways on the right.

On Spring Cypress between 249 & Old Louetta Rd.

Heard lots of good stuff about this one.

If you are planning on playing during the day M---F before 5:00PM be sure to check in at the school office for a pass. There is a cop on duty and he will challange you and ask you to leave. You are OK if you check in first.

[Smokin' Joe]

He'll challenge us? CTP, 9-hole or a full 18??

Yes, take 249 north to Spring Cypress, turn right on Spring Cypress and Windwood is about 1/2 miles East on Spring Cypress on your right just past the first traffic light you come to (Huffsmith-Korhville).

As Mr. Ed said the course IS open to the public, however they have a school and like any school, every visitor must check in at the front office upon arrival onto the property Monday thru Friday before 5pm....This is mandatory..... the sheriff will escort you off the property immediately if you do not sign in first.....It's not too much to ask really... The course is also closed on Sundays until 12:00 noon

The course is in it's infancy right now, please understand that, There are no permanent markers yet for the T-boxes, the map you can get at the front desk will help tremendously in navigation.

Sometimes you have to clear it and play it before it reveals itself to you... That is what has happened here, we really like the course as it sits, however the course will change very soon, so enjoy what we've done, but expect it to be different in a month or two.

I must say Doug Rogers of Windwood church and myself designed and built this course together and if it weren't for the help of friends like David Miller from this board and several others who are not on the board, this course would not be playable right now.

Please be patient on the permanent T-box markers, about 6 holes are going to be enhanced. One completely removed (#11) and one new hole built.

Thanks for the props on hole #8 that was my signature hole, I'm very proud of that hole. Thank you

I've got a vision that will take a few other of the curent holes and turn them into awesome, extremely memorable holes as well. We are going to put some serious legs on this course with the enhancements next month that I think even Scooter would approve of and give the course a thumbs up

The course is playable - not finished - we'll hold off on a grand opening and official annoucement until it's officially finished, there is a lot to do there still.

hmmm, right down the road from work!

Congrats, Scott! I know you've been working on this for a while now...can't wait to see it!

This Windwood DGC sounds excellent. I heard about it on Saturday at the MacGregor Tourney and the word was good. Can't wait to get out there myself and play a round.

With the addition of this course, 111 disc golf baskets have been added to the Houston area (75 miles from 77002) since the beginning of the year (and lost two at Burke-Crenshaw), including four new full 18 hole courses.

Let's try to out do this next year.
