If they had more trash cans, benches sprinkled throughout the course, and gold-layout tee pads, I would give it an A+. New tee signs on the 18-hole layout, are a nice touch. I am really pleased with the five new permanent hole additions. You can now play a 23 hole game, or play the Gold Layout, as a result. The city performs constant upkeep and cleanup on this course. A solid course!

Alex Clark Memorial is a good course for all levels. For beginners to disc golf, it offers a shorter yet technically challenging course. Most baskets are reachable with a midrange disc. The hazard of the creek is a challenge even for experienced players, which makes the course enjoyable for anyone. Intermediate players will want to push themselves to finish under par, encouraging those players to "graduate" to Towne Lake, just one mile away. My only criticism is that hole 16 is more challenging for left-handed players than for right-handers. As a lefty, I would like to have a stronger forehand throw. Perhaps that will be my next goal.

Super short course. Great for putters and midranges even for a beginner/intermediate player. Technical, but fun. This course is always PACKED with people who are learning so please be patient. It's a ... show more ›

Super short course. Great for putters and midranges even for a beginner/intermediate player. Technical, but fun. This course is always PACKED with people who are learning so please be patient. It's a fun course that is incredibly well maintained by the city. If you are looking for more of a challenge, Towne Lake is literally across the highway ~3 minute drive parking lot to parking lot.

Renamed out of respect and love to Alex Clark Memorial.

fun fact - before this, there are some City Of McKinney stamped putters super rare plastic. I dont have any.

Pros: -The tee boxes are great. Love the triangle concrete tee pads.
-Old growth trees add some challenge.
-Meandering creek is a significant deterrent to being aggressive.
-Multiple ace run chances.
-Good place for a quick round.
-Friendly locals that helped us navigate.
-Well worn-in course

Cons: -Older goals
-Tee signs missing and vandalized in spots.
-Very short from concrete tees. I did not use a distance driver all day.
-I saw no welcome map and layout was a bit confusing.
-Holes are in close proximity so there is a danger of being hit from players on other holes.

Other Thoughts: A friend and I played a round here and really enjoyed ourselves. It is cart friendly, but you will probably only need a handful of discs.

The creek can suck up discs, but the water was clear, and discs were all retrievable. Make sure to bring something to help retrieve deep discs in places.
There was tons of traffic and everyone was very helpful. I would recommend playing with a local since many goals can be seen from tee boxes so it can be confusing.

Rating would be higher with better signage, longer holes (We did not know about long tee locations), and basket upgrades. But I would definitely recommend if you are looking for a fun easier course to play.

Short holes but very fun for a quick round or beginners. It was a little busy the day I played it but not horrible. The locals said it does get the most traffic usually from the chucker crowd but that's to be expected. It has a fairly easy layout to navigate and the amount of ace runs for even a short thrower like me was fun. I'd play it again if I'm in the area and want an easy round.

A good goal for this course is 15 under. I like the tall trees providing much shade, and one must navigate through many to stay on course. The creek is a doozy with steep banks and deep murky water ... show more ›

A good goal for this course is 15 under. I like the tall trees providing much shade, and one must navigate through many to stay on course. The creek is a doozy with steep banks and deep murky water in some areas. The holes are short and simple. It's conviently located next to McKinney's other course right on the other side of the highway.

First round on course with rival ron leading me the way. Pros: nice layout around drop-off water hazard, clean park, lots of ace and birdy tee's lots of trees, and will improve your tight game Cons ... show more ›

First round on course with rival ron leading me the way.
Pros: nice layout around drop-off water hazard, clean park, lots of ace and birdy tee's lots of trees, and will improve your tight game
Cons: kinda muddy, lots of traffic although very friendly, lots of risk of disc loss, Ron and his boys lost 3 on this round and its like don't even think about getting it back.
impression: very cool and awesome park to play that will force you to totally dial in every shot even though short lots of consequences to pay if you misfire one. .
