This is a solid course but has very minimal maintenance done on the course during the summer months. The rough is not properly maintained. Weeds and foliage grow more than five feet in height this past summer. This makes it dangerous for players to scramble from the rough as you cannot see into the ground easily and identify when wildlife is present. Several trees have fallen due to rotting, severe thunderstorms, or strong winds. These fallen trees are still present to this day with no upkeep. The tee pads on hold 7 are unsafe and extremely dangerous with serious fatal dangers, as 1/3 of the blue tee pad hangs over the ledge of the creek overlooking the water, 40 feet below. One misstep and you could easily fall 40 feet to your demise into a creek with 4 feet of water covered by broken tree branches, stumps, and human litter (shopping carts, tires, plastic, etc...). It is so bad, that the tee pads on hole 7 were featured in the Summer 2023 Disc Golfer Magazine on how NOT to design or maintain a course. Only after the article was published, did the city parks and recreation finally address the matter. But all they did is move that same concrete tee pad about four feet from the ledge. I hope that was meant to be a short-term band-aid fix only. Hole 16A, 19 - 21 have been abandoned with no upkeep. The baskets on these four holes are old 80s' baskets and don't coincide with the new updated baskets on the other 18 holes. Many of the tee pad signs have been damaged with no repairs or replacement. There are no restrooms or water stations/fountains found in this park.

Plenty of ample parking, however. The shot design and variety are excellent. Almost all the holes offer a short and long tee pad. A very technical course offering you the chance to only improve on your game. Extremely wooded course offering plenty of shade and cover from hot sunny days and from rainy days as well. With that said, however, make sure you bring the bug spray!

Fun course. You’ll really enjoy if you’re a lefty backhand or a righty forehand thrower, but that’s not to say you won’t enjoy it if you’re not. The course seems favorable to right-turn fl ... show more ›

Fun course. You’ll really enjoy if you’re a lefty backhand or a righty forehand thrower, but that’s not to say you won’t enjoy it if you’re not. The course seems favorable to right-turn flight paths.
There are some clever hole layouts here and the course has a good flow to it. Definitely worth playing.

One of the best courses in the DFW metroplex. It's my favorite everyday course that is never too busy and always challenging. With multiple teepads and baskets that change positions it's always changing and so fun to test yourself and beat your last score. OB river comes into play a few places and is so deep that getting your disc back is basically out of the question.

Played it wet, with the creek running a pretty solid flow. Although most of the course is in the trees, it is fair and challenging (tall trees with few low branches). The creek is wide and deep, with steep walls, so be prepared to do some climbing and wading if you drop a disc in there. That creek is tight on about 4 holes. Lots of good/fair holes, and a good layout, but It needs a "signature" hole or two... Something exciting. The closest thing to a signature is one hole that plays straight up a long channel in the trees. 2 sets of pads and 2 sets of pin location.

My favorite course outside of my home state. This is well taken care of and challenging up to the point it needs to be to still enjoy yourself as an amateur. Mix of all the shots you use. Open holes and tunnel shots mixed into it throughout. Woods and water in play. I found it to be great and a must play if you're in McKinney or even the DFW area in general. Worth the drive.
