For 2023 the event will return to Houston, spanning 9 area courses while playing host to a 750 player potential. Houston Flying Disc Society, Houston Disc Golf, OneStar, Lucky Ace and Gorilla Disc Golf have taken on the monumental task of facilitating the BIGGEST Texas States player pool EVER !!!



We are absolutely honored to have the opportunity to carry the torch of Texas States. It is our goal to both honor the cherished traditions of the States event and push forward with the growth and progress of our beloved sport. As such, we will be offering divisions not previously offered at this event. Players from MPO/FPO all the way to MA3/FA3 and JR’s will get the red carpet treatment, as we promise to show the same attentions to detail to all players down the line.

This event has been made possible by the City of Houston and Houston Parks and Rec Dept. The Brock park facility is a product of their efforts as a revitalization of the area. Their vision, dedication and efforts towards realizing the goal on this project have been key. Thank you Houston and HPar !!!
