Bates Park

"Well put together course a lot of ant beds got attacked a few times."

"Great beginners course. Grass was trimmed, nice tee pads, signs, and baskets. "

"Nice park course in a pecan grove!"

"Very well kept and new. The tee offs are cement and easy to throw from. Very good for beginners but watch out for the wholes that make you play ditch golf. They’re more challenging."

"Amazing course fresh mowed"

"BOOM! Concrete tee pads installed! Thank you City of Angleton for making a great fun course even better!"

"Course is fun, there could be better upkeep on the grounds, lots of ruts and such in the back 9. The ditch on hole 6/9 would be nice if it was mowed more often."

"Course hold a good amount of water. I slipped on 18 in the mud because there aren’t tee pads on most of the holes"

"Awesome little par 3 course. As of right now bring your waders "

"Fun course with lots of good growth opportunities for beginners and intermediate players alike. Bring the bug spray!"

"Fun, short, pretty course"

"Short "easy" course. Great for a little technical work."

"Was surprised the course was flooded in a few places. The tee pads were either really muddy or held water in them. Besides that a solid coruse with evenly spaced out trees. Hopefully I can come again and play when the course is dry"

"Nice fun short course. Midrange and putters mostly but fun. Fairly dry even after moderate rain."

"Great little course especially for those of us that can not throw 350 plus ft. All the holes are 300 or less ft. The lines are tight on some of the holes and most all of them have a low ceiling. Nice black hole baskets. Unfortunately they only have grass tee pads. Wish there was concrete or turf pads. Seems to drain well after rains. They layout is easy to follow. The tee signs are not great. The musquitos were horrible. All in all a great course. "

"Great beginner course, well kept. Low tree canopy with tree obstacles, no real rough areas have to scramble from"

"Always in good condition. Needs a restroom on the Bates side like the one on the Dickey side. "

"Windy"

"Shorter with a few mandos and low ceilings. Drains fairly well so is playable shortly after showers. Great baskets, easy to navigate, new tee pads are an awesome addition, always a fun round. "

"Besides lack of solid teepads, the course is quite fun. While short, it still provides some challenge with ceiling and lines. Great for beginners. Great for midrange and putter practice for skilled players. Seems to be the driest option in Brazoria County. Can be busy near hole 1, 2, 17, & 18 on Saturdays and Sundays. This is a multi use park and area."

"Great beginner course! There are two holes close to a ditch so RH backhand throwers should be careful there. The course is laid out really well and ends where it begins."

"Short course but plenty trees to challenge"

"Like a cousin of Nottingham Park. Perfect for beginners. Trash cans everywhere, clean, amazing baskets, fun holes"

"Great course. Upkeep is always on point. Lot of foot traffic though"

"Clean"

"Enjoyed the round. Cool little course. 👍 "

"Literally the perfect beginner course; however, that doesn't mean a more advanced player can't have an absolute blast here. Low ceilings force a new player to learn to throw nose down. Lots of ace runs for more advanced players. Easy to navigate and makes sense. I enjoyed every hole. Good job on this one B County! Also would be cool to see a set of longer tees added in the future."

"Nice shaded course. Lots of trees makes you hit your lines. Good course for working on 250ish approach shots."

"Pretty simple shorty course, nice tho "

"A fun, friendly course! Reminds me of Bayou Bend with better shade and a full 18. "

"New layout is a lot of fun. It’s short but lower ceiling and controlled shots. "

"Definitely keep your throws low, and watch out for the poison ivy near hole two."

"New layout is fantastic, one of my favorite courses for a relaxed round since there are minimal hazards, it's always maintained and does well after rain. "
