Old Settler's Park DGC

"Still a lot of loose brush and branches that need to be cleared"

"Starts with mostly open fields with longer drives and turns into more wooded obstacles in the back half. Lots of hiking up and down hills. "

"Needs maintenance from the freeze badly. "

"Couple trees still need to get taken care of"

"Lots of downed trees, a few holes are nearly unplayable. "

"Lots of fallen debris. Foliage right off the fairways super thick"

"Hole 16 needs clean up bad"

"Some brush needs clearing and some trees need cutting down."

"Nice "

"Love this course. So fun. 😊🤙🏼🥏 "

"Course in great shape. Tough and heavily wooded."

"A hard but fun course"

"Tough course. Getting par on some of the wooded holes is like getting a birdie. I played in 25 MPH and it was ROUGH!!!"

"Great course with a good mix of long and short holes."

"Very tough. "

"1-10…. Certified 20."

"Great Course you can tell a lot of thought went into the design. Top 5 on my list!"

"Wonderful, challenging layout but far too many people wandering across and through the course slowing things down and causing tensions"

"Technical course"

"Very fun, slightly technical"

"I liked this course. The woods portion here was really cool; challenging, but fair lines cut through the live oaks & more elevation changes than I expected to find in east TX. I didn’t find it any more difficult than many others, though there are a number of deep gullies adjacent to the fairways. If n doubt, throw a middie & keep it in the fairway. Play here. It’s great. "

"People taking pictures on course"

"Little muddy "

"Great course"

"Very difficult"

"Good course overall, though absolutely brutal scrambles. Very hard course "

"Well maintained course with a great variety of shots. Definitely a pro level course. Probably my favorite course so far in TX "

"By far the hardest course I've played. Not at all forgiving for the new players"

"Good Runs "

"Perfect mix of holes but a couple loooooong walks. Definitely worth a play "

"Barbed wire on the ground inside the circle of one of the holes by the creek - kicked up while putting and got me good! Great course though."

"Trees knocked cause ice storm "

"Nice challenging course with lots of trees. Get to use all your disc and different variety of shots. "

"First 4 holes are pretty wide open, and underwhelming compared the the amazing holes 5-18. Wide range of distances and shapes. Need to stay on the fairway to make pars. Very very crafty design. Beware of the barbed wire on the ground on the left side of hole 9’s fairway. "

"Great upkeep, tee pads, and interesting terrain. Only downside is there are some large gaps between holes and it takes forever to play. "

"Very tight, long holes, but they are cleaned up enough to where it's not too unfair. "

"Some tricky narrow holes, mostly in the trees. Better course for winter when there’s not much foliage. Great course though"

"Still muddy from rain. Difficult!"

"Be prepared to walk…A LOT. Fun but almost too difficult. Not for amateurs."

"Hard course, but well kept and maintained "

"Super technical and funstrating "

"Trees going right down the middle of fairways on half the holes, I can’t fathom why this course is rated high… "

"Clean up trees from the freeze please "

"Gorgeous course. The wooded hole shots are very difficult w more trees than your average course. "

"Tough course. Stay the fairway at all costs "

"Very difficult to get right if amateur "

"Super fun challenging course. "

"Great tee pads, nice holes. Tough course through lots of wooded areas. Lots of shade!"

"Fun holes, but hard to not give discs a nick or two from trees. Right now you HAVE to remember “leaves of 3”. You will likely need to wipe down discs after playing."

"Pretty difficult fairways, lots of poison ivy. Big forehands will do well here "

"Wildly difficult course not for beginners or intermediate players. "

"Great course. A massive forehand beamer cannon with Hyzer helps"

"Wow. What a course. Tough but really fun."

"If anyone finds a yellow buzzz ss, you can keep it "

"Nice course… just watch out for poison ivy."

"Nice pads, little confusing, not perfectly synced to UDisc."

"Great course. Very technical. "

"Incredible course. Challenging but really thoughtful lines."

"Awesome combination of distance and technical shots."

"fun course with some great elevation changes and a couple of holes that require some serious skill to par (or luck). Beautiful creek runs through, but not a major risk for losing discs. Well maintained, definitely will play again."

"Well balanced, challenging course. Beautiful park and creek bed. "

"Perfect tee boxes, great baskets, and trees pretty much everywhere. Requires a variety of shots, with a good mix of gettable birdies to being happy escaping with a double bogey. Beginners beware"

"Very fun course. Some of the back 9 are diabolically hard. Not for beginners!"

"Great course with fun lines, varied elevation and imaginative pin placement. A very technical course with water hazards and hillsides galore. "

"Awesome course! Large and technical holes Anyone loose a ring?? "

"Very technical after hole 4. Lots of mud today."

"Great place very challenging"

"Tough, technical, windy. Really fun and humbling course "

"Can get windy… 20+mph"

"Fun, pretty course! Very challenging "

"Dig it. Nice challenge, we’ll kept. "

"Great tee pads. Challenging tight layout after number four. Well marked. A bit of a long walk. "

"Course is well kept. Some trees need to be removed. "

"Well kept, hard course. Trees are everywhere and merciless. Tons of fun though."

"Tight and technical with a few opportunities to open up. A few holes leave too much to chance, but overall a really fun course. Worth checking out and great for shot placement practice."

"This course is awesome. Challenging and fun. "

"I get that some people are really good and can hit tight lines, but this place is a bit much. Wilco park is an example of somewhere hard and unforgiving, but there are lines to at least try to hit. I feel like I'm just throwing directly into trees here. Usually I can at least say I had fun even if I don't play well, but today was pretty rough."

"Woods"

"Hard "

"Well kept and well designed course. Hard, but not impossible. "

"I really enjoyed this course and almost felt like I wasn't in central Texas anymore. A good balance of open shots with a bit more technical wooded holes with interesting lines. Only downside is groups can be slow and cause a bit of a backup due to how technical some holes are."

"Mostly playable after the freeze but there are tons of downed trees and limbs. One teepad has an oak tree laying across it."

"Amazing difficulty with technical holes!"

"Really cool disc golf course. Very challenging, with reward holes. Lots of tight shots, and a few wide open ones. Fun to play with lots of different shots."

"Some holes were fun but several of the technical woods holes had very little to no gap to hit any sort of lines. Seemed very random instead of fair chances to hit lines. I may be biased when there were tight unnecessary OBs at the NADGT event which made it play even harder."

"Really tough course with tight fairways and danger everywhere. Very muddy with slick tee pads also didn’t help"

"Challenging park course, you get a taste of the open bombs and tightly wooded/shaped woods holes. Par 4s can be very difficult, new mulch is a nice touch although it needs to be spread on a few holes"

"Very difficult but such a fun and great course. "

"Newly put down mulch"

"Are they going to spread that mulch. Fun course tough for a lefty be mindful of creek on side of several holes. "

"Awesome course layout. A lot of very tight gaps. "

"Nice looking course but you will get covered in cob webs"

"Top tier course with plenty of cream opportunities "

"Pretty difficult "

"Don’t be fooled by the first 4, the final 14 holes are VERY technical. Great test."

"Great course, but Poison Ivy everywhere"

"Well-maintained, good technical, a few Mando‘s… Decently laid out only negative is a few have a hike between them other than that loved it."

"Difficult, but beautiful. "

"Must be able to hit your line"

"Great course. Could use a little tree trimming and there is a tree down on one of the back 9. "

"Muddy af. "

"Nice mix of open and wooded holes. Downgraded for 2 poke and pray holes on back 9 with no clear line"

"Very muddy after rain. Needs stairs on quite a few holes that have big drops. "

"Very fun course with places to air it out as well as tight, technical shots through the woods. "

"Pretty well kept, but won’t be back till I’m better. Extremely difficult for the weekend golfer."

"Super muddy and challenging. "

"Beautiful and challenging course. Several wicked par 4's on the back 9. "

"So many trees"

"Nice course "

"Too much uphills and downhills - possible future injuries. At your own risk. Easy to lose discs. The course is beautiful. "

"Fun front 9 followed by a tough back 9 lots of poison ivy and thick rough"

"Difficult but fun and interesting, long course walk though and some difficult up and down hills "

"Pretty tough and technical but a good one"

"Good course with some grip it and rip it holes and some technical challenges. "

"Tough, technical course. Lots of fun though!"

"Had so much fun playing this course. Only 4 stars because I stripped down and jumped in a 50 degree creek to get my disc. Worth. "

"Love the course. Difficult but rewarding. I hope the erosion issue along the creek gets sorted out. If it gets too bad it might effect play and/or starts having baskets pulled. Maybe a boyscout troop could adopt it. They do a lot of service projects and could do it yearly."

"Great course, good up keep. Make sure you bring your retriever though lol"

"This course gets alot of heat from people that are scared of woods golf. Challenging and fair one of my favorites in the Austin area so far!"

"Some down limbs. Still playable! "

"So technical that it would probably not be fun for you if you can’t throw perfectly straight every time. "

"Happy play, the reviews are right, hard but very fun! "

"The course was nice but this new(relatively?) layout was very tough. Lots of narrow alleys, lots of elevation change and close proximity to creeks. But fun. Just tough. Kind of a pro course. I shot more than +5, because I quit keeping score. Nice course but not for beginners "

"Amazing course great variety of shots "

"Awesome course! Really tests your mental game "

"A variety of holes. Clean with nice signage. One of my favorite courses!!! I am still new to disc golf and love the challenge. My boyfriend has played for years and we both enjoy it. The first few holes are long and open. The rest are partially shaded. I enjoy the hike and not having everything right on top of each other. "

"Needs some trail upkeep on the parts with more of a slope; at least rough steps - but this is a favorite course."

"Challenging course. It’s fun and will test you. If you’re a beginner maybe try somewhere else first "

"Great course, some really tough lines. Could use a clean up—lots of trash"

"This course makes you question whether you still love disc golf. I found the lines through the trees to be very unforgiving. "

"Good course. I just suck :("

"Very fun course, open at first then gets much more technical. Pretty muddy today (rained yesterday). The regulars were all very nice here!"

"Very big, very clean park. Starts off with a handful of open air out holes and then dives into fun but challenging woods holes. Be careful of the creek and the thorns but overall a fantastic course. P.S. not for beginners at all. Need to have decent control and distance "

"Nice concrete tees. Tight fairways after first four holes. Creeks weren’t a problem. Distances are too long and tight fairways on some par 4’s. Signage after baskets directing to next hole. Some steep sections to walk between tee and basket on a few fairways. Plenty of parking and course is mostly away from hiking paths. "

"Great course. Cleaned it up a lot. Feels a lot better to play at "

"Very challenging course, hole 9 is one of the hardest to par holes I’ve ever played. Lots of variety in the course, 5 mostly open holes, some tight and technical par 3’s in the woods and some longer in the woods par 4’s. I feel like this course is making me a better player because some holes it’s best to just lay up and go for par rather than go for gold (looking at you hole 5 and hole 9). Love that there is next to no overlap between holes and everything is spread out. Current favorite course!"

"Great challenging course. Not a good course if you’re horrible complainer or just suck in general."

"Very technical course difficult for beginners. Lots of tight wooded shots"

"Of the 50ish courses I’ve played, this is by far the most difficult. 2-3 holes are pretty unfair lines, but for the most part, there are tight but fair lines. 5-6 holes are open. The rest are extremely wooded with tight gaps immediately off the tee. If you can throw a disc, 200-300 feet dead straight, you’ll set yourself up well. "

"Best course within 100 miles!"

"Some areas could be mowed but overall a beautiful course! "

"A very challenging yet beautiful course. A bit muddy even a few days after rain. For whatever reason the trees kick discs harder than I've ever seen. For me, this course is as good as any north of Austin. "

"Really awesome course, so impressed with everything about it. Super tight wooded lines, every shot makes you think. Plays along a beautiful creek that looks like it’s almost fake its so pretty in some places. Something for everyone, even has a few open bomber park style holes. This is like Wilco on hard mode "

"Little wet and muddy"

"Nice course front 5 a little boring but enjoyed down by the creek. Started raining and still played. The tree cover keep me pretty dry. Pretty challenging. Will play again. Whole course under 2 hr. "

"Difficult track, punishing if you miss your lines"

"So stinking long! LOL. Pretty fun. Really tight lines, Lots of trees and under brush"

"Tough course but enjoyed the scenery. Be careful on hole 6 if you shank your drive left into the woods there is either large hive of wasps or something that stung my friend 3 times yesterday. "

"Great Course. Everything in good condition. Fun, and challenging. This is my main course."

" Nice park OB is pretty rough back nine is rougher than the front 9 pretty tough course unless you're Pro "

"Fun course with wide open holes to rip it, and then many technical holes with trees "

"I've always enjoyed these holes, definitely helps you practice a variety of different throws. Needs some trees cut to make proper lines, and hole 9 needs some work, but overall a fun challenging course "

"Good signage, smooth concrete tee boxes and top of the line Mach X Baskets. A good mix of ace runs and technical bombs, a little bit of elevation but mostly flat. Great course."

"Lots of down branches from the winter storm. Still playable, but dont expect to beat your PR. "

"The open fairways were nice . A few baskets I felt like a log splitter . Overall well maintained. Good difficulty."

"I wish they stuck to Houck's plan, lots of great holes and then some that dont really make sense. Still a good course overall."

"Good mix of open and tight technical holes. Most holes are between 250ft and 450ft with a couple of longer holes sprinkled in here and there. "

"Come with a low controlled fairway shot... unforgiving trees from holes 5-18."

"Overgrown"

"Well maintained. Gotta get your lines for sure. Technical fun course. Cart friendly except ta couple spots. Will be back to post again soon. "

"Conditions are great. Awesome teepads and signage, baskets are in good condition. Mostly narrow fairways with a lot of trees. Be prepared to nail trees."

"The wooded holes (5-18) are what make this course shine. Most fairways demand a technical shot-shape to get a birdie. Course is extremely well taken care of. Top notch teepads, baskets, and signage. "

"Professional level course. Phenomenal woods and elevation changes. Beware the creek on many holes"

"Pretty much perfect. Great challenging course, super beautiful, totally clean and well-kept. Good variation. HARD & PUNISHING THO!! Not for beginners."

"Beautifully designed wooded fairways. "

"A few trees need to be trimmed or cut down entirely to give fair lines in. Plays longer than it shows. Some lanes require things that discs don't do. Course layout is OK at best with some real missed opportunities to make some special holes. Often overly long walks to next tee. Well maintained with top tier baskets. "

"Very well-manicured, Love the diversity and flow of the course. "

"Great variety of holes "

"This course has everything, tight wooded tunnels and some big open fairways. Maintenance on the course is amazing and the shade is just wonderful to have "

"Poison ivy canhut if you get off the fairway. This course is championship level and is tremendous for anyone looking for a challenge."

"Excellent caliber course, with great use of distance and shaping fairways. Quite a beautiful stroll as well. "

"Tough course, lots of trees to play through and a few spots where water comes into play. Very fun overall though."

"A mix of good and bad, some open holes, some technical holes and a few very odd holes. Tee boxes and signage are great, 1-4 mostly open, 5-18 mostly wooded. Can be very muddy/unplayable after rain. 5*s for tees and signage, 3*s for course layout and obnoxious walks between holes."

"Great course very well done and maintained!"

"Beautiful park. Holes and paths to holes and pads well marked. Just enough turns, obstacles and elevations to make challenging and fun."

"You’ll use all of your discs here for sure. Very clean, great tees and a place to put your bags on. "

"Very wooded with a lot of elevation changes. Tricky hole placements on a few holes. River follows the course for the most part so water is in play on many shots. "

"Hard tech shots but overall amazing "

"Hard for me "

"Rough is very rough"

"So much better than the old layout. The old layout was bland and boring. Just long and wide open. This new layout requires more skill than just pure distance. "

"Challenging course,needs a little more love to beat in"

"Not for the faint of heart. If you are a beginner this is not going to be a very fun course for you. Advanced or pro players will love this course. "

"I was one of the 3 that built this course, and when I finally played the whole course I absolutely loved it. It's a challenging course but dammit it's fun Update. Lots of debris from Ice storm "

"Lots of trees"

"This course is a challenge. Lots of thorns. "

"World class course with technical lines and a couple open shots."

"Course is no joke. But it’s fun, very challenging with the trees. Lots of thorny bushes so don’t get lost in the bushes. Pro level course "

"Great course, needs some branches trimmed"

"New layout doesn’t feel polished yet. Not as well designed as original but feels like a decent spiritual successor. "

"It’s a tough course "

"Super technical but fun. First 4 holes are out in the open but after that head for the woods. Try and get birdies early then hang on for dear life. Some tee shots require you to hit a 10 ft (or even less) gap to pure it. Great design"

"Really fun course. It will be great when they get the tees marked. I'll definitely play this course a lot. "

"After they renovated the park there are not very many open shots left. They are tightly placed together and some are hazardous as players are throwing into each other players tee box’s. The wooded holes are super tight tunnels that requires technical skill. Lots of poison ivy too so beware. Oh and if you came out to play a 9 hole at lunch forget getting back to the parking lot quickly as there are no bridges you have to walk all the way back or all the way around. Rather disappointed in the new."

"Challenging. Long lines and no signage. "

"Still needs some work to be done, but awesome layout. "

"Good overall, but with time it’ll be damn sick"

"Clean it up a lil and I'll give it 5. Will be one of best in Austin in a few years."

"Great layout! Needs signs, more trash cans, and the rough is VERY rough. It will be a great course soon!"

"Great course design, still new and a rough but definitely need to play if you haven't. "

"The new layout is absolutely incredible. A few VERY difficult woods shots. It’s between this and Roy G for my favorite course in Austin area."

"Great new course in town that requires some skill. My new favorite local spot. "

"What a great new layout....left a lot of strokes out there but had a blast!!!"

"Great new course! Needs signage. Raw."

"If this is too long, you maybe too old "

"Wait for the updated course (currently under construction) "

"Skip this one. No baskets or any thing for the at least the first several holes. All tee signs gone. Some tee pads gone. Shitty design with some tees in the middle of a field. No one even bothered to update the description. Sucks for the whole family. "

"Tough course but decent design. Most holes are technical woods golf. Nothing really requires a big arm. "

"1k hole to test your arm on a part 5. Also a great place to lose a disc in the pond. Course has every kind of challenge. Nice variety "

"TRASH!!! Love the course but the Parks department is a joke and is horrible are maintaining the course. Tree limbs still EVERYWHERE IN THE MIDDLE of the fairways. They cut them down and just left them there. It’s been like this for weeks and it still looks like trash "

"Long! Lots of open holes for big arms. It’s an enormous park. It’s great if you have a family. Several play areas and a splash pad. Great for the entire family. "

"Holes poorly marked and don’t match the map in the app"

"Excellent redesign. Nice mix of a few old OSP bomber holes and some Waco esque woods holes. Course is demanding, but I don’t think it’s unfair. Every hole has a line but if you get off of it, yes you will probably have to get lucky"

"Wet and muddy"

"The new layout is really challenging, expertly designed, and a lot of fun to play. Still some left to do on the course, but it is going to be amazing when it’s finished. "

"New design is great"
