Bill Allen Disc Golf — Attraction in The Colony

I absolutely love this course, the holes are challenging enough as a beginner and not incredibly frustrating like courses like UTD can be. I have only lost 3-4 discs there so far in the 8-9 times I've gone and it was more from negligence on my part, not the course difficulty. The creeks are woven masterfully in a few of the initial holes, with one large pond to drive over on tee 7. 10-14 have us throwing around trees in a nice shaded wooded area which is a godsend during the Texas summers.

Not smoking weed in the bushes or lurking about like the homeless at BBO.

This is a really cool and challenging course with something for everyone. Can tend to be a little muddy after heavy rain and the back nine will have substantial puddles (they're big and murky, I've lost a disc in one before).. so keep that in mind. Also, I've heard of parasites in the pond you shoot over on hole 6 - so of you toss a disc in there I would...
