Pros:
- Never crowded; No waiting at 1 to start and rarely get held up by a group in front of you.
- Good variety of holes: open, tight, long, short, and 3 holes (sometimes 5) with water in play.

Pros:
- Never crowded; No waiting at 1 to start and rarely get held up by a group in front of you.
- Good variety of holes: open, tight, long, short, and 3 holes (sometimes 5) with water in play.
- Nice concrete tee pads from the whites.
- New Mach 7 baskets (as of October 2019)
- High quality tee signs.
- Has basic amenities: restrooms, water fountains, trash cans (Beginning of 1; End of 1; Beginning of 4; End of 5; End of 14).
- Generally very well maintained.
- Alcoholic beverages, used responsibly, are allowed. However, no glass bottles.
- Personal golf carts that are registered with the HOA are allowed on the course.
- Thick brush creates some great risk reward opportunities. Landing deep in the brush can penalize you severely.
Cons:
- Like most Houston courses, very little elevation.
- Course was designed with multiple tee pads, but the reds and blues have brick markers only and can be difficult to find for a first time player.
- Course favors RHBH throwers.
- Like many Houston courses, it was built on flood plain land. There are many holes that are swampy after a rain (especially 4&5) and at times, the mosquitoes can be unbearable.
- Poison ivy is on almost every single hole.
Other Thoughts: This course has a unique "private" nature. Oak Meadow Park, which includes the Oak Meadow Disc Golf Course, is owned and operated by the Bridgeland Home Owners Association (HOA). The owner/operator relationship is very similar to the neighborhood pools that are owned by HOA's in Texas. The developer purchased the land, built the park & course and deeded the land to the HOA. Thus, the cost of the land & course was built in to each homeowner's lot price. The HOA dues pay for the maintenance. Similar to most HOA neighborhood pools, access is restricted to residents of the neighborhood. Access to the park is monitored by the HOA. During 2021, the HOA installed a gate at the entrance to Oak Meadow Park. Residents will need to bring their pool access fob to open the gate.
It can be difficult to navigate your first time out. There are maps, and scorecards with maps available for download on DGCR.
Review updates (6/26/2012):
- The Summer 2011 drought was hard on Oak Meadow Park. Many trees were lost. Several of the holes have opened up from the original design.
- There are probably over 100 trees that are dead, but have not fallen yet. After a wind storm, the dead branches fall. Maintenance on removal of the dead branches can be slow at times.
- Painted brick markers for the reds and blues have been added.
- New signs have been installled.
- Hole number 9's basket has been replaced.
Review updates (8/5/2015):
- The trees that were effected during the summer of 2011 continue to fall resulting in dead trees in the fairway at random times, opening of certain lines, and at other times the fallen trees pushing the brush line further into the fairway.
- Some of the bricks marking the red and blue tees have had grass grown over them and are difficult to impossible to locate.
- The HOA has increased the hours that the park is being monitored. Advise requesting a resident guide before playing.
Review updates (11/7/2019):
- Mach 7 Baskets! The Mach 2 baskets were replaced with brand new Mach 7 baskets. The baskets have long been one of the biggest Cons of this course. With the installation of the Mach 7 baskets, I have upgraded my rating from a 4.0 to a 4.5.
- Registered golf carts are now approved on the course. Residents may register their personal golf carts to be allowed on the course. A nominal annual fee of $25 is required.
- A low water crossing was installed on hole 6. The crossing supports golf carts crossing when the creek has low levels of water.
Review updates (5/10/22):
- The HOA has installed a gate at the entrance of Oak Meadow Park. Residents will need to bring their pool access fob to open the gate.
- Hole 6's basket has been elevated to add another challenge to this par 4 hole.

This course is in great shape and if you had a check list it would seem as though it has everything to make it an A+ course. When you break it down though it falls short, Concrete tee pads, but the wide area is at the back. Signage, that I didn't feel really represented the holes. It has long and shorter holes but other than the ones by the water are almost all the same. The course requires very little shot variation. If it wasn't for the extremely thick bushy rough that eats disc, you could play it with a driver or midrange and a putter.
