About this course
Mary Moore Searight is Austin's crown jewel of wooded disc golf. Eighteen holes carved through dense cedar and oak corridor, where every shot demands a disciplined line and the slightest miss kicks into unforgiving rough. The front nine plays shorter and friendlier; the back nine tightens the screws with tunnel shots that'll test your accuracy more than your arm.
Maintained year-round by the Austin Disc Golf Club, the course hosts a PDGA B-tier each spring and weekly tags leagues the rest of the season. First-timers are welcome on the short tees, but bring a midrange you trust and leave the distance driver in the bag until you've read the gaps.
After rain, hole 12 turns into a creek-side adventure. Wear shoes you don't mind getting muddy and carry extra plastic.

Best wooded course in Texas, hands down. The back nine at golden hour through the cedars is pure disc golf. Bring your accuracy game — distance won't save you here.
Hole 10, the Cedar Chute, is worth the trip on its own. Lost two discs in the rough but had the best round of my life. Club members were super welcoming to a first-time visitor.
Course is immaculate and the layout is brilliant. Knocked a star because hole 12 gets genuinely swampy after rain. Otherwise a bucket-list track.
