Brock Park Disc Golf Course

Brock Park has one of the more unusual histories in Houston disc golf. The City of Houston acquired the land in 1957 and it later became an 18-hole municipal golf course, which eventually closed. Landscape architects Clark Condon master-planned the conversion — disc golf, a playground, a cross-country course, a cyclo-cross track, clubhouse renovations and a restored nine-hole golf course — and the Houston Parks and Recreation Department reopened the roughly 354-acre site as Brock Adventure Park on May 6, 2023, calling it the first park of its kind in the city. The redevelopment was funded in part by a $1 million grant from Texas Parks and Wildlife alongside the department's capital improvement fund, and the park sits about 20 minutes from downtown.

The disc golf course runs 18 holes over roughly 6,500 feet on that old golf footprint, so expect flat ground — the site sits around 40 feet of elevation with no meaningful relief — and wide, mostly open grassland fairways where wind matters more than trees do. It's free and public, with parking, restrooms, picnic areas, trails and a playground, and the grounds are shared with the ropes course, Ninja Warrior course and kayak/canoe launch that give the park its name. The site borders Halls and Greens bayous, and managing floodplain impact was a central concern in the redesign, so conditions after heavy rain are worth checking before you drive out.
