“We are extremely excited to have a firm of the caliber of Houck Design create a disc golf course for the Met Center development, as well as to be the first business park in the world with a disc golf course as an amenity. Hopefully we will be trendsetters that will bring a higher level of coolness to business parks everywhere.”
Howard Yancy, President of Zydeco Development
“I hear great things from all that play at Steeplechase Park. If the need and want for another course comes in, John Houck will be the only one to design and plan the course.”
Kerry B. Urbanowicz - Director
City of Kyle Parks & Recreation
"The things I enjoy most about Houck's courses are the variety, use of land, and "risk vs. reward" factor. I've played 9 of his courses, and I don't recall being able to throw the same shot over and over again on any of them (with any level of success), which is one of the main things that keeps me going back again and again."

When it comes to spending tax payer dollars there is an obligation to do the best you can for those citizens. I've been involved with the installation of five disc golf courses over the last 25 years, and I've learned that 'you definitely get what you pay for.' I have always been very happy with the work of John Houck and his company. At this point, I wouldn't even consider using anyone else to design a new course.

While working on the construction of the City of Bee Cave Central Park project and having disc golf course designed by a Park designer, you would think fine tuning wasn't even necessary. But we learned from experience that there's a big difference between a park planner and a professional who specializes in disc golf course design.
John Houck's experience, professionalism, and motivation certainly contributed to a much safer course, and the way he incorporated the hills and creek banks made it just phenomenal. It just blew my mind.
In the end, if think you might save money by designing it yourself, think twice -- you will most probably end up spending more or settling for a mediocre course. We wouldn't hesitate to point any parks department towards www.HouckDesign.com and John Houck.
