Another Anal Disc Golfer 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 29, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

There is quite a variety to shots required, scoring requires a bit of skill, and the designer has not been afraid to offer some very unique holes.

There are some very pretty looks, the breeze is frequently blowing and it can generally be an enjoyable place to play disc golf once you've been oriented to the layout if you don't mind sending up spotters at certain points.

Cons:

Contrary to what the previous two reviewers have said, the signage is poor. Without a guide you will spend a lot of time looking for holes and walking up to find baskets before throwing.

Much of the course looks like a seven year old kid that's never had a haircut and rarely bathes.

The tee pads are inferior.

This is a reasonably good piece of land for a disc golf course, but it's potential is far from being reached.

Other Thoughts:

If you were shipwrecked on a deserted island that had this disc golf course, you'd certainly be over-the-moon for its existence.

I've hesitated to review this course due to the fact that each of the five times I've played it, it had been re-designed. In light, however, of the previous two reviews, I felt obligated to speak up for the good of the traveling disc golfer.

If you're in South Florida certainly play Tradewinds (I can't speak for Easterlin) and Indian Hammocks. Unless you're hell-bent on being the first to play 2000 courses, skip this fiasco and go to South Beach and watch beautiful people all day long.

Remember: Don't be a dirty disc golfer. If you pack it in, pack it out!

Could have been way better! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 25, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Plenty of land. A couple of nice lakes. Some challenging holes.

Cons:

Too much land to keep the course along the pond for so many holes. It had a lot of litter. It had some rubber mats as tee pads. I couldn't find hole 13. There wasn't a main sign. There were vehicles parked in the middle of the fairway. I don't know what was up with hole #1's basket. It was raised about 8 feet up in the air. I have never seen that before. They need better signs, and more off them.

Other Thoughts:

With all that land there, it has potential of being a very nice course. I would love to see the place cleaned up, also put in better signs and concrete tee pads.
