I arrived at 7 am and must have driven into the wrong gate. I could find no evidence of a disc course. I finally found someone to ask who directed me to those woods on that island. I ran into a locked gate, paid my $7 parking and walked through the locked gate. There I found a small hand made sign saying disc golf.

I gotta say I was totally underwhelmed by the first seven holes. Signs were incorrectly numbered, holes didn't match up, paths leading to nowhere, signs were lying down with graffiti. Just when I would think I was on the right track, I was thrown another curve. I was not impressed.

After I finished # 3 or # 7 ? I walked out hunting for # 8 and a friendly local was happened by. He pointed me to # 8 and the rest of the course and informed me that had I parked over there, it was free parking (like Monopoly). He also explained that the recent hurricane had badly damaged the wooded area containing holes 1-7.

From this point on, I am liking this course. It flowed well, had a lot of pretty (and always treacherous) basket positions set just feet from the lake's shores. It was a gorgeous late March Florida morning and the baskets set in front of the lake's shimmering were stunning. I especially liked # 8 with it's tree-lined fairway and the sun drenched basket, # 9 with another basket shimmering in the morning sunlight and # 10 which is either 240' or 270' and has you throwing over the small inlet to a basket just a few feet past the water. The information sheet states that discs are easily retrievable while the signs here state no swimming to retrieve discs.

I really disliked holes 1 to 7. I found this part confusing, not real attractive, with beat up tee pads, some signs lying down with graffiti. It didn't flow very well and I was never sure whether I was one the right track or not.

Lots and lots of places to splash your plastic. Playing this course seriously would take the guts of a burglar and total control of your discs. I have neither of these and was therefore severely handicapped.

There are some very pretty holes here from 8-18 along with two water carries. There's kind of a natural flow from 8 onwards. This is an interesting course to rate. After the first 7, I was thinking about a 1.0. The final 11 rate about a 3.0. I am not math proficient to figure out 7/18 is a 1.0 and 11/18 is a 3.0? So I'll go with a 2.5 which might be a little on the generous side.

Good distance on a few holes. I enjoyed some of the holes with more technical needs too. Water comes in to play on a bunch (RIP Cheetah...oldest disc in my bag...) The mound-top basket and the stump basket are sweet.

Hard to tell where you are going. Tee pads are terrible. Course is not in great shape all around.

I was in Miami for work and was able to take some time to play. It was exactly what I was hoping for. Any decent player should never do worse than par here.

"This information is out of date I am told the course has updated signage and is now navigable, that should increase the course rating."

Just read other thoughts.

Navigation help: When you enter park at the intersection of E 4th Ave and E 65th st., ask the booth people. They didn't know when I was there. So, drive straight and loop for about 2-3 minutes around the lake on your left. Eventually, you see two red shipping containers on a wood platform by another lake on the right, and a trailer building on the left, this just past a string of fossil rocks. #1 is in woods on right along road up from there.
#5- after #4, walk down path to right, then left. Tee is on a small hill in edge of woods, throws towards the lake, basket 20' from water behind a pine tree.
#8- after #7, continue straight and walk toward park road up on hill. White thing by tree marks the tee, and it shoots down toward water between trees.
#10- just uphill toward park road from #9 basket.
#14- the BASKET is in the woods, over 400' from the tee, near E 4th Ave, up on a rock.
#16- cross bridge after #15, go left along lake shore, to see a sign in a tree, shoots over water back toward #11's tee.

I could not find #17's tee or the entire 18th hole. Good luck! bring this with you!
