• Beautiful Recreation Park; very clean and well taken care of
• Fairways: Mixed Strategic Doglegs, Open air shots, and one water carry
• Teepads:a wooded 2x4 buried on its side/painted on sidewalk/Natural tee that you'll have to guesstimate using the map
• Maps available at the clubhouse near 1 tee, next to the front door.
• Great for beginners, rec players, and those vacationing on Ft Myers Beach
• Open field shots, Dog legs, shot shaping on various lines, and turn over shots.
• Can be played as a nine hole course during the times when half the park is closed.
• Other Activities available at the park as well. Playground, Soccer, Basketball, Baseball, Kayak rentals.

• Subject to Park goer interactions
• Plays to close to other activities, a playground, a soccer field and a fenced off area of the neighboring school.
• Some tees aren't there . You'll have to make your own teepad.
• If other activities are going on, you may have to make your own teepad
• 2/3rds of the course share a basket
• Plays across other activities in the park (Throws across a basketball court)
• You'll have to throw around parked cars
• There is a funky sulfer smell emanating from the marsh in the woods.
• If school is in session, most of the back 9 (8-16) section will be locked down and off limits. Leaving 17 & 18 to cap off a 9 hole course during the closed times.

If you happen to be staying in or near Ft Myers Beach, then it's going to be a pleasant course to play. I didn't hate it, as a matter of fact, I found myself having a good time here. Bay Oaks falls into the "It is what it is" category. It's not easily accessed if you are traveling down I-75. On top of that, timing is everything. It's only open when school is out, and if tourist season is in full swing, then expect a lot of traffic congestion on the way to the park. We played here the day before a Hurricane in the off season, so the town was empty, but the park was still pretty active. Imagine what it's like on a normal day.

I did have fun here, but there was way too much park interaction to play around. I don't look favorably about throwing near a playground, and you play near one twice. Also, shot shaping through a parking lot of vans and employee cars is more than nerve racking. Is it worth the drive? Nope! It is a very long drive to play here, and that doesn't include the beach traffic. This course is for the person that lives or is staying in Ft Myers Beach. If you are looking to road trip here so you can add it to your "Played List", then pay attention to the times when will be playing here. If it's too busy, then it may not be worth the drive and/or the frustration.

The first thing I want to say is how to find the course, for those reading on their phone, or looking around for this course. You have to park by the pool and walk between the baseball courses to the rec-center. You cannot drive to the rec center (at least that is what the pool staff told me). Hole 1 will be on your left as you walk up to the rec center doors.

Really nice to have disc golf this close to the beach. The only course closer to the beach I have ever played is Tocobaga, which used to have a hole right on the edge of the Gulf. This course is easy to play and hard to lose a disc on. It is short with few obstacles to keep you from getting birdies on most of the holes.

There were enough looks and obstacles to keep things somewhat interesting. 18 is the signature hole, throwing over a small pond to a guarded pin.

It is unnerving to have to throw over all kinds of man-made obstacles, next to baseball fields and tennis courts with people on them, over vehicles, etc. I made the mistake of not getting a map. Make sure you get a map! Very frustrating...but I wouldn't lower my rating of this course due to my own mistake.

The course needs concrete tees. At a minimum it needs signs on every tee area to make them easier to spot, even if they just printed some off. Some were missing. Too many obstacles you don't want to hit that it becomes distracting. I don't like throwing over parked vehicles and near by-standards.

It would have probably been better to make this course a high quality 9 hole course with some challenge and less dangerous obstacles instead of squeezing in 18 re-using pins.

-It can be fun if empty and playable
-Marked out, map online, some cement tees used
-Pretty drive getting to it
Has some decent shot variety and difficulty

-Dangerous: if anyone is in the park, like the kids who go to the school that is in play by one basket, then you must skip holes or risk hurting someone.
-Plays too close to parked cars, fence, building, tennis courts and playground.
