(2.240 Rating) (RE-Evaluated) A typical south Florida landscape with a very serviceable 9 holer.
- UPDATES - I felt the need to update this review without replay as significant changes had occurred that effected numerous parts of my prior review. My biggest complaint in my original review was holes (8) thru (16), which were generally openish holes with significant safety hazards and spacing issues. All of these holes have been thankfully axed. Old holes (17) and (18) have been relabeled to (8) and (9). The removed holes actually caused more harm than good, ratings wise, on my original review.
- TWO TEES - There are now two tees on each of the remaining 9 holes. The Blue pads are the longs and the Red pads are the shorts. This really expands the skill level set appeal compared to one tee courses. It also increases the play variety and also replayability for the locals.
- CHALLENGING - On paper, the Blue layout looks to be ideal for Intermediate level players. The holes average over 300 feet long from these pads. Holes like (2), (5) and (7) are going to test players mentally as water is lurking and waiting for discs to gobble up. The Red pads average around 250 feet long and look ideal for Rec and Novice level players.
- QUICK PLAY - I flew thru this course in under an hour on my first time and solo when it was an 18er. I can't imagine it taking a solo more than 30 minutes to play 9 here unless its loaded with groups.
- RAW BEAUTY - Way better than before as the ugly portion is gone. I went with 20 percentile originally and I've upped it to almost 50 percentile on my ledger now. The course plays around a pleasant looking lake and there is a lot of the typical south Florida tropical vegetation here. On the flipside, the course is surrounded by urban sprawl.

Limited potential.
- HOLE VARIETY - Although I think losing the 9 bad holes helped this course overall, the removal did slightly impact the variety. The removed holes had a lot of open length where some bombs could be launched. The remaining 9 is basically all moderately wooded with a constant tropical vibe to it. There are some nice water play elements, but like most Florida courses, very little elevation impact. No par 4s currently and no open or heavily wooded holes either imo. I'd say the hole variety is above average among niners, but below average when compared to all courses.
- SPACING - Better than before, but less than ideal. The worst spacing offenders have been removed and there are no longer city roads or baseball fields in play. The 3 hole stretch of (3) thru (5) parallel each other with not much buffer. Backyard fences come into play on a couple holes. Factoring out the lake area, there might be only 4 or 5 acres of dry land left over for the course.
- AMENITIES - It's hard for me to grade this aspect without seeing the current make-up. Losing 9 baskets is obviously an amenity loss. However, new DISCatcher baskets is a big plus. There were no benches at the tees went I played it and I have not read any indication that seating is available now. The tee signage is new but simple. I assume that restrooms are still present and that the shelter areas haven't been taken down.

It was sure nice to read on ElementZ's review that they killed off the ill-advised extra nine-hole loop that was strife with issues. I had noted in my original review that I thought this loop actually made the course worse overall. Perhaps the people in charge read my review and made the necessary changes...not. I originally scored the 18 holer a 1.879. With the fat trimming and other noted updates, I've decided to raise the score by well over ¼ point. I would now personally call this one a tweener 2.25 course in my books. Kind-of puts into perspective how bad the removed holes were.

This is one of the oldest courses in SW Florida and has seen a myriad of changes since its 1997 debut as a 9-holer, leaving the course very hard to navigate for a long time. Holes 1-8 and 17-18 generally have two sets of tees marked by poles with color coding and hole #. These are lightly wooded and feature water holes and are fun to play.

After hole 8 the course takes a nose dive. You have to head through the baseball fields to find holes 9-16 with zero navigation aids to help you get there. Most of these holes have no # on the tees or the baskets and can be difficult to find. I strongly urge first timers and non-regulars to get the map! These holes mostly throw over roads and sidewalks and crisscross back and forth with each other.

Dogs not allowed. Seems silly to me, though.

A fun round of golf can be had here, but I would recommend the nearby newer Estero course for a more modern dg experience (except for new/rec players as there is a lot of water on the Estero course).

18 hole course in a decent multi-purpose recreational center/athletic facility. Nice Innova baskets on part of the course with sufficient cement tee pads and nice painted wooden pilings driven into the ground with hole number and distance at each tee. Multiple pin locations at most holes (although I really didn't look closely to verify their existence). An abundance of trees and various other man made barriers and obstacles to challenge you. The course utilizes much of the available land, and water is present near several of the holes.

Terrible course flow. After throwing hole one, you're staring straight at hole 11 instead of 2. Tee off areas for holes 9 & 18 are parallel to each other, while tee 17 is directly behind tee 8 (I actually did a double take to make sure I wasn't seeing things- am I missing something here?). Baskets lining Pine Avenue are in horrible shape- rusty and battered, and there are no tee off locations on this side of the course. Some baskets have rudimentary gold magnets with hand cut numbers on them, adding to the confusion. The water on the course is typical Florida scunge- hardly a thing of beauty.

I do not consider myself a stupid individual, but this place left me totally bewildered. I can only surmise that BSRC is under course renovation- what else could explain the schizophrenic layout of this place? Half of it looks OK with good tees, baskets and signs while the other side of the course is a complete disaster with rusty baskets, no markings and no true tee off areas. There is literally a row of about four baskets lining Pine Avenue. Maybe if I'd played with a local, it would have helped, but I only wound up frustrated. After reading the reviews and playing the sub par Bay Oaks course, I expected a lot better. I would also upgrade the informational board located at the beginning of the course and put a real solid directional map on it.

Upkept very well
Staff very friendly
Easy to navigate
Most holes are well designed

Only 9 holes (multiple tees for 18)
To much water, fences, etc (to many places to lose discs)
1 of the holes (2 if playing 18) involve a very long shot over deep water.
Signage on each hole is not very detailed, hard to follow

I went to Marco Island for Spring Break and this is the nearest course I could find. Maybe I am spoiled by Michigans courses! But its definitly a solid course and worth playing

Seems to be one of the better courses in the Fort Myers area. They came up with a good course design for the limited amount of space available. It was a great idea to place two different tees for each pin, giving the illusion of 18 separate holes.

Unfortunately, no maps available. It's not a very confusing course at all, but we did spend some time looking around, and a simple map is just nice to have. Also, the signing is somewhat poor. Not terrible, but it could have been more helpful.

The lake really DID NOT come in to play for us, I'm right handed and my friend is left handed so that made no difference. You just need to exercise some control, and yes - perhaps a BIT of restraint. It was nice that the rec center had a small selection of discs for sale, nothing expansive though. You can't go all out on this course by any means, but it was fun. We both had a good time. Oh, and ZERO lost discs, too.

Very good use of a very small piece of property. Attractive and well-maintained. The holes have good variety and challenge. Most of the holes are on the tighter side and favor accurate golfers that can shape shots well. Friendly locals.

It is possible to lose plastic in the schule and water in a couple places.

I understand that this course is now 18 holes. I have not played the new holes. This review applies to the original layout.

Don't be a dirty discer. Leave the course cleaner than you found it!
