Awesome course ! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 15, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great signs at all the tees. Beautiful park with well maintained lawn. Trash cans were empty. Long holes and short holes. Some water at this visit but didn't seem to cause a problem for us. Except hole 4 about 15' past the basket there is a creek. There is public restrooms with showers. Big plus for us, we were traveling back to Miami.

Cons:

Mosquitos so bring some repellent.

Hot Summer day nice breezes 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 12, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice mix of short and long holes. Some ace runs but most short holes have trees blocking the baskets. Some tight fairways on the long holes which makes an errant shot add a stroke or two.
Well marked signs and each basket has a flag and number. Ony had a couple of misplays due to not scoping out the correct pin.

Cons:

Could be wet in high rain season. A few holes play back on each other so you need to be mindful of others on nearby fairways.

Other Thoughts:

Lost my putter in the creek on hole 4 just passed the pin on this challenging hole. Only around 8' after the pin.

Mixed Bag 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 22, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great signs, beautiful park, and the elements of wind from mother nature and aircraft (vapor trails can wreck havoc on 17/18. Creative basket placements make approach shots during grip and rip holes top notch.

Cons:

Like a lot of courses I just don't get the fascination with having holes completely submerged in the woods with trees everywhere. Makes luck and bad luck a major player.

Other Thoughts:

This is a true disc course that makes you think about every type of shot and was well laid out.

Great Course. Sport heading in this direction 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 10, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

It is a great course that is quiet. There is one bike path/jogging trail that goes through it but is never really busy. There are some long holes so it is a break away from traditional par 54 courses. Nice Innova baskets, big cement tee pads, and recently installed tee signs which in my opinion are some of the best signs you can use on a course. I have only really played during Fall and Winter and it has stayed fairly dry other than dew in the morning and casual water on 1, 17, and 18 after a rain.

Cons:

Holes are a little bit cramped in some areas. Lots of fairway overlapping that would make it hard for tournaments in the future. Mosquito's have been out at sunrise in the winter months so be sure to have bug spray come summertime. There is not enough benches for sitting, plus no water fountains or bathrooms on the course. You would have to go to the other end of the parking lot near the bay for that.

Other Thoughts:

This is still a new course and still getting "beat in" so game play will only get better. I love it because it's 10 minutes from work and I get a round in before I clock in. I hope to see more courses like this pop up soon.

Scenic and gorgeous right by the Bay! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Dec 23, 2021 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

UPDATE (12/27/2021) - I first played this course seven years ago, and since, I've moved to the area so it's become one of my go-to courses. Signage has been installed and the course is maintained very, very well.

One pro that I've come to appreciate is the wide-open, long bombs on 16-17-18. The finish to 17 is interesting enough with the trees that it's definitely not boring.

There are minimal lost disc opportunities here, with the exception of the massive dogleg around the huge fence on 8. You can throw from the am pad to get around this pretty easily, though. There's water lurking behind a few of the baskets but you'd really have to overshoot to be in danger. Original review follows:
________________________

Lots of very fun, long shots to keep you interested. I could see where the design was going with each shot and really enjoyed it.

The park is just gorgeous. Most of the woods are palm trees, there's views of the bay, and the throws here are fun and scenic for the most part.

Baskets are in great condition, obviously, since they are new. They are numbered which is absolutely invaluable. Tee pads are new, nice, and grippy.

I found the design lots of fun and it never left me bored. Good shot variety kept it interesting for me most of the time. I loved the use of the creek behind 4 and the massive left dogleg on 8 - great job!

To be honest, I didn't find navigation here to be all THAT cumbersome. Sure, it was harder than it should have been, but the flow of the course was such that you generally could see the next tee pad from the preceding basket. To give you an idea, I spent about 1/4th as much time being lost here as I did at Tocobaga over in St. Pete. Maybe I just got lucky, but I wouldn't let the lack of signage keep you from playing here.

This park is absolutely beautiful and even has a beach if you're interested. Bathrooms and trash facilities were readily accessible at the parking area. There was sufficient parking as well when I was there and there were no other disc golfers, however it was also 12:00 PM on a workday.

The challenges present walk the line between fun and frustrating really well, and almost always end up on fun. Most of the frustrations here I feel can be ironed out and aren't a factor of the course design.

There aren't benches in the traditional sense of being directly next to the tees. However, there are plenty of areas on the course you can have a seat. Since it wasn't busy, this is something I could have done had I wanted to.

The course appeared pretty well maintained when i was there to be honest. As a full disclaimer, I was here in November so the bugs, water, and the like weren't anywhere near as bad as they can be in Florida in Summer.

Cons:

UPDATE (12/27/2021) - Again, the below review is from seven years ago. The signage has been installed and is in great shape, significantly alleviating my biggest gripe. However, as I suspected, this course can become almost unplayable in summer due to the standing water issues, and the bugs it attracts.

One thing I should've mentioned last time is that 1, 16, 17, and 18 all play very close to each other and basically throw back-and-forth across a massive grassy field (which is also the source of the water retention issues at this course). While I still like these holes overall, it's very easy to throw into the other fairways. Original review follows:
__________________________

Already been harped on, but there is ZERO signage here. I know I said navigation wasn't impossible, but it takes a very conscious effort without the aid of a map or signs! Bakset 18 is visible from the road, but there really isn't any parking close by and no indication where to go for hole 1. Be prepared to keep your head on a swivel and pay lots of attention to finish out a round here. I had to keep good mental notes of what basket was numbered which for future reference. The photos someone very kindly posted here were invaluable as well, thanks!

You are playing right beneath Tampa International Airport's southern approach. You can almost read the call signs of the airplanes; it wasn't horrible and really not much worse than road noise, but just be prepared!

You're also right by a rather large office park, and I played right around lunch, so I saw lots of people in khakis and ID badges meandering through the park and eating lunch. Very nice folks but might delay your throws a bit.

The thick woods are almost all palm trees, which I've learned are a bear to thread discs through. Some variation would be helpful to the course I think.

Other Thoughts:

UPDATE (12/27/2021) - The addition of signs really helped this course out a lot. If the drainage were better in summer and there were just a tiny bit more variety in terms of vegetation and elevation, this would be a solid 4.5. As it stands, it's easily a 4 and is a great park to play. I find myself coming back here more than almost every other course in the area, so you know it must be darn fun. Original review follows:
___________________

This course has monster potential and could be an amazing weekend destination. Put up some signs and navigational aids, and you have a gorgeous pro-style course that even the non-pros among us such as myself can enjoy.

While there were no bugs, no standing water, and no overgrowth when I was here, I also played in November. I saw several areas that could get bogged down quick if it was the rainy season.

This course is truly a 3.75 to me. Throw in some signs and it's a solid 4. However, I feel even without, it's still a blast to play and I really enjoyed my round here a lot. The signs would not have really increased my enjoyment of the course, and the lack of them did not decrease my enjoyment measurably. However, this is only my opinion, and you may feel totally differently -- and that's okay! I rate on the enjoyment and the quality of course design, and I found both of them to be good here personally. As a disclaimer, I plan to play again in summer and my rating may change as a result. Happy discing.

Big arm of love 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 6, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

set right on Tampa Bay near the airport, some very long holes and some mid length and some short holes, a very good mix of shots needed. This course can be open and can be quite technical, I heard Ken Climo designed this course so be prepared for a challenge (multiple multiple world champ what do you expect) the first time I played this course it was pretty much dry the next time there was knee deep water on 1, 17, 17 and 18.

Cons:

except for the water issue and the lack of signage on each hole not to many to speak of

Other Thoughts:

play it when there has not been a lot of rain or you will be wet. Bring your Icy Hot you will need it after you huck this long monster (thanks Ken) When we played there bugs were incredible a couple of mosquitoes tried to pick up one of my discs and fly away with it. they were horrible bring your DEET. the fire ants were also pretty terrible other than that it is a super course that I will play over and over

Great new course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 20, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

I like courses that require a big arm and this one makes you bring it. Huge hyper and anhyzer bombs to be had here. Tee pads were perfect length and baskets are pristine. A wonderful, beautiful course in a nice park.

Cons:

Not much to say that hasn't already been said. No hole signs or next tee directional signs. Few trash cans. A few benches have been put it which is nice and the killer bees are gone. Grass needs to be mowed a little, but other than that it was a great course. Tons of fun.

Other Thoughts:

Super fun. Big long shots. Plenty of Palm trees to thread between which always is a nice challenge.
