Quick Play: The holes are fairly short, and closely-spaced together, so it doesn't take long to play a round here. We had a group of five and it took under two hours.

Mix of Holes: The front 9 is largely open, with some technical elements mixed in. The back 11 is largely technical, with one open hole to finish by the parking lot.

Ace Runs: They are possible here, even if the trees don't seem to allow any gaps. I actually got my first ever ace here on Old Hole 18 (new hole 19).

Shaded: Most of the course (but especially the back half) has adequate shade, which is really nice when dealing with the hot Florida sun. We played in the middle of the day and it wasn't bad.

Cart/Walking Friendly: It's flat and grassy/sandy. Carts are a breeze. Walking is a breeze. Just don't trip on roots and watch out for animals.

Wildlife: There are plenty of iguanas and birds in the park that don't affect play but did make for an experience I don't typically get in Tennessee.

Wildlife: Even though I just mentioned the iguanas and birds in a positive light, I do want to mention the spiders in a negative light. THEY. ARE. HUGE. When walking around, be aware of where the spider webs are (typically above head-height, but still). I don't know if they are poisonous, but I also don't want to find out.

No Distance: There really isn't anything longer than 300' here. They don't really have much space for long holes. Some holes get down below 150' even.

No Elevation: It's Florida. If you want hills, you're in the wrong state.

Navigation: It is typically good, but it can be a little tricky at times, especially with the newly added holes (now 12 and 20). Some holes are pretty close to each other, so checking out the number on the basket is critical (15 and 19).

Baskets Near Fences: There are several cases where a basket is near a fence that has a "do not climb" sign on it (10, 13, 17, 18). Just be aware of the barriers before throwing something over the fence and having to retrieve it.

Water: I'm not a huge fan of water to begin with (I don't like losing discs), but when alligators are involved, I don't mess with it. We skipped a couple holes (1, 4, 5) to make sure the lake didn't come into play. It's probably not an issue for more advanced players, but we had some beginners and didn't want to risk losing a disc in the lake.

I like this course. We vacation in Ft. Lauderdale almost every year so I get to play it every year or two. It's a fun little course. Some of the cons I listed are probably not an issue to anyone local, but I wanted to give an out-of-town perspective in case anyone else is looking to make a stop during vacation.

This plays as a recreational level with lots of Ace runs throughout. You'll be treated to a plethora of 150' to 250' holes, all of which are pretty tight and technical. What they all have in common is the enjoyment factor. I enjoyed all of them and would love to be able to play here often.

At the start is a kiosk complete with course map. You probably won't be needing it as the navigation is mostly instinctive. There' s a practice basket here. The baskets are Discraft models with a orange # on top. The pads are good sized concrete and the tee signs are set high and come with the clever little bag holder and the next tee indicator. It's hardly needed on this course.

# 1 is a simple little recreational hole, 215', that somewhat carries over the lake twice. Your initial water carry is probably a 100' and then you can easily avoid the second water carry. # 4 is another water shot, only 195', but you will probably hyser out over the water. If I remember correctly, there were some plants that could knock your disc down and into the drink. There are a couple of white poles for retrieving water logged discs. The water could come into play on both 5, 6 and 7 although they can all be avoided. But players have been known to grip lock their throw once in a while. The back nine is basically a hyser Ace-fest through the jungle. Enjoy those Ace runs.

It's a recreational course and won't provide any challenge for most experienced players. But us crummy, old players will love it to death.

Good chance out could splash a disc here.

Less of a chance of losing one in the jungle.

There are probably two holes where you could hyser one over the fence. There are signs telling you not to climb the fence and there is one place where players have obviously climbed the fence.

This is like a miniature version of prototypical Florida jungle combined with water course. I doubt that there are many players down hereabouts who haven't had the opportunity to play this type of course. Myself, I like them although I end up totally and completely wimping out on the water holes. I'm traveling and can't afford the hassle of replacing a disc.

Good signage to indicate next tee placement. Well kept (except hole 17 needed to be mowed). The course will test your accuracy as you transition into the back nine. Nicely poured concrete pads.

Not a very long course. You will use a lot of your mid range discs as well as your putters.

This slightly different Broward County course offers a more technical kind of experience. One set of tees and two pin placements on most holes (short and shorter) make the tech shots a little more forgiving if you get a bad tree bounce. The fun comes into play near the end of the course when the fairways get overrun with trees creating some fun pinball style bounces that could be beneficial and even lead to an ace! The shade is also nice. This is a good summer course for Florida.

The course is a little tight and set in a heavily used park. Some of the fairways are a little close to each other.

Hole 1 was a double water carry with trees in your face, forcing a low throw or some other kind of local route that I couldn't see. Rough starting hole! Might want to bring some floating discs.

Navigation may be a little tricky for 1st timers. I recommend getting a map, or better yet, playing a round with some of the friendly locals.

Another solid Broward County course that pairs well with the Tradewinds course for a fun day of DGing.

Unless you have telekinesis, your discs will hit trees here. Bring your sturdy discs to this course!

Fun course with cool tropical plants and trees.

Iguanas running all over the place.

Scenic and not far from the beach or city stuff if that's your thing.

Some uninspired holes that play back and forth across a field and a few that play along a fence line.

Looks like it would be crowded on a weekend with other park users.

I stayed at the camp ground in my rv and played two rounds. Overall an entertaining course and there is camping with full hookups. I'd say it's worth checking out if you are in the area.

- Wooded course in south Florida!
- Tight lines off the tee; the course demands percision accuracy.
- Good mix of both hyser and anhyser lines.
- Water adds a good (but not impossible) challenge for 4 holes and then the rest are wooded.
- Plastic poles with bolt at each water hole allow for assisted disc retrieval.
- Good map at the start; signs, tee pads, and pins all in good condition.
- Clean and very well maintained with bathrooms and trash cans.
- Friendly/helpful locals!

- Course not ideal for beginners because of the narrow fairways and tight wooded lines.
- The course is short; none of these holes will test your arm (for distance).
- Close fence line on a couple holes presents a problem; the fence along the 17th hole is also barbed.
- Possibility to throw near campsites and walkers.

Bottom line: It is a wooded course in SOFLO so you got to check it out. Hole 18 was my favorite because of the beautiful trees and incredibly tight fairway. This is a great course to work on the timing of your release.

This is a good technical course, which compliments Tradewinds since it is a big open course only 15 minutes away. Playing both Easterlin and Tradewinds in the same day made for a great day of DG!!! I will be back to Easterlin soon.

Clean
Well maintained
Bathrooms and water fountain available.
Good mix of left and right shots
benches at each tee pad
Trash Bins everywhere
Concrete pads
lots of tight technical shots through the woods
Locals were nice
Beautiful trees and wildlife

Course design had people throwing towards one another several times.
Water challenge has no build up, it consumes most of the first 5 shots.
Water is hard to deal with if you have to, even rollers vanish in it..VERY murky. No gators though so people were giving it a go.
Finding some pads is not that easy but the course is so tight that you will eventually find it.
Tee pads were close to the previous pad's basket, causing concern.

No Open Bomb shots (You don't really even need a driver here)

This course has really short shots (250' avg?), so you wind up finishing it faster than you expect and you'll want to play another round because you have so much time left. An hour away from my house, so I may only visit here for events.

Overall, It was a pleasant course. No Epic holes really, just nice short shots that sometimes require some finesse and a few over the water that require a little more oomph.

-Good mix of open and wooded holes
-Holes that bend left and right
-Active local crowd of friendly, dedicated golfers
-Color score card and map available at entrance
-Almost every hole has a fair line
-Nice use of water and trees to add challenge to an otherwise flat plot of land
-Plenty of birdie opportunities if you hit your lines
-It's pretty easy to find discs in the rough
-No fire ants, unlike other courses I've played in FL
-While there is only one tee per hole, each hole has multiple pin positions and they supposedly change them regularly.

-It's pretty easy to lose discs several of the water carries.
-Navigation would have been hard if I hadn't played my round with a really nice group of locals. I can't detail this because I was chauffeured from hole to hole by four great guys.
-The fairways are a little too tight on a couple of holes, but this course is about accuracy, not distance. And you don't get punished that badly for missing your line.

I was in the area visiting family. I showed up at 8AM on a Sunday and there saw one group of 10 people and was quickly invited to join another group of 4. I had a fantastic time playing with Dan, Jake, David, and Paul. Great guys and they took great care of me. Hanging with them made navigation a breeze, they showed me the lines on every hole, and helped me look for my disc that went in the lake.

Most of the holes are about 250 feet. Trees and water carries add challenge to the course, which is a nice change of pace compared to Tradewinds. I really like the flow of the course and how there are no long walks between holes. It's scenic and the shade is very pleasant. The cypress roots are really cool. The $1.50 I spent was a total bargain. This makes for a great local course and certainly worth a 30 minute drive for someone in the area. It's right off I-95 and anyone looking to play should make the trip.

This course could easily reach a 3.5 if navigation was improved. The tee signs are good, but it's hard to find the next hole and see some of the baskets.

Mostly short holes, but still challenging because of the amount of trees. It also has some nicely set up holes with shots over the lake.
I appreciate this course because it involves throws that are risky but can lead to plenty of birdies.

Trees. Avoid this course if you get aggravated easily when you hit a tree, because it will happen. It almost seems that there are no true "fairways", but there is enough spacing in the trees for a well placed shot.

It's a small park, so the design can get tight especially on the back nine. Also, some holes are situated too close to the fence, where you can nail the fence off your drive and birdie the hole.

Not the most well maintained park.

Unique park that gets the most use from Disc golfers. Located next to the railroad tracks and I-95. It is not the cleanest or nicest park in the area, the lake is an ugly shade of brown.

Overall, I like the challenge to this course. It is unlike any course in Broward County, but it could definitely be better if the park was larger.

Now 20 holes as of January 2017! Baskets are still in good shape, cement tee pads, tee signs also indicate next tee direction, benches and other cool chill out spots throughout and two clean restrooms. Easterlin is a mix of short open holes and light woods. A large lake adds to the aesthetics and challenge with three shots that the lake comes into play. Free to enter park on weekdays. Practice basket by hole 1. Lots of challenge despite the small size of the park. Hole 1 starts right off with a tight long water shot. Holes 2 & 3 give you a taste of the wooded holes to come. Hole 5 is a bit more open and a signature hole, a RHBH hyzer bomb over the water and a real forehand or turnover test for a lefty. Another signature hole would be 4 as the basket is hiding in the palm bushes across the lake with options of a RHBH over the water or a lefty land route. Holes 10 - 18 go into the cypress trees where your shot shaping skills will be tested by some tight lines. No heavy rough to hide discs that may smack a tree and fly off the fairway. New long tees have been added in November 2016 on several holes which really ups the challenge.

Busy multi use park. Watch for walkers, soccer balls, etc. Tee 8 is too close to basket 7 and is a safety hazard.

Small park with short fun holes and lots of shade. Close to Turnpike & I95 make this a good choice for visitors from out of town. $1.50 each to enter weekends.

This is the course the average player in the area is going to enjoy the most. You don't have to have a canon to reach any of the pins. There is enough variety to keep the course interesting (just missing length). This course will test your short game. You can tell a lot of thought went into the layout as there are many holes that are short but challenging due to the pin being placed in a difficult spot to reach on account of trees. The water is in play in some creative ways that really make you pick your line carefully and you will end up in the water if you pick the wrong line or pull it to close to the trees. Friendly players on the course and a place for disc lost and found. There actually are a few honest people on this course who will call and return your discs.

Tees could use updating. Spiders all over the woods so watch out. Train tracks with speedy trains with a forest of spiders over the fence on hole 17 so watch out. There are 1-2 holes on the back nine where the trees are on the ridiculous side with no obvious route to the pin whatsoever. Those become more a game of luck than skill for most players.

This is one of those courses that has everything that would tell you your score is going to be good and then throw out just enough tree limbs and water to fight you all along the way. Accuracy pays a premium on this course and make sure to bring a disc you can throw with confidence over the water and finish left.

This course is all about the trees. "Don't hit wood and you do good" is my slogan. Most pins give you Birdie opportunities if you manuever between trees.
A good course for the finese player and those who can't throw 300 feet.
Shade is welcome during hot Florida summers. Good drainage following rain.
Scenic, with wildlife living there.
Multiple basket positions keeps course interesting.Discs easily found,except if they go in lake

Terrible pads. Carpet with roots under them or holes in dirt at end can be dangerous. Impossible to find Pro pads. Takes time to learn tees and pads, Woods full of spiders, beware of webs in back 9. Murky lake is shallow but discs can't be seen even if 3 feet from shore.

Be sure to have discs that float-Dragons, Hydra, etc as at least 2 holes (3 and 5) force you to throw over lake. That's about the only chance to "let it rip" as trees stop long shots at other pins.

Great Signage
Multiple Pins on Some Holes
Multiple Tee Pads on Most Holes
Varying Hole Layouts
Water Hazard (over on 3, 5A & 6 - Behind 4)
Open, Tightly Wooded & In Between Holes
Great for Honing Your Accuracy

Some Tee Pads too Narrow
Carpeted Tee Pads (May not be con for some)
Tee Pads Can be too Close to Other Fairways
No Elevation Change
No Number Plates on Holes
Not Going to Rip Long Drives Here

Was on vacation and had to get a little DG in. A nice little course given the amount of space they had to work with. I was able to get a course map at the office and had little trouble navigating the course (although a couple of the numbers on the map didn't seem to match the course layout). I recommend noting the walkout path before you move past the tee as you won't find a walkout sign to guide you to the next hole (Only an issue b/c of the close proximity of holes). While my game caters more to open holes with longer distances, I still enjoyed the finesse and accuracy required to shoot low scores on what is a shorter than average course. Had the pleasure of talking with one of the local club co-directors who was out working on the course - didn't catch his name, though.

It is nice that they fit in 18 holes on such a small area. The park is well maintained. Tees have signs that acurately show the hole and the next tee.

Because the park is small all of the holes are short, I dont think there was one over 300 ft, which means you cant really let loose. There are a LOT of trees, pretty much every hole has trees in the way, and often its hard to find the holes. Also they are palm trees so the brances are very hard and even the limbs will make your disc bounce as if it hit a wall.

I can see how having to play around the trees adds difficulty, otherwise the short holes would be too easy and be boring. But to me the trees were just a pain, they made getting birdies almost impossible but getting par almost garunteed. Ultimately it is a decent course and is fun if you dont get upset about hitting the trees.

PS: The map provided by the front office had the holes shown out of order, I believe holes 6 and 8 were swapped as were 11 and 13.

Short course with some interesting layouts and multiple pins and tee pads on several holes.

Some of the carpet tee pads are torn or have tree roots growing under them. Be aware of spider webs on some of the heavy wooded holes on the back nine.

Course is not for the first time player but is not a very difficult course. This course will challenge your game and will require you to use some shots that you don't normally use including some big hyzers off the tee. This is a great course for work on your short game and for adding some shots to your bag.

Notes about the park: Easterlin Park is free during the week and costs $1.50 per person on the weekend. The park is closed on Tuesday (due to buget cuts). League night is on Wednesday at 4:00.
