Rough 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 4, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

The college girls on holes 1-4 were a great view.

Cons:

Fairways are too tight. Need to tommahawk or throw a thumber to ensure any chance at landing clean.
Palmetto bushes are a horrible plant.
Rattlesnake on 15 could have been deadly

Other Thoughts:

The best part of this course was seening a Diamondback rattler on the 15th hole. Everything else was rough.

Tough and tight. 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jan 5, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

1) Challenging to say the least.
2) Not a single soul on the course. Even three university workers did not know they even had a disc golf course.
3) Variety of holes, including the fairway width, tree placement, and along the beach.

Cons:

I have a feeling it was a good idea back in the day and they may have maintained it more, but 9 of the fairways are no wider than 10-12 feet with deep palmettos and scrub on both sides. I ran across one long black snake, but it scurried away, but after I saw that I was a little afraid to go into those areas to find my discs.

Only one co-ed on the beach when I played!

Too many blind shots to targets that are not easily found. A lot of access roads make you think the hole goes one way when it goes the other.

Other Thoughts:

Bring a map from their webpage, you will need it!

Be sure to have a cell phone in case the snakes get you.
