Short beginner's course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 10, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

It's a good place to introduce youth and new players to the sport. There's some nice Florida plant life, and a small scenic pond comes into play on hole 5. It's easy to navigate once you find the first tee.

Cons:

You have to look around a little bit to find the first tee.
The course is short and flat and it plays around church buildings, so this detracts from the natural scenery.
There's little fairway variety with 8 holes that are straight and 1 dogleg left. The terrain is also too open (although this helps new players).
The signs could be improved; they are only small posts with laminated course maps, and there are no hole lengths available. The tees are quite short, but you can make due. The baskets are adequate, with a few Mach III baskets and some other mixed varieties (but keep in mind that this was funded by the church).

Other Thoughts:

Since the course is at a church it's privately funded, so I applaud them for introducing people to the sport. (It doesn't hurt to get exposure for the church too.) The course is short and fairly open, so it's a good place to introduce youth and new players to the sport. It will just be a quick round for more experienced players, though. It's a nice place to throw some discs if you're in the area already, but I wouldn't suggest going out of your way to play there.

My favorite hole- 5. Your drive is over a small scenic pond with nice plant life all around.
