Two good concrete tee pads on all holes. These aren't the widest tees, but they are plenty long, I don't remember having to start on the grass behind any of them. They are well aligned to the hole, so the width isn't a big deal.

The Chainstar baskets are all in good shape and a Yellow/Gold color, easy to see through the woods. The wooded/guarded green on #5 even had a flag on the basket, since the palm bushes conceal it pretty well.

Good tee signs at both tees, showing the two to three basket positions, I don't recall seeing any indication of which basket was in play, but most were visible from the tee.

The North course has just about every type of hole you could ask for, partially wooded park style, thicker wooded, mostly open and even an island, water carry to finish on.

A couple of long walks between holes, #1 to #2 and #11 to #12. Looking at an older course map, it looks like #2 used to be along a park road that you now have to walk, and go uphill, to reach the current #2. There must have been some conflicts with the road and nearby soccer fields. Then after #11, you have to walk past the other end of the soccer fields, behind bleachers, across a couple of parking lots, this area also used to have the next hole, but it looks like a good idea to skip that.

A few other long walks on the Back 9, but that was mainly to get to holes away from other park activities or roads.

Once you get up to the more wooded holes, #2 - #9, the grass was pretty long in several places. This is a DG only, mostly hidden area of the park, not surprising the maintenance is a little lax here.

The North course is the second course at Gordon Barnett park and felt to me like the better of the two. The quality of the equipment and variety of holes overrode the pain of a couple of long walks. There are a couple of Par 4s on the Front 9, one appears to be from combining two shorter holes to one longer hole.

#4 starts the Par 4s, a mostly open drive that then cuts down to only a 15-20' gap, with thick brush on both sides. From there the fairway turns right and goes at least 200' to the basket, still pretty tight and thick on both sides.

Then #5 is pretty unusual, the tee is bordered on the left by thick brush, the right side of the fairway has a chain link fence bordering a water retention pond. (I was going to skip this drive, until I noticed an open gate further up the fairway.) After this narrow drive, the fairway opens up to nice grass, then a sharp left turn and another 150' + to a green guarded on all sides by palm bushes.

All of these holes are laid out with a mix of left, right and straight holes. #6 is pretty cool with a mostly sand fairway.

After coming out of the woods, #10 is a downhill tee shot to perfect grass, the basket is on the left, perched at the top of a slope leading down to a creek. Take a run at that basket at your own risk.

Then #11 continues along that perfect grass, creek down the left and soccer fields to the right, on the day I as there, the basket was in the long position, past several large guardian trees, at the end of the park property.

#12 through #17 are good park style holes, a couple of different lines were available on most (#14 plays as left to right) and even some elevation to deal with on 3 of them.

That brings you to the signature, epic finishing hole. It reminds me of #2 at Hornets Nest for the DGPT Championship. Island green that has to be hit, there is no layup. While this appears to be shorter then #2 at HN, the island is smaller, and crowned, so I can see rollaways very possible. Plus, there are a couple of large, hardwood trees, with large branches that could grab a disc. A fun hole to play, glad I landed safely.

I played the North course first on my day there, the Red tees were about right for me, the Blue tees add a little bit of distance. It looked like this course was getting most of the rounds. Really nice to have two quality courses in the same park, 36 holes in the July afternoon sun of Central Florida was quite a challenge, plan ahead with plenty of water.

- Located in the massive and gorgeous Gordon Barnett Park in Orlando.
- The park itself has all sorts to offer, bmx, recreation areas, ball golf putting green and driving range (I used the driving range to warm up, the nets caught the discs perfectly.)
- Baskets are all in good condition.
- Tee-Pads are all in good condition.
- The hole diversity is second to none; each hole has a million different ways to reach the pin creating a very interesting experience when playing in a group.
- The course diversity is also very good; each hole presents its own unique challenge with hazards, O.B, deep rough and tree lines. There is no getting bored here.
- Multiple pin placements on some holes.
- Amateur pads on most holes; playing from these pads produces an entirely different course and creating a totally different experience.
- Beautiful wildlife throughout the entire course.
- The signature finishing hole to end all signature finishing holes. 315 feet from a shaded Tee-Pad over a gorgeous pond with a fountain onto an Island green that is only 40 or so feet in diameter. Basket sits on the short side of the island under a large tree. A perfect shot is needed to make it on the island.
- Pro shop located on grounds.

- The Tee-signs are borderline terrible in my opinion. They are not very accurate, dingy and look like they have been there for a while.
- Course can become a little difficult to navigate; the back 9 is nearly impossible without a map or a local.
- Almost certainty that you will lose something out here; whether it be a disc or your mind, something is getting lost.

- This course is Top 3 favorites and Top 3 difficulty.
- Another great course in Orlando, the new mecca of disc golf.
- In my opinion, the playing experience on this course is better than the Park side course, but at what point do we say if its not broke don't fix it.
- Definitely take a day trip for this course, just make sure you either have a map or a local.

* Challenging lines in the woods with unique (6 and 8) holes.
* Multiple pads and pin positions
* Excellent shot variation from extremely tight lines on the front, to a more wide open back.
* Definitive signature holes with 6, 8, and of course 18
* Reasonable distance variety especially on the back nine.
* Front nine is quite shady and does give a break from summer heat.
* Pro shop with decent disc selection is on site.
* Bathrooms and water fountains on site with water fountains before 15 by the playground.
* Course is a real challenge. These are not 225 ft wooded holes. It plays quite long off the back.
* Prepare to use your whole bag, lots of different lines to be played.

* Sometimes the navigation and walking was odd. After hole 12, you have to walk around a football field and across the street to continue, and there are other holes that are tough to find. You will walk a lot for your 18.
* I had mixed feelings about hole 8. It seems like a spike hyzer hole, but there is a low ceiling with no real cut through. I would like to spend some time just playing that hole to see if I can figure out what I missed. Not really a con, but it was confusing at first.

After playing parkside, this was a real change. The holes in the woods were long and precise, and the open ones still had gaps to play. I really appreciated 13 to 18 and the differences they offered. And hole 18....What a sight. 315 ft to an island is quite the shot. You can leave your round thrilled or with the one that got away. I played a star eagle to the middle of the island and left loving this course. I wonder if I would have felt differently had I found the water? I'm sure I'll find out one day in the future. But, don't let the challenges of this course turn you off. There is basketball, mini golf green, hiking, fishing, and playgrounds to also enjoy. the fact that there is as challenging a course as northside is just icing on a tasty cake. Please take the trip and enjoy!

Plenty of variety here. Of the 2 courses at Barnett Park, this one is the toughest. Long holes w/ good obstacles (trees) to throw around and through. Hole 18 is not for the faint of heart, as you must throw a strong drive to make it onto a small island..... you miss and you're now down a disc. Really the entire course is pretty difficult and may not be the best course to start off on for beginners. Great wooded areas w/ clear lines to the baskets though. Also clear paths and signs pointing to the next tee. Love it!

Many people may just pass on hole 18 due to the high probability of losing a disc in the water. Difficulty level a bit high for beginners.... this is judging from my own experience... this being my first course.

Awesome terrain for what central FL has to offer.
Pro and Am tees are poured and clean.
Multiple pins seem to float around monthly.
Tree placement is challenging, but not enough to become annoying.
Holes favor a variety of different shots.

This course is pretty awesome, I've played it around 50 times.

if im being forced to gripe about something: lack of elevation between holes. [ but this is florida ]

for the landscape and the unknown budget, i think the discgolf setup couldn't really be much better.

My friends and I play here at least once a week, still not sick of the north side. This place is fun, I'm glad I live close by.

Challenging course with plenty of OBs to navigate. Multiple tee/pin positions. Mostly easy to navigate. Nice signature island hole 18! Pro shop on site. Course maps available at pro shop. Nice scenery. Some elevation play.

Trouble finding hole 3 and 17. 17 was recently moved. A little biased toward rightys.

A great and challenging course. Shoot 54 here and you've really played well. You can't beat two courses on one site. This course is much more fun that the Preside course for an advanced player. Urban area with lots of traffic so exude confidence.
