Great for beginners and intermediates 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 3, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

- No underbrush except for a couple of holes. Trees are great, but underbrush/palmettos are snake magnets.
- No leaves or sticks on the ground. The course is out in the open.
- Good use of using the field in multiple directions.
- Park is well kept.
- Huge park has multiple bathrooms, soda machine, water pool, BMX, baseball, football, lake docks, skateboarding, billiards, ping pong, weight room, golf diving and putting green and lots of stuff.
- Staff inside main building are nice.
- 2 bathroom buildings along course.
- Course is near roads so if you loose a disc, you can get a rake from the groundskeeper and drive right up near the hole.

Cons:

- Signs and maps are wrong. Multiple pads on some holes that go nowhere. A complete mess.
- Park is located in the middle of the gettos of Pine Hills Florida (AKA Crime Hills).
- No putting green (but there is a putting basket) and no driving range with distance markers.
- No circle markers.
- Not to sound racist, but the park is in the middle of the gettos. The only caucasions are on the disc course. You'll hear plenty of loud rap music from all directions. And just don't go into the woods on the northside unless you feel like becoming a statistic. and whatever you do, get out of there before dark.

Other Thoughts:

- Map shows hole 9 before water ditch (east). It's on the far side of the ditch (west).
- This is a favorite of just about everyone. It is located behind the central florida fairground and is huge. It's not to hard. Your disc can go in the woods on hole 6 but not far to get to. It can go into the watered ditch on hole 9 as well. Other than that, you don't have to worry about losing your discs as the course is out int he open.
