Reviewed:
Played on:Sep 23, 2023
Played the course:once
Pros:
Concrete tees (x2) / decent baskets (x2) / proximity to highway / ample parking / the space seems dedicated to disc golf / navigation is pretty easy / mix of wooded/open / some range of distances and shots required
Cons:
All layouts skew towards the short side / seems like it could be a bit cramped if you've got several groups out, and depending on how experienced those groups are, the fairways on the second half of the course could seem even more cramped / Florida-flat / intermediate and more advanced players probably won't find too much challenge here
Other Thoughts:
I thought it would be fun to try and review Heritage P&G DGC in no more time than it took to play it. Here goes.
I had completed some unfinished business in Mobile and decided to jam over to Jacksonville to see an old friend before heading home. It's a quick 6 hour burn, and around halfway there is Live Oak, home of the annual Suwannee Hulaween concert weekend. It's also the home of a quick little nine-hole bag at Heritage P&G.
The day I played in late September it was evident the area was still cleaning up from Hurricane Idalia some weeks prior. The course itself wasn't in bad condition, but the tees were covered in pine needles, making it look as if the locals had had more pressing concerns than leagues lately.
Heritage was a nice quick leg stretch - late morning on a Saturday I had the place to myself. Two tees, two baskets, all 4 combinations leaning to the shorter side overall. It cannot be exaggerated the lack of elevation here - the course is the textbook definition of Florida-flat. Despite this, I wouldn't say Heritage is one-dimensional. The trees are used to great effect, affording some needle-threading opportunities, and there are a couple holes in the open, showcasing that Florida-flatness but giving the course some balance in terms of wooded/open.
I'd consider it a good challenge for beginners, experienced players may be underwhelmed, especially anyone looking for ball-golf distances and, well, any elevation whatsoever.
Play time was a half hour, tops. Which means I have to end this review if I want to achieve my goal. Final thoughts - Fun little niner, worth the bag.
