-Nice short course allows for a quick play
-Concrete tee pads on every hole. Longer holes even have "am" tees
-Multiple pin placements on most if not every hole to add variety over time
-Bathroom near the first tee
-Dedicated practice basket
-Elevation! Like, legit elevation. For non-Floridians it'll be "meh" but still, it's something!
-Great for beginners to learn "wooded golf"
- Brooms on just about every tee to help clean them off

-Most of the holes feels directly on top of each other. Several times I would throw and then as I was walking down the fairway realize if I had sprayed my drive I might could have taken someone out on the next tee pad. So just be aware.
-Clearly the most popular course in town with oodles of golfers on the course when I played. Not necessarily a bad thing but if you don't like playing through groups this could be an annoyance.
-Mountain bike trail VERY close to the course. The trail doesn't go THROUGH the course but you do have to cross it a few times to make hole transitions
-No distance. With the exception of holes 10 and 12 you could play the entire course without a driver even if you max out at around 350. For the 400+ foot driver just go ahead and leave your distance drivers at home.

Overall this was a nice course. It clearly gets a ton of play and with only two courses in town that makes sense. The only other option is Holloway which is an absolute gem but definitely not for the faint of heart. As a result it makes sense this course gets a ton of play from beginner players which is the vast majority of what I noticed today. As indicated in my cons really the only things I had a problem with were the closeness of all the holes to each other, the proximity to the mountain bike trail, and I'll add here the "what the f***" nature of a few of the holes. Many of the holes have extremely low ceilings which prohibit your ability to get close to the green. I love low ceilings because it negates just throwing over everything. But there's a good way to do it and a bad. Several of the holes fall into the latter category. Hole 9 in particular was really interesting. It requires for a predominant RHBH thrower either a forehand roller or an intentional early low hyzer skip barely 100ft from the tee to get anywhere near circle two. Hole 6 requires a super technical throw to navigate the fairway but then the pin is completely blocked by (admittedly beautiful) trees. In my opinion there is WAAAAAY too much luck on a few holes to get to circle one. But with the average hole length being less than 250 I won't complain too much. If you're in the area and want a challenge go play Holloway. But this course is not a bad course by any means. I give the course a 3/5 but that doesn't mean it's bad. It's good! you should absolutely play the course if you're in town!

Hidden Oaks DGC is new, has some lovely holes and actually has some elevation to deal with. This elevation is minor by comparisons with many other areas of the country but here in Florida, it's a pleasant experience and separates Hidden Oaks from the typical Florida flatlands course. I quite enjoyed throwing up and down the smallish hills.

The course is way back at the end of the park and is next to a wetlands area. There is a restroom here. There is a kiosk at the start with a nice course map. The baskets are the pretty green Prodigy models and there is a practice basket. There is also a course rules sign. The concrete tee pads are nicely sized. The metal signs show the usual plus they a have a hole hint for how to play the hole and the poles for the tee signs are the same color as the baskets. A new trend! A coordinated disc golf course! Take that John Houck. The course has next hole signs throughout. You also have to be alert for mountain bikers as this park seems to be popular with them, too.

There are two sets of tees, the Long Blues and the Short Reds. I played mostly from the Reds. From the Reds, the course plays mostly in the 200's. The Blues can get up to around 400'. With all the trees and some elevation, the course probably plays at a recreation level. Intermediate players will have their way with this course. I think I like # 8 as my favorite hole. It may not be the signature hole but it's just a pretty hole with basket set up a small hill. It was really quite a treat to play a a Florida course with some elevation.

I don't know if I can come up with much in the way of cons. I guess big arms will miss the chances really air it out. There's plenty of trees but there is no way you would describe Hidden Oaks as a technical course. Some might complain about the mountain bikers roaring around. There are some places where you want to look both ways before stepping out on a trail.

This is just a fun course to play. There are no open, boring holes here. I certainly prefer this to those more open courses. They were gearing up for their Sunday morning dubs tournament. If I had had a little more time, I would've have liked to played in their tourney. Nice course.
