Reviewed: Played on:Sep 29, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Drive on the concrete road past the mountain bike trail for the disc golf course. You will see the green warm up basket.
- Variety of shots used for my rounds here today. Lots of short fairway drivers and mid ranges.
- Excellent use of space with the layout. Holes are generally close, well signed, and all have tee box signs with accurate distance and maps.
-Stay in the fairway to score well here. Rough is brutal and unforgiving.
- Nice elevation use on several holes.
- Great group of guys designed this course. I met a few of them durning my wam up and round. Incredibly friendly and hospitable group.
-Beauitful baskets, they just don't agree with my putting style.
- Bathrooms at beginnning of course.
-Excellent concrete tee pads at every hole.

Cons:

No trash cans or benches
Need a transition sign from 9-10. Only transition I got confused on during my rounds
Sign for the disc golf course would be super helpful. Maps left me searchingly for a bit.

Other Thoughts:

Excellent course and well designed. I shot a 51 blind here from the longs. All skill levels should have a great time on this course.

Great Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 13, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Played this course in it's early stages. The parking lot just barely opened up for vehicles to park there. I'm very impressed!
Met up with a friendly local who showed us around. I'm blown away by how much work went into this place. Info board, bathrooms, concrete pads, signage... they really came out swinging!
It's a tight, challenging track. Limited 'open' holes, most require finesse and accuracy. This place will test you on a variety, if not all, shots in your repertoire.
I like the hole lengths, for how technical the course can be, it's nice that the holes aren't super long.

Cons:

One or two holes were difficult to find from the previous basket.
A poor shot into the rough on some holes can lead to a miserable search for your disc, if not an outright loss.
It wasn't clear where the first hole was when we first showed up. Only after talking to three different locals did we find directions. ( drive deeper and deeper into the park until you run out of road)

Other Thoughts:

I loved this course, even though it kicked my butt! I'd love to come back someday and see how much it has progressed!

Elevation changes in Florida 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 31, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good use of hills and natural foliage.
Even temporary signage shows hole length and route.
Concrete tees adequate for short run-up.
New baskets.
Challenging lines.
Pleasant walk in nice scenery.
Cart friendly- had to lift over a log a few times, but even my small wheels pulled easily.
Well laid out to avoid clashes with bikers (except errant throws, of course).
Rest rooms on site.
Some elevated tees - always a plus!

Cons:

"Next tee" arrows and or sign with directions would help the flow of the round.
Practice basket needed.
Parking closer to course would help.
Not long enough for big arms.

Other Thoughts:

Very enjoyable departure from flat Florida courses. Anyone looking to work on stand-still shots or technical game will appreciate this well designed, well kept course.
