Learn to shape your Midrange and putter! drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 23, 2023 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course is on a very cool piece of property that is heavily wooded and relaxing. As my title suggests, you will be doing alot of shot shaping and is a great place to really learn your slower discs. There are a variety of routes on most holes and they require precision. Having a sidearm and backhand will serve you well but if you played the whole course with one style of throw, you will only improve your control over multiple rounds. It is an enjoyable experience and even experienced players could come here and sharpen their game. There are also bathrooms which is awesome for a relatively small park.

Cons:

Some of the tee pads are at awkward positions in relation to the trees and borderline on being lucky over precise. Maybe due to space issues as it does make the most of the land that it is on. Its hard for me to list a bunch of cons because you have to take each course at face value as well as what the designer had to work with.

Other Thoughts:

This is a course for you to really test how accurate you are. Mistakes will often setup odd putting situations and I consider this a positive. You will be forced to work on your small scale scramble game and is a great place for casual and intermediate players to really come work on their shot shapes. I usually add whether I think a course is worth an hour drive to play and I'm a bit mixed on my take on this. If you enjoy wooded courses that force you to make precise shots then I would say it is worth the drive. If you enjoy bomber courses and get easily frustrated at wooded courses I would say go and work on becoming a more rounded player. Its a fun course and I would say for a first time round it would be worth a reasonable drive to play a course you haven't played. Disc golf is like pizza. When its good its great and when its not that good its still good.

Noice 2+ years

Pros:

This course has been redone as a real 18 hole course with 18 tees and 18 baskets. It is pretty short but no gimmie. It is set almost entirely in a densely wooded area. Miss your line, and a 160' par-three turns from a 2 into a 4. Some folks might find the short technical holes to be too tedious, If you prefer an open park-like setting, you might not like this one so much. But for those that like a course like this, you will really like this one. Put on your long pants and sturdy shoes

Nicest tees and signage in the area. Easy navigation with most next tees within steps of the previous baskets, but far enough not to cause a danger. Since it's short and in the woods, it's a great summer course for Florida. The course exudes charisma and is set in its own isolated area.

Cons:

The extremely tight lines could become tedious and frustrating, especially for newcomers. The course is fairly new still so I would strongly encourage bringing bug spray.

Other Thoughts:

Seems like the most popular and most played course in the area except for Tuscawilla. Everyone in my group loved it and we had a very fun round here. It pairs well with the other nearby similar course Doris Leeper. Bring sturdy discs and give it a try!

Thank You to NSB Disc Golf crew!! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 1, 2019 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Nice layout for the available space. Red tees (holes 1-9) are fairly beginner friendly and not too tight (especially for a new course). Blue tees (holes 10-18) are much longer and a real challenge. For a bum like me just play the reds twice around.

9 hole layout with concrete tee pads. Short tees are called holes 1-9, long tees are called holes 10-18. All shoot to the same basket on each hole.

Practice putting area with basket. Nice bathrooms and picnic area. Garbage can provided in middle of course.

Cons:

New course that will hopefully get better with age. Thank you to the installation and design crew!!
Course will benefit from being used more to help beat down some of the under growth.

Most holes are set up for a RHBH player either slight hyzer or slight turnover.

Other Thoughts:

Had my FIRST HOLE IN ONE!!! Hole #5 from red tees, 205 feet using a Discraft Glide. I will play course again soon.

New Course Option 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 15, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Enjoyable little course just recently completed in the New Smyrna area adding another option of Disc Golf.
- Course was carved out of the woods of Holland park and offers many flight options to test your bag.
- New Concrete Tee pads which are nice and large with plenty of grip.
- Restroom house on site and plenty of parking all located adjacent to the first/last hole.
- Ample signage and easily was able to navigate.
- Technically a 9 hole course but playing as 18 with a front and back tee bad playing as 2 separate holes. (Hole 1 plays from the close pad...as you come back around after 9 and go to the long pad, that tee sign is labeled at hole 10 and continues to 18.
- Diverse course that all skill levels can play.

Cons:

- Course is still very new and still needs some work to the fairways. There are several stumps to be grinded and some basic details to finish.
- Most holes are short and technical through woods with minimal hazard play.
- Even though the course plays as 18 holes, I prefer a full 18 individual holes (18 baskets with the full flow of 18)
- Minimal elevation....relatively flat throughout
- Very Short distance on most of the holes

Other Thoughts:

A nice new addition to the area if you live nearby and want to practice your short/technical game. The course does not really offer any area to open up any power but it has its advantages to still be a fun option to play a round at. Nice to see many new recreational courses like this one popping up in the Central FL area.
