3 years after the Valkyrie kid

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 19, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

Remote and quite setting. It is a very large dg layout.

The wind is a pleasure as it's open and flat.

Cons:

Remove the tees and replace with another material.
I could not find the tee to 4, 10, & 11. The walk from 9 to 10 is unnecessary.
There are no "wow" holes.
Depending on the single basket locations, it does not allow for different skill levels to play a round.

Other Thoughts:

The course is not bad but there should be two baskets per hole. The land is worthy of a dg course, I think some of it should be redesigned.

HARP Course Is Long, Windy And Spread Out! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 25, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Homestead Air Reserve Park is a huge, pancake flat, sprawling park without enough space for five or six 21 hole courses. Much of it's grass is so thick and mushy, you feel like you're trudging through sand. I found 21 holes here to be quite a workout, despite the park's lack of any elevation, whatsoever.

There is a nice course sign and map at the beginning. The course is played in four different sections. 1 & 2 play in the small section by the course map. Then you have a fairly long walk past the parking lot to the large expanse and holes 3-11. Walk past the soccer courts, cross the street and walk past the restrooms to reach the # 12 pad. Holes 12-18 play in this section of park. After 18, cross the street to reach the last section and play the final three holes, which ends right where you started.

My favorite aspect of HARP is how the holes are a nice mix of lengths, mixing in some short ACE runs with the longer runs. The tee pads are mostly brick although a few are coming apart. The signs are great little metal ones which also show the next tee. I really liked that the tee sign poles have the hole # painted on the top. It helps you on this wide open course to see the hole # from a distance. The baskets are a pretty green, Prodigy model that also have a next arrow pointing you to the next tee.

I don't if there was a signature hole here but a couple that I enjoyed were # 9 which was 338' playing down a gauntlet of palm trees, # 10, the short little 213' hole with the basket set behind this big tree and # 13 which played 480' and crossed over two fences.

Cons:

The wind was blowing extra hard.

The grass is very thick forcing you to trudge through much of it.

There are some long walkouts.

Neither me or the guy in front of me could locate the # 11 tee pad.

Several tee pads are coming apart.

I don't think there is any reason why this course is so spread out. I believe it could be condensed into a much more manageable area.

Other Thoughts:

There is easily enough room for 18 or even 36 more holes here. There were times when I was trudging through this thick, thick grass and thought, there is so much wide open space here. It just seems immense! And the wind didn't help much.

There is much to like about this course and there are things I didn't much care for. You might view the wind as a challenge or may not be bothered by the thickness of the grass. If so, you might like the course more. All in all, I consider it pretty average.

Fun, Needs a little TLC 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 26, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course has many Pros
-According to Map My Run App, current layout I played was 3.24 miles from parking spot back to parking spot.
- One of the few course I have played in FL that allow you to stretch out your arms on power throws
-Course is spread out very little hole cross over
-Depending on time of day, easy drive in and out from outside areas
-21 holes to play
-Course was overall clean when I played
-Current layout has a few deuce opportunities
-Few holes dealt with public walkers or bikers

Cons:

The are a few cons with this course
- Use the bathroom before you start, This course is very open and the facilities that I past were closed. Police drove by regularly
-Take a picture of the course at hole 1, you will need it.
-Hole 11 tee sign is missing, you will not find with out the course layout picture.
-Once again you will not find hole 12 without course layout long walk in between 11 to 12
-Hole 13 could be unplayable, flight path is over a parking lot, if cars are parked you will most likely skip. (I had to)
-Grass is high or thick, don't try a roller won't go to far
-Tee pads are pavers and where you plant your foot on the throw, they are starting to separate. Be careful, I rolled ankle on one

Other Thoughts:

I am a player that travels and plays these course when in town for work, This is the first time I played this course.
-This course looks like it needs some local TLC, Tee Pads need some work
-This course is on the way to the keys, if you are traveling to the keys or in the area it is worth the play.
- I felt it could be a higher rated course with the TLC I mentioned earlier
-I would play this course again when in the area or passing through to the keys
