-Tight holes make you bring your "A" game, or play it with your mid range discs (if you are a beginner) & a spotter
-Layout and course instructions are good and fairly easy to follow for most part
-Orange tape on the baskets to show you to the next tee
-Tee 12 & 17 are pretty neat
-A gazebo and a shelter to help you take a break when things get hot
-They do have a port-a-john there
-You can tell a lot of love has gone into this course

-This course has drainage issues (part of 17 fairway is UNDER water)
-Not looking and I stepped in muck getting my shoe soaked, that's always fun
-Rarely does this course open up, it stays tight for most of the round
-There are about 3 holes that could be better marked, I think the distance for 10 is off as in shorter than listed?

So I started to finally keep score and this was my first scored round. I like this course and I think I will come back to this more often. I still feel PBR is a better course, but this comes a close second which is why I am confused it does not get the love.

You need a spotter because unless you are a pro, you will be looking for your disc at least 1 or 8x.

I love the shack on 5 and I think the spin o mando on 17 is a hoot. If you are in the area, you gotta play it.

The course was a good but aggravating time for the family on Christmas Day 2018. I've been playing disc golf for a while and was joined by some new players.

Malabar DGC was rather clean and well kept, not much litter to be seen. The locals take care of the course pretty well.

The signage is pretty good, too. It has good "bones" for a successful disc golf course.

The fairways are tight but adequately defined.

This course is fairly difficult. I'd be a liar if I said it was family friendly. The fairways are very tight and are absolutely riddled with bushes/trees. Some of the holes get a little repetitive. Also, some are very strangely laid out, almost to the point where you have to walk the hole before throwing.

Overall, it's honestly a decent course for someone who is NOT new to disc golf. We, a group of four, spent a while looking for discs in the tight fairways. We still had a good time, but every family outing is better when you don't spend it wading through bushes.

I do recommend checking out Malabar's DGC if you're in the area. My party drove for about a half hour to play it and we still had a great time.

A lot of midlength tight heavily junglefied holes set in a seemingly dedicated to disc golf area of the park. Decent concrete tees including one with the self-proclaimed "longest tee pad in the world" crudely scrawled into it. I'll admit that it is the longest tee pad that I have ever seen. The biggest tees that I have ever seen though are probably at Limona by Tampa. They are twice as big as the biggest tee pad here. The tee signs are ok and there are plenty of next tee signs to aid with the somewhat wonky navigation. The course has some great chill spots to take a break and some curious other things pop up on the course. I won't spoil them for you. but they give the course a little extra character.

First off, the rough here is ever present and brutal. You must keep a constant eye on your discs, or you will lose them. New players and those of lower skill levels could become frustrated here real quick and lose all of their discs. This is the kind of course where you go into the jungle to find your lost disc, and come out of it with two different ones, but not your own. There are several blind baskets which will add many more steps for first timers trying to figure out where the baskets are.

An interesting course that can become repetitive though with some quirky charm and punishing rough.

A challenge. Tight fairways cut threw palmettos, bring your straight long game. Really neet amenities added by local disc golfers. Benches, huts and a wheel to spin on one hole. Pure disc golf, no one else is out there.

Keep it in the fairway or spend sometime searching.

-Challenging course. Tight wooded lines carved through pine trees and palmettos.
-Decent variety of hole length and shape.
-Good signage. Hand painted tee signs are unique. Plenty of next tee signs where needed.
-Very nice concrete teepads. Big enough for long runups. The "longest tee pad in the world" is pretty cool and adds elevation to two holes.
-Benches on every hole.

-The rough is pretty bad. Palmettos line every hole. Definetly worse during summer months. Lost disc factor is high.
-Flooding can occur on several holes.
-Fairways are very close to each other. It could be dangerous if course was crowded.

Lots of work has been done here. It no longer feels like a tacky jungle course. The rough is still there but is not as bad as it once was. Great place to work on accuracy. Just be sure to watch your throws and use spotters if you play with a group. Overall a fun course and great change of pace from other local courses.

UPDATE(1 year)- The good work continues. The longest tee pad has been sured up to prevent erosion. Please use the stairs.
UPDATE(3 years)- Year after year Malabar gets better. The group here is very dedicated to improving the course. New pin positions have recently been added.
UPDATE(5 years)- The good work still continues. The added pin positions have mostly been shorter than the originals making the course play somewhat easier. But... DISCLAIMER: This course is not and never will be beginner friendly. Also playing here solo is a bad idea.

18 holes on 8 acres....don't expect to much. A fun play on the short side...lots of tight shoots and corridors

Accuracy is a must or your in for a long day
Errant shots have a high probability of being lost.

Overall nice use of the mandos creating a good flow. A little more land and it could be a real gem. . .

New tee signs maybe? A tad confusing first time through...a few different baskets visible most of the time.

The course seems to improve every time im there. all pads are now concrete as well.

I think the rating should be a little higher then whats been given so far. Alot of work has gone into making this course playable

* Quiet and never busy
* Heavy woods/palmetto pushing accuracy and variety of throws.
* Hospital right down the road, and park across street with restrooms.
* Very natural, raw, and peacefull

* Not very polished, occasionally mowed
* Those palmettos will tear your legs up on lost discs (thankfully the hospital is right down the road lol)
* Difficult to learn course layout (until you play many times)

This is my local course, and i wouldn't have it any less wooded or more popular. You may see 1 other person golfing at any time, and its so wooded it feels like a walk in the forest.
