Fun layout 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 15, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Well balanced, lefty hyzers overwater , some woods, some open field, plenty of lines for everyone, multiple tee pads, multiple basket positions.

Cons:

No bathrooms, water hazards, can flood some holes out on good rains

Other Thoughts:

I think it's one of the best in the area. Fun challenging and makes you want to come back for more. Makes you play various shots using a wide range of discs.

Awsome course 2+ years drive by

Pros:

* open / non congested disc area
* good variety of holes with plenty of challenge especially from the back tees
* water, manditory, and elevated holes provide additional difficulty
* good mix of tunnel shots and open, hizer and anhizer holes,
* well maintained, clean , picturesque

Cons:

* course is toward back of park, takes a few minutes to get there
* navigation to hole 13 is a bit confusing the first time you play....go toward the lake

Other Thoughts:

I've played probably about 100 courses and don't understand the low rating on this course. It is a great course. Thank you to all that built it and maintain it.

Best in Broward 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 11, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great mix of wooded, open, and water holes located in a very large, beautiful park. I'd rank this as an intermediate course, due to the variety, length of shots and basket placement. Some baskets are placed up on hills, which is rarely seen in South Florida and adds so much to the course.

Near perfect Condition - Paved tees, good signage, and well maintained. The holes near the lake are especially nice to play, very serene.

Figure 8 Design - so the first 12 holes circle counter-clockwise around with a lake on your right, the remaining holes, once you come back to the middle, run clockwise with a lake on your left. I thought this was really smart, since it should balance the course for left and right handed players.

Few people ever go to this side of the park, other than the road (see Cons) running through the middle of it, so it still feels separated from the rest of the busy park.


Cons:

The road that runs through the middle of the course is adjacent to 8 holes. Though only a few cars and bikes roll by, not a huge problem, it still takes away some of the appeal.

No restrooms/water fountains anywhere near the course or the course parking. Hopefully, that will be added sometime in the future.

Some holes along the fence line make retrieval tricky,but there are gaps in the fence to jump through.

Rainy weather will flood some fairways (#7,8,9).

Watch out for fire ants!

Other Thoughts:

One of the best, if not, the best DG course in Broward. This one and Heritage Park are my two favorites, though Markham takes it by a slight edge. Snyder Park might be close once its complete.

Large, amazing park with plenty to do. Pavilions, Mountain Bike trails, Gun Range, Boat Ramps, Camping, RC Plane Airfield, & Dog Park.

Course Complete And Playing Well 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 14, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This course has improved greatly over the years and is turning into a top-notch DG course. Three sets of nice concrete tees per hole and 2-4 pin placements make the course accessible for all skill levels. The course is fun to play and is quite scenic, especially on the wooded water holes.

Cons:

There is a giant sign now, telling people to stop parking and picnicking on the course's fairways, but they still do. The park can also be insanely busy at times.

Other Thoughts:

This course puts a smile on my face and is a blast to play. It's quickly becoming one of my favorites in the area. It may be best played in the morning during the week though.
