Decent layout but has some fatal flaws 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 2, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Course shares a space with ball golf, which means you can rent golf carts to play.
The layout of the holes provides for some fun shots, especially when throwing off the elevated tee.
Due to sharing the land with ball golf the land is very well manicured.
Most/all the holes are long to very long which means you can spend the round reaching back and really letting it rip.
There was a cart girl selling cold beers and other drinks and snacks.
The baskets were all in good condition.

Cons:

Biggest complaint is there are no tee pads and no tee signs whatsoever. The only thing indicating where the tees are are 2 tiles the sit flush in the ground. Even with a course map it was very difficult to find most of the holes. Without UDisc it would've been even tougher. Highly suggest using UDisc to find the tees. If you don't have UDisc or a course map it would be impossible to play.
Most of the course plays on, through, over and around the ball golf course, which means there were multiple times my group had to wait for ball golfers to play through. Between having to search for each hole and having to wait for ball golfers we could never get into any kind of flow and the round was very choppy.
I like long holes/courses but having 9 holes over 500 feet seems to be overkill to me. Some of it seemed like distance for distance sake.
The course is near I-95 and you can see and hear the highway for most of the round, and in my opinion playing right next to a highway gets marked as a con.

Other Thoughts:

Course is worth playing for the experience of playing and driving around in golf carts. All the club employees in the pro shop and around the course were all very helpful and informative.
But to be honest I probably won't be back because the lack of tee signs combined with having to wait for ball golfers on more than a handful of occasions detracts from the enjoyment.
It was $3 for the round and $10 to rent the golf cart. Also they ask that collared shirts be worn.

Worth the experience 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 13, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

-The golf cart experience was the draw for me and 13$ to play and ride was very reasonable.
-Wildlife was abundant, iguanas, ducks, tropical birds, and maybe gators which is why I donated one of my disc to the drink.
-(Not for everyone) I thoroughly enjoyed have a bloody Mary to start my round and have the beer/snack cart on the course was a pleasant surprise as well.
-I like the idea of putting the courses on top of each other, paying to play, and minor dress code. I feel like these are steps in the right directions for growing the sport.
-Lots of open holes to stretch your arm out.

Cons:

-Navigation was extremely frustrating. I really wanted to like this course a lot but spending that much time trying to figure where throw from and to was maddening. Luckily the cart allowed me to stake out where the basket might be from the "tee pad" that is if I found it.
-No tee signs or even a map. Never found holes 12 & 13 but that's probably because couldn't figure out which direction to throw on 11. I eventually found the chains on 13 and got back on track. Also, 17 is a big dogleg left. Took me a while to find that one too.
-Course workers, while friendly, didn't really have any knowledge of the disc golf course. I asked a few time for help and the answer I routinely got was " you mean the Frisbee thing?" and that's about it.
-This may be a one off, but I found the trees sticky. I left two in the sky and that's never happened to me before. Maybe it's a FL thing but that doesn't happen to often in New England.

Other Thoughts:

-Follow the ball golf cart path and look for the YELLOW MARKERS flush with the ground. That's the only chance you have in figuring some of the course out. Some of the markers are cracked and I never found 12 &13.
-Although playing with a cart is awesome, be wary. You're almost not walking at all so you need to warm up and loosen up between shots. I tweaked my hamstring on my first flick about halfway through the round.
