PBR - Yes, the course is better known by its initials and they have disc stamps with a takeoff (copy ?) of the famous PBR logo.
The course plays through a mostly wooded area, with several holes through tight tunnels, to guarded greens and the others through partially wooded fairways. A pond comes into play on a couple of holes, including a significant carry, wooded on the tee side and some clearing on the basket side.
The fairways are all pretty clear, with grass on several. The roughs were thick in a few places, but for the most part, they are thinned out to a good degree.
The baskets, a mix of Chainstars and Mach IIs are in good shape. The tees, a mix of concrete and some carpet are OK, not too wide, just wide enough and good on length. They are also flush to the ground.
The first several and last few holes, have good tee signs, but there is a gap in the middle of the course. About half the holes have two tees, again following the same pattern of the tee signs, more on that later.
Cool little Tournament Central shade area right between #1 and #18, I'm sure this is a great gathering spot during events.
Pretty much a DG only part of the park, it does circle the dog park, but only close on #14. It is a little ways from the nearest restroom, but not too bad.

The layout of the holes is good, but definitely overloaded toward the end of the course. The last 4, and 5 of the last 6, are all left to right turning holes. It would be nice to have more variety coming down the stretch. Especially #17, 16 and 17 have been added just across a park road in an area by themselves, 16 pretty much has to go left to right, but #17, with a couple of gaps available, is missing some of the only elevation on the course, a leveled off area about 5 feet above the fairway. Would be nice to see that "elevation" used.
A few of the carpet tees are not in very good shape, #5 and #12 come to mind, luckily, plenty of room to tee beside those.
While it wasn't too difficult to find the tees on holes with no tee signs, keeping the map handy is very helpful in locating them.

I'm pretty sure this started as a 9 hole course (1-4, 5 to 12 basket, 13-15 and 18), with the other 9 added in good spots. This seems to follow the pattern of dual tees and the tee signs, those were installed initially, but since the other 9 were added, that extra infrastructure has not caught up.
There are some good, and fun, holes in the "second nine", #7 is a long Par 3 at 350', that turns left and goes through scattered trees. Once of the few true right to left holes on the course.
Holes #9-#11 are all in the same area, just partially wooded with some old growth trees and plenty of grass. Several lines to the baskets are available on these holes.
Probably the best hole on the course is #2, longest hole on the course at 400'/550' and listed as a Par 3 (?), a narrow drive to an open grassy area, then over a mound bisecting the fairway, then another 100' or so to the basket, surrounded by trees.
One of several good courses in Brevard County, along the Atlantic Coast. The park is also known as Fred Poppe Regional Park, large, with soccer fields, ball fields, a Community Center and dog park. It is located west of I-95 on Malabar Road. Ironically, the Malabar Park DGC is also on Malabar Road, east of I-95, that course is much smaller with tighter, and thicker rough.

-Great layout
-Challenging at all levels (probably)
-Hazards and narrowness of a lot of fairways probably make you play shorter (but not in a bad way)
-There is some elevation in this course (hard to do with it being Florida)

-After 5 holes there was no good direction to the next tee box
-At hole 10, we got completely turned around
-Found out after we played, "they" recommend udisc to help you through the course
-Lack of trash cans

I have not been playing long, but this is by far the best course I have played. I liked it a lot. My "play shorter" comment is meant in a good way. As a beginning player, there sometimes is a tendency to grip and rip. Not this course. If the course was just marked out better, I would have not problems saying this is a 4 or 4.5 course. If you can only play one course in this area, this is it.

Tight and Technical for the most part with a couple of open holes and a couple of water hazards. A good mix of hole lengths and with typical coastal Florida palm and pine trees. Adequate carpet tees (see negs) and ok tee signs (see negs). Fun and challenging for higher skill levels. Plenty of benches and garbage cans and the course is well maintained.

This course is probably not the best for beginners or those of a lower skill level. The carpet tees are ok unless they are covered by sand, then they can become very slippery. The tee signs are ok but don't show the hole layout.

Navigation is a little tricky. I strongly encourage using a map or a guide. There are almost no navigation aids and there are a couple of difficult transitions. For hole 9: cross the street. From hole 12 to 13: use the map. For hole 14: head out to the road and down the fairway towards the clubhouse.

Generally considered to be the best course in this area but if you want to play it do it soon. Some locals were working on the course while we rolled through and said that it is probably going to be pulled so they can put in a camper park or something.

(3.484 Rating) I was surprised by this course, in a good way
- SHOT SHAPING - The tee shot experience on this course is exhilarating. I found myself running up several fairways only to pause for a moment and brainstorm on how I was going to attack it. Discs will need to be on a precise line to make the basket in many instances. Lots of very tight fairways, with only one with no discernible angle to the basket, (15) see cons. In all, I'd the give this part of the design a thumbs up.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - I played six courses over a two day period in the Orlando and Melbourne area and I found Palm Bay Regional to be visually the most beautiful. Palms line fairways like that of courses located in pine forests. Plus you'll also see the pine lined fairway on this course as well. There are a few water holes too, (5, 11 and 12), with (12) having the water feature just beyond the basket, and the basket is framed by two palms. IMO, it's the signature hole on the course.
- CHALLENGING - The back tees on this course are going to be very difficult to score low. Yes, many of the holes are on the short side, but they are constricting enough to challenge upper advanced and low tier pros. I could see a 950 rated player struggling to crack par from the back tees. I personally shot +1 from the shorts as a 900 rated player and I thought I played well.
- UNIQUENESS - The overall uniqueness is above average, and it scored a 3 out of 5 in my matrix scoring system. To start, the holes finish in a near even mix of all three ways, straight, left and right. In addition the finish angles vary from abrupt pockets to sweeping angles. There are numerous tight tunnel fairways, several blind shots, a parallel water play on (5), and a risk reward water clear on (11). You will also have a couple opportunities to grip-it and rip-it as well. The biggest missing item at Palm Bay Regional is elevation, see cons. Also missing is a par 4, par 5, and a true open hole.
- SPACING - Excellent hole spacing. Three players on my card and we never strayed onto an adjacent fairway.
- CHILL AREAS - Lots of secluded areas along the layout and with seating at about half of the holes.

I have a few concerns with this course but overall its solid.
- FORGIVENESS - Palm Bay Regional course will test the placement of your shots and your temperament. Being off your mark by a few feet sometimes isn't good enough. In addition, if/when you a hit tree, the resulting punishment is sometimes more than one throw. I had a nice drive on (4) but it took a horrible ricochet 200 feet down fairway and I had to pitch out away from the basket. In addition, the course is littered with Sabal Palms and they will steal your disc if you land on top. You must keep your drive low on this course.
- POKE AND HOPE - I'm not a big fan of this type of hole. There is for sure one on (15), but there are also a few borderline ones on (3 4, 9 and 12) with just the smallest of discernible angles to the basket. It would be a benefit to the course and take down just a few more pines or palms on these holes.
- PALMETTO BUSHES - As with a bunch of courses in Florida, this course has some palmetto bush patches, I think holes (6,7, and 8) had the most extensive outbreaks. Keep an eye on you disc on these holes, cause you'll want to limit the amount of patches you search. You'll be rewarded with a few cuts at each patch.
- TEES - They are carpet but thankfully about the smoothest surface you could hope for on this material. I happened to run into the course designer as I was finishing my round and he expressed his hope to have concrete tees in place by the end of the year. We shall see.
- CHARACTER - Average. In addition to sub-par tees, there are lots of other missing items that you'd see at an established course. No course map, limited hole signage, no practice basket, no bag hangers, and no restrooms. There is however a few shelters nearby, perfect for the summertime pop-up thunderstorm, and there are mostly shaded tees with several benches and a few picnic tables.
- ELEVATION - Really none to speak of. I know that this is typically for Florida, but this course is flat for even Florida standards. No hole changes even 10 feet in elevation and probably only a handful exceed 5 feet.
- NAVIGATION - I was lucky enough to have a guide on my first time playing here, but I've played enough courses to know that this one's going to be tricky in a few spots being a wooded course and all. I made a map of my findings and posted it under the files/link tab. In addition, the hole signage is not adequate for this style of course.

I also played Wickham and Covenant the day I hit this course. Hands down Palm Bay Regional was my favorite of the three. This course is not for everyone and beginners should definitely stay clear of this course. If you like spacious fairways to coddle you, you won't find it here. However, if you enjoy the thrill of staring down your tee shot in hopes that the disc will miss a gauntlet of obstacles in its path, then you'll love Palm Bay Regional.

A nice mix of long & not so long holes, require a variety of "golf" shots. Good use of the variety of trees. Some slight elevation changes which are rare on most Florida courses. The parking being across the street from the course gives a nice secluded feel to the course.

Carpet tee pads can be a little slippery when wet, and there are ants to be avoided.

Nice park in a growing community, near a high school. The locals are very friendly, clean restrooms near the course. Looking forward to the next 9 holes being completed.
