The course at Plantation Heritage Park features three concrete tee pads for each hole. The metal hole signs are always set for the middle "B" positions. They play mostly between 250' and 350'. The easy rec holes look to be under 200'. The longs play 150' to 200' longer and probably play at a advanced level.

There are benches at many holes, Chainstar baskets some with numbers, nifty looking little metal bag holders shaped like baskets, next tee arrows on some baskets and nice metal tee signs complete with a map. Like every other course in the Sunshine state, this course is flat with lots of trees and four or five possible water hazards. It wouldn't be too difficult to drown a disc here. # 4 is 295' from the middle tee and the lake is close on your right. # 12 is 253' from the middle and the basket sits just about 10' from water's edge.

The course has quite a few treed holes often with low branches. I would think this would be a course where your roller is an important component of every round. There are a few Mandos and the course loops back to the start.

A real possibility of losing a disc.

Signs warn of crocodiles carrying off pets, small children and the occasional lumpy disc golfer.

Flat.

Lots of trees.

This is a solid course with some fairly easy to miss water hazards although I guess if you start feeling too confident, you'll probably end up dunking a disc. I played after a rainy, stormy day and the course was dry and very playable. I liked it and would enjoy playing here on a sunny Florida day if I was ever to return to Plantation, Florida although I think that probably a long-shot.

The course is set in a nice public park with about half the holes playing around the edges of a pond with the other half playing back and forth among the groves of trees.

The holes are almost entirely in the 250-350 foot range. As an intermediate player, I really enjoyed it. I felt like I had a shot at a birdie on about 2/3 of the holes.

Two holes have water carries but with a good risk/reward profile. You can bail out if you are confident, but the more dangerous carry is required for the birdie. A few other holes have the basket near the shore so there is no water carry but you are approaching toward the pond.

While you can certainly air it out here, the trees are used well. Many holes require low shots beneath the branches. There was a nice mix of righty and lefty shots. I got to use more turnover shots than I have used in months.

Tee pads are concrete and a little thin. Tee signs are okay. They show shorter tees, but I never saw most of them (they were rounded stakes in the ground).

Navigation is pretty easy, although the transition from 13 to 14 was not intuitive. There is a long walk from 9 to 10 but there was a sign pointing the way.

Very little elevation here.

If you play here often enough, you'll probably put some discs in the water.

Not a ton of challenge for advanced players.

This is a really enjoyable rec and intermediate course. It's probably not suitable for an absolute beginner, and more advanced players might be underwhelmed, but the vast majority of players will have a good time here.

Nice course in a quiet, suburban park that's biggest attractions are the walking/fitness trail, picnic areas, and the nice size pond (which allows fishing from the shore). No soccer or ball fields with tons of munchkin leagues buzzing around makes for a very quiet and peaceful round. Most other park patrons will be walking, jogging, biking, or picnicking.

• Variety: Reasonably good overall. Much of the course wraps clockwise around a lake, but you don't necessarily need to throw a bunch of right turning tee shots. Starts with several semi-open holes which make you work around a few obstacles (well-located trees, water, and an OB walking path) without necessarily forcing any particular line, but still requiring a decent control. Back end features significantly more vegetation, calling for somewhat tighter lines while still affording enough room to work different routes. Only #14 (a 330' tunnel flanked by trees and brush) really gives you one way to go. A few nicely guarded and well-tucked pin placements call for finessed approaches. Park is quite flat, but holes, 1, 10, and a few others that wrap around the lake make good use of what little elevation is available, with the potential for shots to roll away into the lake. Holes 4 & 5 bring water directly into play, while it looms behind the basket on 11 & 12. Contains a respectable range of distances from the shorts (219 to 420), which is only is enhanced by the presence of long tees. Execute well off the tee and par should be simple (and you'll probably set up several good birdie opportunities). Shank one off the tee and you'll need a good upshot to save par.
• Water carries: holes 4 and 5 let you to dial in as much risk as you want by carrying the water all the way to the green while allowing you to bail out as early as you like, depending on your personal comfort level... very nicely done.
• Aesthetics: Very pleasant setting for a round. Although it only comes into play on 3 or 4 holes, the pond is clearly in view on about 11 of them. The rest of the course takes you through a lightly to moderately wooded section of the park featuring a wide variety of different trees, several of which bear tropical fruits (the picking of which is prohibited).
• Equipment: Red or Blue stones designate the dual tees on most holes. Rotating A & B pin positions offer additional variety (for locals). Regardless of A or B placement, Chainstars are pretty easy to spot from most tees, but a brief walk may be necessary target some pins. Tee signs are pretty easy to spot, showing hole layout, distance, OB, etc.
• Routing/Navigation: Course flows fairly well from basket to next tee. Tee signs are an effective navigational aid, but a couple of walks are quite a bit longer than the others, which might cause some hiccups (from 9 to 10, and from 13 to 14). First timers that print the map should have no real problems playing the reds.
• Course layout offers easy access to start at several different holes, or play abbreviated 7 or 11 hole rounds.

• Safety: In my opinion, there's no bigger con than potential safety issues. I've played several courses where walking paths weave through sections of the course, but only played a few where you might have to wait for people to pass on so many holes (or for so long). Some fairways are positioned where you're kinda throwing parrallel to the path, rather than across it), so you may have to wait longer than you'd like for them to clear. Doesn't sound too bad, but this paved path around the lake draws several forms of non DG traffic. This is only compounded by the fact that all that traffic is largely unaware or unconcerned they may be in your way - and quite honestly, if they're on the path, they shouldn't have to be. One nice thing about taking a walk or run through the park is the idea that you can empty your mind while you're in your own little world.

While this may only be a factor on about half the holes, they happen to be the holes where wind is most likely to come into play, which only enhances the chance of something going not as planned.
• Natural tees are already worn - nothing more than depressions of dirt. OK when I played, but will become nasty in short order if they don't pour concrete.
• Only the reds tees have signs at this time, making them easy to spot, but the blues can be very tough to find and aren't marked on the map.
• Course is nice, but there isn't much shade - plan accordingly for the south Florida sun.
• I wouldn't say it's a bad neighborhood, but I recommend stowing anything of value out of sight, and locking your car.

Nice addition to the local scene, and thumbs-up for making good use of existing elements: trees, pond, elevation, hardwood hammock, OB path... to create some interesting holes and reasonable challenge.

This park sees a wide range of traffic, from joggers, skaters and elderly walkers to toddlers on training wheels and babies in strollers... you simply need to wait a while for them to pass on some holes - kinda kills your rhythm. Plus, even once you deem them out of range, they're often still in your line of sight... yes, I should learn to focus, but I guess I'm easily distracted. IMHO, the ever-present walking path, worn dirt tees, and difficulty finding all the blue tees (plus the fact that the blue distances aren't even listed on the course map) tangibly detract from a course that's pretty interesting and scores well in terms of being both fun to play and reasonably challenging. This keeps me from rating a course that's otherwise very good as highly as it would be based on the disc golf alone. Nonetheless, I think Plantation Heritage offers the best disc play in Broward County. I enjoyed playing here and you will too, provided you have some patience.

As a region, So Fla doesn't offer anything I'd consider destination disc golf for road trippers. However, there's a decent chance you may be visiting family down here, in which case Plantation Heritage could be conveniently located for a round while the kids are visiting grandma or the wife goes shopping in Broward Mall (2-3 miles away). Minutes from every conceivable type of food joint you can think of.

Lots of challenge. Plays around a lake and into back of park. Mostly open shots with large trees and a lake to shape a variety of shots over, around or under. 3 rest rooms along course route, concrete tees. Signs by white tees with distance, par & next tee direction. Discraft Chainstar baskets were purchased new for this course and are still like new. Nice practice basket area. Several memorable holes such as 1 that is on a mound circled by palm trees, 4 & 5 over or alongside the water, 10 on a large sloping mound.
Elevation: There are a few pins on mounds which adds more to aesthetics than the challenge as there is no real fear of a long roll away due to the thick Florida grass.

Shared use park with lots of sidewalks that play as out of bounds with people walking through almost entire course route. Other holes too near picnic shelters.

course has a&b pins, red, white and blue concrete tees and benches on most holes. Best played on weekdays or early weekends before park gets busy. $1.50 per person on weekends/holidays. Food Truck invasion every Tuesday evening. If you play Tuesday late in the afternoon or evening, expect to skip at least holes 7 through 9 due to food trucks on the course.
