consistantly fun and challenging 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 25, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

1. Excellent new tee signs with great detail for pin placement, distances, and possible routes
2. Multiple pin placements on all holes for variety and challenge
3. Plenty of trees for shade, but can also get you in trouble if you have an errant throw
4. Local club has added benches, with more on the way
5. Locals are friendly and helpful

Cons:

1. Jogging/walking path plays into some holes and can be busy at times. Sometimes a wait, but not enough to be discouraging.

Other Thoughts:

Great course. There are 2, even 3, different pin placements on every hole for variety and challenge.

The local club takes great care of the course. There are handicaps on Sundays - 10AM, and blind draw doubles on Tuesday nights - 6PM. They are an open and friendly group. Experience ranges from World Champion to newbies. They break out players by divisions, so it is always competitive, but friendly.

Coachman, Maximo, and Cliff Stevens are close by, and get a majority of the hype, and they are good courses, but Taylor is a great, underrated course that will challenge you and have you coming back to play again and again.

Nice Improvements 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 21, 2010 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

1. New Tee Signs
2. New player benches
3. More alternate pins have been placed, so now some holes have 3 different locations, all have atleast 2 pin locations

The players club at Taylor Park has proven that they care abou the park and making improvevments to the course. They have all new signs that are some of the best I have seen. There are more improvements being made as well. There are several more tee locations and a few tucked in within 10 feet of the water. The course can prove to be challenging at times depending on tee locations.

Cons:

Could use another restroom on the front nine by 20th street (atleast for us women).

Other Thoughts:

As the game expands and the economy improves maybe we can get a Pro-shop at the park

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 19, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Good variety in hole design and lengths kept me from getting bored. I had to use a variety of discs.

The course feels fairly open because it is mostly grassy, but there are a ton of trees that will affect your shots. To me, it required just the right mix of accuracy and distance.

Takes advantage of the lake on a couple holes, with your drive running parallel to the lakefront.

The terrain is a little more rolling than most Florida courses, which was a nice change. It's nothing like courses in other parts of the country in that regard, but better than some others in this area.

The course is very well maintained, with nice concrete pads, and marked very well. Any time I had doubt about where to find the next tee, there was a "Next" sign with arrow telling me which direction to go.

Park bathrooms are very convenient, along with tables, benches, etc. There is a map on the main sign at the start of the course to help you find the first tee, which isn't obvious from the parking lot.

Cons:

The fairways cross and parallel a lot of walking paths in the park, which had a few people even on a Tuesday afternoon. I had a wait a few minutes a couple times, and I bet it would be even busier on a weekend.

It looked like there were a few holes that had alternate pin locations, which wasn't obvious on the signs.

Other Thoughts:

I loved this course. First, it's a beautiful setting with the lake and lots of trees, and even a little bit of elevation change! It was a good compromise between the local favorites - Coachman and Cliff, so I ended up liking it better than both of those courses.

Great Course in Pinellas 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Nov 19, 2007 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

A great course in Largo I've played at least a dozen times. The holes are reachable but challenging. Fairly wooded, foliage comes in to play on most holes, the lake on some. A few of the holes are long and most look like some thought was put in to them. Course is good for beginners and advanced players alike.

Cons:

The only real con I can think of is that a pedestrian path runs adjacent to some of the holes, a picnic area by a couple of others. Delays are common and patience can be tested.

Other Thoughts:

A relatively quick play on a scenic, challenging course.
