This property was beautified by its disc golf course.
Every hole is a unique vista and story.
Feels like you are out in the jungle, but it's a very well designed disc golf course.

Keep your disc on the fairway!

A well developed golf game is needed to successfully tackle this course. This course has a little bit of everything - long, tight fairways; short, elevated, deuce holes; fun greens. Every hole has been well thought out, and every shot is a challenge...

Multiple pin locations and tee pads...

Another classic Hosfeld course...

Not a con, more a warning; the rough is heavy, stay on the fairway

-Good tee signs and other signage/arrows to help direct you to the next hole. Very easy to navigate without a map
-For a wooded course EXTREMELY fair fairways with very few "clusterf***" trees which bring more luck than skill into play
-You will use your entire bag from the longs to longs
-Championship level wooded course
-Bathrooms at the start of the park as well as a practice basket. There is even a soccer field next to holes 1, 2, and 8 if you want to work on some drives prior to starting the round
-2 9-hole courses within a 15 minutes drive if you have the itch to play more than one course
-Unique lines that will challenge the best players to figure out which disc to grab in their bag
-Dog friendly!

-Still "unfinished", and by that I mean the main fairways still have a few stumps in the ground and a few loose branches to becomes more than just a minor inconvenience. The concrete tee pads are finally in on MOST holes though a few of the long pads wound benefit from concrete pads.
-As a woods course there is the inevitable choice between clusterf*** fairway and clusterf*** green. Personally I'm ok with one or the other but not both. That said imho there should never be a course design in which luck is a considerable factor to decide between a birdie and a double bogey. It doesn't come into play often but when sitting in the middle of the "fairway" there are 1 or 2 holes where you think to yourself "ok, where the F do I throw now?!"
-It's a little out of the ordinary that 8 and not 9 comes back to the fairway but honestly it didn't bother me.
-Very long walk back to the parking lot from 18 but it's beside a gorgeous lake with lots of wildlife to admire while you contemplate the beating you just took.

So I had heard about this course for QUITE a while. I finally got a weekend to come up from Orlando (nearly an hour from where I live in Windermere) to play it. WELL worth the trip. I played Nature Park after also (see review) and it was a great day of golf. With the other 9 hole course (Lincoln Ave which I didn't actually play) you could easily make a full day of golf of 36 holes.

This is NOT a course for beginners. I will stress this as many other have. Do NOT play this course if you do not have control of your discs or can't throw at a MINIMUM 300 feet consistently. You will lose MULTIPLE discs. As a 1000+ rated player on hole 6 I threw a second drive cause I wasn't sure my first hit the line I wanted. I shanked it and now that disc is lost in the rough. The rough here is serious. There are a few holes where you can recover but most are BRUTAL. I took a 6 on a par 5 after landing in the fairway off the tee shot. That said the fairways are 100% fair. Very few of them had me questioning where the line actually was. When it comes to wooded courses if you've seen any of my previous reviews I'm VERY particular in determining if I think a course is good or meh. This course is solid. If you struggle to shoot even par or better on your local 9 without much rough this isn't the course for you. It will destroy your confidence in disc golf and you will literally have to buy any entirely new bag.

TBH if you take this course, coupled with Lake Hiawathe, 65th Infanty in Kissimmee, and T2 at Bill Frederick I can't think of a better collection of 4 top notch courses in one 45 minute area. Play this course if you have the skill or if you think you have skill and want to test yourself.

The only things preventing this course from getting a full 5 out of me are:
1) As a woods course there's almost always an element of luck (unlucky trees in the fairway; not getting a skip when you were playing for it. Being stuck behind a tree after a 400 foot drive even through you're within circle 1; etc)
2) Tee signs are subpar for the course (The're fine, but for how awesome the course is I think they could be better).
3) There's not really a beginner friendly option ( again debatable as you can argue a championship course doesn't need to be beginner friendly and I DIDN'T play shorts to reds which may be much easier...)

Overall I easily plan to play this course again and highly recommend if you're in the area and within a 30-45 minute drive to give it a go. Strong work from Gregg Hosfeld and World Champion DG Design.

If you don't shoot even par or better on your local 9 without much rough this isn't the course for you. It will destroy your confidence in disc golf and you will literally have to buy any entirely new bag.

Also bring mosquito repellent. I didn't and it was a bit annoying...

I almost never rate a course on it's potential , but this course pretty much has it all . For such a new course , the improvements just keep coming . I looked at the top 10 courses in Florida just so I could compare what I played to those . I am positive that once this course receives the necessary amount of reviews , it will rank high in the top 10 . First , the parking lot here is plenty big , big enough to hold a tournament . Bathrooms up top of the lot . The parks dept. keeps the course mowed pretty good , and the rough and its edges are being worked out . Print a map if you can . I never saw it online , but the navigation isn't bad . Plenty of NEXT TEE signs throughout to keep you on course . . , as the walks here can be long , and you don't want to second guess yourself and have to double back . The course starts at the far end of the parking lot . There are already 2 tees per hole , rubber , but I hear ready to go to cement . Both tees have great signage , with pins , hole # , par , distance and flight path . They are set on a white post for the shorter tee and blue post for the longer tee . There are 2 baskets per hole . The red being the shorter pin and the yellow being the longer placement . This is a great idea , because since each hole has 4 possible hole options , you can progress at your own pace , mixing and matching the tees and the pins . There is a little water with a creek running in and around some of the holes and a small lake on the right of hole 18
. Bring water because you will be here a while . The longs read 7908' but coupled with the walks , you will easily travel 2 miles + . I have now played several courses from World Champion DG Design and come away impressed every time . The elevation is here , nothing drastic , but you can tell .
Lots of tight woods fairways . This Course will test your mettle and your nerves . Plenty of par 4's and even a par 5 (807' hole 15 ) on the course . As challenging as the course is , there is some fun factor here . You WILL get beat up on some of the holes , especially from the longs . If you plan on playing the course more than once in your lifetime , I would suggest playing the shorts first j, just to get your feet underneath you . The spacing is great here . You an sometimes see other groups or individuals on some of the holes , but you won't be able to throw into another fairway . Scenic and normally quiet here . The 18 holes at Palmetto are distinctly different from each other . Lots of risk/reward shots . A good opening hole has you throwing slightly downhill with a fencelinge on your left and a hill on your right , the red pin being on the top of the hill and the yellow hidden at the bottom . #2 is your first par 4 , with the blue tee elevated and disappearing into the woods across a creek . The fairway moves left and up giving you a right or left to either pin . #3 has a bent tree that you will have to negotiate . Stay slight left on the fairway .#8 give you a bit of a rest and tests your accuracy with a short distanced but well placing hole . The red basket sits pin high with both tees and the yellow sits on a hill . # 10 is a water carry but short , with baskets sittin between brush or trees . #11 is a brutal basket placement ( 447' + ) that is pretty much a station to station par 4 . #17 plays straight , but long and narrow at 522' + . If you land left , you will be in deep rough . #18 is a great finishing hole where you might have to negotiate part of the lake to get to the baskets sitting on a slope of the hill leading to the water 378' . Signature Hole : #9 with is an elevate tee shot down into a narrowing fairway . If you land on the left , you may wind up in some deep rough . The right will land you in even deeper rough . The fairway opens up a little , with a tunnel shot at the end , depending on which basket you are throwing at ( 537' from the longs ) . Nice park with little other foot traffic . Great course . Plenty of bridges help .

#1 .You better wear your hiking boots or at least some old gym shoes or spikes . There are still some fairways that need clearing , and I almost tripped on several little stumps that were covered by leaves . Also , a long sleeved shirt and jeans might be a good idea , too . ( bug spray ) . The mosquito's can be heavy here . #2 The rough is really rough here . Disc Risk : Since the holes are longer and require you to throw blind sometimes , you can easily lose a disc in it , or even the water on 18 . Taking turns spotting would help . The course needs an online map on DGR .
#3 You will encounter very long walks between some of these holes . Especially from 8 to 9 , walking a bridge and long cement path , and 18 to the parking lot . At least 300 yards to your car . The course can be muddy after a good rain . It will also bring out the worst of the insect world .

For a course less than a year old from when I played it , this is a fantastic course . I have played 69 course in Florida and it already ranks in my top 5 . Humbling if you play the longs like I did , but I was okay with it . You feel a sense of accomplishment whenever you birdie any hole here . A lot of work and money went into Palmetto , and it shows . 22 miles away from here is Hiawatha , and when you combine these 2 , you have a destination play in Central Florida . I call this course Precision With Distance ! You can't go wrong with a course that has 2 tees and 2 baskets with distinct fairways for each . My Recommendation : Not a course for newbies or families , not even from the shorts . Casuals disc junkies and locals to the hard core pros and ams ,should play this wonder . If you are a traveler , Travel Here . Thank You , Lake County Parks & Rec for installing this treasure and also letting me play it . PLAY THIS COURSE !!!!

Really lets you get all your shots in one round, is every whole is a little bit different and distances vary. It's a beautiful walk through the woods and because the water is high The Creeks are flowing with a nice sound. They cleared out the t-pad on hole number 3 and added some additional support to 17. they have taken a tractor and mowed most of the fairways except for whole number 3.

Whole number 3 still needs to be weed whacked as the whole fairway and green are overgrown by head high weeds, but the rest of the course was well mowed. There were lots of broken glass pieces all over the fairway especially on hole 11 so be careful with pets and improper footwear.

We'll see how hurricane Dorian affects the course in the future, but with regular upkeep and maintenance this could be an awesome place to step up your game and have a tournament. The front nine is much more challenging than the back nine in my opinion, but there is a situation for every shot that I have in my bag. To finish the course on hole 18 over the water it's such a fun and challenging experience and I can't wait to come back after the storm and into the fall when the weather gets nicer.
