Navigating this course solo is somewhere between difficult and "Alex, I'll take a rusty nail in the cornea for $200."

Wow! This is one of those courses where the ratings are over the place, everywhere from 5.0's to 1.0's. Players certainly have strong opinions about Jet Stream. Anyone who believes this course is a 5.0 has never experienced a true 5.0 rated course such as Flip City or Harmony Bends or one of the incredible Colorado Mountain courses like Beaver Ranch or Bucksnort. But on the other hand, I can understand someone who played it solo without a guide being totally frustrated and rating it 1.5 or 2.0.

Some people might think that five elevated baskets is a bit much? I happen to agree and believe that all the raised and hanging baskets does give the course a miniature golf sort of vibe. One or two is fine, more becomes gimmicky. One of my more frustrating moments here at Jet Stream DGC was eying the very cool, landscaped basket on # 17 ? And not being able to determine where the tee box is located.

The park is interesting, kind of like an amusement park. There are some great picnic pavilions. At times, I felt like I was at the Disneyland at their jungle cruise ride. Check that, at times I felt like I was lost in the Disney Jungle Cruise Rude.

# 3 is one great but scary hole. It's about a 250' water carry with the basket another 20 to 30 feet farther but the basket is set up on this higher bank, maybe 8-10' above the water line, which adds another element of danger and challenge. This is a hole just made for a 5.0 rated course. Unfortunately, one awesome hole is not enough but there were lots of others that I eventually found and thought were good or great or whatever. I liked # 13 playing through the Palm forest. # 14 was great fun with all the trees and a super basket placement. All the raised baskets were fun, although the sheer number was definitely raised basket overkill. I really wanted to find # 17 and see how it played.

The noise here is omni-present, either from the nearby freeway or from the airport that is right next door. I also think I heard noise from a train passing by.

Navigating this course solo for the first time was mostly frustrating. With three sets of pads all over the place, including those painted on sidewalks and streets and trees and the inconsistent signage, I was seldom sure if I was on track or not? A local guide is essential. I had the on-line map and still spent much of my time wandering about looking scouting for tee pads, baskets or the next hole and never knowing for sure, which tee I was playing from. I was really confused after # 3.

This is a course with entirely too much going on. There are too many hanging/raised baskets. There are too many holes that aren't signed. There are too many confusing pads, routes and possibilities. I would like to see one solid, well signed 18 hole course which is easy to navigate. Once you have accomplished that, then concentrate on a Am and a third Pro course.

What is with the name? The Jet Stream Disc Golf Course. Is this like "The Ohio State University"? Sorry, but every time I hear an Ohio State athlete announc that he from The Ohio State University, I feel like i'm about to vomit in my mouth.

Like previously mentioned, I'm sure with a local showing me the way, that I would've liked this course a lot more. Maybe they should post an docent course guide at the beginning of "The Jet Stream Park DGC". Granted, that guide would have to be Katie Perry, buck naked, in order to coax a 5.0 rating out of me. Wait, did those previous reviewers have a naked Katie Perry as their local guide?

Creative use of water on holes 3, 4 and 18. The back nine has some fun hole placements, hanging and elevated. I think hole three is awesome, throwing from the am/pro tee you throw across a pond to an elevated basket.

As of right now, it is really easy to loose a disc on this course. The majority of the fairways are covered with brush and thick brambles on both sides. The water holes are easily managed by adjusting shot choice, hole 3 is only 200 something feet but can get in your head when throwing from the am/pro tees.

This course has a lot of potential. I really hope that the fairways and out of bounds areas are worked on to eliminate some of the really thick brush. I found this course to be more designed for a finesse thrower as opposed to a power thrower. I shot a 79,11 over par, but I honestly think I could knock 5 to 6 shots off my score next time by adjusting my throw selections. My wife and I had a great time and will play this course again next time we visit our friends. Ps, lost a champion glow Katana on hole 5 in the crazy thicket to the right and my wife lost a clear tye-dye Champion leopard in the water on hole 18. We will pay a reward for return discs.

After three holes, I was thinking that eighteen holes more like this and Jet Stream would be one of my very favorite courses. I cooled off a bit as the course progressed but it is possibly my favorite niner as is and well, man, those first few holes.
The first isn't a signature or anything but it's just a beauty of a wooded RHFH anny line with a distinct woodchipped fairway, the kind of solid hole that is the bread and butter of most 4.0s.
The second hole, that is a signature hole. Across the water to a hanging basket that sits on a cliff above the pond. Throw isn't high enough? It's rumbling back into the drink. A risky shot, but what a reward. You basically hit the green for an easy deuce or go OB. Still, the best part may be how well the hole is designed for different ability levels. The blue tee is directly across the pond. Go big or go home, as they say. The white tee is offers the chance to hyzer out to the left side of the pond and safety while the red tee offers beginners a short carry to a big landing area about fifty feet from the pin and at half the height.
Three isn't as spectacular but it might be even more tough. There is no cliff on the opposing side, but is a looooong carry from the blue tee. And yeah, it's elevated so long hyzer bomb is just going to look beautiful over that water. The white tee, again, a shorter carry and then a land approach, while the red tee this time avoids the water alltogether. Again, the different tees don't really shorten or lengthen the hole: they just shorten or lengthen the amount of that is over water.
Seven is similar to one, it's a longish wooded hole, but the line here will be more appealing to a RHBH slight hyzer. Again, the kind of hole that I would not expect in South Florida.
And then there is nine. Across the water one more time and the pin is high. From the blues, this one is even harder than two. Carry the lake, keep it high enough to land on top of the cliff and, oh yeah, most of the approach to the basket is blocked this time. It will be severely tempting to try and land much further to the right of the basket where there is more space but will likely result in a three at best.
So yeah, Jet Stream has signature holes.

The rest of the holes aren't bad. But they pale in comparison to the better holes here. In particular, five and eight obviously serve to maneuver you around the property. They run a little close to park roads and seem a little bit like filler. Still, if everything is finished, and the back nine match up to the current nine, this is a 4.0 with 4.5 potential. The top holes are that memorable. But I don't know of the terrain is available to make another nine this good.
And as of now, the course is still a work in progress. Download the map, because you will have difficulties otherwise. Navigation aids are minimal. I assume those are coming. I'm assuming cement tees will go in as well. (Just grass and colored markers now.) The tee signs are nice but it is definitely unfinished.

Already one of the best courses in the area. Bring the map until its finished but it is very playable.
