An Ideal home course drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 25, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

- IMO a perfect blend of short wooded holes and longer open holes for most players with a little experience.
- Good baskets and tees. Multiple layouts that are all fun save a couple of the long tees (long blind anhyzer on hole 5).
- Some tough basket placements still have legit lines to throw. The short par 4s are more placement shots than needing a big arm.
- Holes 3 and 4 are are fair water carries that you will lose discs in occasionally, but aren't too difficult to make.
- Seems to be cleaned up a bit more every time I play here.
- Hole 4 is very satisfying to throw bombs on.

Cons:

- Some of the rough is very thick and throwing high into trees can lose discs quick.
- The park itself is nice but its loud with the airport and freeway bordering it.
- Hole 17 feels pretty skippable
- Hole 16's tee pad is tucked in a corner kinda awkwardly but it doesn't affect the shot much. Parked cars can block the forehand line though.

Other Thoughts:

- Favorite holes: 4, 8, 18

Great course for out of towners 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 17, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

Concrete tee pads
Multiple distances for most holes
Challenging basket positions
Water holes
Elevation
Directional arrows on baskets to next tee

Cons:

Rough can be a bit thick

Other Thoughts:

Course was in good shape with challenging basket locations. Many holes were tropical in feel and the course was highly playable for all skill levels with multiple tee positions.

I met 2 groups while I was playing solo. Both of which were friendly and let me play through.

I am an out of towner and have never played in Florida and it was great to get a different experience than Ohio. This course easy to get to next to Fort Lauderdale airport and is easy to play. I would highly recommend if you are on vacation in Florida and can bring your discs you should stop by to get in a round.

Beautiful Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 5, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Beautiful Course with a nice mix of finesse and distance. Very well maintained!

Cons:

Definitely a bit challenging at times (especially some of the water holes) but there are always Red Tee options where you don't have to throw over the water.

Snyder Delivers a Great Challenge 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 5, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very demanding course requiring a variety of shots to score well. A nice mix of left and right, short and long, water and woods. Even some elevated baskets.
A must play for the challenge but also the beauty of the course.
Course navigation was clean, tee pads were fine, and the holes were well maintained.
Bad shots were rarely if ever lost, and could cost a stroke but weren't so ridiculous as to ruin a round.

Cons:

Some foot traffic and muggles on the beach of hole 4 wasn't ideal but not a significant issue.

Tough maybe even dangerous to retrieve discs that were short on 3. (hanging basket on a hill over a pond.) The bank is very steep and the water is deep.

Some aggressive plant life in a few places when you go off course.

Other Thoughts:

Maybe after numerous plays I'd be less impressed but attending the Tilted Kilt/Jetstream Open and playing this course was a real treat. This is a placement course not a bomber course, though the long accurate thrower will enjoy the opportunities and challenges of risk/reward golf.

I can only imagine what this course is like in full bloom. The maintenance could be a challenge to keep up with.

I've played a number of south florida courses. Some are too tight, some are too open, some have too much water. This might be my favorite course.

Great Challenging Course, Unique for the Area! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 5, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Various shots to play here, It will test the tricks in your arsenal for sure. Never a boring round. Many opportunities to be rewarded in your score! Unique layout utilizing elevation and creativity. Will definitely help your finesses game as I have done very well and very poorly here.

Cons:

Main con to me is the terrain! The soft and unstable ground does a number on me every time. I am not in the best shape but I feel it. Ankle knockers need to be addressed for safety. Many places to lose plastic, even on good throws due to blind shots and overgrown areas which seem will not be addressed. A few pad placements are unrealistic. Hole 17 I am not a fan of the pad being on the road where cars can pass (although no real traffic comes thru).

Other Thoughts:

I love playing this course and can't wait until its complete! Meaning signage and final pin placements and pad assignments. Things tend to move around here a lot.

Gorgeous/Work In Progress 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Aug 6, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Absolutely Gorgeous Park.

Stunning scenery right out of the gate. Lakes, tree variety, elevation, and woods make for an enjoyable round. Water carries for the brave, but few worries for new or rec players though as the short tees minimize the water hazards. The blue and white tees offer enough challenge for just about anyone, and the reds offer a more casual round. Great variety of shot types. I'm pretty sure that I used every disc in my bag here, and every throw in my arsenal. The course is also very fun to play.

There are some really cool elevated and covered pavilion-like structures to take a break in. Plenty of restrooms also.

Cons:

Work In Progress.

They went a little crazy with the elevated/hanging baskets here IMO. I usually don't mind one or two on an 18 hole course, but here there are so many that it seemed almost strange to come upon a regular height basket. Does mix it up though and add to the challenge.

Not all of the tees are concrete yet and some of the tee signs need updating. Navigation might be a little tricky for first-timers. I would recommend getting a guide or using a map.

Large multi-use park with the possibility of oblivious nondgers hanging around the baskets. Seems to be a minor issue on all of the SE FL courses that I have played on.

Other Thoughts:

Normally when I play a course for the 1st time I take notes while going through. This course was so beautiful right from the start that I didn't take notes so that I could experience and absorb it completely. The potential is here for a higher rating, and I would love to come back and play it again when it's' a little more refined.

Tropical Jungle Fun! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 29, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great layout, challenging holes though out, beautiful course, great variety of shots, #3 is easily the best water hole I've played!

Cons:

signs could use an overhaul, not easy to find your way there for a first time visit, fairways could use a bit more grooming ( just take out the small bushes and plants that aren't meant to be obstacles, that end up hiding your discs from you).

Other Thoughts:

did not encounter this myself, but some holes play very close to other park goer activities. i went at 3 on a week day. I shot a 65 first time out, i still think i left plenty of strokes out there as on some of the longer holes i was guessing where the basket was. Cant wait to play here again.

snyder park 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 25, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

A lot of different style holes making for multiple shot options . The course has been tweaked since the baskets where first put in and is much more friendly but still very challenging . They also hired a diver and have a return box and have returned many lost discs already . There are 3 different tee pad locations for every hole but still only 9 baskets . A must play if in the area !

Cons:

only 9 baskets ... for now
