Rustic Scenic Fun 9 Hole Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 21, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

A scenic 9 hole course that is very hilly for this part of Florida, plays around some deep jungle filled abandoned mining pits and has enough trees on the fairways to make you think about your lines. Nice signature hole 9 throws down a fun-sized hill around to the left and the basket sits between two large boulders. I like the way that they used the existing sidewalks/cart paths for the disc golf tees. The course was very clean and had a nice chill vibe to it. It seems like this part of the park is completely dedicated to disc golfing now!

Cons:

The course needs some TLC and updates. There are no tee signs (other than the abandoned ball golf tee signs which are generally near where you need to be for DG). There are spray painted lines on the sidewalks with tee numbers and some distances. But a lot of the spray paint is fading away or gone completely, especially for the whites. I can not stress this enough: PRINT THE MAP! Navigation is tricky here with almost no aid at all. I think that I saw one arrow under one basket the whole round. To find the hole two tees, backtrack from hole one's basket and veer off on the path to the right going up towards the outside of the park.

A lot of the park needs to be mowed. We came out covered in burrs. The fire ant mounds are large.

Other Thoughts:

The scenic beauty and fun hilly holes on this course overcame the cons for us. This is a pretty epic nine-hole course. With a few upgrades and improvements, it could compete for one of the best nine-hole courses in the state and beyond.

On the way to the course, we kept seeing signs for a coney island hot dog joint That Elvis had eaten at! Well, part of traveling and bagging, for us anyway, is to also find cool local places to eat at. It doesn't get much cooler IMO than an old hot dog place (est 1960) that the King has been to. Follow the giant billboard signs into town (don't turn left at the second Speedway gas station) and it's easy to find.

Fun and quick 9, mix and match tee pads for a full round 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 15, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Some really fun shots on this now closed ball golf course. Letting everything get overgrown seems to have helped create some challenge on lines to the basket. Not sure how accurate the scorecard measurements are supposed to be but many of the pins seemed closer than advertised. Hole 3 is super intimidating with a hyzer line over the quarry but super rewarding if you land in the circle. Hole 9 really made me look back and enjoy the day, breezy Florida weather looking back from the top of the hill behind #9 basket toward hole 1 and the rest of the course was an amazing feeling. Some random golfers I met after my round gave me a free beer when I was asking if there was a water fountain. Those guys rock.

Cons:

Worst problem is finding which pin belongs to your tee, especially around #4 (pins for 4, 5, and 7 are all very near to each other).

Another problem was that the red tee on #9 had dead palm frawns hanging down over your line. It's almost impossible to throw a pure RHBH line toward the pin with them hanging where they are. #3 is scary as shit if you need to fetch a disc down in the overgrown quarry. I wouldn't recommend getting down into it but even if your disc is only 10-15' inside the hole it's really squirrely. The pin for #4 is kind of hard to find and the pad+pin for #6 was also a hell of a find (keep walking past the pin for #5 until you see the tiny pond on the back left, follow the path down until you see the rubber tee extending blue pad for #6).

Other Thoughts:

Everything else about my round was pretty great. Made some sick birdies, particularly on #8 that I parked with a slight hyzer. Ran a birdie from about 200' on #7 and made a sick putt from about 40' after I confused #5 pin from #4 pad (oops, but, great putt). Only thing that kinda sucks is that the property is all closed, so trash, grooming the landscape except the grass, basket condition and signage is all a bit rough. I've been in maintained parks that have looked worse though, and the lines+elevation is really rare for Florida so definitely worth throwing if you're near by. Again, you can easily make a full 18 hole round by mixing blue/white/red tees.

Also, if you use the scorecard instead of the "course map" I think you'll have an easier time. In general it's pretty tricky to navigate if you've never been before but if you stick to the concrete path you'll inevitably find every tee pad. Every single pad is on the concrete path.

Chasm 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 8, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This course is embedded into a ball golf par 3 course. Each of the 9 holes has one basket and three areas to throw from. Several of the holes play right next to or over the old quarry and the wind can be difficult to navigate but in a fun way.

Cons:

I could next find on of the teeing areas for hole 1.
If disc goes in the quarry it is gone.

Other Thoughts:

I have payer the minimal fee to play this course several times and it has great elevation changes that makes me keep coming back.

I've met my match. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 5, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Use of golf carts.
Tee offs were easy to find.
There were changes in elevation.
Well maintained greens.
Beautifull layout considering what it use to be.
Holes 1 and 9 had little canyons.
Holes 2, 3, and 4 had the Quarry to contend with with.

Cons:

There were no concrete tee pads for Disk Golf. The map that was given to us indicated "Tee off around here". So my brother and I said the heck with it and shot off from the Ball Pro tee, which I assumed was not proper. But I did it anyway. Hole five was pathic (way too short, so my brother and I dumbed it up and threw our putters).
By the way, I lost two disks to the quarry. The top part of the quarry is covered in thick thorny brush and the walls are too steep & soft. Believe me, if you are to throw over the quarry, make sure you hit the bottom. The brush is an impossible place to retrieve a disk. If you throw to the bottom, at least you can walk between one and two and walk into the Quarry.

Other Thoughts:

Yes this is a nine hole ball golf course, but it was pleasing to me to see Ball and Disk golfers playing side by side.

PS. Watch out for the wind. It plays tricks on the disks when you play over the Quarry. I lost my two disks (one on one and the other one three) because the wind made my disks do the complete opposite of what they were built to do. Prime example, number three, I threw my favorite "Avenger SS" over the Quarry, a short easy throw to the basket. The first time it hooked severe left and crashed into the fench by the out of bounds. The secouond time, the winds made it severely slice to the right and landed right in the middle of the thorny brush on the middle of the top Quarry. I love my Avenger SS, but I was not going to risk my life for it.

In short, it is a Fun Challenging course that provided good views from different elevation, But be carefull of the wind. It will mess up a simple shot over the Quarry. Best advice, play things safe, do not throw over the Quarry, throw to the side.
