Yes, Florida has hills, you just need to know where to look. I don't know if this is the hilliest course in Florida but it must certainly be in the conversation. The course was in pristine condition when we played it. All of the work on the course appears to be done and there wasn't a speck of trash anywhere on the course.

The course is set in a large multi-use park and features exceptional tee pads, very nice tee signs, and has most of the amenities found on other top courses. The course is set in a scenic park with plenty of diverse shot types and lengths and massive (for Florida) elevation changes. The course is fun for all except the most feeble.

Not too much in the con department for this course. It is in a multi-use park and walking paths and roads could come into play on some holes and you may have to wait for some randoms to mosey through once in a while.

We played the course in pretty much perfect condition and all five people in my group had a blast playing here. I would encourage folks who played it in the past and maybe saw it in an unfavorable light to play it again now. It is one of Florida's best and most hilly courses and should put a smile on pretty much any disc golfer's face. Highly recommend!

Tom Brown is a beast of a course, not just because he has 24 holes, but thanks to the challenge available from the long tees, oftentimes even the short ones. Bonus holes A-F are the best holes out here, featuring C as a signature challenge. Its long tee calls for a shot across a tree-filled valley that feels great if you can surpass the short tee onto the fairway. The pin remains elusive from there, tucked uphill to the right. But let's start at the beginning...Tom has two practice baskets (one oddly(?) near #5), large perfectly-textured concrete tees, framed and leveled, and benches on most holes. Good navigation and tee signs. Two or three pin positions add variety and the layout takes advantage of available elevation, particularly on 7-9, A-F, then back to 10-12. 18 is a long par 4 finisher, albeit much more open. Still signature-ish with it's framed/elevated basket. EPIC.

Tom Brown isn't perfect only because some of the more open holes, though still solid, have a slight filler feel to them (1,3,5,13,14). It's also busy--playgrounds, a dog park, picnicking, tennis and racquetball courts. But that keeps other family members busy while you play!

Fast approaching 60 with a weakening arm, I thank God for the short tees. Also, often lacking time for 24 holes, I've taken to parking near 5, playing 5-9 then A-F, then finishing 10-11 back to my car, a fantastic-though-strenuous 13 hole round. Maybe that's why the second practice basket was put by 5? Tom Brown and Jack McLean Parks make Tallahassee a solid DG destination. There's also a worthwhile private 18-hole course north of town not on DGCR yet. Plantation something...find it on udisc and make a reservation! It has the biggest cow pie mound I've ever seen LOL.

Tom Brown was the first disc golf course I ever played. Went over to Play It Again Sports, bought three used discs, and started chucking on pre-revamp hole 1. Fell in love from there.

Tom Brown has its pros and cons... mostly pros, though.

+ Great hole diversity. Like, really great. Some open, some partially open, some wooded, some long wooded, some dogleg wooded, some open bomber, some water. It's got it all.
+ Usually pretty darn well kept. COVID-19 has taken its toll recently and it's pretty overgrown (as early May). Still, it's absolutely worth playing.
+ Signage/paths between holes is pretty solid. Tee signs disappear somewhat frequently, but as a whole, it's pretty navigable. The foot traffic path should give you a general idea as to where the next tee is.
+ Trash cans and benches are decent. They're recently added more benches and a few more trash cans.
+ Tee pads are concrete and good size. They recently redid a few in order to make them more flush with the ground to prevent ankle destruction.
+ New baskets... don't remember what kind, but they're 'Merica colors and catch discs pretty well.
+ Two cards, either 18 or 24 holes depending on if you want your round ruined by the letter holes. Only kidding, definitely play them if you're visiting Tom Brown. They're challenging but good.

-- Litter is a bit of an issue. There are a decent number of trash cans, but the volume of people at Tom Brown is just hard to condense into the ~5 trash cans on 24 holes. I'm not saying that means throw your trash on the ground, but there could be a few more. Please don't litter.
-- As mentioned before, some tee signs are missing. As a local, this doesn't affect me at all, but it can definitely be irritating to visitors/new players.
-- Not the easiest for beginners, but still reasonable. If you're a local and TB is your first disc golf course, you'll develop into a pretty darn good player if committing the time to practice.
-- Tom Brown is a public multi-purpose park. You will run into some completely oblivious pedestrians. Yeah, frolf isn't the biggest sport and you may not realize you're picnicking in the fairway. From my experience, which is sorta disappointing, a lot of them aren't the most receptive to moving when you holler. Oh, and you'll run into some terribly parked cars. If you're lucky, you'll see the coveted "car parked on the tee pad".

Go. Go go go. Play Tom Brown. Then play Jack when you think you've defeated Tom Brown. You'll be back begging for forgiveness when Jack whoops your ass.

Seriously though, I think Tom just got crowned #1 in Florida. I haven't played enough courses in FL to decisively say I agree with that, but it's seriously excellent.

The Baskets are all in great shape
Some of the best tees I've played on. The Parks and Rec in Tallahassee cares about Disc Golf
Great mix of terrain
Plenty of challenging wooded shots
Great elevation for Florida
The Am and Pro tees both offer a challenge
It's a busy park but people rarely get in the way
Lots of beautiful and signature holes
The Letter holes have a great and challenging design

Sometimes they let the grass get too high on Hole B and C
The course ends with not as much shade as it starts, but it's Florida it is going to be hot
I wish they utilized the lake on a hole
There are a couple of impossible birdies from the Am tees
The long pin on hole 4 could use some clearing out

Overall this course is great and a lot of fun to play. In the summer it can really zap your energy don't you dare forget your water bottle. The best holes on the course are 8, 9, A, C, E,F,and 18. This is one of my favorite courses I've played, I'm a sucker for beautiful courses so this course isn't my absolute favorite since it isn't stunning like some other courses I've played, but it is a great compliment to Jack Mclean in my opinion.

For Florida, great elevation change.
New layout provides nice shade.
Awesome use of the Park, not intrusive to other park users

Old layout allowed you to start on hole 1 or hole 9
The heavily wooded areas have vines, poison ivy etc.

This is probably as of the time I'm writing this, the best course I have ever played. There are a lot of great holes here that make you think "wow this is a great hole".

Brand new tee pads on almost almost every single hole, and brand new Discatcher baskets.

There is still some overgrowth that makes it extremely difficult if you get off the fairway, but that just forces you to make great shots, and is not necessarily a bad thing.

I would go out of my way to play this course any chance I get
