Course Decent, but not in my top 10. 2+ years drive by
Reviewed:
Played on:Oct 29, 2020
Played the course:2-4 times
Pros:
1. Easy to find.
2. Both A and B tees are cement. If you find one, it is easy to find the other.
Since I throw 250-270, I played the B tees (I am an older player with a limited arm).
3. Plenty of tall trees come into play, but the course is not Technical at all. Sooner or later, a tree will bite your disc and boldly send it where you don't want it to go.
Now the best part ... Playing some of the holes make the trip worth it.
4. Water holes add challenge and fear.
5. I loved #7. This hole is hi risk/hi reward.
It says 233 feet (all over water), but it plays longer than that. I was facing a pretty stiff head-wind.
The pin is strategically placed under a disc-rejecting-tree. I went for it and lost a disc to the gators. I will never go near that pond.
6. #15 has 2 ponds and the trees will taunt your throw. Make sure you hit the gap right.
7. The rough on #11 and #12 is BRUTAL. Do what you need to stay in the fairway.
8. #10 from the A tee is a fun challenge at the long pin.

Cons:
1. I played by myself arriving about 9:30 in the morning. Homeless addicts slowly waking up hanging out in the shelter houses kind of freaked me out.
I sat in the car for about 20 minutes trying to get up the nerve to play.
I used the time to find a decent map of the hole layout. I should have known to just use U-Disc. I finally got up the courage to start out and then got help from a couple locals. I felt better after that and started my round.
I won't play alone again unless the park is busy.
2. Layout is pretty confusing, and that was after I used U-Disc. While looking for the next hole, I got lost multiple times. I got help from locals a couple times.
3. Totally flat course, but then what isn't flat in Florida? That lack of variety starts to make the holes repetitive.
4. The A and B tee pads were only 50 feet apart in most cases. What is the point of that? I like multiple tee pads to change the hole.
5. This course was not that challenging for me. The pin is usually out of my range, so I was shooting for a lot of easy 3s.
6. None of the holes made me fear getting a 4 (although I got some).
7. I only had to throw an An-hyser shot once (Approach on #10).
8. After #12, the holes just seemed long and open.

Other Thoughts:
The course is alright for a park course. I have played several courses that were installed to improve positive foot traffic in crime areas so that is not surprising. It was still creepy to start the round by myself. A few holes are worth writing home about. Some holes are better from the A tees, but most are the same from the B tees. I will play it again (and again), but it is not in my top 10.
