Bring back the trees 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 27, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Great time on the front 9.... basket #5 was nowhere to be found & #6 gave no indication of misnumber! #5 was moved to back 9
Even though the course was relatively flat, it made use of some slight terrain. #11 played over a soccer field w/ the basket tucker right up a few steps, hillside :) Nice benches every few holes. Clear tee signs on front half

Cons:

Avoid #12-18! There has been a massive clearing which seemed to take a ton of challenge out of the course BUT even more frustrating was navigating. There were tee markers w/ orange tape at the top of them but no general direction of flow. The semi chipped floor made for uncomfortable traverse & disc dig.

Other Thoughts:

UWF will hopefully turn the back of this course in to something half as nice as the front!?! Fingers are crossed

Wow 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 18, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice college campus. Baskets all in good shape.

Cons:

Like my title says, Wow. Course on a very nice college campus but that's where it ended. Tee's except for one I believe, which happened to be on a walking path, were non existent. The dirt that was supposed to be tees were worn down to tree roots and were very unsafe. The front nine were playable, the back nine were a complete joke. No upkeep and very little imagination in tee/pin placement. NO directions from baskets to the next tee made it EXTREMELY confusing on where the next tee was. Course covers a lot of ground and without signage, you are pretty much lost without a guide, which I did not have.

Other Thoughts:

Potential is there, could be a fabulous course, but without someone taking the reins, this course will only go further downhill.

University of West Florida 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 15, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

Vast difference in the front and back nine. Front 9 is fairly open while the back 9 is mostly wooded. Nice difference in hole difficulty between the 9s.

Cons:

Poorly marked course. Hard to navigate the course without a map. Even the map (from the University's website) isn't 100% accurate. Most tees are in bad shape with tree roots exposed on the dirt patch hole where the tee is located. Back nine needs lots of maintenance work in the tee box area and on some fairways..

Other Thoughts:

If the course were marked better and maintained better, it COULD be a nice, average course.
