When I finally reached the actual course and saw the four practice baskets kind of haphazardly spaced, once again I sensed trouble. And as I started playing the course and saw the laminated tee signs, once again I sensed navigational difficulties. The course just has this vibe of rustic-ness or maybe having been built on a tight budget.

The park itself is kind of a wonderland with all these different activities going on. There were guys taking off and landing in their ultralight aircraft. There was a field area for RC cars. Closer to the actual start of the course, there was a airport for RC small airplanes and it was filled with flyers. And a little farther on by the lake was a place for driving your RC boats on the water. I found all these activities too damn interesting to ignore and could have spent a lot of time just enjoying watching all of them.

I think this course probably should have two different rating categories, one for players playing it with a local guide and another for us poor saps attempting to play it solo for the first time. Unfortunately, I fell into the poor sap category so my experience was not so pleasant. The on-line map is not up to date so navigation here is mostly crazy with all these alternate baskets. Often time, I wasn't sure which way or to which basket I was playing too.

The first 7 or 8 holes are tight and technical. Although, semi-confusing to follow, I liked them. The open middle stretch of the course (9-12) was where I decided I was checked out. # 9 was actually a pretty setting for the basket placement. As I was trying to find my way, I discovered some little pink markers for tees, old white trashed baskets and sometimes, I never located the baskets. After several long walks ahead trying to locate the next basket, I was done and just ready to be finished here and go watch the RC pilots do their thing. # 18 featured a very cool basket placement up this small hill.

I'm mighty impressed that the laminated signs have held up, they usually get quickly torn down.

Inconsistent tee pads.

The course is just kind of dingy. It needs to have the junk hauled away.

Get rid of the white alternate baskets. They're rusty and are eyesores.

Around # 7 is an old discarded basket in the bushes. Gees, get it out of here. Let someone take it home and use it for their practice basket.

I'm sure if I had had a local guide, my experience here would have been much better. Recent reviews have been more impressive than earlier ones. The Palm Beach DGC seems to be an active organization. Even with the navigational and funding issues you must be facing here, the bones are here for a above average course. It's not a 4.0 course but I also don't believe it's a 1.79 rated one either. It's currently kinda average but with some potential to be better. That potential just hasn't quite been tapped into yet.

Speaking as someone new to the sport,
This is a tough course. Very challenging par 62.

course is a work in progress. Course description is on the links file, but when on the course some of the tee boxes/holes are not easy to find.

Course starts out very tough on first two holes, going through trees and tunnels. Holes 3-9; 15-17 are more in the open. 10-14 are through disc eating trees that require a lot of skill.
