Awesome course!!! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 21, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

A true GEM for disc golfers who are wanting to improve their game. The course is laid out in a beautiful heavily wooded park that actually has the best elevation I've seen in Florida. The holes are very intelligently designed to make the most of the elevation and tight openings in the trees. Each hole from #1 to about #11 get progressively more difficult and challenging (if you love a challenge then you will love the course). Some truly memorable holes.... one with a tight tunnel shot on a ridge with about a 10 ft wide fairway and about a 15 foot drop off on each side.... another shot where the basket rests at the top of a 25 foot high ridge with only about a 4 foot wide green and another 25 ft drop off on the other side.... and then the next tee is at the top of that ridge with the basket about 300 feet down another tight fairway. And the best part is that you are completely isolated from the rest of the park in a dense forest.... very tranquil! :)

Cons:

Not a beginner friendly course!! My friend who played with me commented that we would have hated the course about a year ago when we didn't know how to throw a midrange on a straight line for 280 ft. Not a course where you need your drivers. Probably only one hole that I threw a driver, but not all courses need to have every shot for it to be a great course. :) One thing I would add to the course is more signage to show distances and maps of the different holes. Also, we didn't find any signage to point us to the next hole, but we didn't get lost once so it is not hard to stay on the right path.

Other Thoughts:

Probably my favorite course at this time, since I know playing this course will make me a much better player who can throw tight and straight lines. Would actually rate this a 4.0 or 4.5, but since the course has such a low rating currently I just wanted to boost it up a bit so it gets its recognition. ;-) Definitely a must play!!!!
