Pros:
1. Rolling hills and changes in elevation make for some new challenges for many Florida disc golfers
2. On-site restroom facilities
3. New Innova DISCatcher baskets
4. Scorecards and Course Maps available from Pro Shop or Starter
5. Good challenge for beginner and intermediate players
6. Good signage with accurate representation of pin location and surrounding trees / obstacles
Cons:
1. Majority (16/18) of tee boxes are grass, others (2/18) are carpet
2. Crowded, open field layout with no mid-point rest stop
3. No garbage cans or benches along the course
4. Limited challenges for advanced or pro players
5. Innova DISCatcher baskets (I don't like them, so this may not be a con for you!)
Other Thoughts:
This is an interesting short to mid distance course with a lot of wide-open spaces to shape your shots however you see fit. It's a converted golf course, so you don't have the tree canopy that you would find at other Central Florida courses...this course would be HOT on a summer day. There are a few technical spots on the course requiring some accuracy (#9 slight uphill with low canopy and dogleg left, for instance), but the overall challenge is provided by the sparse (but well placed) trees and the rolling hills. The overall course layout is tolerable, but is not the preferred (by me) double loop (where you can take a break half way through the round). There are a number of instances where you can see multiple baskets from your tee box (think open field with lots of baskets!)...and there are at least 2 (#7, #8, and #9) blind throws where the basket cannot be seen from the tee box...so first-timers on the course may inadvertantly throw at the wrong basket. If this course were to get busy, it could be somewhat dangerous due to the crowded feel and close proximities of the fairways. In the end, I felt the course was a "Reasonable" disc golf course with a tolerable layout, adequate challenge, and decent facilities. The things about the course that prevented a better score were the lack of shade (and technical challenges provided by trees), lack of water hazards, lack of concrete tee pads, and pay to play. If I'm going to pay to play disc golf, I'd like to have an experience that isn't available at the free courses...this course just doesn't provide that for me. If you live in Apopka, this may be the best thing available to you in the immediate area, but if you don't mind a short drive, you'll find a better disc golf experience at other Central Florida courses.
