Pros:
PBR - Yes, the course is better known by its initials and they have disc stamps with a takeoff (copy ?) of the famous PBR logo.
The course plays through a mostly wooded area, with several holes through tight tunnels, to guarded greens and the others through partially wooded fairways. A pond comes into play on a couple of holes, including a significant carry, wooded on the tee side and some clearing on the basket side.
The fairways are all pretty clear, with grass on several. The roughs were thick in a few places, but for the most part, they are thinned out to a good degree.
The baskets, a mix of Chainstars and Mach IIs are in good shape. The tees, a mix of concrete and some carpet are OK, not too wide, just wide enough and good on length. They are also flush to the ground.
The first several and last few holes, have good tee signs, but there is a gap in the middle of the course. About half the holes have two tees, again following the same pattern of the tee signs, more on that later.
Cool little Tournament Central shade area right between #1 and #18, I'm sure this is a great gathering spot during events.
Pretty much a DG only part of the park, it does circle the dog park, but only close on #14. It is a little ways from the nearest restroom, but not too bad.
Cons:
The layout of the holes is good, but definitely overloaded toward the end of the course. The last 4, and 5 of the last 6, are all left to right turning holes. It would be nice to have more variety coming down the stretch. Especially #17, 16 and 17 have been added just across a park road in an area by themselves, 16 pretty much has to go left to right, but #17, with a couple of gaps available, is missing some of the only elevation on the course, a leveled off area about 5 feet above the fairway. Would be nice to see that "elevation" used.
A few of the carpet tees are not in very good shape, #5 and #12 come to mind, luckily, plenty of room to tee beside those.
While it wasn't too difficult to find the tees on holes with no tee signs, keeping the map handy is very helpful in locating them.
Other Thoughts:
I'm pretty sure this started as a 9 hole course (1-4, 5 to 12 basket, 13-15 and 18), with the other 9 added in good spots. This seems to follow the pattern of dual tees and the tee signs, those were installed initially, but since the other 9 were added, that extra infrastructure has not caught up.
There are some good, and fun, holes in the "second nine", #7 is a long Par 3 at 350', that turns left and goes through scattered trees. Once of the few true right to left holes on the course.
Holes #9-#11 are all in the same area, just partially wooded with some old growth trees and plenty of grass. Several lines to the baskets are available on these holes.
Probably the best hole on the course is #2, longest hole on the course at 400'/550' and listed as a Par 3 (?), a narrow drive to an open grassy area, then over a mound bisecting the fairway, then another 100' or so to the basket, surrounded by trees.
One of several good courses in Brevard County, along the Atlantic Coast. The park is also known as Fred Poppe Regional Park, large, with soccer fields, ball fields, a Community Center and dog park. It is located west of I-95 on Malabar Road. Ironically, the Malabar Park DGC is also on Malabar Road, east of I-95, that course is much smaller with tighter, and thicker rough.
