Pros:
Hittable gaps, just enough terrain, always new pin positions, plenty of trees, creeks, pretty well maintained.
Cons:
Hole 17
Other Thoughts:
First course I played, got me hooked. Hole 1 has swirling winds, don't err straight into the rubble abyss. Hole 2 looks simple: carry the bridge and do not go left or right. Hole 3 is usually an island that should be simple. Hole 4 was my first ace, tomahawk poke-n-hope to the short pin (that funk smell... but the water looks clear,..?). Don't turn one over on hole 5, my favorite hole - new extra long pin rocks! I hate the limbs left on 6. Hole 7 is straightforward: hit the right tree, go in the creek, get double bogey. 8 short is nice, but low clearance. 8 long is a tough par. 9 is great uphill hole. I also hate the tree left on 10. I learned forehand, literally because of 10. Hole 11... those three trees... I have actually hit all three trees in one throw. Hole 12 is my backhand-cut-roller-to-the-parkway special. Hole 13 long is maddening with leaves on the trees. Hole 14 short I can hit metal but no aces. Hole 15 is a really nice hole that hates me. 15a... that one puny crooked sapling! Hole 16 is also a great hole, especially long. Hole 17 (aka 'first available') hates me and I hate it. Hole 18 is the spike hyzer.

Pros:
SETTING: Winding park set long a parkway.
SITE/TERRAIN:
Quality of Land Usage- 25/30
Scenic Beauty- 20/30
Cleanliness- 10/15
COURSE DESIGN:
Variety/ Right Left / Elevation - 20/30 Some elevation on hole 1,4,6,9, 16 otherwise pretty flat. Left 1,5,7,17,18, Right 2,,6, 9,15. Straight 3,4,8,10,11,12,13,14, 15,
Obstacles/Shot Shaping- 20/20 I really like the shot shaping throughout the hole course. Tunnel shots both short and long. Good challenging dog leg right holes.
Signature holes- 35/50: Hole 4 maybe my favorite sub 150 ft shot anywhere. Thick trees but lines that are hittable. Not very often is a tomahawk my go to shot for a hole like that! Hole 5 is fun hole if you play the walking path OB. 6 his a great 300 dog leg right with an elevated tee pad and low ceiling.
Skill levels- 15/20: a challenging but very scorable course. I shot 10 under playing well before the new basket positions. There are more birdies to be had. This is a fantastic intermediate to low level advance course which is perfect for the city of St. Joe and growing sport.
COURSE EQUIPMENT:
Baskets- 30/30: Brand new Mach X
Tee pads: 20/30: Concrete Just slightly shorter side 10-11 feet.
COURSE AMENITIES:
COURSE MAINTENANCE:
Grass and Brush- 25/30: Well taken care of park when I played during mid spring.
FUN FACTOR/ OVERALL Impression : 70/100 I really enjoyed the course. I would rate it 3.5/5 with signs and a new baskets positions.

Cons:
SITE/TERRAIN:
Dedicated use- 10/25 Walking trail comes into play on holes 1,2,3, 5. Decently close to the road on several holes.
COURSE DESIGN:
Multiple Baskets/Tees: 10/30: Single tee pad and basket 14 holes. Multiple baskets on 7, 8, 9, 17 add to the fun factor.
Decision-making/Risk-Reward- 10/20. Not a done of risking or super challenging shots except hole 4.
Safety Issues- 15/20: Creek crossing on 4 now has a permanent bridge as well as hole 7. Hill after hole 4 to the street needs some type of stairs. Holes 8,13,14 are fairly close the a busy parkway type road. Hole 2-3 are on an old walking trail that I saw other people using. Walking trail on hole 5 is OB, but could come into to play.
COURSE EQUIPMENT
Signage- 5/15: Sings in but wrong distances on several holes 8-10 specifically and don't show additional basket positions.
Course Navigation / Flow - 10/20: 1st tee is 200 yards from the closest parking. The walk from 4 to is long and crosses the road. I also had a hard time finding hole 7 tee pad even with he map. Otherwise the course flows well.
COURSE AMENITIES:
Restrooms, Drinking Water, Benches, Parking, Trash Cans- 5/20. Restrooms near the ball fields where the initial parking is located. 200 yard walk to the first tee from the initial parking.

Other Thoughts:
Overall the course gets 350/500 by my rating system. . Like I said earlier, this is a great intermediate to low level advance course which is a great step forward for the St. Joe disc golf scene. Not a huge amount of distance, but still plenty of holes to send a full power shot. I enjoy the new addition of par 4 on 7 and 8 with controlled shots off the drive.
I would love to see hole 1 turned into a long down hill par 4 with a tee pad right across the street from the parking area.
