Pros:
The Falling Creek Red course is the secondary course to Falling Creek Yellow . Good amenities here . Large parking lot . A nice bathroom before you descend onto the course , even a place to fill water .Disc golf sign at the top of the hill . Nice stone benches along the park . A great touch . The tee pads are wood lined pavers , about 3 1/2 X 10' ? I hear they get slick with early morning dew or rain , but I had no problems when I was there . They look nice . The signage is good , with hole # distance , par and flight path . The baskets are red poled Chainstars that catch well . There is also red spray paint on the bottom rung of the baskets to point to next tee .
The first few holes start out park style , the first being downhill and breaking left .The next tee is to your far right and throws that way . It is a long rolling hole , where 3 brings you back to where you started , but at the bottom of the hill . The first 7 holes stay park style and are easy to navigate ( print a map to be safe ) . The next holes aren't woods , but they aren't open , either . Good mix of shots that go right or left , upwars , some down , tunnel shots . The course is very popular with the locals . I saw quite a few people out on the course when I was playing . Even though the course plays fair , it is not overly long or tight . This might bore some of the more seasoned players , unless they are working on specifics . For the rest of us , the reason to come here is for the fun factor . Each shot is unique .
Some fun holes : #4 comes from where you tee off at the edge of the woods , then have to split opening in the trees which line some of the fairways ( uphill some and 435' ) #8 is a downhill putter shot over a small creek . #10 goes uphill an into a small doorway into the woods . 18 goes downhill over a creek bed and through a narrow doorway to an open fairway . Then you have to hyzer your 2nd shot into a woods section to the basket that is about 50' + in the woods , guarded by several trees . Good design , good fun . Even saw deer , squirrels and rabbits around the course .Enough elevation to give you a workout .
Disc Risk : because the park is so well taken care of , and the creek is low , disc risk is low to moderate . Signature hole : mine was #18 , the downhill run to the doorway over the creek . I played this course within about an hour . Figure a group of 4 to play 2 hours .
Cons:
Dual tees in usage , so there may be a wait on a busy day . The previous reviewers say that the nice looking pavers become very slick when wet . You may want to test , then move off to the grass if it is a danger . Bugs are bad , especially in the warmer months . You may want to bring spray and look for ticks after .
The course may not be challenging enough for the pros or good intermediates ( I think they can get something out of this ) .
Other Thoughts:
Do Not look for the split off after #9 for the red tee section . When I played , and I was with one of the course builders , they moved the baskets back to alternate locations and you Still share the same tee pad throughout the whole 18 . He also stated that the park was intending on pulling the red course in the near future and storing the baskets . This resembles some courses in the Orlando area that have 2 pin positions per hole ( count it as one course , but ,,,,, ) , but it makes the course stand out , and keeps people at the course longer , because the locations split different ways . I was here for 2 1/2 hours total for these courses and glad I came . If you liked it , make sure you email the Falling Creek Park people and tell them so . My Recommendation : A good course to spend a whole morning , afternoon or evening . A little much for families or dates , but great for newbies , locals , enthusiasts , course baggers ( 2 for 1 ) , intermediates , even some sharpening holes for the pros . Play It !!!
