"A" for Presentation 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 19, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Layout: Parking, Entrance, Signage are all top notch. Very easy to navigate each hole (The trail leading to hole 1 with the fork in the road leading to White or Blue Tee Pads is a nice touch)

- Options: Having multiple tee pads and pins on each hole offers welcomed variety on this course. Different ways to play each hole is awesome. You can come and play this 18 hole course 4 different times and have a slightly different look at the hole each time.

- Size: This is a pretty monstrous course with several 500 - 800 ft holes which allowed for some versatility to be shown within the bag. You can definitely flex the muscles here. This is a great way to get your exercise in for the day is a round at this place.

- Scenic: The course itself is very well maintained and you can see the people around here take pride in the upkeep of this park. The Signature Oaks of the Lake County area are plentiful here and bring a lot of character in shot shaping to this course. Very Beautiful area overall.

Cons:

- Lack of Elevation: This course is relatively flat which is not a huge surprise for a Central FL course but it is always nice to have a few holes with some slight change in elevation to mix things up a little.

- Repetitive: While every hole on the course is very pleasing to play...toward the middle & end of the round we felt as many of the holes were too similar (Huge bomb drives traversing the Oaks is the main theme of each hole).

- Difficulty: It looked well for our score card, but the course definitely plays a little on the easy side when it came to many of the par 4's. A few holes we questioned if they should be a par 4 since they were fairly easy to get to the pin in a couple of shots.

- Hazards: Not much in the way of hazards other than the trees and one very small pond near the end. Some either natural OB or some added water hazards would boost my favor of my overall rating for the course.

- Walking: I found the huge distances between some of the holes as far as walking from Pin to next tee were a detriment to the flow of the course.

Other Thoughts:

Another quality course in the Lake County Disc Golf Trail...Immediately after pulling in seeing the level of detail put into this place we knew it was going to be a great place to play some golf.

This is my 3rd course played in this area and have nothing but good things to say about each. This course appeals to the grip and rip crew for sure and certainly gives the feeling of a championship course.

We made the 1.5 hour drive over from Daytona to play it and afterwards were both glad we did. This is a must play course for this area... Well maintained and a quality piece of land for a Disc Golf Course.

Nice long course with multiple tees and baskets 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 24, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

Long Tee pads, 2 baskets per hole. Good for any skill level. You would benefit from being able to drive >300 as there are some wide open holes where you can choose any line you'd like. Beautiful park to walk around and well groomed for the most part.

Cons:

Lots of bugs, tough to concentrate when tees were under trees and had to wave off mozzies before prepping to throw.

Other Thoughts:

Good good signage basically follow all arrows they will lead you to the next hole. Just have a little faith (ie it's a long walk to #2 tee) but the signs are true.

White to Gold was a challenging course for me (eternal beginner with some natural talent) especially hole 2,3,4 which I managed to double bogie. The back 9 was much nicer as I was able to make up 2 strokes.

Watch for invisible water on 16 left of pins. Some the grossest slimy green water that you do not want to dig your disc out of

The blue tees on 18 are actually easier than the white tees.

Bathroom is chock-full of mosquitoes, but nice facilities.
