Cool pasture style course

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 15, 2024 Played the course:once

Pros:

I was looking for a course that wasn't that long and near the highway as I'm getting over a back injury and didn't know how much I could throw and this one fit the bill. From the shorter red tees this one is mainly 200-300ft holes with a few palm trees to miss and OB in the form of a large pond and barbed wire fences around it.

Most of the time if you can throw a forehand and backhand hyzer 250ft(320 from the longs)you have a shot for birdie, and even very stiff and having not played in over a week I was able to shoot -8. Pretty beginner friendly but between all of the OB and deep and murky pond it's not without danger.

There is even one hole that is on a raised platform which was pretty cool and h common for a course like this.

Though not a huge property it has a good variety, and nice tee signs and little next tee arrows on most baskets.

Fun little play and totally different vibe for this part of Florida.

Multiple port a johns in decent shape is pretty cool for a small park like this.

Cons:

A couple of holes cross pretty close to one another, so I could see that being a tournament day issue or when it's busy.

Also, no benches which isn't a huge minus, but dealing with back issues it made me a little sad.

It's simple and straightforward which isn't bad at all, but too much one note to be much above a 3.

Other Thoughts:

Really pretty little course and the pond is very cool. I saw many large turtles and some sort of aquatic mammal like a beaver or something. Didn't get a good look but it was pretty cool.

I did have an odd lost disc scenario. On hole 8 I hit the pole off the tee and my Justice caught an edge and rolled toward the pond. I thought the tall grass might stop it, but it appears the water drops off suddenly and it was nowhere to be found.

Good Florida Summer Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 1, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

Two sets of decent tees and nice informative tee signs. Mostly short to medium-length holes with a few using minor elevation changes. Mostly open but does flirt with the woods a little bit. Nice finishing hole (if you don't land in the mucky ditch). Plenty of water hazards to worry about.

Cons:

The short length could be a con for some otherwise not too many nags.

Other Thoughts:

The short length makes for a good summer round when the heat and humidity are maxed out. I and my crew had a fun round here and everyone enjoyed this course.
