Great time on a marginal course 2+ years

Pros:

Ocean views and access for swimming.
Lots of interesting wildlife.
Variety of cool plants.

Cons:

Many areas in and around the course have been roped off as Natural Areas designated for regrowth. A couple of baskets are within a few feet of these roped off areas, making for a lot of unfair OB. And one basket (#7) is actually inside one of the roped off areas, making it unplayable. (So I got creative and played tee #7 to basket #8 as a par 4.)

Other Thoughts:

I had a great time at this course because of the environment it is in, but to do so I had to drop any notion that I was playing a "round" of disc golf. It's a place to kick around and practice throwing discs in a unique and enjoyable location.

Pros:

In a very smart decision, all holes that border the swamp feature it on the right side of the fairway, so new players are much less likely to land where there are very clearly crocodiles. Baskets and tees are adequate and holes are usually short enough to see the basket anyways. From 3 on, this is not a bad course for beginners. It's easy and open and it's nice enough atmosphere right by the beach. Not a bad place for veterans to throw a few discs around if you are going to the beach as well. (Although none should be advised to come just to play.) Wide open spaces to launch discs and check out the flight paths and sunny Florida skies make the park worth a stop.

Cons:

1 and 2 are pretty bad. 1 throws right at a building. 2 is aimed right at some brush. And yeah, though it should be avoidable, I'm not sure if new players (and that's who the course is suited for) should be throwing or retrieving discs anywhere near crocodiles. The fact that that there is not onewarning sign but well over twenty indicate the threat is not idle.
But basically, it's just a beginner course that isn't very interesting.
