Palm Beach's Finest

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Nov 25, 2023 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

18 hole course with multiple tees on every hole. Course starts out in the woods for the first 8 holes offering very tight tunnel shots, forehand and backhand holes, and a couple of nice par fours that will require two precise shots to card your birdie. Holes 9-15 are fairly open, a couple of additional par fours mixed in with some shorter par threes, with OB and water lurking on many of the holes. Finally, the over the lake shot awaits on hole 16, setting you up for a tight par four and a fun finishing hole with an elevated basket. Ten meter circle marked on every hole, and two basket positions on nearly every wooded hole allow for a great variety of disc golf to be had. Tee signs are new and really nice. Concrete tees have been poured on every hole.

Cons:

The open field holes constantly get chewed up by off road ATV's, which can cause a run-up or stance issue should your drive end up there. Mosquitos will be a problem more often than not. Course drains poorly in a couple of areas. Be careful with the cypress stumps on 7 and 8. 9A will often be unplayable as many park there to fish in the lake nearby. No restrooms or water (there are porta-johns not far from 11's long pad).

Other Thoughts:

Honestly, I've played nearly everything else south Florida has to offer. If you could only play one course in your time here, Delray has to be it. The variety of holes, the par fours with specific landing zones, and everything else combines to separate Delray from the other good courses Palm Beach County has to offer.

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 25, 2019 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

All pro's and con's listed here are also being worked on:
-Excellent combination of tight wooded holes and open fairways
-Very well marked (Red arrows mark next TEE position, not Mandos)
-Fairways on wooded holes are being cleared out of any remaining brush leaving a clean fairways on the early wooded holes.
-Multiple baskets in play, not one basket moved to different positions per round)
-Multiple color coded pin positions (long - green / short - yellow) on most holes
-Most holes have signs with correct pin placements and distances. Signs are being added with the progress of the course
-Currently installing cementboard teepads, and the holes that don't have an installed teepad, have the tee location marked and cleared out

Cons:

-The signs for the holes still have the locations of the previous layout. Be sure to follow the red arrows to the next tee
-The park lies agains the Everglades which presents the potential danger of alligators and snakes. (We've been warned several times about the alligators in the water, but have yet to see one)

Other Thoughts:

At the time of writing this, the course has been completely overhauled by the Palm Beach Disc Golf group and is a work in progress.
I've avoided this course given its rough reviews about overgrowth, unkemptness, and wildlife until the other day at a different course, a player asked if I'd played there. After he'd explained it's upgraded condition, I decided to give it a shot and was VERY happy with the results and progress so far. Looking forward to seeing it develop.
