Pros: Best course In Southern NJ. The holes were varied, challenging and well thought out. Some of the narrow fairways on the front nine can be punishing. Excellent use of elevation on the back nine, driving up, down and across small valleys was great. Some of the front 9 (holes 7, 8, 9, 10) have very interesting terrain, shallow trenches and mounds that the fairways follow can lead to rolls that go either way. I enjoyed seeing the pins that have been built up on steps by the local club. 2 tees per hole added an additional challenge, some varying only in fairway ease, some varying greatly in distance, a few (1, 4, 14, 15) completely changed the look of the hole.

Cons: The tees. With all the effort that has been put into this course tee improvement is a much needed next step. Dirt tees are alright if nothing else, but at least put some signage in. Or posts to mark the tees. Nothing bugs me more (except for litter) then wandering around a course looking for 2 small bricks in the ground, which may or may not be covered with leaves and dirt. If you haven't played here before definitely print out the map. ***UPDATE*** Signs guiding to each tee have been added and are very helpful along with the occasional sign pointing out which basket to throw to (hole 8) Additionally, the bricks in the ground have been slightly elevated and cleared off to help with visibility. Excellent upgrade. Aside from putting in signage and maps at each tee, this is as good as you can get. Nice work.

Other Thoughts: Tees aside I thoroughly enjoyed this course. Anytime I'm passing through the area I will stop here and heck, will make some trips just for crystal lake DG.

Pros: All holes have brand new signage making navigating the course much easier and the brick that mark the tee boxes are now elevated and repainted. There are two tee boxes from which to throw from. The holes are constantly being reworked to improve the course. There are some challenging holes on the back nine in thick woods that make the course more fun. There is a large array of shots for every difficulty varying from short and narrow to grip and rip. Be careful though as this course is played around a lake and I have seen a fair number of discs take a dive. Near a small strip mall and lots of restaurants so if hungry afterwards you can eat while the wife shops;)

Cons: Three of the holes on the back nine are played through a paintball course, which is normally free of players but if they are there they will more than likely halt play so that you can play through(this has happened to me twice). Some of the tee boxes are hard to find if you havent been there before. Tee boxes are dirt and the white tees are really unsmooth on most of the holes. Hole 18 is completely covered in about two foot tall weeds and brush, It's almost impossible to find your disc.

Other Thoughts: Hole information is on bricks on the ground so you might need to spend some time looking for the tees. Hole 1 white tees are from the small tree by the entrance for the parking lot. The yellow tee for hole one is next to one of the benches over the water. Several holes have been redone lately including hole 7 (tiers and walkway to #8), new teepads for #8, fairway expanded on #9, 12, 13, and 15.

Pros: great mix of tees....elevation and overall terrain. Some intense tunnel shots.

Cons: Green arrows all over are NOT for DG!! Teeing off over roads is not enjoyable either. Watch out for cars!!

Other Thoughts: lotsa land to use. Got there midday and course was covered by local scouts cleaning the course. Thank you guys!

Pros: All kinds of shots, accuracy needed for some holes, others you can just grip and rip. 2 tees per hole.

Cons: No tee signs. Impossible to find tees and some holes with out searching. I first went from tee 5 to hole 9. Tee markers are painted bricks in the ground.

Other Thoughts: I stopped on my way to Wildwood from Phillly. It's pretty much half way. Provided a nice break from driving. I had no problem with paint ballers but saw where they were. Holes 16 was stolen as on (7/16/08) and 15 was ripped out and hidden. They were replaced with "Skill-shots." They seem from talking to park mantaince like they will be back real soon.

Pros: Nice variety of many different shots needed. Gauntlets, hyzers, annies, carries, distance, even rollers. Hole 11, going over, under and through trees, was my favorite. In addition to excellent design, they are upgrading... the newest addition being a stepped pin on #6. 2 tees on every hole for added variety.

Cons: Some tees were hard to find (bricks in ground), with minimal signage. Paintballers a problem on back nine. Agreed that I would not try hole 1 from the back tees. Some holes seem unfair, such as hole 13 up a hill with a random assortment of trees in the fairway. 18 fairway is completely overgrown (as of May 2008)

Other Thoughts: It's very much in a public park, but also very much a disc golf course with excellent, challenging holes. I am growing to enjoy this course, and have a love/hate relationship with some holes, such as white #4...the most ridiculous gauntlet I've ever seen. Note that the name seems to have been changed to Crystal Lakes DGC.

Pros: Good variety of shots required, some open, some fairly tight with slight elevation changes. Great novice course from white tees but will also challenge seasoned golfers from the yellow as well. Scenic views, peaceful setting.

Cons: Bathrooms are always locked
A running water faucet would be nice.

Other Thoughts: Update 7/2011 - New tee posts on all white tees are very visible, tee areas are being upgraded slowly. Course map will soon be updated as hole #1 on map has been deleted. New hole #1 is hole #2 on current map,
Here is the new run down on tee areas
Hole 1 is old 2
Hole 2 is old 3
Hole 3 is old 4
Hole 4 is old 5
Hole 5 is old 6
Hole 6 is old 7
Hole 7 is old 8 which has been lengthened
Hole 8 is old 10 (old 9 is deleted)
Hole 9 is old 11
Hole 10 is old 12
Hole 11 is new, follow path to right of previous basket
Hole 12 is old 13
Hole 13 is old 14
Hole 14 is old 15 with new pin location (straight and up hillside with new steps)
Hole 15 is old 16
Hole 16 is old 17
Hole 17 is new, follow road to left, righty hyzer shot to pin in field behind grouping of trees
Hole 18 is same on white tee, new yellow tee shortened a bit inside group of trees.

Pros: Ok guys, you thought South Jersey was dead.....think again. South Vineland Disc Golf Course has everthing you want and more. Water, elevation, long, short, open, tight, left, right, you ask for it and this course delivers. Multiple tees compliment this exceptionally thought out course. Come see for yourself.

Cons: Tee signs are not complete. There were no maps available, so if you don,t see any when you arrive, all you have to do is ask someone.

Pros: Challenging yet fair course. The pin positions maximize the potential of the land. Superb design and great use of elevation change.

Cons: Grass tee pads. #14 a little unrealistic (extreme dogleg left from the back tees) but still enjoyable. Signage is reliable for the most part, though I got lost looking for #14 and never found the teepad for #18 (though I did find the basket)

Other Thoughts: I traveled from my home in Georgia to visit my parents in New Jersey. Unfortunately, the states does not offer many disc golf coursesm, especially in the part my parents lived. I discovered that Vineland had two courses. I made the 25 minute drive to Landis Park first. It was straightforward and not very exciting. I almost decided not to proceed to South Vineland Park due to the chilly weather, but decided I might as well play since I was in the neighborhood. It was the best decision of my vacation thus far. South Vineland Park is one of my two favorite courses (the other is Sandy Creek Park in Athens, GA). The grin on my face grew larger after each hole. It is truly an exceptional course.
