Nice 9 holer 
Pros: Dual Concrete pads per hole.
Multiple pin positions with signs that seemingly tell you which position by showing you the throwing line.
A decent variety for a 9 holer.
Some really nice, cool Florida shade on some holes.
The guy who lives on the park grounds maintains the park to the best of his ability and also supplies bugspray at the rules sign...very cool.
A cool ace board with little wooden tokens available to write your name on if you make one...pretty cool feature.

Cons: Only 9 holes?
Very narrow fairways...see below.

Other Thoughts: There is a guy who lives on park grounds and maintains the park...apparently he doesn't even play but he takes good care...so given those conditions the narrow fairways are understandable.
We met a really cool guy who gave my stepson a disc and traded for another, we sat and talked for nearly an hour, a very cool experience.
This course has way more amenities than most 9 holers in GA so we were very impressed. It is hard to get used to Florida obstacles (thick prickly brush) vs. GA obstacles (mostly elevation and pine) but it was a welcome change. The old trees with the moss hanging off is a nice site to us "northerners"

Pros: The park is very attractive and relaxing with a nice view of the water. Thus far there aren't other activities in the park, so there are no issues with pedestrian traffic on the course.
The tees are great, the signs are the best in the business, there are no safety issues, no flow problems, and the navigation is very easy.
Schule is minimal and there's almost no chance of losing a disc.
For a fairly new course, it is drawing a good amount of play and appeals to a range of ages and skill levels.

Cons: The park gets pretty swampy/buggy during rainy times.
Most of the holes are fairly average in character. There's a lot of untapped potential on that land. I understand that room has been saved for another nine that may be constructed at some point in the future, but it seems that a more interesting layout could have been designed while still leaving room for more holes.
I don't fault the designer for creating the two sets of tees for the red and white level, but I think there could also have been blue and gold tees designed, even if they were only natural. It does not appear that there is room on most of the holes to add these at some point in the future.

Other Thoughts: This is my "home" course and I play it frequently. It's a very good place to practice during the day when the park's usually empty. It is a very nice, relaxing place to play and a welcoming introduction to the sport for new players.
Note: I automatically deduct .5 points from 9 hole courses. If another 9 of comparable quality goes in this park, the review will go up to a 3/5.
Remember: Don't be a dirty disc golfer. If you pack it in, pack it out!

Great Course 
Pros: I really enjoyed this course, it has a great mix of short to medium shots. Some are technical and some aren't. Every hole is different and plays well for new players and long time players. The red tees were great for my girlfriend, she had a blast because they were short and she could get par. The white tees offer a bit more distance and make the shots more technical. The place is well kept up and there are no opportunities to really lose you discs. The tee signs and next hole signs are amazing, the even tell you where to go for if the hole has multiple tees. It's in a great park the setup is amazing.
Cons: umm none, well I just hope they upgrade to 9 holes one day. The land is there to do it.
Other Thoughts: here is a great link with pictures and information http://discorlando.com/coursedebary.html

Great course for a nine holer 
Pros: This course is relatively new and although it's only nine holes it was worth my 45 minute drive to go to it. The wide open holes are nice but the wooded areas are beautiful and can be pretty technical. There are two tees per hole so it makes a fun 18.
Cons: The only thing I will say bad about this course is that it needs to be 18 holes.
Other Thoughts: Hopefully there are plans to upgrade this course to 18. Pics coming soon.

Disc Golf reaches DeBary, FL

Pros: Easy to navigate with your legs and your discs.
Plays quickly. Great tee pads and signs.
Neither intimidating to new players nor boring for avid players. 3 minutes from I-4.

Cons: White tee pads could be longer. A couple of tee pads were positioned incorrectly. No restrooms or water (yet) since it is a brand new park. Bring water.
Still needs some clean up as of late 03-08. Oil company owns easement through park and will have more piping projects throughout 2008.
Park is in 2nd lowest grid in the county, so there will probably be standing water in the rainy season. Gortex is your friend.

Other Thoughts: It's a fairly rare opportunity for disc golf to be the first amenity in a park. Such is the case with River City Nature Park. The parks director had played and when he visited the Innova booth at the Florida Recreation and Parks Association convention, he understood that disc golf would be the perfect inexpensive way to utilize the land without developing it. Not a single living tree over an inch wide was cut in the making of this course.
Located almost exactly halfway between Orlando and Daytona, RCNP perfectly bridges that gap.
Designed by 87 PDGA champ, Gregg Hosfeld of Florida Disc Golf Design, this "Entry-level" 9 holer features two sets of very grippy concrete tee pads at the red and white levels. Although an avid player can expect to be putting for deuce on most holes from the short (red) tees, the longer "white" tees stretch out enough to give an advanced player a bit more of a challenge. Designed to stress basic disc golf skills, RCNP will rarely punish a well-executed throw.
Located within eyeshot of the St. John's river, RCNP-DGC is a compact 9-holer that may well be in contention as one of the best "lunch-break" courses in Florida. From the red tees a duo can expect to complete the track within 30 minutes while often feeling as if they are the only people for miles. A wide variety of flora, including pines, palms and live oaks provide shade as well as a reminder of how Florida once was. Keep an eye out for the wild turkeys that roam the property.
You won't need GPS to navigate this track. This is one of the best "signed" courses anywhere. "Next-tee" directional signs after each hole and beautiful full color tee signs (short tees only) will give you more info than you need since they list pin positions to be installed at a later date.
(Only one pin position per fairway in the first phase)
Hole #1 is a wide-open, "welcome" hole that looks easier than it plays.
Hole #2 is also wide open on the left side. However, the basket is set just a few feet from a creek with some nasty vines. DON'T GO RIGHT on your drive!
Hole #3 gives a high/low route-choice to a pin position under what may be the oldest and coolest of the live oaks at RCNP.
Hole #4 offers a straight tunnel under the oak boughs or a loftier left to right shot while never leaving the tree canopy.
Hole #5 is a fairly open straight shot that could find trouble to the left. A wider hyzer option is available from the white tee.
Hole #6 has two very diverse tees and is the only par 4 in the first phase. The red tee offers both hyzer and "annie" angles to an open area that should provide a shot into the liberal gap through the woods to the pin. And although the pin rests at a "reachable" 380', going for it is usually a sucker-bet.
The white tee offers no such reward. A strong, slow right turn to the open should provide the follow-up shot to attack the pin.
Hole #7's well-protected pin can be reached with a low-n-slow-turning left to right shot or a big arching right to left spike.
Hole #8 is a signature tunnel shot through the oaks. A reverse view of the fairway reveals 5 oaken arches.
Hole #9 brings you back to the parking area with an open shot with the basket 20 feet beyond 4 well divided palms that look as if they are the living embodiment of the ATT "more bars in more places" commercials.
Newer players are likely to enjoy "more pars in more places" on River City Nature Park's disc golf course than most other Florida courses. Look for activities from both the Orlando and Daytona clubs. Parks dept offers rental discs (at their office in another park)
