Pros: This course is found on your GPS as Buckhorn Park, and is located at the back of a windy subdivision. It contains nine baskets with the longest hole being 225'. I'm a newish player, and this had value to me for mid and putter practice. The baskets are nice and the directional markers do show where they are located. There is a little tree issue on hole two, but other than that it's wide open. It can be played quickly with all holes aceable/birdieable and makes for a much nicer afternoon than sitting in the house.
Cons: There are no teepads, although this is not that big of a deal with the short shots. It is not difficult, and therefore you don't get much work on different shot types. Due to the lack of trees, the park is windswept, so putting can be hard... This is a multi use park and the course winds by the basketball court, the entry road (over it), the walking track, and the volleyball court. If you do not play early, people WILL be in your way. (or you will be in their way) Hole one is pretty much unplayable when a basketball game is played.
Other Thoughts: If you enjoy throwing in an open field where a basket might get in the way, then this course is for you. You can play easily with one or two discs, or just try different lines on your mids. I had fun here, and if you understand what it offers, then you may too.

Pros: -Entry Level course: Great for beginners, practice, pitch & putt
-Plays quick for anyone wanting a fast round
-Tee marker has distance and arrow pointing to the basket.
-It's a neighborhood course that is available to the locals in the subdivision
-Clean and well maintained
-very easy to navigate
-Kids would probably have a great time playing here.

Cons: -The course plays throughout a neighborhood park, other activities are always a factor.
- Though it plays around the perimeter of the park, park goers can still wander in the line of fire.
-No tee pad, just a marker.
-Throws across a walking trail and the entrance road.
-It's in the heart of a subdivision, and not easily accessed

Other Thoughts: You probably know by now if this is somewhere you want to play. This is a neighborhood rec park course. So I'm not going to be too harsh on it. There is not a lot to this course. It is very small and located in the middle of a labyrinth of a subdivision. It reminded me of a course that would be installed at a summer camp. Simple, easy, and available to everyone. I played this course with a Roc and a putter, and I really didn't need both. It took me about 15 minutes to run through the whole course. No fun factor for me, but then again I saw a group of local neighborhood friends playing here and having a great time.
Unless you live in the neighborhood, there really isn't much of a draw to play here. The only reason that I chose this park was to get another notch in the "Played" belt. You will want a GPS or a map to navigate the subdivision. It's hidden in the middle and not easily accessible. Once I arrived, part of me felt like I was getting the "Who's the stranger?" stare. I was actually surprised to find there wasn't a guard gate at the entrance to the community.
I don't want to end it on a down note, because someone put effort into installing this course. If this course was in my neighborhood, I would have no problem frequenting it, taking people out, introducing them to the sport, or just practicing my game. It's relative to those that have access to it. I wouldn't even consider it a rec course. It's more of a "Fun thing to do at a park" type of course.
Final thought: Not worth the drive, but if I lived in the subdivision I wouldn't complain.

Nice Beginner Course

Pros: A nice little course in a nice neighborhood.
+ Tee signs with distance and direction arrows on them.
+ Very Clean and well maintained park.
+ Holes range from around 160' to 225'. Great for beginners.
+ Ace race for seasoned players. (I hit Metal on one drive)
+ Some usage of available trees to force a little shot diversity.
+ Playground, plenty of garbage cans, and picnic tables.
+ Nice baskets.

Cons: - No restrooms? I didn't see any.
- No tee pads at all. Not a huge deal for a course like this though.
- Walking path, vollyball, soccer fields, basketball, and a playground crammed into a small space, with a disc golf course winding through and around it. Could be a problem during peak park usage.
- Could benifit from a few minor course changes (#9 throws over the entrance road, could easily be avoided by moving the tee across the street).

Other Thoughts: That said, I found this to be a fun little course. Sure, most of us could play the whole course with a putter, and maybe a mid, but I like throwing a course like this once in awhile.
We definately need beginner courses like this too, there was a 1st timer on the course when we were throwing.
If a more challenging course is required, Edward Medard is a few miles away!

Playground/ Track/ Course 
Pros: Well kept, nothing but flat straight shots, great for beginners. Could play the course easily with 2 discs.
Cons: Kids were picking up/ trying to steal my disc... People ALWAYS in the way of shots, Kids were climbing on top of baskets. Between noon and 6 most of course isnt "playable" because of kids.
Other Thoughts: Aside from the people this is a great small neighborhood park. It was installed and maintained with good intentions, its just people ruin it like everything else in this world.

Small Residential Course 
Pros: Very well maintained
Course is in a safe location

Good course to expose kids to disc golf
Nice place to warm up

Cons: No tee pads or signs, only posts with an arrow on top pointing to the basket
Not challenging
-Very short holes
-No elevation change
-Every hole is wide open and straight on
Poor Layout
-Too many other activities in the same area put people not playing disc golf in play
-The fairways of holes 7 and 8 intersect

Other Thoughts: The first thing you will notice about this park is that it is residential. Being surrounded by a relatively nice neighborhood means that the course seems safe and is well maintained. However, the poor layout and small space overshadow these benefits. I would not recommend this course for anyone but those with children playing with you or as a quick warm up before going to Limona Park 10 minutes away.

Pros: 9 holes of disc golf
Baskets are in great shape
Great seeing a disc golf course in a multi-use park.
If you live nearby it would be a great course to practice putting and upshots.
Other than that, that is about all the positive that can be said for this course.

Cons: Other park users constantly come into play. Holes are extremely short and take pretty much no skill. If you have any decent skills expect to have a very good look at birdie on every hole. Hole 2 is the only one with any obstacle with a guardian tree on the hyzer route.
Don't play this course if you are in the area unless you are at Limona and want to see something different. You would be better off playing Limona again than going to this course.

Other Thoughts: Not a lot to this course. 9 holes pretty much dead straight and short with no obstacles. Happy to see a disc golf course in a multi-use park. In many ways this doesn't work so well here because of the proximity of the pins to the playgrounds, courts, and soccer field. If anyone else is using this park it will be an inconvenience.
I won't play this course again and would probably only play it if I lived within 5 minutes of it. I hate to down a disc golf course but this course really has no challenge. Only other reason to play this park is if you have hit 99% of the courses in Florida and need to round out playing every course in the state.

Nice Short Course
Pros: Well kept! Friendly park goers.
Cons: 1st hole can be a challenge when basketball court is full. Very short ranges.
Other Thoughts: I like this park and course. Great for beginers! I got my first hole in one on #1. I play here several times a week because it is so close to where I live.

Buckhorn: A Course for Greenhorns
Pros: -Nearly impossible to lose a disc. No water hazards (a rarity in area courses) and just a few fences you might throw over. Luckily, you can walk easily around the fences to retrieve your disc.
-Good beginner course to learn the game without getting too frustrated with lost discs or thick woods.
-Good "pitch and putt" course for the more experienced players.

-Good "pitch and putt" course for the more experienced players.
Cons: -Course shares a park with a playground, basketball court, volleyball court, and walking path, all of which are in play on various holes. On crowded days, several shots might be dangerous to other park goers. Unfortunately, the park is too small to fix this problem with a redesign.
-A few of the fairways cross each other. Again, busy days may cause problems.
-A couple holes have nothing going on. Just wide open shots with absolutely no obstacle or hazard. I'm all for having beginner courses, but I've always felt that every hole should have at least one obstacle, taking out one side of the fairway or the other, or punishing long shots, etc.

Other Thoughts: Buckhorn is a small, flat, city park with a kids playground, basketball court, volleyball court, small soccer field, and walking path, in addition to the 9-hole disc golf course. The couple of times I've been there, the grass has been freshly cut, and I just played a round shortly after heavy rain and had no problems with flooding or soggy areas.
The holes are all really short and won't give any trouble to experienced players. The main obstacles in the park are a handful of mature trees, but unfortunately, the playground and other park equipment come into play on a few holes. This, along with the lack of imagination on a couple of other holes is the reason for the low rating.
Though the course isn't hard, it is the best course in the area to take first time players, since all the other ones nearby seem to have numerous water hazards. It can also be a fun course for advance players to have a relatively stress free round with lots of ace runs (okay, 9 ace runs), and plenty of upshot and putting practice (I always play this course with a single midrange disc).
My guess is that most seasoned players won't find a reason to play more than once, and it probably isn't worth the trip if you aren't already in the area.
