Pros: Beautiful surrounding park.
Brand new layout that is now a permanent course as opposed to the movable, temporary course that existed in the park before.
9 of the baskets are brand new Innova discatchers.
A few of the holes are very scenic and border the canal and the tidal plains.
Holes 6 and 11 are worth the trek alone. Really great use of terrain for a cool uphill approach on 6 and a really nice elevated tee on 11.
There appeared to be some discs at the Climbing Wall shop that could probably be rented if you asked.

Cons: Insanely narrow. Course got very monotonous as every hole was a tiny chute through the trees.
Although I know the park's budget for the course was likely small, it was disappointing to see the old, worn down DGA goals reincorporated into this course. They are now anchored in place with rebar so they aren't "temporary," but they still suffer from weak, worn chains and really don't catch discs well at all. It makes the holes with old DGA goals seem like a disappointment when half of the holes have brand new Discatchers.
No measured distances or established hole pars yet. I asked and was told this is pending.
Dangerous plants/animals. The course is literally lined with poison ivy. Plus the staff warned of gators...but I didn't see any.

Other Thoughts: The course has moved location. It is now located by the climbing wall complex. It is nice to have a permanent location for disc golf in the park. Hopefully with some more foot traffic and maintenance this course will improve with time. Right now, it is in its infancy, needs traffic, and needs a bit more tree cutting.
The location still makes you think disc golf is a bit of an afterthought at this park. The wooded area of the course is suitable for little else. Course largely has the feel of 18 baskets plopped down in the heavy woods. Once again though, with some more maintenance and a little bit more tree pruning, this could actually be a really nice layout.
