Pros: Beautiful park with camping. No safety concerns, unlike Barnett Park.
T1 is a very beautiful course. Very easy to navigate. High fun factor. It provides a decent blue-level challenge, particularly when the wind kicks up.
The schule factor is very low and the only real place to lose a disc is in the water.
The holes near the water are particularly attractive visually.
Home of the Orlando Open, the best annual tournament in central Florida. The new club is strong and runs a good handicap on Saturdays.

Cons: The course requires power, but not much technical skill and shot-shaping. There are only a couple holes that require much strategic thinking.
Other Thoughts: Don't be a dirty discer. Leave the course cleaner than you found it!

Pros: Very scenic course which is rare in Florida. Is an older established course that is clear of a most schule. Just don't throw it in the water and you should be OK. Beginner friendly with a good number of shorter holes.
Cons: This course has really improved over the years. Even though the holes are not particular long they still offer a nice challenge. Much of the pitch and putt has been replaced but more challenging holes. (For a challenge play T2 in the same park.)
Other Thoughts: If you played this course in the past, give it another try as it's really been cleaned up. Home to www.OrlandoDiscGolfClub.com.

Another Great Lakeside Course in Central Florida 5+ 3/7/2010 9/11/2007

Pros: Varied challenges, views of lake.
Other Thoughts: Turkey Lake Park is set right on one of the largest lakes (among many) in the Orlando area and features cabins, camping, a variety of sports fields, boating, stables, and two distinct and challenging disc golf courses. Both courses are very well maintained and well laid out, and feature a good mix of woods and open holes, and have at least a couple of holes within view of the lake. The original course, known locally as the "old" course I believe, is a varied and pretty par 56 or so course that's more open than not and not too long. The newer course, known as "T2," is par 60-62 I'd say, tighter overall, and features a few truly long holes. Either course alone would be well worth visiting, but put together they create probably one of the best disc golf attractions in all of Florida.
Old Course - The old course is well maintained, and features at least one concrete tee pad per hole, plus good signs. Set toward the back of the park, the lake is in view for many holes, but never really in play, although on a few holes the lake could take a shot that gets away from you. There's a bit of elevation change (just a bit, mind you) so you do get some slight downhill shots along with a nice mixture of right and left breaking shots and open fairways combined with more alleys and somewhat challenging pin placements. #18 is a long par 4 or 5, but otherwise no hole is much more than 300 feet or so. And while the course overall is more open than not, there is some danger with thick rough outside the playing area and no shortage of trees and other foliage. Like most Florida courses, the landscape is lush and beautiful, and features a fine variety of hole layouts.
Both courses are easy to follow even if you don't have a map. The old course has next tee signs where needed, and the T2 course goes further than any other course I've been to to make sure you don't get lost, with multiple next tee signs at most every hole. This is a true blessing, because without these signs T2 would be very difficult to follow; in addition to the length of the course, the distance from basket to next tee adds up to a good bit of walking on T2. Overall, I've played longer courses, and I've played prettier courses, but T2 in particular is longer than most, prettier than most, and has better teepads and signs than any course I've played. You should definitely work this park and both of its courses into your Florida itinerary if you get the chance.
Favorite Hole (Old Course) - #4 - downhill shot among a few orange trees with best view of Turkey Lake.
