I'm coming down to Ft. Lauderdale on 11.16 for a couple days and can fit in 1 maybe 2 rounds. What course is the best to play. Looking for challenge. I appreciate your thoughts in advance.

FWIW - if anyone else is interested, I thought Okeeheelee was better than either of them, but it's about an hour north.
So Fla is way behind the curve on decent courses.
I've played Tradewinds and Easterlin: both are between decent and good, but neither is "destination" disc golf IMHO. I didn't review them but IIR, I'd say they were somewhere around 2.5 - 3.0, although they're quite different from each other. Tradewinds was "nicer," and Easterlin has some minor navigation issues, but both were OK overall.

The one in Plantation Heritage wasn't there when I last visited - so I have no clue what it's really like... read the reviews. I plan on going down around Christmas to play them all and write reviews for all 3.
And also you can check out our league schedule on our website; Broward Disc Golf
Played Okeheelee 2 yrs ago (reviewed it), Tradewinds and Easterlin back in 2008 (no review).Unless you were down here recently all of the parks listed have been improved upon. All four parks listed have a decent amount of water so bring your floaters or be careful the lakes are not particularly shallow.
Course name (description) - Added in the past year
Easterlin (short, technical, heavily wooded) - concrete pads, redesign of holes 1-4, new tee signs
Tradewinds (some decent distance, more open, good variety of shots required) - multiple pin positions on every hole
Okeeheelee (long, mostly open, some decent elevation for Florida) - concrete pads
Heritage (huge variety of shots needed, lots of risk reward, my favorite) - All new course in the process of getting concrete pads and signs, stop in at the office for a map its not the easiest to navigate your first time.
If you want info on leagues or a guide for any of the parks let me know and if I cant make it, I'll find out who can.
Not a dumb question, as many people who don't live in areas with certain wildlife don't think about what potential dangers wildlife indiginous to the area they are visiting may present.Dumb question, Are there gators in all the lakes and ponds at these courses or not a concern at all?
Okeeheelee just got all concrete Tee pads a couple of weeks ago(w/ the exception of hole #4), there are also a few new pin placements. Much better now w/ tee pads than the reviews suggest since they were all done pre tee pads. As for the water, it does come into play but not as bad as alot of the reviews suggest in my opinion and I don't have the biggest arm. The elevation at this course is the great considering you don't get alot of elevated holes in South Florida.
