Cyprus Preserve Park Was A Pleasant Surprise! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 31, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

First, I wouldn't expect to find a course in a small Reserve Park such as this which feels like a botanical garden to me. It seems more a park for strolling or meditation than one for tossing discs. The tropical foliage is thick and lush without much grassy or open area. But, the course works here. It gives beginners or the inexperienced players with one disc a jungle type area to play. Although the distances are recreational short, the accuracy needed makes this course interesting for lots of players.

The course starts next to some kind of water treatment plant. You'll find a kiosk, a bench and concrete tee pads. There is a course map and the rules of disc golf. The tee signs show the next basket. Aren't these little rec courses always the best signed?

The course is recreational short always playing through the trees, bushes and other foliage. Although heavily brushy and tree lined, I can't call this is a technical course. Hole # 6 has two baskets and a fence comes into play on your right. I liked # 3. It had kind of a cool vibe throwing 280' over a grove of low growing palms. Just kind of interesting. # 3 is the longest hole here as the rest play anywhere from 145' to 240'.

It is definitely a rec level course. Intermediate or advanced players need not apply. But it is ideal for beginners, kids and one disc wonders. There is little chance of losing your disc here.

Cons:

I don't see much in the way of cons once you accept this course for what it is-a short beginner's course in a lovely jungle like setting.

Other Thoughts:

I see this an a real enigmatic course. You would never expect to find a course in a botanical setting like this. Frankly, I'm shocked that someone chose to place a disc golf course in this park. It just doesn't fit! But I love the idea and am thrilled to see someone thinking outside the box.

Good Lunchtime Distraction! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 31, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

+Tee pads on each hole
+Signage with distance, OBs listed, and suggested lines to try.
+Plenty of trees and bushes to throw around or between (i.e. forces more technical shots).
+Pin distances are short enough that only a mid-range and/or putter are needed to birdie each hole.
+Only 9 holes, which allows for an extremely quick outing

Cons:

-Holes #1 and 2 are often muddy and will get your shoes/discs very dirty. The holes can also be inaccessible to play for a bit after a rain storm passes (poor drainage in those pin locations).
-Hole #5 has a ton of bushes surrounding the pin. It is advised to use a bright colored disc so you don't spend all of your time looking for your disc (I've done this twice so far).
-Hole #6 is located next to a semi-low wall, so shanking your drive could cause your disc to head over the wall. Same with hole #7.

Other Thoughts:

If you live or work near the park, it is a great place to practice your technical shots and putting with your utility mid-ranges and putters. Using a driver here may not be the best course of action (no pun intended). The course is short and sweet, so I can normally play the full course and get back to work with a few minutes to spare. The park also has few patrons that walk through the disc golf area, so you normally will have the course to yourself.
