Pros:
Gordy DGC has just about everything you could want except elevation. Advanced players will appreciate the long tees, which create bomber distances on several holes including three water carries (1, 6, and 7). Short tees save the day for recs and older players like me, both taking away the water carries and lowering arm fatigue. Gordy is in a beautiful park setting with few non-golfers and has numerous technical tunnel challenges (near, far, ceilings, even all of the above). Pretty balanced in terms of right/left/straight finishes. Nice baskets (one elevated) and tees (nicely textured concrete); benches at many holes. Excellent tee signs! Practice basket, photo-ready course map, and picnic table at parking lot. Nine bonus holes, which I didn't have time to play, but that's certainly another "pro."
Cons:
Flat flat flat. With tighter-than-average fairways on many holes, Gordy DGC could be frustrating for newer players. I was having trouble throwing straight vs. my brother's consistent drives during our round and lost by 8 strokes as a result. While I was severely punished and knocked off fairways, scrambling wasn't super difficult and the risk of a lost disc seems unlikely. **This could change during the rainy/growth season depending on the frequency and extent of mowing potentially tall grasses. While conditions were excellent during our round, I hear standing water can be an issue on several holes (7 comes to mind). It's a long walk out and back (NOT nine hole loops), so be prepared hydration-wise. Gordy is pretty far from any major population center and you must drive across a pretty rickety wooden bridge on your way to the park.
Other Thoughts:
We wanted to play a casual round on a road trip from Orlando to Jupiter. There weren't many choices in this area of FL (mainly a few nine-holers) and we were almost scared off by the supposed difficulty and potential for lost discs cited in earlier reviews. SUPER GLAD WE PLAYED GORDY RD. Maybe the course is more "beaten in" now, or maybe it was the low-growth time of year, but conditions were perfect. Wish I had this course nearby for regular play because of its awesome challenge and variety.
