-Lots of trees, without a lot of brush to lose a disc in. The course is in a grassy city park, with lots of mature trees that will punish a bad shot, but generally give you a chance to recover and save par after a bad tee shot.

-Good shot variety. I didn't feel like I was throwing the same shot over and over, with some strait shots, hyzers, and anhyzers throughout the round. That said, I do feel like the course favored right hand backhand throwers over lefties.

-Lots of birdie opportunities. For me as an intermediate player who can generally throw 325ish without much trouble, it felt like I had a chance at a deuce on most of the holes, without the course feeling stupid easy either. There was also still a few chances for me to unload and throw full power.

-The biggest knock against the course was the equipment. The tee pads were rubber mats, most of which were not on level ground. At least a third of the holes had puddles on the mat, even though it had been two days since the last rain. Some of the mats had sand on them which made them slippery, but I think they would generally be fine if they were level, or laid on a crushed gravel bed that could control the erosion better.

The tee signs were terrible and badly need to be upgraded. No map on the sign, and hand written distances. The sign posts also weren't set properly in the ground with concrete, so a few posts were pulled out of the ground and a few others would spin freely in the ground. I'll also say that a few of the signs were positioned in the wrong spot, too close to the end of the pad, such that they interfered with my follow through (as a RHBH thrower, although LHBHs might have had a couple complaints too).

The baskets were fine, although some of the next tee arrows were missing or loose. That said, we didn't have much issue finding the next tee based off of our first guess.

The course layout is fine and makes for a fun round, and this has potential to be a 3.5 to 4.0 rated course...if it wasn't for poor tee pads/tee signs. It's a new course, so I'm hopeful the club or park can find the money to finish the course the right way with better pads and tee signs, in which case I'll up my rating.¬¬

My first ever played course in Florida plays almost entirely under a canopy of Live Oaks thus providing a lovely shaded experience for those hot Florida days. The disc golf course at GT Bray is wedged in between the canal on one side (but holes 14-16 do play on the other side of the canal) and the dog park on the opposite side. The course plays at a recreational level with many holes playing between 200-300'. Only # 18 is under 200' at 186'. I think # 6 is the only hole over 400' but it was probably my least favorite hole as it's wide open.

The course has the brand new but old school fiberglass signs. You know, the ones that teens love to break the fiberglass on. These were mounted before all the information was placed on them. They have the hole # but not the par or distance. Some kind soul has neatly written the distance on the side of the sign. Thank you, kind soul. The tee pads are rubber mats which are mostly not level, not dangerously so but not ideal either. Water tends to puddle on them.
The baskets are brand new orange DGA models. They're very pretty and most have a wooden next arrow tied underneath which helped with the navigation.

The trees provide most of the obstacles here. You will hit, at least, a few trees during your round. The course is flat. My favorite hole was probably # 11. It's 300' and requires a slight hyser. There is a chain link fence on your left the entire way but what makes the hole unique is the basket placement. The basket sits on a small hill with a cool rock formation just behind it.

Many of the tee signs and a couple of baskets are loose. Some of the tee signs are loose enough to spin around in a circle. A couple baskets including # 11 are not secured well. A little more concrete would help and so would some kind of cross piece under the ground to keep the signs from twisting.

The wooden next tee arrows are very helpful but some of the plastic ties securing them have been broken and a couple of the arrows have been broken. Next arrow signs cut out of sheet metal hold up well and can securely held on with wire. A few of the arrows are missing, as well.

The rubber pads are fine when level but not so good when they're as bumpy as these are.

I didn't care much for # 6. It's 420' across an open expanse of lawn.

The course design is solid, recreational solid. I liked it. What I found lacking was the actual bones and installation. I am not a fan of the fiberglass signs. They don't hold up well. I've seen them on many courses all over the country and they are invariably broke. Actually, I'm surprised they're still available for purchase. There are so many better options out there. The tee pads need leveling. And the next arrows are a wonderful idea but they're are getting trashed. You need arrows that are more vandal proof. I enjoyed my round here even though I threw like a girl and putted like a kindergartner. I just don't think GT Bray DGC can hold off the vandals.

(2.375 Rating) (RE-EVALUATED) GT Bray has had several layout tweaks since my initial review so I took a second look at the numbers based on the recent reviews and new photos posted in February 2018.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - Definitely the one thing that hasn't changed on this course since my initial review is the beauty. The course is positioned mostly under a live oak canopy that's draped with tranquil looking Spanish moss. The course most closely resembles the look of nearby regional course Northeast Coachman, but I think GT Bray is clearly a more picturesque example. My favorite hole is (11). Although the line is a hazard being blind, it has a neat basket placement around some limestone boulders.
- CHALLENGING - About average now. There were several holes over 400 feet on my first play but that now appears to only occur once on hole (6). The course is now a bit of a tweener between rec level and intermediate. Intermediate players should finish a couple under while rec players will finish a few over.
- SKILL LEVEL FRIENDLY - Considering the challenge factor noted above, the difficulty is ideal for a large swath of players. I could see advanced players and beginners enjoying themselves out here.
- PARK AMENITIES - Some really nice park bonus items not related to disc golf. Solid restroom facilities and a drinking fountain. Several well built shelters with picnic tables that are perfect for an end of round hangout. There's also a dog park.
- UNIQUENESS - About average but pretty good for a par 54. What I personally liked best was the variation of the tree coverage. Although mostly moderately wooded, at least a couple shots would be labeled as heavily wooded, lighted wooded and open as well. Fairway lines twist left and right and a few also finish straight. Water comes into play on (5) and in grip-lock situations on (6). The biggest missing item is elevation (see cons) but that's not really a surprise for this part of Florida.
- SHOT SHAPING - Lots

GT Bray has been in the ground for over a year and a half as of this revision and the necessary capital improvements still haven't come.
- NAVIGATION - It wasn't the greatest for my initial review and it still isn't. I don't get the point of buying horrible cheep signs that go into disrepair within months. Probably cost them 3 to 4 hundred bucks and now it has to be done again. It appears that all the arrows below the basket are beginning to fall apart now too. Solution, painted or taped spoke. It costs like $5.
- DISCONTINUITY - There's a sizable gap after hole (13) and then again after (16). Be sure and have the latest printed map from DGCR.
- CHARACTER - In addition to poor signage and navigation. The course still doesn't have many other basics as well. No course map on site yet and none of the recent reviews mention seating either. Not everyone has a Zuca, so a bench or two would be welcome. No multi tees, alternate baskets or a practice basket yet.
- TEES - Rubber mats... sure and upgrade from my visit when they were all-natural, but not much of one. Rarely in my travels have I ever seen them installed correctly. Perkerson in Atlanta is shining example of rubber tees done right.
- WALKING PATHS - There are plenty of walking paths that run along this layout. Players really need to be cognizant of their surrounding before throwing.
- ELEVATION - The initial layout had holes (17) and (18) in a different location where elevation was the most prominent in the park. With those holes now relocated, the most any one hole changes is maybe 10 feet.

Like I said in my initial review post, this course has so much potential as the holes themselves are really nice. Proper navigation, signage and tees gets GT Bray up to a 3 level. Toss in another set of tees for advanced players, some alternate baskets and some seating and this course becomes a 3.5.
- TIME PLAY - GT Bray takes an average amount of time to play. Figure 1 1/2 to 2 hours for a group of four players. Solos should be able to knock it out in just under an hour.
