Pros:
So many unexpectedly good things about this course. Originally intended to play Holloway (down the street), but it was closed so we came here... and what an amazing course!
Great course culture
Great tee signage
Nice "next basket" signage, never looked at UDisc (except on 9 and 18)
Each hole has it's own unique signature. Unlike other courses, the tree trouble is different on every hole. For example:
- #1 anhyzer tee, to a low ceiling approach
- #2 tunnel shot tee, to a pick-a-path approach
- #3 bowling alley tee, to a wide open approach
- #4 uphill horizontal pick-a-path
Each hole had a decent amount of shade (except 10-12), IT GETS HOT HERE!, and honestly, the openess of holes 10-12 was a nice change of pace from the forest holes.
The rough was thick, but not too punishing. Only a few holes had some unrecoverable disc areas (thinking 10 and 12).
Cons:
Not very many long pads, still under course construction, it seems.. so for the long-ballers, this may not be the course for you. Great learner course for woods-play, not for stretching your game.
Other Thoughts:
Overall I was really impressed by this place, and thought it was maintained as well as most of the other Florida courses... definitely on par with Barnett and DeBary in Orlando, Jonesville in Gainesville, or Picnic Island or Maximo in Tampa Bay.
Would give this a shot if you are wanting to drive a little south off I-4.
