18 holes with DIScatcher 28 baskets in excellent condition. Concrete tees on every hole and some holes have long pads as well. Course winds its way through a portion of a large county park offering low tunnel shots, some fairly open holes with a couple of scattered trees, and a mix of forehand/backhand shots. Most holes have 3 positions (course was in B position except for hole 3 when I played). Hole 3, if in the C position, is an island green that can be fun (see other thoughts) but otherwise all the baskets will be in the same position throughout the course. Tee signs are very nice. No intimidating water carries. You can score well with every shot in the bag or when the course is in the short.

Park road (can be busy at times) comes into play on a handful of holes, especially the 3rd hole on the island, so take caution when nearby. A few holes play next to a school with a fence that is fairly high, so you can lose a disc with an errant toss. Hole 15 has some added shrubbery that makes the park road blind off the tee, use extra caution when playing that hole.

Holes 9 and 10 are fairly unique, the tees don't exactly line up with where the basket is (9 isn't as bad, but 10 is a different story). It's not a course to go out of the way for, but with two other courses on site, and easy access to the Turnpike, Indian Hammocks makes for a long but fun day of disc golf.

Suggestion: A sign at hole one to indicate the baskets are in whatever position they are (if all are the same).

Why were there 300 cars in the parking lot at 8 am on a Thursday morning? Because the local high school seems to share this park and parking lot and not one of these kids will ride the school bus.

KIHP is a fairly large, very flat park with both wooded areas and open fields. The park borders a school and a recycling area. The school's fence comes into play on # 5. It tempts you into trying to cut the corner by throwing over this fence.

By the looks of the kiosk, the Miami Wind Dummies is a fairly active club. I'm not sure if I've seen a kiosk so loaded with disc golf related items. It's quite obvious that the locals enjoy playing some kind of a disc game involving playing cards. There's about three decks at the kiosk. The other side has the course map

There's a practice basket nearby. Each hole has three concrete pads and each basket has three different (A-B-C) placement possibilities. The tee signs show pictures of the possible placements but doesn't show a map or a route. Basically, what I'm saying is? I never had a clue to the distance needed. Luckily, I have such an old man's wieney arm, it doesn't matter if the hole is 280' or 680', I just throw the same drive on either. No mid-ranges for me! The basket's are old, very old and tired looking.

I started out perplexed after playing what I thought was # 1, I found the next # 1. After that, I managed to get through the course all right. Another baffling thing about this course is the designer's propensity for putting baskets on the far side of the park's roads, including the main drive coming into the park.

In spite of the navigational difficulties, I enjoyed the course. As others have mentioned, the course has this old school vibe going. It's kind of a throwback to the 70's. The designers didn't have to be so safety conscious. And it loops back to the start and has a nice variety of open versus wooded holes.

My favorite hole was # 9. It's short but gives the player two completely different options for reaching the hole.

Navigation is dicey the first time through.

Some boring open holes.

Baskets are tired looking relics.

A couple holes play close to fences.

# 15 plays across the park's main entrance street.

Three pads with three basket positions is over my pay grade.

This would be a great course to play with a local your first time through. With a local guide I could've saved time and not gotten into do much trouble with the wife. But in spite of this, I enjoyed the course. Throwing over the roads is not a biggie. It's easy to wait. But I'm wondering, whose all those high school kids and how do they all get to drive those nice cars?

- A nice course with a good variety of holes.
- Good use of low trees to make shots more difficult on a largely open course
- 10 is a good hole to gamble your tee shot, and 18 is a really nice finishing hole.

-The signage is generally good, although I'm still not sure I played #1 correctly, and I played 13 and 14 out of order.
- 9 is the weak hole on the course. It's by far the shortest hole, and you're just throwing into a jungle.

- An open layout, but I lost two damn discs anyway (one on top of a building by the 8th tee; the other in a fenced lot on the 15th I was stupidly trying to cut over).

There is a curious collection of holes on K-1 or the "East" course as it is also known as. It starts off with some woodsy holes and then opens up a little. I would describe it as a short to medium length course. There are some cool tree features and the course utilizes some of them in interesting ways. So the course is fun to play and somewhat charming even. There is another 18 hole course on site and combined with this course and lunch at the nearby Pollo Tropical can make for an enjoyable day of eating and slinging plastic!

Disclaimer:

This course was originally put in the ground in the mid 1990's and is set in a city park so there are a few cons that especially newer players might not like. Such as holes throwing over or near roads and shorter more technical type holes

Given the course's age, she could benefit from some improvements. Like better tee pads and signs.

The navigation is a little wonky. COPY THE MAP before heading out, or better yet play a round with some of the friendly locals. Also, the course is set in a very popular park and can have holes unplayable during peak times of usage. Like most large city park courses, this one is better played in the morning and during the week.

I had a fun round here and slightly prefer this course to the other one here. I'm old school though, so the courses flaws might not have shined as brightly for me. In 1996 we would have been very happy to have a course like this nearby!

-A decent course in an area without lots of disc golf options
-One of two 18 hole courses in the same place, and it's less crowded (by other park inhabitants) than K2, the west course
-No fees, good parking, and the park is well-maintained
-Baskets, though aged, are good (I prefer Mach to Chainstar)
-Multiple pin locations -- what really got me hooked on this course is when I played it on the "long" layout; it makes you feel amazing when you get birdies, and makes you work to save par after even slight miscues - my 2.5 rating is for the harder layout; 2.0 or even 1.5 if in the short pins
-Few places to lose discs! (though I've managed...)

-Some highlights:
1) good forehand shot needed (RHFH) to get past trees for a shot at birdie
3) tricky shot along the OB street, requiring precision to get over the short fence but stay under some trees; one location is in the "island" between the two lanes of the street
8) distance required, and there are some early obstacles to avoid; one location is a nice basket up on a mound, one is in a nice "tree-enclosed" green, and even the short location presents a challenge
11) fairly long with a partially obstructed tee; all pins require adequate power and line-shaping to get a two; wind frequently factors in disc selection
12) now throwing a fairly long shot again, with opposite wind; slightly uphill, and the long basket is nestled up against a wall; the short basket requires a good line to get into a somewhat sheltered green
15) long drive either over the OB park road or layup before; two of the three hole locations are particularly challenging/commendable: one nestled in among some trees on the far side of the street, and one maybe 100' past the street with a pesky bush in the "green"
18) tough in all pin locations; I love the long, where it's a legit par 4 requiring a good layup and a challenging approach to have birdie possibilities

-One of those courses where it feels holes are kinda placed wherever they fit; a couple of these don't really feel like golf shots (4, 9, 10, 13, 17 all come to mind - but even these are fun to play)
-At least one hole (5, in middle/long positions) is pretty much impossible to birdie because it requires such a crazy dogleg to the right; there are a couple others where you have no idea what shot the hole is "designed" for. This is likely because trees have grown since the course was designed.
-Two holes throw over a park street, and it's common to have people picknicking, kite-flying, or playing catch/softball in "fairways," on average once per 18 holes; this is a byproduct of disc golf not being a big sport in this area (the problem is easy enough to solve with communication or occasional hole-skipping)
-Navigation isn't stellar, partly because of the pin location issue and partly because of a parking lot and street between some baskets and the next tee. The first time I played, I skipped at least one hole and threw to 2 or 3 wrong baskets before realizing my mistake.

I believe this is the oldest course in the area. It may have been better when new in the 90s, but both the park and the game have changed since then. Changes to the park have altered some holes and forced course managers to move a hole or two. Tree growth has removed some lines that were probably present 20 years ago. Longer discs (and forehand shots) have removed some of the challenges that were originally designed into the course.

K1 has grown on me! This is a course that's quick to play, and there aren't many around, so I play it often. It doesn't feel like a full day of golf after just one round (particularly when baskets are short), so I sometimes play twice or move over to K2 (west) for a second round.

good mix of open and wooded shots
Good mix of short and long distance
Good Club action
Clean
Pin positions changed regularly
Locals are helpful
optional flightpaths for most baskets
the map is easy to follow
There is a nice buildup for the big arm shots.
Bathrooms, although not near the course

Tee pads in bad shape, #2 is fading spray paint on the sidewalk; durable paint would be acceptable.
Signs are hilariously bad
Thousands of giant Banana Spiders in the Summer.
Loosing discs in the heavy undergrowth
Throwing over active roads

This is the main park in South Miami that people play. It may not be the greatest, but it is challenging in certain pin positions and 18 is always a threat. There is an active club here, I see they bought a new practice basket, I think they could use new signs and fix the pavers on the tee pads that use them. It is a little far for me to join the club. There is also another course in the same park available to play which is cool. I prefer this one, but I wish just small upgrades are made..the baskets are fine though.

-Concrete tees (altough short and inconsistent) and a quite a few multi tee holes
-Variety of open/wooded holes and multiple pin positions
-Course/Park upkeep. Didn't see any trash in the park at all

-Holes too close to fence lines, and some over/near roads
-Odd layout navigation wise. Tee pads in places that just make you wonder. A few long walks between holes. Sometimes it's not easy to find the next tee.

This course has the basics... The park & course are pretty well kept. It has a few basic designed holes, but most felt pretty lacking to me. The course uses the roads and fences to shape many holes. While that creates decent throw lines, most of the holes have unnecessary hazards. No wow factor here. This course really did not leave me wanting to come back. I wasn't very interested in checking out the West course after my round here.

Solid if mostly open course through a city park. Considering the lack of trees and elevation, there is a good amount of variety and a good amount of fun. A wealth of big oaks create gaps, protect baskets and even enforce a little shot-shaping. There aren't really any signature holes, but the course as a whole plays pretty well. A few of the holes brush up against a tree line on the edge of the open spaces that most of the fairways traverse.
Also, none of the signage uses the phrase Kendall East. It is referred to as K1 so that's what you should be looking for. There is a little confusion at the very start about which hole 1 and which hole 2 goes with which set of 18 here, but after that, it's pretty easy to follow the layout here. Tees and signs are adequate. Just remember to take a glance at the tee sign to figure out the direction from the basket to the next tee.

Even though nothing stands out here, it would probably be a 3.0 if not for the holes that cross parking areas. If you could picture the most standard collection of holes, the most basic course, than you have a pretty good image of Kendall East.
But, there is considerable interaction between fairways and park roads and a few places that force throws directly over parking areas.

nice mix of trees and open space

once you find the tee, fairly well marked w/r/t where the basket is. but often the next tee is quite far from the last basket, leaving one wandering around a bit wondering where to go next.

Good signage and baskets with not too much interference from park dwellers.

There are some design issues. For example, one hole requires you to throw over a road. Some other holes could be adjusted to avoid spiders and heavy brush, and also make it easier to spot baskets and improve the flow of the course. For example, hole #9 tee is next to a building's parking lot and holes' 10-11 were different but not enjoyable.

Overall, the course is well-maintained with some small design issues. If you are playing EAST, park close to the skating park since hole #1 is directly behind it (backside of skate park). If you are playing WEST, you can park by the skating rink as well since the information board and hole #18 for East are nearby. I did not play West, but it seemed to wrap around the park more, whereas East was mostly in an open area and led you back to the skating area. I enjoyed the course, and would recommend the park for anyone wanting a decent challenge. There wasn't a need for bug spray, but I would definitely recommend bringing a long stick or extender to clear out spiders if needed.

* Fun course to play. In my 3 yrs. of playing, I only found one course that wasn't fun and that was because navigation non-existent.
* Nice setting.
* Well maintained fairways.
* Concrete T-pads.

* As a first time player of this course I found navigation below par. I never did find one of the holes. I think it was #13, but I'm not sure.
* The T-pad signs were nice but it was often difficult to know which of the multiple basket locations was the one in use. It would be nice if, when the basket locations are moved, a tag was place on the T-pad sign showing which location was in use.
* I have never before seen a course where the navigation to the next T-pad is on the previous T-pad. I'm used to it being somewhere near and in view from the basket. I found myself forgetting to look for that info while at the T-pad. If I did look, I often found that I had forgetting what it said by the time I finished playing the hole.
* Lacks elevation change. One can not fault the course designer for this. After all this is south Florida. The nearest thing to a hill is 100 miles away.
* Although the course was fun, it was kind of boring. Fairways were either open fields or had a few trees. Not many holes required any thought as to how to approach the basket.

I've played courses is many parts of the country but haven't reviewed most of them. Many courses, because of their location, are going to score higher only because the topography, geology, and flora make them more interesting and varied. This is a fairly well done course for the area. I'd play it again if I'm in the area. I would recommended that the people who maintain the course do so more signage. It is my feeling that a good course should be idiot proof to navigate for someone who has never been there before.

Supposedly there is a Kendall Indian Hammocks Park - Wast but I never found it.

Several easy birdie ops , solid Discatcher baskets .

Slightly spread out and several repeatable shots , 3 pins on mounds surrounded by junk - need work to clear ( maybe scheduled already ) 14 tee is VERY hard to find if you are not looking hard for it - it is at a dead end driveway with a doorway cut out of the side of a chain link fence - have to really be looking to see it . Pathway to 6 and 18 is twisting with several forks - look for the red tape on branches .

Copy of the map is MANDATORY for this one , I referenced it on half the holes .

Only place I know of with 2, 18 hole courses at the same park. Multiple tees on most holes for begginers and advamced players. Multiple basket placements and the placements are rotated so that courses have different difficulty levels depending when you go. The grass is well maintained, bugs are a non factor, bathrooms, water fountains, and even a vending machine that sells discs in the center of the softball fields. All in all with the variety of holes, the only thing it's missing is water hazards and elevation changes. Online map, clearly marked tee signs, cement tees, and next hole markers on signs are a huge plus for new players to the course. Overall great course

A couple tees are hard to find after last basket if you never played there before, but online map shows them clearly. On weekends sometimes some people set up barbecues in the middle of fairways and baskets making certain holes unplayable and locals have no idea what you are doing.

Great mix of shots required an great upkeep by local park

None sorry

Fence and or roads on 17 of 18 holes, giant throws required, several homer holes.
A shadow of what it used to be.

it's a course, way down in crowded Kendall. The oak trees are nice, too many roads and fences come into play, last 4 holes very difficult. Luck good or bad is a major factor on this course.

This is an enjoyable course to play and the park offers lots of amenities that could make this a great family day at the park. It is well maintained with bathrooms, a skateboard park, softball fields, and walking paths.

The course is mostly flat and it appears that it has been altered several times which is evidenced by several unused cement teepads. The first 5 are in some trees, that are spaced relatively far apart, and are used well. Ending in a hard long dogleg right. Six through 14 and most of 15 take place in and around a big open area. Some difficulty here with the ones near the trees and the out of bounds on 13 (which the map is not correct on. More on that below). Sixteen through eighteen are back in some trees. Depending on which tee you play and which position the pin is in these three are probably the most difficult. Especially the 18c. Many of the baskets have at least 2 pin positions and some have 3.

The course is not terribly challenging but they have done well with what they have. The wind constantly blows here and is something you will have to deal with.

On fairways 4 - 7 you will deal with a fence that is out of bounds and if your disc goes over it is gone. The fence is tall, barb wired, and I could not find a way in. Basket 10 is a joke. The tee pad points you to go around the very large and bug and briar infested area on your right. However, for some reason the throw is now routed through an opening up in this area and if you miss you are not going to like it. Thirteen has an OB fence also and if the basket is in the right corner don't go over it. Retrieving a disc here is possible but not fun or safe to do. Twelve throws at a wall about 8 feet high and on the other side is very busy road. Going over it could be disastrous. Fifteen throws over a well used park road and the view to the left does not give you a lot of viewing to time a throw. The map is incorrect for 13 and 14. Thirteen is across the road in the grass area and the teepad marked for 13 on the map is 14's teepad.

This area is not a hotbed for disc golf and there are few courses to play. That being said, while the course has issues with safety and a couple of very odd fairways it is a decent place to play if allowances are made for this. I would not go out of my way to play here but was there for 2 months and played it at least once a week. It cured my fix and I got to play the southern most course in the continental 48.

36 possible holes, and a great multi-use park. I'm always happy about this because it may get others interested in our sport, plus it also shows the local community that disk golfers are active and do care about their parks. The only thing that made me happy is I can claim I played the southern most course in the U.S. but see no other reason to play here.

Just about everything. Signage is piss poor and usually inaccurate. You'll sweat your ass off cursing all day here. Really hard to navigate. Never seen a groomed course so poorly designed.

Seems money wasn't an issue but imagination and creativity never came into sight. I spent the whole time wondering if the creator even plays.

Nice assortment of holes. Good use of available space. Good signage. Nice tee areas. The first few in the trees are short and super fun. The 11, 12, 14 wide open 3 are a nice change from the rest of the course. 16 might just have been my fave in all the trees. 17, the tree tunnel was a nice different hole. Park is generally clean. Locals were helpful and friendly.

A few tough, easy to miss hole transitions. 6 to 7 was easy to miss. 8 to 9 could be missed, too. Over the road for 15 is a bit poorly done.

9 is a weird toss blind into the woods. 10 is just a bit "blinder". This course will allow you to use a variety of discs and shot choices. I travel with a smaller bag than I use on home courses... and had the right assortment to play well. Overall... I will play here again if I have the opportunity.

1) Concrete tees are always a plus . . . see also cons.

2) Awesome signs with all of the info needed and a map of each hole. Distance, Par, Hole # are included. Alternate baskets all indicated also.

3) Plenty of options for basket placement on most or all holes. I like that the course can be changed up from time to time.

4) Decent variety in shot shaping needed here. You have to be able to throw both ways to score well here.

5) Nice variety of foliage density with the tighter wooded holes, the more park-like holes with a smattering of key trees along with a couple wide open holes for you to go for an easy birdie.

6) Excellent distance variety on this course with holes from the mid 100's up to themed 300's. This definitely forces you to carry a lot of discs to be able to throw them on the appropriate holes. Excellent design feature in my opinion.

7) Beginner friendly but still challenging. Nearly no chance to lose a disc unless you throw it in the road and someone drives over it or picks it up and drives off.

8) Lots of artificial OB here like fences, roads, walls etc . . . help to define the course and the intended way to play. Normally I don't like this but it is needed on this course.

9) I got a chance to whip out a few rollers which is something I always appreciate on a course. They are fun to throw and it is simply an alternative to a long air shot.

10) The one really unique hole had a raised mound . . . it actually made me think it was an old Indian Burial Mound, but I didn't think that would be allowed.

1) The concrete tees are inconsistent, some of them are made from concrete steppers placed next to each other to form a large area. I hate inconsistency on tees . . .but these are better than teeing from the dirt.

2) Dangerous throws on occasion along the road, and the hole that goes over the road. I could also see a pedestrian getting hit here if they aren't paying attention to where they are walking.

3) Relatively flat course with only minor rolling terrain. The elevation change is most dramatic on the one hole with the elevated mound basket placement. That's about as big as it gets (3').

4) Old baskets are getting a little ratty and rusty in spots. Some of the baskets seemed to be bent and might not catch as well as they did originally or a newer basket. It is what it is I guess.

5) Lots of trash visible in the peripheral areas along fences and in the woods.

6) A couple of confusing transitions between holes leaves you looking for the next tee on occasion.

It is obvious this is about the best in the area. The course was pretty busy when I was there and it seems to be wore in pretty good. I enjoyed the shots despite the cons of the roads in play, the teepads being inconsistent, and the baskets being old. As a whole the course is challenging but still fun to play. I give the golf side o the course a much higher grade than the total rating because all of these other things take away from the experience, leaving this course just average to slightly above average overall. If I was in Miami I would play it again, and the only reason I came here was because it was the best course on my way to key West for a wedding.

Concrete Tees
2 courses at the same location

As mentioned, it is difficult to find pins and next tee boxes on some of the holes.
Also, a massive skate park is being constructed right in the middle of hole 1 (East course I think) Tees/Holes for 1-3 are pretty much unfindable.

Given a good map, and better hole overview signage/next tee box signs, this would be a very enjoyable course. As with several of the courses in south Florida, keep an eye out for massive spiderwebs.

Many different styles of holes, long, short, narrow openings, wide open, no trees, trees everywhere. Makes you work on you game as a whole

Can lose your disc if you don't pay attention

This course is great for beginners and advanced players alike, nothing beats a day at the park with your friends playing some disc golf!
