Pitch & Putt that needs some work 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 12, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

Fun short course in a well maintained park. There's nice baskets and tee signs, as well as next tee signs to aid with navigating the course. Quiet area surrounded by nature.

Cons:

Crossing fairways on a few holes make this course unable to support much traffic. Vandals have already broken off a few of the next tee signs, but it's not very difficult to figure out where to go. Water was high when I played, so holes 1, 2, 5, & 6 were unplayable. Fairway on 9 was pretty ridiculous. Not many options other than to kind of throw low and try and get out past the trees onto the walking path. Tees aren't very short and in poor shape, but the holes are so short you can stand and throw and still make a birdie or par.

Other Thoughts:

A good course to come play a quick nine if you're in the area and want some fresh air. Nothing challenging, you could easily play with just a putter. Despite not being able to play all the holes, I still had fun. I see a lot of the other reviewers are complaining about the tees, but the holes are all short, so you really don't need a run up to tee off. You can stand and deliver and still birdie these holes. This would be a great course for beginners and kids. I'd be interested to see how busy this park is on a beautiful weekend. If it got busy at all, it would be a scary course to play with the crossing fairways and baskets within 30' of the next tee.

New Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 5, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

1. New Baskets
2. Practice: The course gives you a chance to practice multiple shots, from Hyzer, Anhyzer, Forehand, Backhand, Flex, Straight, Tight Shots, Thumber/Tomahawk.
3. Work on your game: as a Rec Player, I appreciate the chance to work on my game. I will start playing multiple aspects of the game. I'm going to play a Putter Only round, to help me with my release angles. I'm going to try a Forehand Only round (I'm primarily a RHBH). I'm going to try an Approach & Putt round to work on those dreaded 150-200 ft approach shots. I'm going to try an Understable round, since I am not consistent with those left-to-right shots (I'm RHBH) and practice some Hyzer-Flips. This is a good course to play an entire round focusing on 1 thing.
4. Bathrooms on site
5. Well kept park by the city of Lake Mary
6. Gazeebos with grills, if you plan on making a day of it, you can have a picnic.
7. Hole 9 is a tough, picturesque hole

Cons:

1. Tee-pads are gravel, and only about 2' x 2' (yes, that small). Since the gravel is a cpl of inchese higher than the ground, it is a weird step up if you take more than 2 steps run-up.
2. The area around hole 5 & 6 fairways stays wet after it rains. Hole 6 tee area around the gravel is an inch under water after a couple of rainny days.
3. Only 1 hole to use a driver (#6)
4. Layout can be cumbersome. Fairways for holes 1 & 2 cross each other. After hole 2, you have to walk around and pass #6 basket. Holes 5 & 6 fairways share an open area, so look out for other players.
5. No signs. I got lucky that there were a couple of young guys there that told me where the tee pads were located for all the holes.

Other Thoughts:

Short course, that could've used a little better layout (see Cons #4 above), but it has potential. I had fun playing this course, and as I mentioned on the Pros, I get to work on different shots that I'm going to need to continue to improve my game.
I'll be bringing my family to play this course, as the kids don't like long courses, and they will enjoy the park, and having a picnic after we play.
