Lots of variety on this course. The multiple teepads definitely help keep this course accessible and fun for players of many skill levels. If it weren't for the red/white tees, it'd be brutal and more frustrating than fun for most beginner and intermediate players. But, the multiple pads help give some challenges for more advanced players - typically involving the many water hazards - while giving others a chance to skip out and potentially save their disc while still playing.

Equipment, including baskets, teepads, and signs were all in great shape and clear. Navigation was pretty easy for the most part and there's an accurate, clear map at the entrance to help you out.

This course "feels" a lot longer than it really is. The designer did a great job wrapping it around the park and making good use of the land available; you're also not generally playing near other fairways, which is a huge plus.

Surrounding neighborhood is safe and the park itself has some very nice lake views. Definitely felt further out of the city than it really is at times.

I personally thought the water hazards were well used; yes, you have to be careful, but that's the point of them. I had to scamper into the ditch to grab a disc a couple times, which was luckily pretty low. However, this is probably a way bigger issue in the rainy season.

There is a nice mix of technical and shorter opportunities interspersed with longer shots. Again, great use of the trees and elevation that's existing - no course on the Florida gulf coast is going to have massive elevation changes, but there's at some hills here to keep things interesting, and the fairways lined with trees are more reminiscent of the courses I used to play up north than some of the others around here. Don't get me wrong, I love several of the other courses here in the area, but it's nice to see a different addition to our collection.

There's a walking trail that goes right through several parts of the course, so you'll need to be cognizant of safety and look before you throw on several tees.

Not a huge amount of parking; we got here at 11AM on Saturday, and I'm pretty sure the ball fields were in use so it was packed. Snagged the last spot in the lot.

There were a few mosquitos hanging around parts of the course - keep in mind, I played in December. I can imagine the sogginess and bug factor is significantly worse in rainy season. I plan to come back in summer and test this theory out. If it's horrendous, I may dock my rating to a 4. In December, it played like a 4.25 to me; so I rounded up.

Overall, great course due to the layout, use of the space, variation, and scenery. If you play from the red or white tees, it's very accessible for a beginner or intermediate player.

We still found it challenging, but definitely weren't as beat up as after a round at Cliff Stephens or Cypress Point, for example (both excellent courses as well and worth your time, though).

The water hazards are generally well thought out. I know they can be polarizing, but they're no worse than rolling a disc down a hill into a plie of leaves, never to be seen again, which I did frequently when I lived in parts further north. It's just Florida's version, and you generally can avoid it here by playing from alternate teepads.
