Safety Hazards are a step back for disc golf 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 28, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

18 new Mach V's
nice concrete pads
2 pads on most holes.
Some water in play

Cons:

I found myself playing a hole thinking, "This may be one of the worst holes in all of Florida" then the next hole was worse, and the next even worse. So many safety hazards that I feel this course will be pulled in 2 years.
Holes 8,10, 11, 13 and 17 are some of the most negligently designed holes I have ever played.
Holes 3, 4, and 7 were extremely poorly designed holes.

Hole 1 looks like a short shot to basket 18 and can easily start your round with a misplay. The real hole is blind behind a tree with the locked baseball field in play.

Hole 2: Short blind forgettable hole.

Hole 3: Straight shot at baseball field, can't over shoot since chain fence directly behind basket.

Hole 4: Tiny little hole throwing over a minor water hazard with absolutely no landing area near basket. The basket is just placed in the center of a palmetto patch.

Hole 5: The only decent hole on the course. Water on the side.

Hole 6: Silly short filler hole

Hole 7: design is even worse than holes 3 and 4. Straight shot with a 90 degree turn about 150 feet over high grass.

Hole 8: literally thrown over a playground into knee high grass.

Hole 9: Simple open hole by the pool. It plays by the road, but no major safety concerns.

Hole 10: Absolutely awful dangerous hole. Tennis courts are in play on the left. A remote control car race track is also in play, as well as a sidewalk 6 feet from the basket.

Hole 11: Tees directly over a handicapped parking spot and is unplayable when race track is in use. Road can be in play for bad shots.

Hole 12: straight and open parallel with road, but minimal safety issues.

Hole 13: Dangerous routes are highly rewarded. Shots over the basketball courts or neighboring private properties give the best outcomes. No difference in long and short tee.

Hole 14: lightly wooded hole, nothing memorable besides the wall of trees protecting the basket.

Hole 15: Odd long hole. You need to aim at the street corner to go around the trees. the basket is blind and not in a logical location. I had to ask a local where it was.

Hole 16: Picnic area in fairway, Occasional remote control boat users on fairway.

Hole 17: 100% unplayable. 7 cars were parked in the center of the fairway. we were forced to skip the hole.

Hole 18: Water and baseball field in play. There is very little landing area. Parking lot in play.

Other Thoughts:

Course is on a very busy park and plays far too close to everything.
Putting in a new course is not growing the sport if it can potentially injure other park goers and ruin the chances for any new courses in Charlotte County. This course crosses a line to negligence in its design.
