(2.391 Rating) (RE-EVALUATED) A recently expanded park style course that will appeal to Novices thru Intermediate level players.
- UPGRADES - I felt compelled to update my review for this course despite not re-playing it. Five additional holes have been added, a couple of the original have been tweaked, baskets have been upgraded to pro 28s and concrete tees have been poured. Even though my formula has been tweaked to produce slightly lower scores from my earlier reviews, there appears to have been enough upgrades to land this course into my 2.5 ratings range. I had originally scored it a 2.065.
- SKILL LEVEL FRIENDLY - The course seems to play well for a wide swath of skill levels, except perhaps Advanced players over a 950 rating. The par 3s average around 275 feet long. There will be birdie and bogey potential for your typical rec players. When I first played here there were short natural tees marked as well, but I'm no longer sure if that's still the case.
- FUN FACTOR - The Bulldog has most of the elements to make for a fun round. A few good ace runs for higher skilled players. The odds of losing a disc is very minimal unless the creek is raging or the dry retention pond is full. The fairways are lightly defined and wide enough to not frustrate novice level players.
- MAINTENANCE - The course was well kept and clean when I played it. Grass was always kept in check. In addition, there wasn't too many chances to throw into heavily overgrown areas. Errant shots are usually not punished further.
- RAW BEAUTY - I found this course to be about average or a touch above average in terms of beauty. Holes (1), (13) and (14) are on the bland side of the spectrum, but a few holes have a bunch of older pines and massive oak trees to weave around and it makes the line pop a bit. Old hole (4) was my favorite, which had the creek along the right most of the way. I believe this is hole (5) now.
- NAVIGATION - The updated report from my friend was that there is new tee signage and that navigation is decent.

Who plays 14 holes?
- HOLE VARIETY - Like many non 18 hole courses, the Bulldog just doesn't have the same level of variety that you'd see on your average 18 hole course. There are no monster 4s or 5s. None of the holes are that exceedingly hard. The longest holes should challenge Intermediate players but Advanced players won't really be tested like the back tees at Tom Brown and Jack McLean in Tallahassee. There is however some creek elements in play a few times. Most of the holes also weave threw a lightly wooded live oak and pine canopy, as noted above. A few holes have less than a handful of trees in play. Overall I would rate the gameplay variety as average or hair below the typical course.
- ELEVATION - Really none to speak of. No more than 15 feet of elevation change along the entire course layout, which is sadly about the average for Florida.
- AMENITIES - Being in Perry Florida, this one is not blessed with the type of park budgets that cities like Tampa, Tallahassee or Atlanta have. To my knowledge, only one set of concrete tees. No multi basket placements and also still not 18 holes.
- ANIMAL BURROWS - Watch where you step. I saw at least a handful of dirt holes, one foot wide by one foot deep, from burrowing animals. (Not sure which species.)

In my old review I said I would "play this course again and update my review as improvements were made." I did play it again, but it was a month after my review dropped and it hadn't changed at all in that short time. I then changed jobs and moved, making a replay highly unlikely. Thanks to DGCR member Thrembo, whom I live vicariously through for Florida disc golf, I now knew that enough significant upgrades had been made to warrant a relook at the numbers. To me, it's got to be close to a ½ point better than my 2017 review when considering all the adds. I think there is still some modest growth potential left. Especially if they add 4 more holes. If you find yourself traveling along US 19, and you got time, I highly recommend checking it out.
