Busy busy busy 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 27, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

- it's a course, of course!
- tees marked consistently
- fine variety of shots needed
- challenging holes, for a few reasons

Cons:

- it's a college course, of course.
- no bathrooms for visitors that i know of
- no benches/trash cans/signage
- crammed into much of the area
- lots of traffic, be it vehicular or pedestrian.

Other Thoughts:

UWF is a great introduction to the sport for students I suppose, but that being said, it's crammed into the campus in such a way that unless you have absolute control of your discs, one needs to be positive that there are no cars or pedestrians nearby for many holes. I'm sure that on certain days of the week/time of year it's a nice, quiet course ,however, on the random Thursday in October that I played it was BUSY.

PRINT THE MAP before you come. It proved critical to navigation.

There are a couple of holes out here that are sweet to look at, but even w/o the inherent hazards of cars/people, they would require surgical precision. My overall impression was that while there are a few holes here that are challenging as hell- maybe even fun- the course is crammed in here. This is especially apparent near Campus Dr. where an errant throw is doomed into potential traffic. On a few other holes the pedestrian traffic can be enough for a smoke break.

While challenging, I found UWF nerve-wracking, and I wouldn't call it a destination course while Gulf Breeze is relatively nearby. If you do come, make sure to find your way to the visitor center for a pass lest you get a ticket/towed.
