Pros:
Kenny Dixon Sports Complex is a small park that also happens to have a disc golf course . The course is a compact 9 holer that wraps around and through picnic areas , squash courts and baseball fields . The course has Discatcher baskets that are numbered , tee pads ranging from cement , to sidewalk to natural . The signage is sparse . I only remember signs on 7 , 8 , maybe 1 , and they aren't much help . Since the course is set in a park with potentially many other activities or large shelters , a player coming down with family to vacation can pull off of I-75 and take the 5 minute drive to the park , set the kids and wife to wander the grounds , while you take 20 minutes to play the course. This is as fast a play as you will get here in Florida . Wellsbranch did a good job of mapping this course out . It;s a shame he didn't design it , too . Anyway , lots of parking , quick play . Disc risk is zero , unless you throw it into the field while a game is going on , or on a shelter roof . No signature holes, but several ace run holes . . Bag your course and get back on I-75 . The park is clean and well taken care of .
Cons:
#1 Safety . Unless you play this course in the morning or early afternoon on a weekday , you will risk a hit on someone on over half these holes . The only players that will play here more than once will be a newbie or a 2 disc casual , and since it can get windy here , chances are great that someone will be beaned in a shelter , on a field or wandering in between buildings in this park . One of the most dangerous courses If during peak hours ( I played on an early Monday morning ) . #2 Course ambiance . This course is unsightly . Even though clean , are nothing but structures and some baskets around the grass growing between them . #3 Navigation . Even with the map , you can be turned around and confused from the beginning ( start next to squash courts ) . There are a couple of places with bathrooms in the park , mostly at ball fields , and a nice shelter at 5 . #4 Challenge . None at all , except to take shots at aces ( nice chance at 7 and tunnel shot at 8 ) .
Other Thoughts:
After this review , it looks like I am condemning this course . I am all for promoting disc golf , but at its present state , some child , or irate adult will eventually get hit with a disc , causing negative feelings between Bushnell's park board and disc golfers . My Recommendation : There is a little land in the back . Maybe redesign it some and take the most dangerous holes away from the most active sections of the park . No challenge , so the course has nothing for anyone better than a casual . Unless bagging from I-75 , or just starting out and trying this wonderful game , skip this course and grab something close by like Shady Brook Floral or Okahumpka .
