Pros: First, I wouldn't expect to find a course in a small Reserve Park such as this which feels like a botanical garden to me. It seems more a park for strolling or meditation than one for tossing discs. The tropical foliage is thick and lush without much grassy or open area. But, the course works here.

Pros: First, I wouldn't expect to find a course in a small Reserve Park such as this which feels like a botanical garden to me. It seems more a park for strolling or meditation than one for tossing discs. The tropical foliage is thick and lush without much grassy or open area. But, the course works here. It gives beginners or the inexperienced players with one disc a jungle type area to play. Although the distances are recreational short, the accuracy needed makes this course interesting for lots of players.

The course starts next to some kind of water treatment plant. You'll find a kiosk, a bench and concrete tee pads. There is a course map and the rules of disc golf. The tee signs show the next basket. Aren't these little rec courses always the best signed?

The course is recreational short always playing through the trees, bushes and other foliage. Although heavily brushy and tree lined, I can't call this is a technical course. Hole # 6 has two baskets and a fence comes into play on your right. I liked # 3. It had kind of a cool vibe throwing 280' over a grove of low growing palms. Just kind of interesting. # 3 is the longest hole here as the rest play anywhere from 145' to 240'.

It is definitely a rec level course. Intermediate or advanced players need not apply. But it is ideal for beginners, kids and one disc wonders. There is little chance of losing your disc here.
Cons: I don't see much in the way of cons once you accept this course for what it is-a short beginner's course in a lovely jungle like setting.
Other Thoughts: I see this an a real enigmatic course. You would never expect to find a course in a botanical setting like this. Frankly, I'm shocked that someone chose to place a disc golf course in this park. It just doesn't fit! But I love the idea and am thrilled to see someone thinking outside the box.
