Tradewinds Park

Tradewinds is a 19 hole disc golf course (2 - #10’s, inside/outside) which borders a lake that often comes into play. The course has several alternate pin locations (#’s 1, 2, 3, 8, 9, 12, 14, 17) and long tee pads (#’s 1, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 13, 14) which provide a challenge for all skill levels. It is a must play for anyone visiting the South Florida area, 1st light west of the turnpike on sample rd. Tradewinds park charges $1.50/person on weekends and holidays to enter the park. The course can be found by following the park’s main road south past the softball fields and butterfly world, through the stop sign to the south end of the park, continue on the road as it turns west and pass several pavillions on your right to a parking lot which is in front of a large tree and several picnic tables. hole #1 is at the top of the hill between the walking path and the large tree. The course is built for distance but finesse players can find several lines that benefit placement. The signature #7 is a ~320ft par 3 to a peninsula style green, water all along the right and woods along the left make for a tight fairway and a beautiful/challenging hole. The course retains a lot of water in the summer months and bugs can get pretty bad (fire ants, mosquitos, gnats) so bring bug spray. Wind will almost always be a factor and can change direction on you so be careful and plan accordingly. There is a weekly random draw doubles league on Saturday’s at 3pm. The course is frequented by many locals but always welcomes newcomers so don’t be afraid to ask for some guidance or help getting around.

Best of luck and hope to see you out there - TJ
