Gordon Barnett Park features two 18 hole courses, complete with driving pads, alternate pads, and alternate basket placements that create an individual course experience with every round. The city of Orlando provides excellent restroom facilities, rest areas complete with benches and trash cans, and water fountains. The other nice feature of the courses is the Barnett Park Pro Shop, run by Bob Lewis. Mr. Lewis has a wide range of reasonably priced discs and bags, and he gives all the golfers priceless assistance with drinks, lost and found disc storage, and by coordinating tournaments with local players. Players wishing to contact Mr. Lewis for disc golf business related matters can call him at (321)276-3681 or email him at

The older course tends to play pretty openly for the front nine. The canal that runs along the first six holes can offer some hazard play, but the only real danger lies on #2, especially for right handed errant shots. The back nine runs through a wooded area that is very challenging when the bushes obscure the line of sight, such as on #14. Generally, the old course is very playable, but generally level and open.
The newer course I find to be more challanging due to the very over grown nature of some of the holes, most notable on the front nine, holes #4-#7. The initial holes lead the player past a pond and over a large hill before leading back into the wooded area towards the rear of the park. The most enjoyable playing aspect of the new course is the terrain changes that lead the player down deep gulches and up steep hills. The most challenging hole has to be #18 which is a recreation of the 17th hole at TPC Sawgrass, complete with the famed island green and a "no-laying up" mandatory.
