Umm, I have no idea what happened after about Hole 7? It's like the course just disappeared into the school grounds that surround the area. Retirees think they own the place playing pickleball so that is distracting and you have to play around them. I honestly think they should take out the course and move it to an area that could actually use it, like Labelle. If someone finds out where the rest of the course went, please let me know because I may go back.

School and recreation center course that must hold the record for the number of fences in the park. The park, ball fields and tennis court fences along with multiple buildings are dangerous hazards but also challenging to avoid. The ball fields are locked, so you’ll have to scale a tall fence for disc retrieval. The baskets are placed near these obstacles. So if you want to throw over, around, along side, and in between fences and buildings, this is the ideal course for you!

Pros: + Located in the Ft Myers Beach area, Which is good if you live there, or are vacationing in the area and can't get to any of the areas better courses.

+ It has good baskets.

+ The tees are mostly grass some marked with a 4x4 board set in the ground or marked out on the pavement.

+ Course maps are available at the main park building. I highly advise getting one.

+ There is a variety of shot types, with several holes offering multiple flight paths.

+ The park was litter free and well maintained.

+ Friendly locals.

Cons: - The course is tight, for the most part, and plays over and around Basketball, Baseball, Tennis, playground, park buildings, sidewalks, roads, and parking lots, intentionally I believe, which makes for a very interesting round of disc golf. Constant attention must be paid to avoid hitting other park users, their cars, the buildings etc.

- Half of the course is only playable when the nearby school is not in session.

- Some baskets are used for two holes.

- Some tee areas are hard to find and/or missing.

We only have 4 courses between Port Charlotte and Bonita Springs, and the North Ft Myers site is closed. So Bay Oaks is now one of three open for play. You can't play next to Elem school on school days until after 2p per park rules. After 2p on school days looks to be day care for the kiddies in the play ground where many holes traverse. Traffic is terrible during the Dec holidays, so pack a lunch and plan to spend 2 hours or more in traffic getting to Ft Myers Beach. Disc friendly course unless the kiddies steal them.
