I wasn't expecting much when I started playing 14 months ago. Surprisingly, in less than 10 months,…read moreI was able to advance from an absolute beginner to level 3.0. That wouldn't have been possible without Chase's coaching. He is encouraging, motivating, passionate, fun, and most importantly, he helped me expand my tennis social network! I have worked with three other coaches while he was unavailable for a few months. None of them was able to improve me as fast, not even close; nor to make me feel confident and want to play tennis every single day. What really amazed me was I often got compliments on how fast I improve when playing with friends right after his lesson. His teaching suits me well so I got speedy results! My 8-year-old son also started at the same time, but with other coaches. He was doing fine but did not benefit much the first few months. Ever since working with Chase, he has improved quickly within a few months. Chase makes him love tennis and he started to be able to play with me! We can't be happier to have the tennis fun together! I think a great coach is about trust. I have never doubted his coaching and am looking forward to seeing my full potential realized under his guidance. Anyone looking for a great coach, Chase has my unreserved recommendation!

I had a group meet up here for a fun time of food and games. This was my first time at this park…read moreand overall a good experience. Apparently, the pavilions are first come first served. A sweetheart from the group arrived at 6 am and was able to secure a nice pavilion on the lakeside, adjacent to the restrooms and across from plenty of parking. The pavilion come with a grill (we didn't use) and a large trash bin nearby. The area had a few trees around and was nicely shaded, this made the combination of good weather result in a really good experience. There is a nice trail for walking, hiking and cycling. Near the parking, there is a play area for children and a fenced dog park area. Overall, I thought I had a good experience and think that it is a fabulous area. I do hope to get back out here at some point in the future.

Lake Hiawatha Preserve Park - Frisbee Golf (Disc Golf Course)…read more Finally, a legit 18-hole disc golf course near Clermont, Florida. It's also a great place to bring your dogs! They have a nice fenced in area to let your dogs mingle and play with other dogs off the leash and there's a trail and some back country you can take them and run with. The good: - Solid mix of wooded technical holes and a few open bombers around the lake. Holes 4-8 along the water are gorgeous, especially at sunset. - Tee pads are concrete and in great shape (huge upgrade from the old rubber mats). - New Mach X baskets catch well and the bright yellow bands make them easy to spot. - Multiple pin positions on several holes keep it fresh -- they move them every few months. - Free parking, clean porta-potty near hole 1, and the course flows really well. Rarely any backups even on weekends. The "eh": - Can get soggy after rain (bring boots in spring). A couple fairways hold water like a sponge. - Hole 13's long position is a total prayer across the marsh -- fun once, frustrating the other 19 times. Highly recommend for intermediate and up. Beginners might get humbled on the back 9, but that's how we all learn! Will keep coming back. 4.5 stars rounded down only because mother nature still wins sometimes.

We've had people from 20 miles away come to birthday parties we've thrown here and then will come back on their own, hitting us up to come play with them again. The playground is by far the biggest afound, stretching for a long ways. The balance beam & more feature that allows kids to basically circumnavigate most of it without touching the ground is really cool. Slides, swings, seesaws, and spinny stuff galore! And tons of room to toss a Frisbee or football all over. The small nature hike out to the dock and water is very well maintained. There are fiends for soccer and baseball too. Lots of stuff! Lovely Pavillion for hosting a party as well!

The playground has a great rock climbing wall with different degrees of difficulty to inspire a wide range of ages. There is a huge rope web that allows for lots of crazy climbing. My grandson had lots of fun maneuvering up, down and side to side within the structure. The main area has a couple of slides and other options for play. There is a row of swings for both infant and older children.

There are quite a few slides, but the main structure is definitely for more aware kids as there are plenty of open spaces to fall.

We went into the cove area and there was 1 manatee that other boats were waiting to see. After one group left, we swam up, saw it for about 5 min before it swam off. That was basically the extent of it. I swam to see one of the springs. But for $500 for a family of 5; I wish there we could have seen others or at least tried to go and see other ones. It also would have been helpful if we could have had an option to cancel if they had tours that didn't see any or really low exposure that day (or been able to reschedule for a colder day).
