Nice Course but no signage 2+ years drive by

Played the course:once
Pros:
Like the course some long holes for me to practice my driver distance control on. Good tee pads and baskets. Not very crowded.
Cons:
No course map and signs are all sun beaten. Spent 4 hours here trying to work my way around the course. Wish they had better signage.
Other Thoughts:
Not a ideal place to bring a dog due to all the brush and goat heads and stickers. If you play hopefully a local can guide you around and maybe someone can make a course map for everyone.

Discatcher Baskets-A Recent Improvement! 2+ years

Pros:
As you walk toward the course, you're greeted with one of those park signs which exclaim, "Watch For Flying Discs." At least they're acknowledging our presence. The course plays in the largely undeveloped back section of the park. It's kind of a desert terrain with lots of rocks, dirt and manzanitas. There is a slight bit of elevation which is used effectively. The metal tee signs are old and kinda beat but give the pertinent information. The concrete pads are fine. And of course, the Discatchers with the numbers on top, are brand new and in pristine condition. The course plays at a solid intermediate level. There were no easy, gimme holes but there were also no monster holes or no scary water or lose your disc type holes.
The morning I played, a majority of the baskets were set in a slightly anhyser position. The guy in charge is either a lefty or throws a flicker. In nothing else, it would force you to improve you fade shot.
My favorite hole was # 11, a 417' fade, of course, thrown I think from a cool elevated tee pad across and down a cool natural valley. This course doesn't feature much in the way of natural beauty but this hole was kind of striking.
I thought the course was really clean and litter free. I don't remember seeing many trash cans.

Cons:
Hot desert terrain. Bring lots of water.
Lack of natural beauty. It's just not a very pretty course.
Fairly flat.
Preponderance of similar holes.

Other Thoughts:
Buckeye sits in the bottom half of my ranking of Redding's course. It's well again ahead of that ****hole Edgewater but I rank it behind Enterprise, Sacramento RV Park and Anderson River Park. I liked the two little nine hole Pitch and Putts I played, Simpson University and Palo Cedro Community Park but it's hard to compare them to these full 18 hole courses. Your ratings may vary!
