Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 1, 2006 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is one of the best nine hole,dual tee pad courses that I have played yet. The elevation changes and coastal winds play a large role in one's score. The fact that it is right next to the freeway is unique as well. This course is open for the most part but plays tricky around each pin placement due to the strategic bushes and trees put there to make quite the obstacles. The cement tee pads are in excellent shape and the baskets are in great condition as well. There are not a lot of opportunities to lose a disc here either which is always a plus. However, I have had a buddy throw a teebird on to the freeway from the top tee pad (hole 10, I believe). So throwers beware, the wind will definately play tricks on you!

Cons:

Besides the limited parking at the top of the course by hole 10, I would say that the layout in terms of numbering should be fixed. I know that they say to park by the lake in the park but that makes no sense considering the whole course is on the other side.

Other Thoughts:

This course is in great shape and for the most part the locals are very friendly. I have been playing this course since it first opened and every time I come back to play, something new surprises me whether it be a new pin placement, landscape, or new holes. This course plays well and is well kept up. The people who have put all the time and effort into the course have done an amazing job. I appreciate all they have done for us discgolfers and hope that they continue to put the effort in that it deserves. Nor Cal represent!

Pros:

-Very open, with most of the trees growing within 100 feet of the pen, which allows for some very nice birdie setups on nearly every hole.

-Three more holes under the bridge to the right of hole #1 that are played along the water. VERY awesome and similar to Berkeley, without the long wait for people on that damn hiking trail.

-Lots of pro/semi-pro players play there and they're very receptive to newbies. When I was starting playing a bunch of people on the board allowed me to play doubles with them and eventually it just clicked.

Cons:

-I can't think of many, but for one thing, the place most people park when they come to the park is on the side of the road next to the freeway, they then have to tee down #8 and #9 to play to get to #1. Their reasoning is that there is a park entrance on the other side(one that less than 10% of the players use).

Other Thoughts:

All in all this is a very quick and fun course. If you're coming through California to play some disc golf courses I would check out De La Veaga, Monterey has 3 alright ones, and Hellyer/Delaraza in San Jose, as they're all within driving distance of one another.

Windy 2+ years drive by

Pros:

Nice course, short but challanging.

Cons:

Windy, the mountains are lined up pushing the coastal winds into the area, relly throws your disk around.
