Pros:
***Disclaimer*** I played this course with the Monterey Stinging Jellies DG Club. Otherwise my rating would be much lower from the first time I played it.
Layout- With hand placed portable cages/baskets put in very strategic locations and locals to show me where to tee off from and how to play the holes it was pretty awesome. Huge variety of shots required to score low. Trees and elevation changes make for some fun, challenging and interesting play.
Locals- All the guys I played with were very friendly and super helpful.
Location- Great location in relation to "downtown" with a liquor store across the street for pre/during round liquid refreshments and close to Hwy 1 freeway.
Cages- The Mach5 cages that are permanent are in excellent shape.
Family Friendly- The "Open Space" can be used for a short easy round with beginners or kids.
Cons:
Playability- This course is not consistently laid out the way I played it with portable baskets which means there is typically only 7-9 permanent baskets in a pretty open field, thus the name. Definitely look for the DG club meet-ups for a chance to play this course at its best.
Signage- There isn't any. That is all.
Tee pads- There isn't any. You can spot some where people tee off regularly, but it's loose dirt or small grit gravel that makes for inconsistent footing.
Homeless- This can be a problem, but a disc flying at them usually gets them to move.
Parking- Can be an issue during school hours at the near by college, but can usually be found within 200 yards of course just maybe not hole #1.
Amenities- No restrooms other than "nature". No benches or bag holders if you're into that thing, but since there would never be a wait it's not a problem.
Other Thoughts:
This is not a destination course unless you are coming for a DG Club meet up at which point its actually a can't miss. They set up what I would call 2 signature holes (one under the del monte shopping center bridge and one across the rivine road). If you are in the area and jonesin' for a quick pitch/putt practice session this could placate that.
