Needs some Love 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 22, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Good for the long-distance driving. Sand makes for a "good second shot" day. Great for people looking to work on their approach.

Cons:

Course is poorly marked. Tee signs face one direction, tee pad another, no arrows to offer direction; not all tees are flagged, and none have any sort of reflective or brightly colored tape to offer guidance. Distances on tee markers are not accurate. Mandatory listings on tee markers are not always clear (e.g., "mando right" on an open hole with a pin to the left begs explanation - mandatory right around what?). Area is open to off-road vehicles, which are loud and obnoxious. Not a whole lot of trash cans on the course, so there's lots of garbage on the course. Boring design and lack of trees & vegetation (save for sage brush) make for little more than an hour of free-flinging your discs in the dust.

Other Thoughts:

As much as I did not like this course, i liked this course. It was in my back yard so i played it 2-3 times a week.

dust bowl 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 30, 2008 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Long
-Has some signs and is navigable eventually
-Elevation changes from man made berms
-OB and mandos to add challenge

Cons:

-Little to no trees
-Dusty dry desert land

Other Thoughts:

Just a big ol' open bowl of dust surrounded by a rock berm with a few trees, OB and mandos. Long and not very interesting.
