+ First 4 holes have decent trees for challenge
+ Multiple tee spots and basket locations for variety
+ Decent shade on the first 4 holes
+ Baskets are in good condition
+ Mild hills add additional challenge
+ Somewhat secluded and quiet depending on time of day/week

- Last 5 holes wasn't thought out as well as they could have
- Hole 8 and 9 take you to a distant area that requires a decent walk back to start
- No shade for last 5 holes
- Stinging nettle and poison oak is around. Watch where you step.
- Some holes surrounded by fences touting "No Trespassing" and establishments have spread KY Jelly on the top of the fence so bring a towel to wipe off.
- Decent size creek runs along side some holes and no established way to cross. Again, bring towel to wipe off feet.
- Signage could use some upkeep

I play here a lot because it's close to work and I can spend an hour or so with friends. Has some variety in routes but the lack of thought put into the last 5 is a bit disappointing after a good start.

I played two days in a row at this park to get a good feel for it before a tournament.

-Good mixture of short/challenging holes and longer shots that allow you to 'air it out' so to speak

-Pretty much empty. I played on a Saturday/Sunday and only ended up running into one other player (who I happened to know)

-Every pin has a basket and a well marked tee sign. There are no 'blind shots' for better or worse~

-Fenced baseball diamonds nearby if you want to do some field work on a certain throw

-Very clean, I didn't come across any litter in my time there

-Easy to get to, if you are coming from the east bay just exit on North Livermore Ave, turn right and continue for 2.5 miles or so until you see the park on the right

-My favorite hole is #2, it's about 150 feet skill shot that wraps around a corner. My route is using a disc that will come back hard and flicking around lightly to the left(xcaliber) or right up the middle with my putter (ridge)

-Tee pads are horrible. They are not rubber, they are not concrete, they are dirt-- many times these dirt tee pads have giant holes and rocks all throughout them so getting a good footing can be a problem at times.

-When you finish the course, you basically have to walk through the course again to get out, rather than end somewhat near the starting point. It's walk through the course again, or spend 2x longer trying to walk around the Church~

-River on the backside with holes 8/9 on the left hand side. Be careful around it, saw a couple people lose discs while we are over there. I personally consider the river being a bit of a pro, but for some it could lead to frustration so aim right.

Tee One was hard to find the first time there (turns out its right next to the parking lot lol). We ended up making up our own tee by the bleachers which ended up being a pretty sweet little putter hole.

This course is definitely a beginner course, but there are some good practice shots. Hole 4 is a tough hole to get a 2 on because it's hard to get proper placement to make your up shot. Play for a three there and shoot for a two on everything else~

The Disc Golf Club 'Hyzer Than You' is often around the area, if you happen to see one of them they are very nice guys.

Accurate signs at each tee that are new and graffiti free. Nice new baskets. Rubber tee pads. Really good use of the available terrain. Almost no interference between holes, rarely do other players even come into your shot. Really clean park. No poison oak.

The course was kind of flat and wide open for my taste, but that's entirely subjective. So be it. The rubber tee pads are a tad short, but it's not really an issue. Yellow jacket nests in the groud on holes 8, and 9. (not seen the last time I played)

Park at the last driveway before you hit Concannon, really simplifies things. The first time I came out here we parked at the main parking lot at the park. It's a LONG walk to find hole 1. My fault entirely. There are frequently trees in play, but this is definitely not a wooded course. The trees are short and there isn't a lot of shade. Holes 2 and 3 are really short, but the trees shape the line and will punish a bad shot. Mostly hard to lose a disc if you're paying attention, but there are a few tricky spots that really require spotters. The creek does come into play if you have a bad shank. I hit it on 8 due to a rushed shot. My drive landed 5 feet past an in ground, yellow jacket nest. Watch out. I liked the balance of hole length. From tricky, short shot's with trees, to long bomber holes. there are always trees that force an interesting shot even on the open holes.I like this spot. The navigation was really easy as a first timer.


Update; There is no water in the creek. The restrooms are locked and the bee's aren't an issue. Bring water and a hat. It gets hot. Still a fun course. A LOT better than San Ramon!

• Easy to find and navigate with a map or the tee signs
• Great tee signage
• Restrooms and water
• Interesting surroundings
• Par is attainable
• Brand new Mach 5 baskets in the lovely orange color

• Tees are mostly dirt
• Terrain can be a bit treacherous
• Poison oak in a couple spots

Tips:
• Bring a map
• Wear good footwear and watch where you step
• You'll notice alternate tees here and there (little pink stringy markers in the ground) but the ones with the signs are the ones you're looking for on the map
• The fence behind #7 is lower than the ones by the softball field and you're throwing up towards it. Do be careful.
• After finishing #7, turn to the left and you'll see a way to get down to the walking path that will take you around to the right to #8. If you go straight, you'll have to navigate down a fairly steep cliff.

Random Thoughts:
It is so good to see more courses popping up in the East Bay. This course seems like it's still a work in progress, as the baskets and signs were fantastic but the tees were just marked in the ground pretty much as is. I did also notice some alternate tee markings here and there for perhaps some long/alternate tees in the future(?) Incidentally, #2 long...yikes. Where I did find this course rather interesting is in its locale. It's located in an area between and behind a softball complex and a church/school and what's interesting about that is the terrain you'll come across in such a small area. There are trees, wide open sandy spots, steep crevices, rocky areas, bushy areas, and a stream running through it all. I found myself enjoying the scenery as I climbed around the course. There's even a vineyard across the street near the basket on #4. The holes, as you might expect, take you through all of this. There are a couple holes that demand precise throwing off the tee but most of the holes give you a fair amount of room to let fly. The main thing you'll want to pay attention to is your landing zone. You can be in a great position for your second throw or be 10' away in a terrible position due to the terrain so do have a plan when you let go. Also pay attention to some areas of poison oak on holes #6-8 in the dry stream bed and near the stream itself. I imagine it's quite easy to hyzer (RHBH) your way into these spots if you're not paying attention. #8 is particularly unkind to missing left as I witnessed from a group in front of me. Having said all that, I found par to be attainable on this course as long as you're not over-aggressive. Pay attention to your distance and landing area and you'll be ok.

Bottom Line:
This is an interesting course in its scenery and layout. While a bit treacherous in spots, I found it to be a fair course, and I enjoyed the round overall. I will be back soon.
