Pros:
- The potential for this course is very high.
- Beautiful area with no crowds.
- Some concrete pads.
Cons:
- No signs or paths for tee pads.
- Some concrete pads, but many missing pads. ( I'm ok with dirt or mats, but still need to know where they are)
- lots of poison oak
Other Thoughts:
We had the map printed from DGCR and lots of time to play. Which was a good thing because we spent a LOT of time looking for pads and baskets. Never found pad 5 which we just played near the road. We guesssed at a fairly flat spot for 6 and 10. The first 12 holes took more time than 18 would at another course. Than we got to 13. By looking at the map in reference to the adjacent house, we think we found a flat area to throw from. We left our bags and went looking for the pin. ( We had done this many times for previous holes ) We walked approx 400' to 500' up a hill and found a basket that did not have a number on it. With the elivation difference, it would have needed to be a par 5 which the score card had it as a 3. We walked back down grabbed our bags and threw in the white flag. I've played over 100 courses (I know that's not a huge amount) and this is the most difficult I've played for navigating with a map in hand. To be fair I only go to courses rated above a 3. ( which this should not be yet ) I made the mistake by not reading recent reviews first, which would have been helpful.
