Pros:
Mojave Narrows is a large sprawling park which seems to attract the local fishermen to the shores of Horseshoe Lake. The disc golf course is set at the very back of the park tight on the shore of the lake. It's a lovely setting for the course. I hate to disagree with the previous reviewer but Mojave Narrows is about as far from being a technical course as a Prius is from being a Formula One car. The front nine is fairly wide open with some holes having nothing but green grass as obstacles. The back nine plays in a typical park picnic area with scattered trees.
I think this course is perfect for ........bringing those new or beginning players who can't really control their throws yet. Because this course is so wide open and forgiving, those types won't get into much trouble here and will have a great time.
The course has nice concrete tee pads. The baskets are Innova Discatchers with the small numbers on the band. What's missing is the tee signs. I needed them. I had the on-line map printed off but frankly, I I had a difficult time reading the tiny little print and scribbles. Someone had written a tiny little number 17 on the corner of the # 17 tee pad with sharpie. I wrote a 18 on the 18th pad. It would have made my navigation much easier and quicker if someone would write the numbers on all the pads. Will that sharpie last on the tee pads?
# 5 is a pretty cool hole. It's about 250' with the basket protected by one big tree stump with about 6 trees growing out of it. One is broke off leaving a gap about 18" wide. I stuck my tee shot through that small gap just nicking one of the sides and possibly preventing an ACE.

Other Thoughts:
The grass is nicely soft and squishy to walk on. At least is was in late March. It will probably be brown and scratchy later this summer.
I think better players will be underwhelmed here. Total rec players like myself, might fit this course better. And the more in-experienced, less controlled players might like these wide open spaces the most of all.
