Well done 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 22, 2019 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Many seemingly open shots that still require quality shot shaping. Course design uses natural and man made park features to create interesting shot lines

Cons:

The neighborhood. There is a hole community of permanent campers over the ridge down by the river.

Other Thoughts:

If you have ever been to emporia Kansas you will instantly see the similarities to the Jones East and west courses. Eric McCabe has designed another demanding yet not overly punishing layout.

Pros:

So many pros. This course sets the standard for:

- Signage. From the map by the parking lot, to the tee signs on each hole, and the arrows on each basket indicating where the next tee is, everything here was clear as day. No confusion as to where to go next. OB and mandos clearly explained. Really wish every course had this level of signage.
- Teepads. Basically 3 squares of sidewalk for each tee. Super smooth, clean, and consistent. No rubber mats, puddles, or lumpy teepads here, folks. How teepads should be!
- Baskets. This was my first time playing on the Dynamic Discs Veteran baskets, and they are immediately my favorites. Grabby chains, deep cage, and I love the blue. Makes them easy to see from a distance.
- Course design. Plenty of distance, opportunities for lots of different kinds of shots. Big downhill shots, open straight shots, tight uphill shots, some fun mandos, etc. It's mostly open, with some trees to contend with here and there but nothing that would qualify as "wooded". Great use of the park.

Cons:

One hole plays near a homeless encampment. A local told us that if your disc goes down there, they'll ask for $5 to give it back. When we walked by someone came out and offered to sell us discs they had found with people's names on them. A bummer, but stay on the fairway and it shouldn't be a problem!

One hole had a lot of electrical wires in the middle of the fairway, which I thought put a damper on the beauty of the course otherwise.

We played on a Sunday morning, and there was a small DIY worship service happening under the pavilion near the parking lot. There was a band playing that was REALLY distracting, while it lasted, but otherwise they didn't impact us at all.

Other Thoughts:

If this course were closer to me I would be here every day. It's a great experience, highly recommended if you are in the area or up for a road trip.

Good course, glad to have it near by. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 2, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is a well thought out course. It is very well marked and easy to follow. Has nice concrete tee pads and maps at each tee pad. The course starts and ends at the parking lot. This course utilizes a lot of technical elevation changes and challenging up hill shots. Tons of nice old growth trees on the course.

Cons:

-Large grass sections look like they were rototilled on 3 holes I want to say 7, 8, and 9. Also seemed to be a lot of feces on these 3 holes.
-Lots of homeless coming through the park due to it being on the Santa Ana River.

Other Thoughts:

This is probably the nicest course I have played that is immedietly in Riverside. Definitely very happy to have this course near by.
