Pros:
This course was terribly frustrating to me, a very experienced traveling player. To start with, there is a little mail box type thing with Disc Golf Brochures. They were totally useless! They listed how disc golf is played. They had a scorecard for keeping score. They didn't have a map! And they didn't tell you which is the East course and which is the West course.
There is a kiosk at the start. It has no pertinent disc golf information. There is a large natural tee area here with a # 1 sign pointing two ways. One is obviously for the West course and the other # 1 is obviously for the East course but they are IDENTICAL except for the distance.
Common sense hints for Ranger Rick.
1. When you have two courses side by side, how about letting the public know which course is which? Maybe something in the sign like the word East or West! Or maybe different color maps for each?
2. When you make a course map and you have two complete 18 hole courses, don't squeeze it onto one piece of 8.5" X 11" paper in 4 point font. Try enlarging it so each 18 hole course fills one page. This also apples to Lake Amador who's map is about the same font.
The course has the old school fiberglass signs. I'm thrilled that they have held up so well. No vandalism out here. The baskets are silver DGA models with no #'s. They are so difficult to spot in the surroundings here. The tee pads are sometimes dug out natural, sometimes just on the path and in some places nothing
Cons:
No course map.
On-line map was impossible for me to decipher.
Poor signage and navigational aids.
Long open holes without almost no shot shaping needed.
Other Thoughts:
My vote for signature hole goes to the three rocks? What? On hole # 5, someone has fashioned this wonderful chair out of three of the rocks that are everywhere. Speaking of chairs/benches, the West course has zero and the East course has one. I needed one at every hole.
