Other Thoughts:
Was excited to find this course in close proximity to my work location. It has a lot of potential if a local group takes it under their wing to maintain and add a few upgrades. Given the user-friendly nature of San Ramon Parks and Rec it would be easy to partner with them to add tee pads and signage. This could be a much better course than it is. It is not neglected like some courses; it just needs to be finished. Good for a quick round after work and a great project for some enterprising volunteers or Eagle scouts.

Played the course:once
Pros:
nice pitch and putt, I had a much more extensive review, but this site crapped me out and dumped it all, LAME-O,
nice baskets, concrete pathway,free parking bathrooms across the street, low ground cover makes it easier to find disc.
newer benches etc...

Cons:
short, if not windy would be an easy pitch and putt, but wind with hill adds difficulty
Other Thoughts:
if other land is useable for DG, it would be good to make a longer 9 hole than try to fit 18 shorties on that land, if you make it longer, they will come.

Cons:
No Tees yet
walking path through course puts hikers in the way
All except 1 shot on a hillside
Gofer holes - and snakes to go with them

Other Thoughts:
I can see that I'll use this park often as it is close to where I live. I also see a ton more room to expand this into an 18 holer but the path going through the middle is very awkward. I saw a small gofer snake up there today but that was actually pretty cool. Take a camera if you go because it has a great view of the valley and of mt Diablo.
