Pros:

-Paloma del Sol is a 9-hole course at the well-maintained Corte Cabrera Park in Temecula, CA. The park includes a basketball court, tennis court, a large playground, several paths, and plenty of green grass.

-The course makes the maximum use of the land available. Holes range from short pitch shots to driver shots. #1 is the longest hole at 326 ft. Holes 1 and 9 share a basket.

-The signs are among the best I've seen, including a map and distance of the current hole, park guidelines and information, and a course map.

-Most holes play open with the basket next to a few trees. Hole #7 is easily the most challenging hole, demanding a low, straight tunnel shot of 300 feet, slightly downhill.

Cons:

-Older reviews mention blind, dangerous holes. The course has been re-routed so that no holes play blind anymore. However, several holes still play dangerous. Almost every hole plays over one or multiple walking paths. Additionally, hole 1 plays directly over the basketball courts, hole 4 plays within range of the playground, and hole 7 requires a low line drive, not the safest shot in a multi-use park. Finally, every hole could be made unusable by a picnic or a soccer game. Don't come expecting to play every hole.

Other Thoughts:

-The course plays great for a forehand or left-handed player. Holes 3, 4, 5, 8, and 9 all set up very well for a left-to-right shot.

-It's a suitable but not great course for beginners. The holes are short to moderate in length, but the possibility of hitting someone with a sideways shot is too high.

-This is a great practice course. It's unlikely that all 9 holes will be playable at any given time, so making a safari layout as you go or bringing a box of discs for practice are great ideas.
