Beautiful views
Great Scenery and variety of terrain
Wildlife abounds
Wide open shots
Variety of holes to enhance strategy
Different pin layouts
Not crowded (even on a weekend)
Free to play (except perhaps for parking)

Layout/Map is confusing (the 'next tee' sign after basket #4 is not correct for the standard 18 layout)
No water/facilities once on the course
Many blind/long shots from the tee will either necessitate a spotter and/or discourage beginners and/or cause lost discs.

This course is truly a gift if you love nature and wildlife. I was able to take some great photos of turkeys, hares, deer, ducks, geese, and herons to name a few.

Being able to play here for free (parking is free the first Saturday of the month) was an added bonus.

The course itself is very challenging and not too beginner-friendly nor is it easy to figure out the layout if this is your first time here.

We played the first weekend in June and the temperatures did get pretty hot by mid-day. Normally I carry a lot of discs and a little bit of water. For this course in the summer I would recommend the opposite. Bring a large water bladder and a few discs. There is no water after the parking lot. And it is a long hike back to the car if you get thirsty mid-way through a round.

There are ticks in this area. Be careful if you put your bag on the ground at any time. I had to inspect my bag and found a tick on it when we were leaving. Also, I got poison oak as well. So please be careful and bring some bug spray / itch ointment with you just to be safe.

Also, this is/was a cell phone dead zone for all of us. I would recommend downloading the map (both as a picture and through your favorite scoring app) before getting to the park. That way you will have a reference for your entire round.

All in all it is a beautiful, natural course that has a lovely variety of holes and elevations -- it just plays best if you have a spotter and an idea of the layout ahead of time.

There is beautiful scenery throughout and you have views of Stafford Lake from almost everywhere on the course. Some very interesting holes and right from the get go too. #1 goes steeply up the side of the hill and is unlike anything I have played. #6 must be the signature hole with epic views of the lake, and the 1000+ ft par 5 9th is without a doubt the longest hole I have played. Tee pads were solid and I liked the fact that even on a weekend during the summer it wasn't crowded at all.

This is the 1st time I've had to pay to play and it was 10$ on a Sunday. The wind was fierce when played, and being so near the ocean I'd imagine there is some sort of breeze to deal with most of the time. 2' weeds are everywhere out here so it's just a matter of time before your searching for a disc. Poison oak is never fun to get, and there was a LOT of that out there as well. The washer system for pin locations was wrong on most holes when visited so we had to spend extra time searching for baskets. Due to the number of blind shots and the high weeds I'd definitely recommend you play this course with a spotter.

I chose to play here instead of others when in the Bay because this course was so highly reviewed. After playing, there is no doubt in my opinion that this course is overrated. I would however, like to see this place during the spring, when everything is green and the weeds are down. As played, I stand by my rating.

- Epic Elevation Shots
- Beautiful scenery
- Length (1000 footer!!)
- Detailed Tee Signs

- Extremely rough, high sticky grass with no real fairways, bring a spotter or you'll lose some discs
- Blind holes (12 holes from the pro tees)
- Wind, part of the game but kills the long holes
- Difficulty: I wouldn't recommend it for a casual player.

I liked this course but think it's a little overrated. The shots are fun but the wind/elevation/vegetation/blindness make things very risky. If you have a big game and want to play on some CA hills, go play it but be ready for some rough grass and some wind.
