Pros:

Very well thought out course, they used the park in an excellent way - avoiding crossover of the baseball diamond, basketball court and kids play area so it should be safe to play most the time beside pedestrians. Nice yellow pro baskets installed. They have one hard uphill shot but a couple really nice downhills, well done. The place is very well maintained like most Simi Valley parks. It'll be difficult to lose a disc in most places. Free parking, free to play. Where to throw is nicely marked at each hole with a yellow flex-post. Definitely worth going to if you can but at 12 holes don't expect a full pro course. If I lived in Simi still I'd be here every day. every. single. day.

Cons:

I feel it's almost too left hand friendly, 9/10s the population is right handed after all - a challenge is good though. There will be other people still not used to disc golfers being around them - other sports and park goers. Would be nice to have distance and number basket on the t-off markers just to know, a couple do have the number so I don't get the inconsistency there.

Other Thoughts:

Makes me wish I lived in Simi Valley still.

Lovely little course in Simi Valley 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 28, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

* Beautiful use of the terrain, lots of fun holes up into the hills and over/around the big rock formations
* Generally well-marked tee locations (we did have trouble with hole 10)

Cons:

* Windy!

Other Thoughts:

We played this after stopping at the presidential library and it was way more fun than the library. It's a lovely course tucked into a park in a residential neighbourhood, and we were the only people playing when we stopped in.

The first few holes are in grassy areas, but the real fun starts with hole 5. We looked from the tee pad for the basket, then realized it was UP. Like way up. From hole 5 through hole 10 you meander up and down the hills with all sorts of fun downhill shots that make excellent use of the rocks. I almost birdied a hole by bouncing off a rock wall into the basket!

The only downsides we encountered were quite a bit of wind, and we never did find the tee location for hole #10.
