Upgrade from the past 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 4, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Baskets vs. 6x6 redwood posts of the past.

AM and PRO tee pad location for 7 of the 9 holes to make for 18 holes.

Cons:

Never found tee pad/sign for hole #2. According to the course map, the tee pad is on the path at the corner of the community garden.

Tee pads are natural and other than the signs not very well marked.

Other Thoughts:

$4.00 for two hour parking pass and $8.00 for a day pass.

Hole one starts at the north end of the sports field, east of the pool/workout facility. Hole 9 finishes at the parking lot to the south of the sports fields. For parking, either park at the hole 9 for a short walk back to the car, or park near the tennis courts with a short walk to hole 1 for a long walk back to the car from hole 9. If it were me, I would park in the south lot and take a warm up walk up the hill to hole 1.

Good wide open course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 25, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

9 holes, 7 of which have AM and Pro tee locations. Playing the Am tees followed by the Pro tees makes a nice 18 hole course. The holes may seem short in distance, but each hole is up hill or down hill. With no trees to block the wind, the wind definitely plays a factor. The views from this course are fantastic, you can see the ocean and Monterey bay.

Cons:

Each hole has 1 tee sign listing both the Am and Pro distance to the basket. (I never did find the sign for hole number two.) Sometimes the tee sign is in the AM location and sometimes in the Pro location. The second tee for every hole was marked with red flags. A tee sign at each tee location would be nice.

Other Thoughts:

There are little to no trees or bushes between the tee and basket on each hole. The "Challenge" was playing up or down hill and dealing with the wind. I played in the early morning. There was little wind most of the time, but each time I got near hole 7, gusts of wind would be strong enough to moved my shirt sleeves around. As a new player with a 744 PDGA rating, I found this course challenging, without punishing me too much for bad shots. If I lived closer to this course, I would play it often.
