Pros:

• Easy to find
• Nice practice area with two baskets
• Multiple basket locations
• Restrooms
• Tees are great
• Signs are great (with bonus phone holders)
• Baskets are great
• Aces and birdies await

Cons:

• Lots and lots and lots of poison oak (throw straight people!)
• Not terribly scenic for where it is

Other Thoughts:

Tips
• When you enter the parking area, you'll want to go right for the course, unless you want to be by the restroom, then go left.

Random Thoughts:
I feel like reviews of this course may be premature at this point as it feels like they're still working on it and possibly adding holes (so I hear). But for where it is now, I would describe this course as a short 12-hole course in a tight area that's just ok for me.

Hole descriptions: #1 is the only hole where you can really let fly and not be in too much trouble unless you go left. There's only one tree to really contend with on the right. #2 isn't long but is pretty much about hitting the gap and getting past the tree on the right. #3 is a short, tunnel, straight ace run. #4 is a soft, right to left, tunnely shot where you're hitting a gap about 150' out. #5 is another straight ace run. #6 ditto. #7 is a short tunnel downhill pinball hole. There really isn't a direct line so throw and hope for some tree luck. #8 is about throwing a straight tunnelly shot with a soft left finish to hit a gap about 250' out. #9 is pretty much a long tunnelly straight shot. #10 is a short, tunnely, soft right shot. #11 is really about not hitting the tree straight ahead. Throw something straight, miss the tree, and you're good. #12 has two lines, a forehand large tunnel to the left or a backhand tight tunnel to the right (both with full-ish strength). After that....head around again, why not?

Bottom Line:
Again, I highly suspect this course will be quite different in the future, but for now, it's a good place to work on straight, low-ish upshots/drives. Keep it in the fairway and you'll be in great position for a low scoring day.
