It's definitely a course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 16, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

There's nine baskets and almost nine tee markers.
They keep the grass mowed.

Cons:

Almost everything else.
It looks like they built a new playground relatively recently that required them to move a couple of the holes. Thus, the course map on site is completely wrong and what's left feels even more crowded.
There's only a handful of small trees, so they've got mandos everywhere. Yellow posts three or four feet high, and most of them are downright stupid or dangerous. Some require you to throw dangerously close to the playground. Some require you to throw towards a street. Some require you to throw towards a canal that could easily eat a disc with an errant gust, and it can definitely get windy out here.

Other Thoughts:

The tee markers are small concrete pads about the size of parking bumper, but set flush (or slightly below) the ground. A couple are missing, and the rest can be hard to find until you're standing on them. There's nothing standing above the ground that actually shows you where they are.
I was the only person playing on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon, but a couple of people came out to use the area as a dog run while I was on the other side of the course.
It's the only course for more than an hour in any direction, and I suppose it's better than nothing, but I'd really rather be playing in the desert than crammed into this little corner of a park with hazards all around.

Please play it and help it grow. 2+ years drive by

Pros:

The only 9 baskets within a 100 mile radius. The course is 100% grass covered.

Cons:

It's absolutely flat. You will not find more shade than that of the mando poles, the baskets and your own. There are some newly planted trees, but for now they are just twigs at the southern end near the fence near hole 8. The narrow fairway is tough at 6 and 8 on the OB side. I went OB on 6, luckily there was a hole cut in the fence to retrieve a disc that missed the drink. The canal is some place you may NOT go in to get your plastic back. Also, keep it near the basket at 2, in order to avoid the playground and away from the picnic table near basket 8. This place is used heavily by non players after noon on Sundays, so get there early.

Other Thoughts:

This course is new and a parks person observed our use from a distance. I hope they got a good impression since I only had a cobra and an ultimate disc with me. Drove 55 miles to play there, but for some reason, I wasn't disappointed. There's lots of room for improvement and I think it will get there eventually. WARNING: This place is extremely hot from middle of May through Mid October. Bring water. It's turning out to be a great park. I look forward to practicing here in the future and eventually play a full round.
