Pros:

the views are spectacular, not just towards the coast but also up the mountain, amazing setting.
westport is a lovely little quiet town with very little traffic and nice locals. there's one affordable motel, and one more expensive hotel 2 blocks south with the only restaurant in town on the ground floor. there's one convenience store with a small deli, and that's it for services. no traffic lights or gas stations. not much of this vibe further south in coastal california.

Cons:

umm, i'm gonna say besides the baskets and signs, this isn't really a course. not much going for teepads, and the fairways of the holes are almost all very tall grass(like waist-high) with scattered shrubs and the thickest, most stiff impenetrable wind-blasted short evergreen trees you've ever seen around the edges of most holes.
the tall grass hides your discs really well, and if the coastal fog is going, that grass will leave you completely soaked. if it's during a dry spell during the summer, a flick of a cigarette could set the whole region on fire. the pics on this site are nothing like what i encountered, maybe they mow the grass occasionally when the fire danger is down. the course has an abandoned feel to it as of summer/fall 2017.

Other Thoughts:

this is one of those courses i feel maybe shouldn't be on dgcr- if you've never been and don't have a guide and/or a spotter, it's not welcoming at all. no teepads, and basically no fairways. throwing over 100% rough on every hole and looking for your disc on nearly every shot. it's great for locals that they have a place to play, but for the traveler types that use dgcr these types of courses are... most people aren't gonna enjoy it.
