Man, I wish I could remember who's review I read the other day that said the swore they saw a prostitute giving a blow job on one of the holes. I laughed my butt off and had to read it twice to make sure I wasn't misreading it.
Not sure how you would misread something into that unless it was really on your mind to get a bj from a prostitute
Even if I wasn't a happy guy at home, that would never be the case. I think I was double checking to see if he wrote that he got one or was witnessing it. LOL

The course is addictive like a scratch off lottery ticket, everytime you get so close that you want to keep trying over and over....Playing this course is like beating Jessica Simpson in Jeopardy, it's fun at first, but eventually you will want a challenge.
.....I think its even more silly that you 'avoid it outright' because of it. Do you think they are going to ask you to join or something? Are you afraid of gay people? Please. Even if it was happening, I'm sure we would just laugh or something and move on......
People weren't laughing when the course was first installed. There were propositions made, naked dudes streaking the fairways, and moaning bushes.
And... I didn't completely avoid the place... as per my recent review of it. I just waited 4 years to play it.
And... according to my extremely trustworthy connections in So-Cal, they still do meet there... just not on the actual course anymore.

Only one person has read my review, so I have to post my own, it is not the funniest review, but it sums up the course interestingly:
Cubby's Wet Dream
The entire course is flat. So flat in fact, it could probably get certified for the Americans With Disabilities Act.
This is a possible round at Hackets:
Hole #1 Hit a car after my drive bounced off a tree into the street 10 feet away.
Hole #2 Got hit by a golf ball as I played through the established ball golf driving range and angered at busted basket
Hole #3 Continued to dodge golf ball drives and hurried my anhyzer drive into the thorn bushes behind the basket.
Hole #4 I can't find the tee oh its the spray painted line on the road....drive into thorn bushes directly next to basket on the right of basket
Hole #5 Boring short open hole
Hole #6 Short drive downhill decapitates old man jogging on walking path 2 feet behind basket.
Hole#7 I drive with golf balls screaming up my backside as I again am skirting the driving range, damn I hit another car cause the access road is directly next to the fairway
Hole#8 Another short drive with a very busy street as a backdrop and the access road bordering the right of the fairway....thwack damn another car.
Hole#9 Oh cool I get to throw into oncoming traffic on both sides of this fairway..awesome! Thwack another car!
Hole #10 Hmm I have a choice hit those children playing on the playground next to the basket or risk another shot into the access road. Thwack! OUCH Mommy! good I did not hit a car.
Hole #11 Another throw into an incoming road and the anhyzer actually promotes playing into the road. thwack!
Hole #12 Cool island fairway surrounded by access roads Yay! Thwack!
Hole #13 Hyzer with road bordering right of fairway and thorn bushes to the left...hmm choices...Thwack
Hole #14 wow what an awesome hill gotta be a 100 foot drop open green nothing there heres the tee and the basket is not down the hill but innocently over there across from me...maybe I can just throw down this fairway and empty my bag and go home instead! No I will finish it's gotta get better?
Hole #15 Holy Jungle Im bleeding wheres the tee wheres the fairway wheres the basket shoot wheres my disc.
Hole#16 cool as hell shot here but again the weeds have overgrown to over my head and its jack in the beanstalks looking for my disc...
Hole #17 awesome downhill drive tight through woods but again so overgrown unless your disc is 5 feet wide and bright orange your gonna lose it I am bleeding itchy and so pissed off
Hole #18 Thank god its finally over now I get to shoot halfway up that huge hill and walk up the huge hill to my car and go cry.....who builds a course and does not use the hugest hill except for a long nasty walk back to the lot..
Other Thoughts: I hope my dramatization has captured the essence of this course...It is perhaps the greatest piece of land being completely put to waste....It is comically sad. Final thought..Most of the holes have somehow managed to be both short and no fun and dangerous. Takes some kind of skill to design a course this bad on a prime piece of land like this.
The trees are very very graby,it can be a bit like throwing a sweater in a velcro factory.
