Pros:
Cooper Gulch has the same vibe that the other two nine hole courses (Manila Bay & Mad River) have. That is, the typical nine park course around here, kind of a fun little throw, maybe a little run down, lots of shady characters hanging around but a course that has a niche in disc golf and gets a decent amount of use.
The gnarly looking, bent over twisted trees made for some interesting and challenging approach shots.
The holes are fairly short, easy birdies. It's definitely plays as a recreational level course.
Cons:
I actually had kind of a hard time finding my way around. There were paths leading off in all sorts of direction. I needed a guide!
The creek was pretty rank. I'd try to keep my discs out of it at all costs.
Mix of natural and concrete pads.
Other Thoughts:
I guess the lovely coastal California climate attracts the homeless types. I'm not used to seeing them in such numbers up north. Makes me a little uneasy.
Of the three local nine hole courses, I'd probably frequent Coops the least. I was a little more comfortable over at Manila Bay.
