Pros:
This is one really lovely park. The park is gently rolling, green grassy hills. You can tell there is money here with the first class horseshoe pits, lots of nice picnic shelters, big barbecue pits with the roll up grates and my favorite, an absolute cool, concrete Pirate's ship which sits in the pond.
The course starts near the horseshoe pits and mostly plays in clockwise direction around the perimeter of the park. The tee pads are the patio block set in a wood frame model that seems to be the popular choice for courses on the California coast. The tee signs are wonderful informative signs, set under plexiglass. Each sign has a picture of the hole sponsor, as well as a picture map for that hole. Almost every tee sign has two bag hooks welded on the back side.
The holes are of varying lengths from 154' up to # 14's 577'. There are wide open holes, like # 14 and holes where the baskets are hidden behind trees or over small hills. I think this is a course that beginners up to Intermediates players can play and enjoy. Although, it's decently long, beginners might like it's "no rough" and usually no OB's.
The course loops around with 18 finishing right near the start.
I was liking the course all right and then I came upon # 17 and # 18 at the end. Although, not difficult, I think they are both classically beautiful holes from an visual sense. Both have baskets that are just barely visual. On 17, only the top half of the basket can be seen and on 18, you can just barely see the top. Both have throwing over small hills and valleys and then around trees.
Cons:
There are OB possibilities on 2, 3 and 7.
I guess the pads could be a couple feet longer.
# 14 was a boring 577' open hole across the center lawn.
There are a couple places where navigation got a little confusing.
Other Thoughts:
Can I say again how cool I thought 17 and 18 were. They are a great way to end your round here. I added a .5 to my rating here because of them. This is such a lovely park. It's a destination park so bring your kiddies and wife. My wife loved walking the paths and then just basking in the warm sun.
