Pros:
Awesome location and very welcomed addition to DGC-thirsty chuckers in the Bay Area. Neatly located between downtown WC & Pleasant Hill. Good distances as far as 325ft. and as short as 190ft. Dual basket locations per hole. Really nice Hyser windows on #4 and #6. Sidearmer's delight on #7. Plenty of trees. Most of the course makes maximum use of otherwise ignored space bordered by the Iron Horse Trail. Excellent signage and baskets. Decent but shortish cement teepads. Very good playground, basketball, restroom & picnic facilities onsite. I could tell the designers were cognizant not to have DG play interfere with otherwise normal park activities.
Cons:
The layout up to hole 6 is good to decent, but gets a little whacky after basket 7. The #8 teepad is placed in an unintuitive location and the teeshot criss-crosses the approach shot on #7. The teeshot on #9 also crosses fairways with #8. I wonder how high the danger concerns are here. Flat.
Other Thoughts:
Props to the City and Individuals who made this course a reality! An old lady named Betsy, who's been taking walks through Walden for years, asked me what this strange sport is, and also commented that she thinks it's a good addition. I hope Fallon Park in Dublin is another candidate for a 9 or 18-holer.
==================
Uniqueness: B- (nothing too unique here; it's cool that the mature trees makes the course feel much older than it is)
Difficulty: B+ (lot's of grabby trees force some tight windows and low ceilings; flat but breezy; medium to short in length)
Fun factor: B+ (decent DG traffic already; would be a fun betting course)
Aesthetics: A- (really nice neighborhood park with some decent shade; a couple of fencelines and buildings around the perimeter)
-------------------
Overall: B+
