Pros:
- Course design makes good use of the topography, and provides some nice variation from the holes at nearby Chavez Ridge.
- Unlike at Chavez, there's grass!!
- Nice views of the city.
- New baskets.
And that's about where the pros end...

Cons:
- LOTS of bystanders. Several groups of people looking sketchy near the parking lot, homeless people sleeping on fairways, people playing with their dogs (off leash), picnics, etc. We spoke with a few folks that were unhappy that their nice picnic area was now a DG course. Felt pretty unwelcome for much of the round. There were maybe 2 holes where we were able to throw actual drives, and more than a few holes were unplayable due to park patrons.
- Not many tee pads, and virtually no signage.
- Trash everywhere.
- Hole one didn't seem to have a basket, and there were several "tee pads" that we just couldn't find at all. We spent most of the time arguing over our interpretations of the vague map.

Other Thoughts:
This course is definitely a work in progress, and I'll circle back here to update this review as it evolves. In time, I could see it being a great warm-up course before a more serious round down the road at Chavez Ridge. For now, though, she's not worth playing.
