Cons:
- Main bathroom facilities are terrible. You have to sneak into the Elks Lodge bathroom, and even then it's not the best
- Houses very close to course so you have to be fairly precise
- Long drive, location is not convenient

Really cool that you can play with your friends who play golf. It makes it a really fun time. Seems to be the only course on the mid-peninsula

Pros:
-UPDATE 2/22
NEW C PINS on each hole + bonus hole 4.5 (between hole 4 and 5), a short technical wooded hole unlike anything else on the course! Course is really beautiful and playing tough...especially on alt league days. Have fun!
-UPDATE 9/21...
-CONCRETE TEES are installed and amazing! They bump the experience up by half a star for me. It took a while for it to happen, but we got them and the course hasn't ever played better!
- elevation changes throughout the course and at most basket positions make things very exciting. Several epic drives (6 par 4s over the 36 distinct golf shots). Tons of death putts!
- if we weren't in a drought, some significant water carries, including a 350ft water carry on the 12th tee.
- OB on every hole to avoid in greens and bunkers (as well as paved areas and property lines)
- fun rips downhill, uphill, sidehill...challenging but fair
- a couple of fun ace runs
- mach V red and blue baskets
- carts available.YES
- beer fridge and snacks on site
- less than 10 minutes from my house
- an excellent bar for elks members. A pool to cool off in during the summer.
- glow, dubs, weeklies, bigger tournies all being planned
- really cool and helpful people working the pro shop and elks members who love disc golf.
- not crowded...
- two practice baskets on the putting green.

Cons:
- Wish there were more trees for more technical shots. But hey, it's a golf course so....
- Wish the golf course was longer so you didn't have to either throw multiples or loop through twice to get in 18
- rollaways can be a buzzkill. They happen to almost everyone so the playing field is level
- a little out of the way despite it's proximity to a major freeway. Be careful on those roads!

FULL DISCLOSURE. I am the co designer of this course and as such want to see it succeed. Despite this fact, I am honest about the cons that I see here so far.
I hope you enjoy the experience of playing in a more manicured setting with challenges abounding. Please be courteous to other course users!
Update: I will bump this course up at least a half a star once we get tees and signage in. I think the combination of great golf shots, amenities, scenery, etc warrant that kind of a rating.
Update 3/2017: AS OF 3/6/2017, PRICING HAS DROPPED TO $5 FOR 9, $3 FOR REPLAYS. This is a huge discount from what it was before. Also, the tees are in the process of being finished. I'm bumping this course up to a 4. I will go to 4.5 if/when they ever get a bar and grill open to the public.
