Nice addition for Disc Golf 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 18, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-In the center of a large population that is has a very limited number of 18 hole courses.
-Enough challenge for intermediate player.
-Can complete a round at the uncongested course in about an hour.
-Looks like multiple pin positions.

Cons:

-Confusing lay-out.
-Questionable Tee signs.
-Poor flow between holes.
-Plenty of gopher holes around some of the baskets.

Other Thoughts:

I'm glad this course is here, since it's 5 minutes from my in-laws house when we come to visit. I found only a pair of golfers here on Friday afternoon who let me play through, no problem. The scant trees that mark the golf fairways are well used for disc golf, but provide little relief from the blazing sun in August. On Saturday afternoon there was only one pair of golfers and a three-some of disc golfers and me. No congestion here.
The flow between holes should be corrected with the long hikes that were already reported between holes. Not all the baskets have their hole number displayed that adds some confusion where pins are closely located.
The tee signs don't seem to correctly indicate the pin position or distance and a few are just missing with the tee number drawn on with a sharpie.
Things to note: Hole 16 tee pad in next to the hole 6 tee pad, the map is incorrect. Hole 9 and 18 share the same teepad but the 18 sign is missing.
I would have played a second round on Saturday except for the blazing August sun. I like it enough that I'll be back next time I visit. I also played near-by Veterans park in Sylmar. Both are worth a visit if you're in the area.

Other Thoughts:

Something really is better than nothing with this place. Management has explained the future development of the property and I look forward to seeing it come to fruition.

While playing here I was nearly hit by a golf ball. I walked over to the player and tried to talk to him but he ignored me and kept playing. He lined up his next shot while the rest of my card was on the green putting out and I had to stop the guy from hitting because he didn't care that we were on the course. I tried to explain that this was a mixed golf course and that the rules of "safe play" still applied for all of us. I don't think he understood but for all I know he may just not have cared.

If you want to try something new this is worth checking out but don't think of this as a destination course.
