Pros:
-Although it is a course built for children, it provides ample opportunities for putt and approach practice
-And because it was built for children, all holes are definite ace runs
-Good course for a person beginning to play disc golf to start out on
-Most drives (except maybe 5 and 9) are straight point and shoot
-All holes range from 105-156 feet
-The course horseshoes back to basket 1, so you end up where you began
Cons:
-Watch out for ants in the leaf piles around basket 8
-Since it is a park, basket 2 can pose problems if people are picnicking or BBQ'ing
Other Thoughts:
Nice course to work on point, shoot, release, accuracy and mechanics.
No need to bring anything but your putters or a speed 3 disc.
The creek comes into play on baskets 1, 2, 5 and 6.
The creek portion near basket 1 tends to be dry and a non factor every time I played there.
Use your hyzer on basket 2 and the creek is not going to be a problem.
Basket 5 is 156 feet and a skinny tree in your path. Hyzer your shot between the basket and just to the left of the walkway. Be careful not to put too much on the shot or it may end up rolling into the creek. Use a disc, like a Rhyno, that will sit where it hits.
Don't hit the tree branches that are just in front of you on tee pad 6 or your disc may end up in the creek.
Tee pads are dirt patches with a 2 X 4 marking the front of the tee pad, tee pad 3 has no 2 X 4.
Bring your Disc Gator, Disc Retriever or water shoes just in case your disc goes in creek.
For Sacramento residents or people that know the Sacramento area: The course is located on Bell Street, midway between El Camino Ave and Cottage Way, across the street (sometimes referred to as behind) from Howe Park.
Easy to access using public transportation.
1) Route 87, get off at/across from Howe Avenue Elementary School then walk to Howe Park. Walk east, towards the back of the Park, then cross Bell Street and you're there.
2) Route 23, get off at Bell Street and walk south on Bell (towards and past the church on the corner) about 5 minutes and the course is on your left.
