Pros:
-This course plays through a nice area with mature trees on the Tektronix campus. It is well designed, with a variety of shots. The course starts off with two relatively simple warm ups. Every hole after that demands considerable precision with both backhand and forehand shots to navigate a number of mature trees.
-It's well maintained with short grass and pruned trees.
-New Innova Discatcher baskets.
-Two noteworthy holes were #3, a tight, uphill forehand flex, and #7, a short, technical shot to an "island" green in the parking lot. No real risk of hitting a car here, BTW.
Cons:
-The brick paver tee pads provide a nice grip. However, they're slightly raised and feature a wood border. Make sure not to trip on your run-up.
-No signage, but the layout is fairly easy to follow.
-Parking lots and roads come into play frequently, but Hole 9 is the only hole with a real safety issue. It plays directly over the corner of the parking lot. During the weekend it's empty, but a lunchtime round at work would be another story.
Other Thoughts:
-I played here on a rainy Saturday, usually a good time to play an office park course. Our round went smoothly until the last hole, when we were approached by a security person who informed us that the course was only available to Tektronix and Nike employees. :-(
-It's a shame this course isn't open to the public. I'd certainly agree with colink that this is the most fun/challenging course in the area, topping Orchard and Greenway. My suggestion: Post a sign by the first tee stating:
1. No Drinking/Smoking
2. No Loud Music or Rowdy Behavior
3. Be Respectful of the Property and Don't Litter
4. Public play only allowed on Weekends
5. Violation of rules may result in expulsion.
6. Any other important campus rules
