Nice, but open

Pros: The course plays through rolling grassy hills with scattered mature trees. Most holes have a few trees in play that you need to avoid, a few with some low ceilings to contend with. One hole has a nice water hazard on the right, tempting righties with a big hyzer line over the water that's risky but the most direct line to the pin. The elevation changes in the park were well used to add challenge and fun, with a nice mix of uphill and downhill holes.
The park is beautifully maintained, with nicely mowed grass and no trash outside of the plentiful trash cans. The tees are nice grippy concrete pads, with basic tee signs giving the distance to the pin. The baskets were in decent shape and had numbers facing the tee which is always helpful. There's a practice basket near the parking lot with some tree around it and enough open space to practice some approaches too.

Cons: The course is pretty open overall. The available trees are used quite well, but the nature of the park keeps it from being all that technical a course. Because of this, you often aren't pushed to hit a specific line, most holes allow for many different shots so you never have to use a variety of shots. The design obviously tried to compensate with distance, but that means there are a lot of tweener holes that are too long for most players to reach for a birdie chance but too short and open to produce many bogies.
There are several spots where navigation isn't totally obvious, the closest tee isn't always the next one. There are also some holes where multiple baskets are in view, you sometimes have to walk up to be able to read the numbers and figure out where to throw. There are lots of picnic areas in play throughout the course, only a couple were in use the day I played but I can imagine some safety issues on a nice weekend afternoon.

Other Thoughts: There are some nice holes here, but there are also a lot of open shots. It's a great place to throw some nice long drives and work on rollers. Beginners might find it a little long, but outside of the water hole there isn't too much punishment for inaccurate drives. More experienced players won't find a lot of line shaping challenges, but you'll have to throw some accurate drives to score well and might have to contend with wind. It's a little pricey to enter the park, but if you load up a group and split the fee it's not too bad.

Cons: Probably would get boring after repetitive play
some throwing line cross over
might be crowded for a tourney.

Other Thoughts: Nice get away park. Worth the side trip if you are in the area. Fun play to get out and let it rip and score low.

Pleasantly Surprised Pros: Wide open and beautiful scenerly. The tees and baskets are very well marked. This course gives you several different views and makes you use your different shot styles. I used backhands, forehands and hammers. It is nice when you can bring out the entire gambit of your shots. It's nice to throw around a lake and not lose discs.
Cons: Early in the morning...sprinklers are running and it is pretty wet overall. In addition, it mostly smells like cow maneure.
Other Thoughts: I was thinking it would be further to drive to from Orange, but it was actually only about 25 minutes. I would definitely play this course on a regular basis.
Fun to play
Pros: - Nice scenic park in a rural area with great views.
- Flat areas with small rolling hills allows for a variety of shot types.
- Good use of trees (evergreen and decidious), hills and water on most holes.
- Good mix of hole lengths. Good shots are rewarded with birdy opps.
- 18 Brand new Discatcher baskets

Cons: - The layout felt a bit crampt. Some of the tee postions conflict with other fairways.
- There are a few holes you shoot blind over a hill. Would be nice to use tall flags on these pins.
- #2 shoots blind over a small hill and back toward Tee 1, Tee 3, and lunch bench area.
- Grass tees
- Park was pretty windy the whole day I was there (seems other reviewers experienced similar conditons).

Other Thoughts: Fun little course - Looking forward to playing it more and seeing it evolve w/ optional tee/pin locations.

Cons: -Pay to enter the park ($7). Annual passes are available but they're over a hundred bones. They do get you into most the other San Bernadino parks though including Yuciapa I believe.
-Natural tees and minimal signage, but cmon, it's brand spankin new!
-Soothing sound of the nearby shooting range. (Not really that big a deal)
-Park closes at 5 during the winter

Other Thoughts: This is a good course that is fun to play for all skill levels, tough par course for beginners and an ace runnin' birdie course to skilled players. A great thing about the course is that it is easy to stretch a tee box here or there to really challenge better players. Not a lot either, 30-50' here and there and this course becomes a lot tougher.
Version 1.0 of the course is good and it will only get better with age. More pin locations, permanent tee boxes, a couple layout things ironed out and the course will be a solid course to work on your game.
There is a LOT of potential at this course and I'm looking forward to watching it progess into a great DG location.
