Novice Players Only 
Pros: I have don't have any pros for this course with the exception that my girlfriend shot under par here. It is a good course for the Rec to Novice players. Not a competition level course.
Cons: I will start with course design. The first couple of holes are in a huge open area that could have been utilized much better. On several of these holes the tee sign is much too close to the tee pad. They should be moved so that there is no chance of your arm hitting them in your follow through. The tee sign acts more like an obstacle rather than being informative.
The play through the campus is scenic but not good for disc golf. They have signs stating that they want you to stick to the sidewalks but as I watched the other groups throw, they were constantly searching for there discs in the flower beds because of errant shots. This will happen often because this course attracts the novice level players.

Other Thoughts: Avoid this course if you are serious golfer. If you are the novice level player just bring your mid-range drivers and putters and you will get a fun experience and some practice to go along with it. I will not recommend this course to other. It is not worth the drive from San Diego.

Report this Review Another great San Marcos course.
Pros: This course was in the works for a loong time. Lots of hard work made it possible and the wait was worth it. This designer knows how to use the land he's given. Great job Dad!
Cons: A few long walks. Kinda sucks that a few holes aren't there. But they will be soon.
Other Thoughts: But seriously, unbiased, this course makes use of the land that is available very well. It may not be the most challenging and exciting course ever, but it is fun and makes great use of all the campus.

Pros: Nice scenery. Long overall distance of course. Super Duper fun holes with tons of different obstacles!
Cons: You can only play weekends unless you have really good insurance and a bodyguard. There is no free parking anywhere; but there is no parking enforcement on weekend :] Impossible to find all holes the first time you play unless you have a map.
Other Thoughts: If the campus was empty 7 days a week this would be a 5 star course!... for those of us who have crappy discs that don't go over 200' :]

checked it out
Pros: close to freeway. free. variety of distances and elevation changes. 9-16 are the heart and soul of the course..short with obstacles. but dont try to play during school hours. weekends or late nights only
Cons: at busy college campus. pay to park. i walked from the starbucks down the street (ten minutes away ) only holes 1-6 and 9, 17 and 18 and disc golf exclusive. all the others need to be played with caution. so weekends and holidays
Other Thoughts: hole 1- i liked that the basket was on a sloped hill
hole 7- i like how the basket was in between those trees. i ended on the edge of the hill so i had a blind second shot. it was interesting. also if you see a cement water channel on the hill to the left of the tee. be careful not to land your disc at the edge of the hill because there is a grate that the disc can fall through and it doesnt look like you can get your disc if it falls through.
the walk from 8 to 9 is long
hole 9- nice and disc golf exclusive-tree in way
hole10- nice uphill shot(weekends only)
hole11- short but trees in the way. nice
hole 13- nice short uphill (weekends or spotter)
hole 15- short but lots of elevation and obstacles. metal bar. stairs and such
hole 16- short but plenty of trees in the way
hole 17 and 18 are really far from 16 and are located in rattlesnake country. not worth it
(it probably makes more sense to park by the blockbuster and walk to hole 9 to start with...and finish at 8. then walk back to your car..that ways its free

Pros: -Very unique course.
-Lots of fun holes mixed within the campus. I wish I had gone to school here.
-Short holes with lots of interesting elevation changes and Baskets were in interesting locations. We will be playing our regular games here very frequently.
-I used to frequent Montiel, this is much more interesting.
-Excelent signage at Tees

Cons: -Unfortunately Holes 4-6 are closed during field construction.
-Holes 17 and 18 were far away from 16 (on the other side of the parking structure). Course map I printed cut off those holes and I didn't find them easily. Map is essential for first timers.
-Not very challenging, but fun to play through the heart of campus.
-Can be lots of people in between classes.
-rubber tee pads are a bit small, but most of the holes utilized sidewalks as tee pads.

Other Thoughts: -$5 to park on campus. We parked just across the street from Hole 1 (all side streets off Barham have some good parking).
-Would rank this higher if it was more challenging and longer.
-Another bonus was the excellent "Vistas". We will definately return for the eye candy in the heat of the summer

Beware of Pedestrians

This review was updated on 7/15/2011
Pros: One of the only 18 hole courses around, and a great addition to the very few other courses in San Diego County. The first thing I noticed was the brand new custom Innova baskets with the top band being blue and white (school colors), instead of the normal yellow. These are some of the nicest baskets i've seen. Good color signs provide map of each hole and distance to basket. The designer made creative use of the available space and elevation. I fully agree with the course description that the scenery is excellent. Tees are either rubber or sidewalk. Several "island greens" due to basket placement on grassy areas surrounded by sidewalk. Most of the back nine is wheelchair accessible. Nice variety of wide open holes and holes with lots of obstacles. Great for students to use between classes, or as a break from studying.
Cons: Most holes are short, except for # 3 which is over 500 feet. Several holes play through busy parts of the campus where pedestrians are prevalent. The signs are a little too close to the tees, and the rubber tees are a little too small. Some of the walks between holes are longer than the holes themselves. Holes 7 and 8 are unplayable during track meets. Players must pay to park on campus.
Other Thoughts: I wish I had a course on my college campus! I wanted to give this course a better rating, but due to lack of length, and the fact that most of the course is not DG exclusive, a 3 is the best I could do. Worth checking out, but try to avoid the busy times on campus. Print a map, or grab one at Clarke Fieldhouse because navigation is somewhat difficult.
