Other Thoughts:
This course is located on the small open hillside of a putt golf course. Colina Park has a boys and girls club meets golf course vibe going on. It's either part of or closely associated with Civic San Diego, a nonprofit public benefit corporation owned by the City of San Diego. It involves public improvement and public-private partnership projects of the city.
The course itself is very well maintained and had a selection of disc golf related items to buy or rent in the proshop. On the course disc golfers share all 18 tees and fairways with the golfers. You can pay a dollar for a shot at the Ace pot on hole 18 before the round. Half the pot goes to charity, no practice drives, chubby aces don't count.......unless you have payed for multiple runs at the basket. A group ahead of me hit a chubby ace, but didn't pay for it and snuck off with 50$. That sort of behavior was very un-dude of them.
As for the course play, nothing about the course was overly exciting. Fairways were a combo of mild up or downhill throughout the park, but lacked definition. They were too open, overlapped a bit, and for the most part too short. There's a whole lot of fairway sharing going on here, which could lead to some really long waits with this type of layout when the course becomes even remotely crowded. Prices were either 7 $ for one round or 10 $ for all day. Discounted punch cards are available to purchase for frequency flyers too. I found the prices a little presumptuous considering the product being sold. If I'm going to pay to play a bad course that's short, I'd much rather go to Olive Grove. This is the least likely course I'd replay of the 5 in the immediate San Diego area.
