Pros:
Living up to it's well earned reputation as a gay hook up location, there were no females in the park today, just lots of dudes sitting around in their cars. I'm lucky that they're not looking for guys my age. But getting beyond that small issue, the new Buena Vista Hill Course is coming along nicely. Some signs are up and they are pretty, colored models, a couple of tee pads have been put into place and the baskets are all there. This course features recreational lengths averaging 219'. But the challenge is with some steep, nasty drop offs (especially on 9 & 10) as well as, some tricky basket placements and the over-all technical nature of the course.
I like a a number of holes. # 1 is hidden behind a large tree with two different routes available. # 3 is a steep little straight, downhill Ace run but there isn't much room to put any hyser on it, you gotta keep it laser straight. And # 12 is interesting with it's hidden basket and danger on the right side.
Short technical courses are not everyone's cup of tea.
Cons:
Not finished, as yet.
No place to air anything out.
The right side rough on # 9 & 10 is really steep and nasty. With a bad throw or maybe just a bad skip off a tree, it could be painful, really painful, like root canal painful!
At little tricky to navigate, at present.
The park is a little trashy in places. Pack out your litter.
I don't ever like holes that play down paths or roads and 9-10-11 all play down paths. Try to avoid hitting any walking......guys.
Other Thoughts:
This is not a bad little supplement to the Elysian Park-Chavez Ravine Course just 1/2 mile away. It will get better when all the signs and pads are in. Hopefully, they won't get sprayed painted like everything else hereabouts and having disc golfers around might discourage other behaviors.
