Nice course, should be rated higher 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 30, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

-I like to play short courses as they help me with the putt and approach part of my game. This is a little longer so gives me more of a challenge.

-I live in Sacramento and go to the local community college, in which the bus pass is accepted on the area's local transit system. BIG SCORE.

-Nice area to play and have a BBQ at the same time.

-Bathrooms, kid's playground, tennis courts and water fountains. Bathrooms are a big bonus.

-Tee pads are decent size. Tee's 1 & 9 are white rectangles on the pavement.

-Signs give an aerial view, along with best direction to take when shooting at basket.

-Almost all holes are straight or hyzer type shots. Hole's 1 and 6 are shots that should break gently to the right.

Cons:

-Baskets 2 & 6 are close together, so make sure you know which basket you are shooting at. Even if you shoot at wrong basket, it's about 20-30 feet from your target basket.

-Only one 300+ foot hole (9).

Other Thoughts:

I have been playing disc golf for a little less than 6 months. This is a perfect course for a novice like myself that wants a challenge, but doesn't want to be killed by a course set up for pro's.

Keep shots low for most holes will have a tree(s) that will interfere with the flight path of your disc.
On a scale from 1-10 on how challenging the course is, I would say it would be a 8.5 for a person just starting off,

For a person playing 6 months to a year, I would rate it as a 6-7.5.

People with over a year of playing time would probably rate it lower than a 5.

I really don't see why this course isn't rated any higher than it is. Even if I had a year of experience or more, this course should at least rate 3, give or take 0.20.
