A couple open holes, a couple wooded holes, and a couple technical holes. Its a great 9 hole course.

Water hazard that loses every disc. Could be an 18 hole course if it was redesigned.

I think that the course is geared toward people that want to better their skills with accuracy, and distance driving.

Big parking lot with a sign pointing you over the bridge to the disc golf course. Amazing tee signs maybe even the best I've ever seen on a disc golf course. Very descriptive with a great look. Bricks have next tee sign directions on the ground by basket. Hole 1s pin location in the barrel is awesome and iconic spot. Multiple pin locations and some our elevated and very cool. The real short holes still have a difficult line giving them some challenge and not guarantee birdies. Spinners marking pin placement most you can see from tee pad anyways. Mix of open holes for first 4 holes then tight wooded lines for next 3 then back to open somewhat. Tight lines help sharpen your mid range game. Good use of mini elevation.

Layout can be a little tricky after one go right of pin and follow path. 4 and 5 play in the same direction right by each other play 4 then walk back to 5s pad. Some drunk people were sleeping around one of the teepads, hopefully just was a that day thing and not often. Can get muddy on holes 2 and 3 and there fairways play close together.

Overall a fun course and a course you can bring new players to and still have fun yourself

-New baskets, concrete tees
-Varied terrain, some interesting features come into play
-Little chance of losing disc
-Fairly short and technical - favors accuracy vs. distance
-Easy to navigate course
-Easy to find/park
-Great course for beginners

-Few opportunnities to pull out the driver
-Holes 3-7 are in dense tree grove which has extreme little margin for error - it's a bit like disc pin ball
-No signs yet - there's a map near 1st tee so just snap a photo of that and you'll figure it out.
-Pedestrain path through middle of course could potentially be an issue on a nice weekend day (despite good signage warning walkers they are entering a disc course)

I got out on a weekday afternoon to check this new course out so it was empty and I was able to play nine in about 30 minutes. It's still a work in progress as tee boxes are under construction and about to be poured. There's potential here for sure. The course has three sections of land with two being open park settings and one being a redwood forest. While I'm sure the designers had to negotiate with the parks department on the layout, it would be great if they could find a way to get a few holes out of the forest and at least partially into the open areas so you're not dealing with blind luck shots through mutiple tree trunks on over half of the holes. In the course-starved east bay area, we'll take whatever we can get and it's great to see locals mobilizing to get some nines set up so hopefully this is the beginning of more to come here at Hillcrest or elsewhere in the region where's there's more room.
