Reviewed: Played on:Jun 23, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice people in restaurant. Excellent concrete t-pads.
Indestructible signs. A few nice benches, and good baskets.

Cons:

First 5 holes are in a dirt parking lot with a road going through it. Couldn't even use 4th tee because a car was parked in front of pad. Trash was everywhere. Plastic bottles broken glass and old concrete were over top of land that had been abused for decades. Hole 6 went over a road and a site where people were camping . Finally at hole 7 the course got more interesting and only needed poison oak removal, trash clean-up and trails to make them fun. $10 to play is outrageous!

Other Thoughts:

Maybe, with extensive cleanup, trail construction, and re-designing the parking lot / first 5 holes, this course could be considered worthy of a "4" rating. When I was there it had only been open a week. I will go back in a year or so and and see what changes have been made to improve the course.
