Perfect Road Stop Course! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 23, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

Paloma Del Sol DGC is located in Temecula California in a residential park. This course plays on the outskirts of Corte Cabrera Park. This course has changed its layout a few times over the years. Now this park plays nowhere near you can lose a disc by throwing over the fence.

I would assume this course gets fairly crowded because of soccer games. Right now it is not very busy due to Covid-19. There was hardly anyone there except for a few people playing basketball as well as a few locals. Paloma Del Sol plays in a park with houses backing straight up to the park. Grip locking your disc is possible but it used to be more common back when the route of the course was different.

Paloma De Sol has Lightning DB-5 baskets which I have never heard of but apparently are not to bad. These baskets for what they are only have 1 layer of chaining which is not ideal for the center pole spit outs.

This is one of the best signage and tee signs I have ever seen on a Disc Golf Course. Every hole there are different sign that shows you a picture with a arrow pointing to where the basket is. To me it looks like a display case showing an aerial view of the hole and a stand still pic from the tee. Signage A++

For nine holes they really maximized space at this park. Most of these holes are fairly challenging although there are some exceptions and short holes.

Pictures are very outdated and they have changed the layout of this course. Hole 4 and 8 are my favorite holes at this course. Hole 4 is a short but fun technical hole that plays around a huge tree. Hole 8 is a crush to the basket. The only problem with this one is that the light pole is right in the way of a nice turn over.

Cons:

Some holes on this course play right next to the sidewalk. Pedestrians are very common at this nice park with all the residential homes around here. Also with the basketball courts right in front of the first tee it is hard to avoid not going over them.

These very uncommonly seen baskets can get some nasty spit outs. Only one layer of changing which is not the greatest considering that most baskets have 2. Hole 1 on the map might be a little confusing to find.
Hole 1 is near the basketball courts at the far end of the park.

Holes 1 and 9 share baskets which is not the best because all of these holes cross with other holes which might be very chaotic sometimes. Lots of holes cross between each other which is not great because I assume on a normal summer day there would be people in the field playing as well as soccer games.

Other Thoughts:

This is a great road stop course and is not to far of the highway. Most of the holes here are pretty good but I would play this course while there are no soccer games or other activities going on because I found that it is best to play here during quarantine.
This disc golf course has gotten much better in the past years. I am pretty sure neighbors complained that they had discs in their yard because they have re routed this course 1 or 2 times.

Personally I like the fact that they have nice tee pads and baskets and they were able to make this course a reality. Interesting location because a residential park with a disc golf course does not really mix.

2cd "beginner course" near Temecula/Murrieta 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Apr 30, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-The course of well kept. Gardening is done once or twice a week. Update : 12/16 a gardener returned one of my discs.

The layout has been updated. I will try to amend the map online, and quickly post the 10 hole layout all the locals have been playing lately. Very, fun and challening.

1st hole starts out in the same place. It is a challenge to try to throw on path, in the middle of the lights, for a perfect flight path. Sometimes discs will fade hard left and land right next to a small tree, right near the basketball court. Then you will get a perfect hit and it will run straight in a path and fade a little right in front of the sidewalks.

2-3 they changed.

4th puts you in a challenging position to make anhyzer drives that can curve and eventually balance out in the middle of the grass to create a nice putt scenario.

5th is another anyzher drive. The putts at this hole can be challenging as there are two trees positioned on a hill;the basket lies right above a low-lying tree at the top. This is a hazard though, because people can be riding skateboards or bikes down the paths above the entire area.

6th changes, and brings you up to the top of the left-hand sidewalk. This is a great hole for trying aces. It's essentially and ace hole with how close, but the depth creates the illusion of a throw going to fast. Putts virtually easy. Sorry for bending the top. ;)

7th is the throw from the star by the trashcan. Another anhyzer scenario. Like 5, the putts at this hole have low-lying trees.

8th Starts at the cul-d-sac and drives are mixed. Another low-lying tree spot depending on the lie after you throw your drive.

9th THIS HOLE PISSES ME OFF. I try throwing a Beast 171 gram and a Wraith 170g disc at this basket and I either A. Nick the chains (a couple times) B. Hit the pole at the top and bounce back (a little of times), C. Hit just a tensy tinsy bit over the chans and land virtually next to the basket. I had one today that had the PERFECT arc and it was looking like it was going to do one of those sink DUNKS. OH MAN, I WAS EXCITED. IT HIT THE DEAD TREE that looks like its positioned right in the middle for a reason. CUT THAT TREE DOWN. :mad:

Cons:

-it's spaced inside a park and people like to unleash dogs. (even with a no leash sign)

-the tennis court does not open so be careful of throwing on hole 4. I have lost two discs because of the locked gate. There is no way of getting around it.

-sometimes kids will pick up discs.

-alot of dogs.

Other Thoughts:

There is room for improvement.

-closely monitored course, as in there is a camera pole on hole 4
