Cons:
-a couple holes are pretty vanilla, especially compared to the middle portion of the course. but hey, what can you do?
-could really use proper tee signs and a course map near the first tee. navigation is not easy without a map
-hole 9's tee has moved from the top of the hill down to the bottom next to the sidewalk
-pedestrian path in play around the first and last holes, pedestrians may be sitting on the grass around holes 1-4 & 11-12

Other Thoughts:
The course at Sycamore Park is actually a lot of fun. It's a fairly quick round at only 12 holes (so long as you know where you're going) but there are some fun downhill tee shots and a lot of reachable birdies if you can drive a controlled 250'. The course makes good use of the land available and does a good job mostly avoiding the pedestrian areas of the park.
There are a bunch of really cool rock formations at the base of the hill at the back of the park. There are a couple downhill tee shots toward these rocks and they are fun shots onto unique greens. Hole 3 has a mando to avoid the road and there are some OBs near the pedestrian paths on holes 4, 11, and 12 and there are island greens on 9 and 10.
Only the first few holes and hole 12 have any trees in play. The elevation and rocks really make up for what is an otherwise short and simple course. It makes the best use of the land available and I think it's easily the best course in the Conejo Valley. I'll definitely play here again when I'm in the area and it's worth checking out if you're somewhat close. Course baggers can easily grab this one, Sequoia Park, Rabbit Flats, and Chaparral Park in a day if you're trying to knock out the whole area.
