University of Redlands Course Isn’t Really Maintained! 2+ years

Pros:
As you drive up to the course and spot the yellow Discatchers barely showing over the tall bushy plants, your first thought will be, "Oh, No!" And in this case, your first impression is right on.
The nine Discatchers are spaced out in what technically speaking are two vacant lots. Baskets 1 & 9 are in one lot with the others, #'s 2 through 8 set in the second lot across the street. Lot # 1 is the dumping ground for the neighborhood with piles of grass clippings, leaves, rocks and dirt lying everywhere. It makes for a rather unappetizing disc golf course.
There actually are some small boards sticking up with a number on them. I either couldn't find or chose not to stomp through the tall, wet plants to find all of them. I did manage to locate most of them. They're actually still standing and like the baskets, are in good shape. Apparently, the vandals choose not to journey into this tall growth, either afraid of possible snake attacks or just don't want to get their boots wet!
The tees/holes that I actually located were;
1. Found the basket but couldn't find the board.
2. 150' straight and open.
3. About 220' throwing back to the center of the lot.
4. About 240' throwing to the corner.
5. Too wet.
6. To far,
7. About 225'.
8. Tees off from near the street to basket by # 2.
9. Cross street into dump but couldn't find a board.

Cons:
Not well marked.
No tee pads.
Pitch and putt.
Overgrown bushes. You could lose your disc one foot from the basket. I had a putt bounce out and hunker down in the tall bushes growing up through the cage. I had to complete a full circle disc search twice around the basket before spotting my hot pink putter.

Other Thoughts:
This course obviously doesn't get much play. I can't imagine bringing a sorority girl out to the vacant lots here to play disc golf. She would be sure you are some kind of sadistic Freddy Krueger type. They're the only ones that would be hanging out here in the tall bushes and grass clippings, them and us dedicated bat-shit crazy, course baggers.
My only regret here is that I don't have a great catchy review title like Discette. Her's is a classic and so very appropriate for this course.
