About the course

Holes range from 200 feet to over 1000 feet. Rough terrain with seasonal tall grass and poison oak. Spotter recommended on several holes
Bathrooms at parking lot. Drinking water currently not available due to water main break

Highly recommend starting UDisc at the parking lot using the free Wi-Fi available from the park. Very limited cell coverage on the course.

Amazing course, best in the area. True hike with a game attached. Sketchy cell coverage…. Download layout in advance, and don’t rely on cellphone GPS. But tee signs indicate next tee. Key to note, because often unclear which is next.

Physically challenging hole with a lot of elevation. Many beautiful and fun holes. With more maintenance it would be a 5.
