Gorgeous views - great trails. Be aware that sometimes you may see a rattlesnake on the path. To avoid snake bites resist letting dogs run loose in the surrounding chaparral.
Sean Floyd
Pretty challenging course with great views. Be aware on Saturday they have live music on the putting green which means they block off the 9th hole so not a complete round of golf unless you replay another hole.
Jim Barley
Nice little 9 hole course, walkable. Little scruffy in places, but the greens are in pretty good shape.
