Pros: A great variety of holes, long and wide open, long with accuracy, tunnel shots and a couple of good roller holes (#11 is 511' with a creek crossing at about 430'and GREAT for right hand rollers). Some par 4s which is a refreshing change for SoCal. This course will teach you how to play in the wind with open spaces and constantly changing wind directions. It's great to have another disc golf course in SD County.
Cons: This course needs teepads! Until it gets either rubber or concrete, BE CAREFUL! Lots of stickers in your socks in the first five holes but they should pretty much get trampled and grass will be nice on those holes someday. Also I can't imagine playing this course on weekends until almost all of the picnickers get chased to other parts of the park (it's a BIG park).Update: I just played on a Saturday and the holes generally stay away from MOST of the picnickers as long as some accuracy is maintained. The good news is CSUSM will be best on weekends and it's right down the road.
Other Thoughts: Not a lot of elevation changes on this course. Escondido cops hang out in the parking lot so leave that stuff in your bag. My friends and I will be playing this course an awful lot in the future because of overcrowding at Morley. For now, at least it's wonderful not to have to wait for two or three groups on just about every hole.

good: nice to have another so cal course in the ground since emerald isle was pulled, shiny new mach IIIs are awesome. nice variety of shots, couple nice rollers.
bad: probably won't stay in ground long as there are TOO MANY walkers on course. somebody is going to get hit and baskets will be pulled. first 5 holes is no problem, but remaining 13 are ridiculous. we waited every hole (saturday at 8am tee time already had over 100 cars in lot) for walkers to clear the fairways. people crossing over the creek to retrieve discs just walk into other fairways and are clueless. didn't see much etiquette out there. tee boxes are horrible, buddy slipped several times, maybe they will get rubber mats soon?
Another great course for North County. Definitely has a great mix of holes to challenge everyone. The low ceilings are quite unfamiliar to the disc golfers around here. Once rubber tee pads are installed, this will be a top notch course.
