Hazards
No poison oak!
Loose dogs abound.
Map
The map is new, done to ISSOM standard, scale of 1:5000 and contour intervals of 2.5 meters.
There are many gas wells mapped, usually as a blue "X", but they have a variety of appearances: round pipes, square pipes, a plastic vertical cylinder 1 meter in diameter, a plastic block 1 meter long, or a plate flush with the ground.
What to Wear
Footwear: I would recommend leaving your steel cleats at home. There is nothing so steep that I thought that cleats would be nice, and there is pavement and piles of old concrete on which steel cleats might slip.
Leg wear: There is no stickery or thorny stuff. There is tall (up to two meters) undergrowth on the Brown and Green courses, and a minor amount on Orange and Sprint courses.
Rain gear: There is currently a small chance of rain, so be prepared.
