This course is so beautiful. Yes there are elevation changes but isn't that what you want? Who wants a boring flat course? Lots of poison oak so wear long pants. It's also now FREE. No more parking fees.

Who could ever think differently than A+.
Yes at times the grass can be tall at times, but it’s the beauty and course itself that keeps us coming back. Try a day at mowing it and you’ll surely understand.

I love this course, only gets a B due to older baskets causing horrible spits, and the poison oak.

I give the original 18 hole layout an A+. This course is the course that I grew up playing disc golf at and it’s a Champion style course due to its length & elevation changes & cross elevation shots. It requires skill, determination & a never give up attitude to shoot under par. I have had the pleasure of helping bring this course to concrete tees & I surveyed the course w/ my buddy Dave H. I was able to give the distance to the holes as well as the elevation change to give the golfer a li ...

Great Course, Very Challenging Course, Lots of Different types of shots needed for this demanding Course

A difficult (pay $6 to play) course that will test your stamina, distance and accuracy. Worth it in my opinion. Majority of holes are long and with "open" fairways, although trees and/or elevation change are major factors on most holes. The course has breathtaking views in the Winter and Spring when things are green. Lots of animals out on the course making for fun picture opportunities. The grass can get long making it tough to find your disc, so throw something bright. All types of shots are ...

Nice course with great views and a couple of epic holes but in horrible shape. Completely overgrown and the signage is terrible. Could be s great course but needs a lot of TLC.

What a spectacular course. The views are incredible. Very hilly course, built on the side of a mountain. A mixture of short and mostly long holes. Hole 1 starts straight up a steep hill. The first 6 holes are on the top side of the course and provide beautiful vistas. The course is mostly open but they use the trees and shrubs strategically well. I didn't like the half a mile walk to the course from the parking lot.

Challenging course with elevation and left to right and right to left shots. Some blind shots with tall grass so be careful. Shot with some locals who said fairways usually get mowed before tournaments and that's it, so grass is tall and thick. Decently windy, plays around a lake, has some legit par 4s and a par 5 playing over 1000' Good to shoot with group, bring water as it is pretty open with some guarded baskets or tees. Follow trail through parking lot and when you see an old basket turn left, go over stream, and tee 1 is up some stairs visible from trail.

Well maintained course with a great design.
I love the push brooms at almost every tee.
Costs $10 to park on weekends. And they're dog nazis.

After all the hype about how great this course was supposed to be, my brother and I were disappointed. I have to admit that the course is beautiful and we saw a lot of wildlife, (rabbits, lizards, geese, etc.), but the course is exceedingly difficult - mostly because the grass there is way too long. It seemed like we were spending half our time looking for our discs and, most of the time, that was on the fairways. The signage was, also, not as good as I was expecting. Hole 1 showed no distan ...

You MUST play here if you like disc golf. This course is great. It is long, difficult, and in a beautiful location. Traversing a hillside above a lake and parallel to a golf course, it offers some of the best views in the area, with view homes or other man-made distractions. This was my go-to course in California. I saw deer, pig, Turkey, and geese/ducks here. Playing in the winter or summer can be wet, muddy and cold, or really hot and dry, with ticks, but it is worth it. I enjoy playing mo ...

beautiful course. Lots of elevation change and challenging holes. 10 minute hike before and after your round from/to the parking lot. First hole is about a 75 foot elevation change to start your round... Make sure you have a spotter, some of the pins are blind. Lots of trees and brush, poison oak abounds. Grass can get long at times, in some spots.

Great course, unreal views. Would have needed more variety for A+ rating.

Wonderful course, long and rambling. Fairly easy to find your way and the hills make for a good workout. The views are really sublime across the lake and toward the hills. Not for beginners.

Nicely maintained course with great concrete teeboxes. The map is difficult to follow as there are a lot of elevation changes and long distances to cover. Hole 9 is long, but straight and mostly clear, its not too bad.

The course has some amazing views and some really cool shots. I'd imagine it's much more beautiful when the grass is still green though!

Very long course and very challenging, not in technique, but in pure stamina. You spend the first 6 holes walking practically straight uphill and throwing drives up the side of a mountain is kind of a confidence killer. Fortunately you get it all back on #6 with a huge elevated tee box that lets your disc glide FOREVER! I think it took at least 10 min. before my disc came to a rest (exageration of course but you get my point). Hole 9 is over 1000' long and is a killer par 4. They should spl ...

On a beautiful piece of land, and well designed. Never repetitive. Challenging, fair, and fun. Potential for super long roll aways that might bother some, but I think only adds to the excitement. Obviously well maintained. Pay to play and worth every penny. Don't miss on an opportunity to play this course.

Very well labeled course. Multiple tee pads so it is beginner and itermediate friendly. Pins have A-D positions so its a lil different all the time and wont get boring. Plenty of blind shots and great elevation changes from tee to pin. Cement Tee-pads and the local club does an outstanding job keeping up the course! Down side $10 to play on the weekend and $8 for the weekday you can get a year pass for $75. way way to expensive. The course is on the side of a mountain so if your disc catches a ...
