Accessible course with some cross traffic; ideal for locals looking to get 9 technical holes in the 200-300 ft range done in less than 30 mins. Can get very slow during times of high traffic due to a number of them sharing fairway space, but clever use of limited space and maximizes the available park

The course is quick and efficient. Technically if your a good enough player you shouldn’t have to be worried about hitting pedestrians because you should know your range. There is a lot of cross fire throughout the course, but if you’re paying attention and not being an airhead you’ll never get hit as I have not. I have literally played the course easily over 100 times, & I have never got hit. Parking sucks late noon and the evening, but in the mornings if your not lazy & get there early you can rip through 9 holes at this course in 30 mins if your not throwing 4 disc’s at every hole. The maintenance of this park is 100 times better than the pictures posted of it, even though it is a shorter course and I know people have got ace’s there. I have only seen in the last 6 months one ace personally there, which was Nick on hole 6, and I’ve been there recently everyday. It seems easy and that’s what makes it a fun course cuz you beat yourself up a little when your not throwing well most likely cuz people aren’t practicing the fundamentals and rudimentary skills that you need to be consistent.

Well there was baskets and tee pads... I've played well over 100 courses and this is by far the worse layout I have ever played. I don't think I should be scared of getting hit on every hole, yet this course offers that extremely well. The layout plays back and forth. Player traffic I'll let pass just because it's a city park but the layout was disappointing to say the least!

The positive has baskets and tee signs..... That's about where my positive list ends. I normally don't complain to often, but this is the most dangerous course I have played. The crossing fairways are almost every hole, and I could see being a safety concern. Any course is better then no course and on a not busy day might be somewhat okay. However I wasn't a fan

Beginner course. Busy with walkers and other golfers. Small park. Great to practice with the putter or midrange. Very short distance for most of the shots and the park is tiny. But it's better than nothing. Great people who play at the course so the best thing about the course is meeting new people to play with. The course is self is whatever you make it. Don't get stuck playing in one spot. This course is one of those places where people only play there and don't get enough experience others places. Walnut Creek needs a better location. They have plenty of space.

Creative use of very little space. Could have been a really good 5 hole course, but nice to have a compromised full 9. Crossing fairways require heads up walking...and maybe a helmet when busy. Mai ... show more ›

Creative use of very little space. Could have been a really good 5 hole course, but nice to have a compromised full 9. Crossing fairways require heads up walking...and maybe a helmet when busy. Maintained tee areas, well signed, and solid baskets. Ground squirrels own the place, pay attention to feet for a million unmarked ankle busting holes.

For what this course is, it is a nice course with good equipment, signage and good use of the space that they had to work with. The terrain is dead flat, but there are trees and shrubs throughout which are well used in the design. The length and location make it very family friendly and good for beginners, but for the more experienced player it offers a good "pitch and putt" experience with a couple of 300-footers tossed in. I played the 9 holes 4 times in about 2 hours so its great whether you have a couple of hours to kill or just want to get a quick 9 holes in.

I know nothing of the history, but it appears the folks that put it in took a very small space (2-3 acres??) of under utilized space in a small community park and in it, they put a 9 hole course with 7 holes ranging from ~225 - 275 and 2 that are at about 300. Working with what they had available they took advantage of the trees, shrubs and a couple of mandos to make a short but moderately technical course in a densely populated community. The course backs up to a major recreation trail so you can safely walk or bike in additional to driving to the park. It would be nice to see more courses like this in small community parks!

When I rate a course I attempt to look at what the purpose of the course is and put a grade based on that, instead of a top end absolute. The only reason that this course didn't rate higher for me was 1 main factor: there are a couple of crossing fairways. Unfortunately, this seems to be necessary given the space, but even with only 3 groups out there playing, there were times of waiting and so comfortably I think the course could only flow with 4 to 5 groups, which is too bad given its ease of access.

Good course to learn at. Holes seem pretty short. Trees get in the way of a lot of shots - which is a challenge. Must curve and slice the discs to have success. No poison oak. Playground nearby for bored kids. Odds on losing some of your discs - small.
Signage and tee boxes are very good at this course.
I've been playing this course since 2014 and first gave it a C+ rating then, but moved it up to a B- last year when I realized how good their signage, tee pads and local disc golf club is. I moved it up to a B today because they put in regulation size tee pads last month.
This place is thriving. It has weekly tournaments, (handicapped), every Wed. at 5:30. Check it out!
