An all par-3 course with highs, lows, and memorable holes - for better and worse.

-Elevation: Nice and hilly throughout the course. From sidehills to steep valleys, there are some moderate to severe elevation changes as a major fun factor. Decent views too.

-Amenities: Tees are on the small side, turf. Signs have all info. DISCatchers with two pins per hole. Two practice baskets, course map and rules.

-Variety: Everything from open to extremely technical. Guarded greens, tunnels, early gaps, treelines all in play. Ups and downs and valleys. Though this causes a lack of cohesion, it does give you a decent tour of different types of par-3s.

-Shot Shaping/Gameplay: Variety of distances, shapes, and overall hole types. Some holes are fantastic, touchy par-3s with nice slopes and pretty greens. A couple of bombs including downhill, but some chances to pull out the putter or mid as well. However, get ready to be creative. Obstacles and slopes will force you to try some throws you don't normally bust out on straightforward holes, including plenty of over the top throws on the back half.

For every memorably good hole, there is a memorably bad one.

-Weird Holes: Some downright bad and really weird holes scattered throughout. Take for example (8), which while the shortest on the course threads so impossibly thin and bendy that a perfect shot leaves you a long putt. Or maybe (11), a gentle downhill putter shot with a basket just on the other side of the tallest trees on the hole. Generously put, there are a handful of inexplicable design choices.

-Hazards: Benches and tables in the middle of holes. Park road in play on a few. A walking path cutting through several holes. Basket (18) several feet from the rec center. There are way too many opportunities to hit other park users.

-Rough: Holes (11)-(14) have some very uncomfortable rough - practically surrounding the baskets. A pet peeve of mine to be straddling a thorn bush on a perfectly respectable shot.

-Navigability: The (7)-(9) range is gimmicky, steep, and flooded upon my appearance. (11)-(14) will also prohibit carts. Further, the overall navigation is a little tricky. Some very long transitions between small segments of the park, and the lack of navigation cues is problematic on holes with steep hills where you can't get to the next hole via some cliff-like routes.

To be honest, I didn't like Brengle Terrace very much. The first four kept me engaged and I loved the sixth, but it felt weird and unrewarding after that point. However, trying to be objective, I think this course has a lot to offer in terms of interesting par-3s. You'll throw a nice variety of shots and have some memorable greens. If you can take the bad with the good and love elevation, you'll like it here. Just barely among the Good by my book.

~Similar Courses: Brengle is so segmented that every couple of holes reminded me of a different place. Trying to come up with a couple of good suggestions, though: Breckenridge Circuit (Breckenridge, CO); Veterans Park (Arlington, TX).

Brengle Terrace Park is located in Vista, California and is a very nice 18 hole disc golf course. This course is Moderately wooded with a heavily terrain, hills and valleys. Brengle also has a big playground with baseball fields and tennis courts.

Most of the hills on this course are ginormous which is okay but man quite the walk. I really like the hardware on this course. Discatcher baskets, turf tee pads and tee signs. Hole 10 is a fun hole and is probably my favorite. On this hole you have to hit the perfect gap or other wise you are down the small hill. Hole 13 is also a fun hole which plays downhill into a grassy part. The basket was located behind some bushes when I played.

There is a pro shop next to the baseball fields on hole number 4. I have not checked it out yet though. Hole 8 is a truly authentic hole which plays downhill right into a little valley. This hole is probably gorgeous on a sunset night with no clouds. I could say this course goes up the hill and down and repeats its self a couple of times. The course also has 2 practice baskets witch is great.

The battle at brengle appears here every year. When I played some of the holes were in tournament layout which was a little confusing. It appears that the tee pads are turf which makes it nice in the rain.

Well maintained park with a lot of birthday parties and cookouts. Some of the people have no idea they are in the middle of a disc golf hole because they were having a nice lunch right in the middle of hole number 14.

Hills and hills and hills. The hardware on this course is great but the hills are exhausting. Quite the walk on a number of holes especially holes 11, 12, 1 and 2. All the other holes play downhill or even with the ground. The layout was confusing a little bit though. I just followed the regular layout and did not worry about the tournament layout which was still there. It did throw me off a bit though.

On one of the practice baskets it says that number hole 10 on it. Because the baskets on the actual hole 10 the basket was completely destroyed. I do like that they fixed that though. Some holes like holes 1 and 2 are not anywhere near the parking lot so I just started on hole something or other.

Overall I enjoyed playing here. It did rain the morning that I played and let me tell you it was muddy and very small mudslides. I like all the hardware and things that they did to add to this course. The turf tee pads are nice and grippy. It was nice in the rain because you did not have to worry about sliding off a concrete tee pad.

The layout is okay maybe a little better job on it but some finishing touches and this course could be almost perfect.

-Brengle Terrace Park Disc Golf Course is an 18-hole course spread out through the huge, hilly Brengle Terrace Park. Many points on the course yield great views of the surrounding area. The park also features baseball, tennis, and a huge botanical garden.

-The terrain offers a very wide variety of holes. Besides holes 17 and 18, every hole makes use of the slope. You must bring both a good backhand and forehand to make a decent score here. The first 7 holes play around the botanical garden and are lightly wooded. After that, the course plays in and out of moderate woods and grassy fields. The park is kept in very nice shape.

-Holes ranged from 200 to 500 feet (hole 5, the one par four). The diversity in distance and elevation change requires all types of shots.

-Holes 8, 9, and 10 play downhill and are the best part of the course. Hole 8 plays about 350' and requires a straight drive with a slight fade to the left. Hole 9 is about 275' with a slight drop off behind the basket, and #10 is a 250' hyzer shot through a woods tunnel.

-Innova Discatcher baskets are starting to rust but still catch great. Many baskets are placed in challenging locations on hills. Usually two different baskets are elevated (varies week to week). Two practice baskets are available as well.

-There's a pro shop in the building next to the baseball fields on hole #4, open Thursday through Sunday.

-Several dozen new trees have been planted throughout the course. In time, this should add challenge to some of the more dull holes.

-Eleven holes play uphill and only five play downhill. It is both frustrating and exhausting to throw uphill, walk downhill to the next tee, and throw uphill again. The course was designed to maximize the challenge factor but this compromises the fun factor. Several lackluster holes (#6, #11, #14, and #16) are not followed by fantastic holes but instead by more lackluster holes.

-The terrain is very rough on holes 10 through 16. It's easy to slip and trip on loose dirt, rocks, and roots. Make sure to wear sturdy shoes.

-If it's your first time, make sure to bring a map. It's not always easy to find the next tee, especially on holes 4-5, 7-8, and 14-15.

Tee signs list the hole number and sponsor, but lack the hole distance.

-This is a challenging course. The large crowds of novice players found at Kit Carson Park and Morley Field are not a problem here.

-Brengle Terrace is a beautiful park and the property has potential to be a 4.0-rated course or better. The course layout, however, leaves quite a bit to be desired.

- Free to play
- Pro shop on location
- Bathrooms
- Rubber tee mats
- lots elevation changes
- Decent variety of distances and basket orientations
- Tee signs with numbers
- Clean, well maintained fairways
- Alternate tees on a few holes
- Multiple pin positions

- No map or distances on tee signs
- Not enough directional signs between holes
- Layout hard to follow, especially from 4 to 5, 7 to 8, and from 15 to 16. It looks like the course designers either got lazy or ran out of room on 16-18.
- Baskets 16, 17, 18 are very close to each other and they share the same tee
- Walking trail and playground come into play
- Course fairways overlap on the back side
- Most fairways were too open and had no obstacles

Fun course, but navigation between holes was a pain. After holing out on 4 walk up the hill on the road, you'll see a tee off on the right. 5 also seems to have long tee too. Make sure you either bring a copy of the map or consult the course map on the bulletin board near the start of hole 1 . The course wasn't overly difficult, yet I still justified the use most of the discs from my bag throughout the course. There wasn't a single hole that didn't use some sort of difference in elevation to add an element of difficulty to make up for the otherwise simple course layout. Hopefully putting baskets 16-18 in the same general area for the same tee is temporary thing. Fun course, but the end could use some rethinking.

Brengle Terrace Disc Golf Course is set up around a public park. The course makes very good use of the land and avoids the major pedestrian walkways. I first played here a month ago, and the layout seems to have been improved on from its previous design. The course plays in such a way that very few of the fairways cross one another. Overall great design and layout.

Several of the holes are unique and offer a different challenge. Indeed, the variety of holes is quite impressive: tight, wooded and technical; open fairways with minimal hazards; epic downhills and everything in between. The course does not seem to be heavily favored to any one particular throwing style, and a variety of shots may be needed. Definitely the single most distinguishing factor--and what I found to be most impressive--is the amount of elevation change and the variety of terrain this course offers. Some of the views are also quite spectacular, which I would partially attribute to the maintenance of the course; the trees are well trimmed and the grass is always cut and green.

The tee pads and baskets are in good condition. The tee pads are mostly of the rubberized variety, and I didn't see much deterioration or unevenness. Trash cans are located throughout the course

There is a refrigerated drinking fountain in the indoor sports building to the left of hole 3, which is a huge bonus as it can get quite hot during the summer.

The course is not crowded at all, and generally the disc golfers you run into are friendly and will let faster groups play through.

The tee signs do not contain any information other than the hole number. This can prove to be frustrating at times if there are OB areas, unseen hazards, etc.,

While the overall layout of the course makes sense by going in a clockwise direction around the amphitheater, there are a couple of holes that are difficult to find. This is exacerbated by the fact that there is no information on the tee signs. There are a couple of separate signs posted on fences that give a written description of where the next hole is located, but having this information on a tee sign depicted by a graphic would be more helpful. After playing the course once or twice, this becomes a non issue though.

I do not recall benches on any of the holes, although this is not a huge negative for me as I'm somewhat young and in decent shape. I could see this being a bigger issue for folks that need to frequently sit down.

The number of uphill throws is slightly more than I would prefer. The course is more or less divided equally into 1/3 uphill, 1/3 downhill, and 1/3 level shots.

Brengle is a newer course, and I applaud the designers and the amount of effort that went into constructing it. I believe the course is still unfinished and, with time, could potentially become the premier disc golf course in San Diego County.

This course provides a very PHYSICAL workout--you will constantly be climbing up multiple hills. I personally found this to be a positive as I enjoy doing cardio. Others may be deterred from playing here for the very same reason.

I took a look at the photos of the old layout, and was really interested in 14 and 15. It would be nice if they could bring those back somehow and remove the somewhat mundane 6 and 7 holes.

The course really starts to come into its own beginning with hole 8. Not that the first 7 holes are bad, they're just not as good as some of the latter holes. My personal favorite is 10, which is this neat little secluded wooded tunnel that requires precision control to get in range for a birdie. Other standout holes would be 8, 9, 13, and 15.

During my first play through, I thought hole 5 was going to be located beyond the baseball fields to the left where there is a densely wooded canyon. However, I quickly found out no holes were located here and hole 5 was in the opposite direction. I wish some holes would be placed here. The canyon provides a truly awesome jungle atmosphere, and would offer a unique experience in the disc golf world--utilizing this part of the park would only enhance the course and increase its reputation of offering interesting and varied environments. I understand making this a reality would require a ton of work, as several plants would need to be removed (and may prove to be illegal if it's a protected area). I could also see this as possibly interrupting the flow of the course without modifications. If holes were to be placed here, I see a few possible solutions to keeping the course at 18 holes:

• Remove holes 1 and 4 and start the course at hole 2
• Remove holes 6 and 7 (these were the least memorable holes of the entire course for me)

Brengle Terrace is a very enjoyable course that every serious disc golfer in San Diego should check out. I find myself playing here and at Kit Carson often to avoid the crowds at Morley Field.

Brengle Terrace Park is a large sprawling park which seems to be an ideal terrain on which to build a disc golf course. The overall hilly topography of this park should provide many opportunities for epic and enjoyable downhill throws. Instead I found myself walking down hills so I could throw up the next hill. It should be the other way around. There were 8 and possibly 9 holes which had you throwing uphill. Besides the truly EPIC # 8, the enjoyable # 9 and then #'s 10 and 13, there wern't any other even slight downhill throws. The course lacks really great or IMO memorable holes here.

About the afore-mentioned # 8. This hole belongs on most any list of really great. beautiful disc golf holes. It has the whole package! First the tee pad is especially well built and constructed and is set in a lovely little area w/boulders and branches. Then the view to the basket, maybe 300' down below you is really quite lovely, much like a sculptured golf hole. I'd easily place this hole on my top 18 favorite holes list, that from the almost 600 courses I've played.

The new signs are in. They're lovely carved wooden ones but give no pertinent information. No distance or map. They do have the sponsors name on them. I worry about what they'll look like in a year or two after the local teen population has their way with them. I hope I'm wrong!

Pretty view of the surrounding hills area from # 1 pad.

Course ends right near the parking lot where you started.

I liked the basket placement of # 12 up in the rocks.

# 13 was a great little downhill flick shot. Too bad, I don't have that shot in my aresenol. Part of the reason I'm such a mediorce player.

Long walkout after # 4.
Fairly long walkout after # 16.
Tee signs are pretty but contain no info.
I'm afraid signs will get trashed by vandals.
While I did appreciate helpful navigational aids, I still stumbled about after #2 and #14.
Too many uphill throws.

Note to San Diego Aces: I can see much love and work had gone into this course. Can I suggest one simple, cheap helpful improvement? How about hanging a next tee sign w/an arrow on the bottom of the baskets? Or maybe painting one rung of the basket which points to the next tee? Either would have helped me considerably.

But kudos on # 8. That is really the gem of this course and there are very few holes anywhere in the country which measure up with it, in terms to it's overall disc golf beauty. Great job there!

The course plays through a large multi-use park, and mostly does a nice job of avoiding conflicts with other park uses. Elevation comes into play on many of the holes, with several tough uphill shots that add to the effective length and difficulty of the course. A couple pin positions have great roll-away potential, adding some challenge to the short game. Despite several fairly open shots off the tee, many of the pin positions are guarded with brush or trees to keep the shot a little more interesting. A handful of holes are tighter and force some different line shaping, offering a little more rough to punish errant shots.

The baskets are brand new, and catch well. The park seemed to be well taken care of, despite earlier reviews to the contrary we didn't find too much trash, obviously a lot of work has gone into building and cleaning this course. The rubber tees are fine, most are level and smooth and they offer plenty of grip.

A couple holes play right over or next to picnic areas, potentially a major safety issue on a popular day. Several tees are right near the previous basket, so watch out for errant shots by groups behind you. There are a couple really long walks, and with no signage it can be a little difficult to follow the course your first time through. It would be nice to have some idea of hole lengths and layouts, and maybe some next tee signs to help with the flow.

The course is pretty short and open overall, I liked the use of the elevation to add some challenge and the wooded sections of the park are nice, but there just isn't enough land to stretch it out or make it a truly challenging layout. It felt like there were a lot of holes that threw uphill, and a lot of downhill walks to the next tee. I enjoy the challenge of throwing uphill, but it's always nice to get the payoff of a fun downhill shot and that doesn't really happen here.

Beginners will find this course challenging but approachable. There are enough obstacles and challenges to push newer players to learn different lines and how discs fly with moderate elevation changes, but not so much rough that it will get frustrating. More experienced players won't find a ton of challenge, but there are a handful of holes that offer the chance for creativity and punish poor execution. I had a good time here, and will definitely be back.

good vareity of holes. used the space they had pretty well. lots of trees blocking shots(yes to me this is a pro) over all pretty fun course. lots of walking up hills(yes a pro to me)

too many people in park, no signs yet, needs some work.couple of the holes WAY too short.
