-Newly installed tee pads are sweet
-Multiple tees and pins on every hole
-Some interesting shots that you don't see in a lot of places
-Pro shop
-4 practice baskets
-Requires you to throw a wide variety of shots, which is good. There are mid-rangers, average drivers and bombers. Lefties, righties, ups and...well one down. Good course to build an all around game which explains why they a lot of good players that come from there.
-Has some death putts, and in the wind they definately make you think.

-Usually lots of ppl
-Poor layout, but I think it's the best they could do with the area. They choose the shots over the flow, but with the limited space they have I think it's probably better that way.

I like this course, I just don't like how many ppl play it. Both times I've gone there I've finished 18, thought, "I want to play again" and then looked over the course and seen a lot of ppl and haven't wanted to wait on the tees just to play it again. I also feel like this course gets hated on more than it deserves. Yes the layout kind of sucks, yes there's usually a lot of ppl, but it is a good course to work on your game and offers something different from ELDO and LaMa. If it wasn't so busy I'd play it a lot more.

* Easy Access, easy to find, good parking.
* Great Pro Shop, most courses have none. They even had little pencils for marking the scorecard.
* White board showing Ace records, apparently Hole 1 has the best chance for an ace. I came close.
* Long and short tees with multiple hole locations to keep course from getting boring.
* Excellent course map.
* Decent tee maps on each hole.
* Most holes had good obstacles. Some holes had elevation changes.
* Regular tourneys posted.
* Environment clean, nice location, easy parking, porta pottie next to pro shop had hand sanitizer (nice).
* Actually saw two pretty ladies playing (quite an oddity).
* Good variation for me, I threw both back hand and fore hand. The course is mostly right back hand.

* Hole 1 short tee not marked. No rubber tee pad.
* At least 3 holes had missing rubber tee pads.
* Rubber tee pads slippery when shoes muddy. I like concrete.
* Sometimes hard to figure out which tee went to what hole.
* No holes go near the lake. That would be nice if a hole could be near the lake to swollow up some discs.

This was my first time on the course. I played on a Monday morning. I had a great time. I wish this were my home course. There were some bummy lookin dudes, who seemed well behaved. I would play again if I am near.

*Friendly locals with great taste in music and beverages

*Hilly terrain, offering a third dimension that many of the other local courses lack.

*Mix of open and technical shots...something for everyone

*Mostly mid to long range drives, very RHBH friendly

*Well-shaded with glorious ocean trade winds

*Half the course smells like horse poo on bad days

*Mosquitos

*Rubber t-pads get neglected in the sandy terrain...make sure to borrow a broom from the helpful disc golf shack!

*Since the addition of longer t-pads, the back 9 gets a significant amount of cross shots. This can get to be a real prob when all the weekender yahoos over there

*Course is generally a bit muddy/wet in the mornings, especially in the winter months

*Pay to play. Yes, I'm cheap. Wanna fight about it?

This is my home course and I love it dearly. Since they added the pro tees, it has become one of the more challenging socal courses. A must-play for any golfer touring the area...just shoot for mid-day.

**UPDATE**
Huntington is getting insanely crowded. -.5 discs.

If you've got a big arm, this course will make you wish you could hit windows. If you can hit windows, it'll make you wish you had more D. If it's not elevation changes that mess with your head, it's the wind. Or the OB lines. Or the dang trees!

All in all, this is an excellent course, imo much underrated when it comes to people recommending So Cal courses to visitors. This park of the park itself is well-known as a disc golf course so others who come around (dog-walkers, etc.) know to watch out for flying plastic. Throw in the pro shop and gobs of friendly locals and HB turns into an enjoyable experience all around, even if it does eat your lunch like it did mine.

Crowded on weekends, some fairways tightly adjacent to others (lots of people yelling "fore!" with good reason).

Some of the greens are nothing but hardpan, like DeLa Veaga's, and wickedly fast. Others are groomed grass all the way to the pin - all this means is that you've got to treat each hole individually: there's nothing "ordinary" or "usual" about this course.

Knocked off half a disc for some redundancy on the back 9.

This was a good challenge of a course that really rewarded good throws and punished bad ones. Each hole had its own unique challenge. Most of the tee pads were a very nice rubber that were by far the best rubber tee pads that I have seen so far. They used the land that they were on very well for some good elevation change and good used of bushes and trees to create the challenge. There was also a good deal of length with a good number of 400+ ft holes. There is a pro shop that sells snaks and discs and is also where you pay for your daily pass. I also thought that they had a really nice practice putting area with one basket that had a few marked out distances as part of a practice system. There was not much foot traffic and I did not run into many other players though I was playing at 8am on a weekday. I was impressed with the foot traffic that I did run into as they seemed to know what was going on and yeilded to play on all occasions. The holes that have new signs have amazing signs. There seems to be a good local vibe here and a lot of locals that love their course.

You have to pay to play this course which is actually a big negative to me. The up side is that your pass turns into a raffle ticket for a disc. The local bathroom was a portable potty. The layout is not the most logical and was really confusing for playing the first round here on my own. On several holes I had to walk the hole before playing it. The holes that did not have a new sign had really bad make shift signs. My discs ended up being just covered in a thin layer of dirt at the end of the day, which means I will have to wash them or throw them on wet grass somewhere else. There are just a few holes that feel right on top of each other.

I was pleasently surprised at how much I enjoyed playing this course. There really is a lot of challenge. I was not overly impressed with the maintenance on the course considering that I paid to play. I played my third and final round there today with a guy named John who has been playing there for 30 years, so he said. He mentioned the old layout and how it used the lake and had holes that were less on top of eachother. I really enjoyed the layout just how it was though. I would guess that crowds can get bad here and I began to see signs of it by the time that I left. I would say that this course is well worth playing and I plan to come back if the opportunity presents itself.

- front nine shoot up and down a hill through trees and are really fun
- not a fan of the back nine (see "Cons"), but hole #12 shoots into a thicket of trees and #13 is blind down a little rise
- tees are well marked, course layout is easy to follow
- light to moderate wind most afternoons
- active, friendly local DG community
- pro shop

- back nine shoots back and forth across a flat field, with trees mostly dividing the fairways instead of presenting obstacles
- hole 11 runs alongside a bridle path with stables behind it, the aroma here is ripe especially on a hot summer day
- crossing holes toward the end of the course

- This is one of the oldest disc golf courses in Southern Calfiornia, I knew people who played here in the late 1970's. The front nine are terrific -- favorite holes #1 (off the edge of a hill, blind) and #3 (up a hill to the right under a tree tunnel, blind)
- the back nine shoot back and forth across a big field, dusty and hot in the summer and not very interesting to play. Some folks play the front nine twice and skip the back nine, though holes 12 and 13 are fun
- great location in a beautiful park, plus it's only about a mile up GoldenWest Street from Huntington Beach: go to the beach after your game!
- $1/person to play during the week, $2 on weekends

course has a wide variety of shots, a few holes are based on a cliff and it could mean a few extra strokes. they're always a wind, and plenty of locals to show you around the course. the pro shop is a simple easy access pro shop.

too many smokers for my liking. in the back a few holes have crossing fairways. short and righty dominant. need to be pretty balanced in order to handle the cliff sides. slow play on crowded days.

Great variety of shots, but again a little too many smokers out there for my liking. i guess it's better than drunk players.

-Well maintained
-Decent course design
-Pro Shop
-Friendly Pro Shop staff
-Decent use of given elevation
-Good risk/reward factor for many holes
-OB makes the course more challenging (fun)
-SoCal weather
-Plenty of events to participate in
-Big shots mixed with shorter tech shots

-Very righty biased
-Can get crowded
-Nasty stinky port-o-pottys
-Overall mediocrity of course design

HB can be a fun place to play. It can get pretty crowded, but the flow isn't too bad.

My one issue with HB is that the course is probably the most righty biased course I've ever played. Almost all of the holes are righty hyzers, and many of those are simple righty hyzers with the lefty anhyzer being fairly technical. It's pretty ridiculous. If a lefty and a righty of equal skill were to play the course together, the righty would easily win by 6-8 strokes on average.

It probably sounds like I'm complaining, and that's fine, but I've never felt as left out during a tournament regarding a course as the tourney rounds I've played at HB, except maybe at Mt Solitude, but Mt Solitude is more fair than HB.

All in all, I enjoy playing HB, it's a fun course when it's not too crowded, and anyone visiting the LA area should make the drive and play the course.
