Each hole has a different character 2+ years drive by

Other Thoughts:

Livermore is an always-fun 9-pin course making good use of a small acreage, each pin with an alternate tee, for an 18-hole game. Study the course map at hole 1. Pin placement is occasionally switched for some holes. The first four wrap around baseball diamonds, and their alt tees especially flirt with OB into the diamonds. In the spring the hole 4/5 and hole 8/9 fields get tall grass, so mark your tee shot landing.
Standard hole 1 has a gateway of bushes that might catch your tee shot, and rough ground at the pin. Standard hole 2 is short but technical with many thin tree obstacles, and alternate hole 2 is the most dreaded tee shot, hanging over center-field OB. Hole 3 is the most birdie-able at least for the standard tee. Hole 4 is probably the most bogied among the standard tees, especially if you get into the long line of trees that hide the basket. Hole 6 often has odd breeze action across the gully and for the alt tee it's easy to go OB left. Hole 7 is the only uphill shot; beware of drifting right over the OB fence; the best path down from the green is to the left. Hole 8 has a big creek OB risk. The creek is fed, so sometimes raging, other times dry; we play no OB when no water. Hole 9 standard is the longest at ~390 ft, and is the only hole where the alt tee is easier.
Follow standard DG diplomacy: wait for non-golfers on the bike path, don't climb fences for OB disks (go around), and don't damage the plants.

Good course to fine tune your game 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 7, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-This course has a good variety of shot types.
-Some technical holes that require extreme accuracy to avoid the trees.
-It doesn't take a long time to play a round
-always people on the course, but not slow
-Average to above average course when it comes to looks
-Multiple basket placements
-Very easy to navigate

Cons:

-No shade on half the course
-A little on the shorter side
-Some opportunities to throw a disc on to private property
-The last hole finishes a good distance away from where you start

Other Thoughts:

While this isn't the nicest course you will play or the longest. It has quite the variety of hole types. From long open holes, to short heavily wooded holes. It is great for all skill sets of players. It is great for a quick round or two. It isn't a hard walk in terms of terrain. the walk to hole 8 from 7 has a steep downhill walk, but you can go around if you would like. All in all, its an above average 9 hole course.

Overall, a good course. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 6, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-There is a good variation of short/long holes.
-For the most part, each hole has multiple lines to take (although these favor RHBH thowers).
-Good course layout, not much overlap.
-Well placed tees make obstacles challenging, but not frustrating.

Cons:

-Pretty much all holes favor RHBH throwers
-Hole 1 and 9 are on opposite ends
-Walking path runs next to the last 5 holes, so you have to be cautious with your throws
-No course upkeep. Grass is left to grow all winter, making it hard to find discs (Hole 4&5 especially).

Other Thoughts:

-Hole 8 is next right next to creek, so you have to be careful when there's been rain.
-Look out for white tufts protruding from the ground. These are the alternate tee markers, if you want to make it "18" holes.

I enjoyed it 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 21, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

I liked it a lot. Relatively easy to follow. Pretty well marked (the last two holes - 8 & 9 - are unmarked). Fun, desert-y terrain. There was a softball game going on at the time I played, but that doesn't affect the disc golf course

Great course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 12, 2015 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Hole distances. Good baskets. Nice elevation changes. Gently wooded. A river that runs along a few holes. Pro tees on a few holes. (They are hard to find. Holes 2 and 8 have them maybe more). Not many people play it. Course is in good condition.

Cons:

Most of the tees are too small but still usable. Hole one is difficult to locate. Hole 9's basket is kind of far from hole 1's tee. It's probably too wide open. (Not enough trees).

Other Thoughts:

Good course. Not a lot of variety in shots needed. (Not really a con though). There are a few birdie opportunities. Good for beginners.

-Well maintained
-Excellent parking
-Sensible layout with good flow

Cons:

-Blackberry bushes
-Baseball field makes for an annoying OB when you have to go around the fence.

Other Thoughts:

A great course for a newer player, and a very serviceable course for the veteran.

Livermore DGC 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 14, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Great use of current surroundings and Terrain
Good location for Tri-Valley

Cons:

Tee Boxes could be better
A few holes may require some fence climbing (although your not supposed to)

Other Thoughts:

We have been waiting a while for a permanent disc golf course in Livermore and we finally have one. It's is nice to be able to get a quick round in after work or just be able to play at a moments notice. This course definitely uses the trees and surroundings to maximize the opportunity to utilize multiple shot types. Hole 8 is my favorite with an elevated tee box to a blind basket. Just don't go left the creek jets out further right than it looks. The tee boxes could be marked a little better as there are multiple tees for numerous holes and figuring which one is the right one for the current hole can be difficult.
