Short and well...... 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 19, 2012 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

9 baskets
Concrete tees
Very pretty views of Humboldt Bay
Generally not crowded
Wind is normally blowing here making it more of a challenge
Restroom on site at the park
Easy to navigate
Map on billboard by hole 1
Would be a good course for kids or beginners
You literally can walk to the Pacific Ocean in 5 minutes

Cons:

Very short (most are less than 200')
Mostly open (never really forced to throw a certain shot)
Water lining hole 7 and 9 is gross
^^leads to a long mosquito season making hole 9 unbearable at times
Park tends to have people that live in the parking area (broken down RV type stuff)
The one hole that is long is just open across a baseball field (400')
If it hasn't been mowed the grass gets really tall

Other Thoughts:

I play this course sometimes on my way back from fishing at the jetty, and for a quick 9 holes it does the trick. It isn't a tough course, and can get boring in a hurry. The best hole on the course is hole 9, but as mentioned in other reviews the water that lines that hole is gross and breeds mosquitoes. I have seen many discs lost in that water and never seen one retrieved. There are bbq and picnic areas in the park and a playground for kids. The Bay is beautiful and you will see many birds in the area.

I wouldn't go out of my way to play this course with all the other courses around this area, but it does provide another option. People looking to farm aces might have found one to put on their list.

Beginning by the bay 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Dec 13, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Good for beginners
-Nice views of the bay
-Good for a quick game during your lunch
-Map of course by parking lot
-Good putting practice
-Concrete tee pads

Cons:

-Way too short, some holes <100'.
-Only a couple of holes need a driver
-You can overshoot into the bay if you shoot too far on a couple holes.
-No signs except for the map at the start.
-Nasty drainage ditch runs past a few holes, if one of my discs went in, I wasn't going after it.
-Not much variety

Other Thoughts:

This is a good course to bring beginners out to, so they can learn the game on a less intimidating course. There are nice views of the bay on a few holes, as you are playing right on the bay. I've heard that the wind can get really bad out here, though I haven't seen it myself. The "creek" that "runs" through a few of the holes out here is one of the grossest bodies of watter that I have ever seen on a disc golf course. If one of your discs goes in you may not want to get it back.
