Bring That Beginner Here Before The Basket Hater Completes His Work! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 25, 2014 Played the course:once

Pros:

Mills Park, along with Private Anderson Park, less than 2 miles away, make for a great little 18 holes of easy beginner disc golfing. Mills is even shorter and easier. The distances here range from 86' to 240'. One sign reads 56' but I believe that hole is a booming 156'. But these are fun little ACE runs as there is some fun elevation is contend with and you're throwing in a pretty little, green park.
The park is actually decent sized in a fairly nice neighborhood. It has a rec center, play area and picnic areas, rolling terrain and plenty of mature trees to shade all this.
The course features nice large concrete tees. The signs are old school fiberglass ones. Most of the signs are in decent shape. One or two have been tagged. It's the baskets here that have somehow survived the apocalypse. Someone has worked really hard to destroy these baskets. Almost every one has a serious lean going. These baskets are survivors!

Cons:

Very short distances!
Some tagging.
Every basket has a serious tilt going. Adjust your putter accordingly. Or tilt your head!

Other Thoughts:

One of the great little ACE run courses around. When combined with Private Anderson, bring a putter and a mid and enjoy these two little 9's. Super little course to bring a newbie or the kids.

All these baskets have not been bent over by children climbing on them! There are not that many overweight children in the whole of Los Angeles. I tell you, these baskets have been targeted by Someone or Something, much more sinister, more evil and foreboding than chubby, Happy Meal gobbling LA schoolkids. I'd be very cautious about playing this course after hours.

Ace Run!!! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 12, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Concrete tee pads, tee signs, nice quite park that gets little use. It's fun to play, normally I hate short courses, but this one is so short that its an ace run on every hole. One hole is actually 83' long, but then there is one that's 240' or so. With OB's on some holes and slight elevation changes it's a good place to go and try to shoot double digits on 9 holes. There are definately worse short courses out there.

Cons:

Some baskets are kind of jacked up, but since the holes are so short it shouldn't matter.

Other Thoughts:

For what it is, being a dinker course it's fun to play. They didn't have much to work with at this course and they made the best of it. I played it twice with a mako, ryhno, and my putter and shot -9 both times without any aces :( Play here and then go play Private Anderson around the block.
