Nice park in the middle of a residential area of Las Vegas. The only other activities in this medium sized park are walking paths, picnic shelters, playgrounds and a small community center, so there should not be a lot of interaction with other park users. You do need to be aware of how close you are throwing to the walking path, please be careful of the other park users.
The baskets are in good shape, not the newest, but they catch fine. There is a little elevation in this park, so a couple of hidden baskets do have poles and flags mounted.
The tee signs are good, hole layout, distances, next tee location, but their installation is the best. All the tee signs are mounted on 4 foot high, concrete posts. These are very easy to spot at each tee and I don't think they are going to have to worry about the mowers taking any out!
Concrete tee pads at every hole (just one per hole) that are good sized and level. It looks like several have been redone recently.
The Front 9 (actually 8) are pretty much open holes with young trees requiring some shot shaping. Once these grow, especially the gauntlet on Hole #1, these holes will toughen up quite a bit. The Back 10 are shorter, have some larger trees and are generally more technical.
Good restrooms and shelters right at the First tee, also convenient to #9 tee.

While the Front 8 are mostly open, the trees there do have opportunites for Mandos, creating more difficult holes and keeping throws away from the walking path. I did notice what looked like Caution tape around a couple of trees, if these were indicating Mandos, they need to be labeled as such.
After finishing #17, the route to #18 tee is a little confusing. I ended up walking right up #9 (as a group were ready to tee, nice job Newb!!) and then walked down 18 fairway to get to the tee. Some Next Tee signs around the back of the RR building would be handy.

I've been interested in playing Mountain Crest since our first visit to Vegas 7 years ago. At that time, this and Sunset Park were the only 18, or more, hole courses in the area. The course map makes it look like the course is squeezed into a small park with lots of dog walkers, so I was curious how well that interaction worked. After playing here, the course layout is a good reason it is still here. In most cases, the tees were put near the walking path, with the baskets set further away from the path and often playing away from the path. Mountain Crest serves as a good model of how these interactions can be minimized with good design.
The elevation on the Front 8 (plus #10) are due to a ridgeline, running west to east across the northern section of the park. #1 starts out up a gauntlet of trees, then over the ridge to a hidden basket. #7, #8 and #10 also use this ridge, up, then down to their hidden baskets. Nice to see this elevation used this way.
Then on the backside of the course, a smaller ridge running north to south, between the walking path and the neighboring street, has the fairways for #12, #13 and the start of #14. #14 tees from this "elevation" down to the basket in a swale of great grass.
Speaking of good grass, nearly every hole plays on grass, kept green by irrigation. In playing courses in desert environments, there is often the urge to plant a basket in the bordering rocks and sand, most likely to lengthen the hole. I believe there are only three holes here that use the "natural" terrain as part of the fairway or green. Another great design element, remind you where you are, but don't overdo it.
After finding the 18th tee ( ), its actually a pretty good finishing hole. Not long at 257', it features some tall brush on the left, right after the tee, then the right side is bordered by a straight row of shade trees and the parking lot and sidewalk beyond those. I can see this side being lined with spectators as tournaments come down the stretch. The hole is mostly straight with a turn to the left after clearing the brush on the left. I really wanted to finish my round strong with a good drive and run at birdie in front of the other players milling around. Didn't work out that well, but still had a long run at the birdie.
There were a few players in the lot when I got there just before sunrise, luckily I was first off and noticed the next players starting when I was on #5. By the time I made the turn, there were several more starting or warming up (a cold morning in the desert), then when I finished, it looked like there were players on most of the Front side holes and others waiting to start. It didn't look like an event going on, just a popular course to play. I noticed a vehicle logoed up for the LVC in the lot, so this appears to be one of the more popular courses in Vegas. Especially if you don't feel like paying to play at the NLV Discgolfpark or Wildhorse.
With little to no chance of losing a disc, great grass to throw on and a nice variety of holes, I can see why Mountain Crest is so popular. I hope it is around for a long time.

This is a course that I played once before many years ago when I first got into disc golf. It's been long enough that I didn't really remember all the holes but I did remember that I had a good time when I played it before. So I thought it was time to come back out and give it a second run now that I've been playing for a few years.

When I arrived I quickly remembered how easy parking was for this course because you park right outside of the Tee Box for whole one. The layout is really easy to navigate, but obviously it's a lot easier when you have someone to play with. Thankfully I met up with a local at hole one and we ended up playing the whole round together... which worked out great. Some of the baskets are hidden over hills or behind some shrubs, so it was nice to have someone to tell me where to aim when at the threw off the tee boxes.

Many of the holes are open, but there are a few trees to contend with in strategic spots. All the tee boxes are concrete which is nice, and the baskets are all in really great shape. The course winds its way through a park with pedestrians walking around barbecue pits. It really was a very pretty Park. All the grass was well-maintained and cut, all the OB area is clearly defined by rocks or paths.

A few stand out holes for me where hole 3, which backs up right to the main entrance of the park with the street right behind the basket, hole 10 I believe, which has this basket protected by a bunch of OB in the front and on the side, and hole 18 which forces you to play right back up to the parking area where there's usually a nice crowd of people watching you play in.

So a few highlights:
- Concrete pads
- Nice baskets
- Restrooms on site
- Variety of holes
- Clean, friendly park

The first real con that comes to mind is only one tee box per hole. Most holes are about 300 to 350, but it would have been nice for a noodle arm like me to have some shorter throws here in there. Should be pointed out however that this is a pure nice to have as the layout did seem to flow really well.

Also some of the baskets are kind of confusing because the fairways of running back and forth from each other. We had a few people on another hole end up throwing their drives under our whole and it was confusing because they started picking up the wrong discs.

All in all this is a really great Park and it reminds me a lot of the courses in California. If it had a pro shop on site and multiple tee pads per hole this would be easily a 4.5 course. I really enjoyed the round and I'll definitely be back to play again.

Very good tee sighs on almost all of the holes. The arial shots of the holes are very helpful when you can't see the baskets from the tee and help show where the OB areas are. Anything that is not grass is OB here and with the walking paths on almost every hole and the rock river running threw part of the back 9 you really have to watch your shots or you can rack up OB strokes fast. The wind plays a big factor into this course and makes you thing about shots and trying to putt here is a real challenge. There is also some really small and tight greens with the OB as well. Don't let the shortness of this course fool you. With the wind playing all through the course (10 to 15MPH+ when I played here) it makes you have to really throw hard. the grass is cut short and even and the tee pads are all fairly grippy. While it is an open field course there are trees throughout that make you pick lanes and have to flex shots between trees and the wind.

A few of the tee sighs need to be reprinted as they have been partly torn up/off. A couple of the tee pads felt a bit short and 9's gets soaked when the sprinklers come on and gets really slick. A few of the baskets have partly broken bands on them and the chains are starting to look a little rough (they all catch good thought). The double edge sword to the OB walking paths adding the difficulty to this course is the people walking on them. But when I played at about 8AM they were all nice and worked with us disc golfers on sharing the space. The green on 13 was the only hole I thought was a bit unfair and dangerous to walkers as it was right on top of the walking path and the rock river and is a blind left-hander downhill from the tee. Did't see any dog poop when I played but watch for it as it could be close to a few of the baskets.

Overall I love this course and will be back anytime I'm back in Vegas for work. The biggest 3 things I think this course could use to push it up to a 4 or 4.5 would be a true practice basket (hole 8 or 18's work but would be nice to try to put one in in-between hole 8's basket and 1's tee box). Need a kiosk somewhere by hole 1's tee (could maybe try to put it just to the right of 1's tee box) to help find hole 1 and give some info on the local disc golf area and the course. And move hole 13's basket back a bit or over the right to either give a bit more room on the landing or take out the blindness of it to make it a bit safer for walkers. Favorite hole was hole 11 because of taking the high risk/high reward option of trying to clear the OB or laying up and playing it safe off the tee.

This is a very well maintained park with a great view of Las Vegas. It's a shame they are thinking of pulling the park as it's one of the best ones in Vegas.

The Tees are flat and well marked so it makes navigation without a map really easy. Some of the markers are upside down for some reason, but they are still well done with satellite views so it's not a guessing game as to where the baskets are, which is good since some of them are blind shots.

Hole 1 was awesome, a straight upshot through narrow trees made it a very difficult hole for anyone who can't throw very straight and low for a long distance.

The course makes great use of the terrain and the layout, for the most part, is meant to allow for disc golfers and park goers to all be happy.

There are a plethora of people in this park, so I can see why there is the threat of pulling the course if golfers aren't cautious. We had a group of girls playing soccer on hole 2 so we skipped it, but didn't have any other issues the rest of the round, and given how busy it was it seems that the park goers are pretty mindful of the course.

As mentioned, some of the markers are upside down and a couple are torn. Pretty petty con, I know, so that should give you an indication of why this is a well rated park, there isn't much to complain about at all.

Overall this was a fun park to play. It didn't have the long open shots that you find at Sunset, but it also doesn't have the jagged disk eating rocks of Red Ridge.

The design was very well done in my opinion. The layout flows very well.

I agree with all of the other reviewers when I say to be very courteous on this course. With the blind shots and close pavilions it could be tempting to just throw without having a spotter or not lay it up when people are around, but with the heavy usage it's a bad gamble to take, (Vegas reference, hahaha).

The park was awesome and well kept. This is a course to bring the whole family out to. There is something for everyone. The course had concrete pads and a well maintianed area. There where challenging throws that border the street.

Some signs where missing and a few baskets where Close together which made it difficult to tell apart for your next shot.

It is a simple short course that is placed in a beautiful park sitting. This is a great beginners course. Really enjoyed.

The course is clean, green, and almost impossible to lose a disc on. Great course for beginners.

It can get really crowded on nice days, and weekends especially. Plenty of people don't even realize there is a disc golf course on the park, and are totally oblivious to it. Patience is a must.

Great course overall. Not super challenging, but a good quick course for players looking for some shorter holes and limited obstacles

Simple to navigate-almost all the tees are within 60 feet of the last basket and all baskets are visible from the tee area

You won't lose a disc here.

Easily strollerable

Playground for the kids in the middle where you can play around them and keep an eye on them

Good variation of length on holes

Concrete tees in nice shape

Baskets in great shape

Almost all the holes had signs, all but 2 or so had accurate distances on them

Nice bathrooms and water fountains

If you play sidewalks, streets, parking lots, and desert areas as OB, there are some interesting risk/reward shots where you have to choose to lay up or go for it

Tons of lights. Easy to finish a round after dark.

All the locals I met were nice; didn't notice any pot smoking going on at all

Very fast- I was worried I wouldn't get a round in before dark and I got 1 1/2 rounds in before dark and easily finished by park lights

Pretty hard to take a 5 on any hole. My first round I played I threw 13 pars in a row in some high wind. There just aren't that many obstacles out there. Some scattered trees are the only obstacles, but most are so short you can throw over them. For example, the first hole is designed as a difficult 300+ foot tunnel shot. But anyone in their right mind would just throw a big hyzer around the right side of the tunnel. Most of the trees are 20 feet high or less. So in general it is a "drive and putt" course for anyone who can drive 300-350. If your drive is accurate you get a short putt. If it isn't, you get a long putt then a drop in par. Only one hole will force a 300 foot driving player to throw a significant upshot.

A fair number of walkers in the park. I never had to wait long, but I did have to wait several times during a round

Only one set of tees and one basket placement

Random posted pars-I don't see why par in disc golf doesn't mean the same as in ball golf. I'm no pro and I shot 12 under the posted par my first time to the park. Give me a break. If you can make par without any single throw being longer than 100 feet the par is wrong.

No water

This course offers a lot in the way of challenge, elevation and risk/reward. There a few holes that are longish but the shorter ones are offset by OB-surrounded baskets, and blind shots over hills and around trees. If you play with strict OB rules, this can be a very challenging course.

The landscaping is beautiful, and the grass is fantastic. It's beneficial to have somebody with you that knows the course, but the signs are sufficient if you don't.

I regularly play Sunset and Red Ridge, and can tell you that I prefer this course of the three. The only thing that would keep me from playing it more is the long drive from my house.

As stated previously, a few of the holes drive along the road-side, but they're shorter holes, and can be reached using a putter from the tee, so it really isn't that big of an issue.

There were a lot of people in the park when we played, and the guy that I played with said that it wasn't as bad as it usually is, and they generally have to skip a few holes because there are people in the way. I would suggest getting on the course in the wee hours of the morning to avoid the traffic.

Certainly, this is the most attractive course in town. Although it tends to run a little shortish on distance for many of the holes, there still are some challenges for the seasoned player. It's a really nice park with picnic areas, playgrounds, water fountains, bathrooms, etc.

This course would be better if they had just a little more room. It feels like they could have made a great fifteen hole course, but had to figure out a way to cram in three more holes. A couple of holes are a bit confusing as to where to go for your next drive. A few holes run parallel to residential streets, so be prepared to lose a disc on an errant throw that flies over a six foot wall into a yard. The back nine isn't as interesting as the front nine, save for a couple of great holes right after the turn.

Young park with plenty of potential
Nicely kept and clean
Lawn all-around
Some holes nicely framed
Restrooms, picnic tables, water play area, bbq
Elevation used well
Not too much foot traffic due to heat (it is Las Vegas)
All pins are baskets (though some are a little bent)
Concrete pads
Signage (on some)
You can easily find your way around
Friendly people

Some of the signage is missing
When the grass is irrigated some of the tee pads when wet or flooded
The back nine can get redundant
Long drive from the strip (I was on vacation): 20-25 minutes

The park is young so the trees don't play a big factor but when they grow up this course will definitely be more difficult. By the way, if you throw your disc into a park yard consider it gone. There is signage to not jump into back yards because the city could pull the course. If you're in town I recommend Sunset Park first but this little course is definitely not a waste of time.

Good mix of shots. Great tee signs, and well marked. Young trees that will become quite challenging in the years to come.

Last five holes are VERY short to keep people from throwing into a neighborhood.

Great course given the setting. Best and most maintained course in Vegas. Better Part of town than Sunset Park.

Nice, new course. Open & relatively flat so it's an easy walk. Nice long holes mixed with short. Trees and lanscaping come into play.

It's a mult-use park so there are picnics & people running all around the course. It's pretty open so if (when) it's windy it's a little tough.

It's a long drive out here but it's a nice part of town. I highly recommend it!

Well groomed course, nice tee pads, relaxing all around game. Fairly short holes, with little trees, but the trees are very young still. As this course matures, it will become much more challenging. Most of the course is very short, but there are still a few long pins. OB makes shots a bit more challenging and comes in to play on the back quite a bit.

Great for practice, and for recreational play, very comfortable park.

A bit repetitious, especially on the back 9. Some days the traffic makes a number of holes unplayable.
