Fun, fun, fun. Lots of elevation, nearly every hole. Alternate pads now on every hole, multiple pin placements, beautiful forest, large trees, some wildlife, not too much difficulty finding errant throws. Great baskets. Some par 4's, with certain placements, not crowded

Some-what tiring to walk the course, tho this is both positive and negative. No smoking/alcohol. No garbage bins. I-80 right under the course can be irritating. Hard to criticize this course, barely outta the heart of Truckee, a real gem

Much love and gratitude to the builders, maintainers protectors of our beloved courses and sport!

- good flat rubber tee pads
- good tee signs that offer all the info you need
- multiple baskets placements
- great use of elevation, makes for some real "wow throws"
- good variety of distances
- lots of different technical throws
- beautiful scenery
- very accessible, right off 80

- navigation can be a little frustrating on a few holes
- some of the blind holes make finding your discs difficult, there's a bit of under brush on a few holes as well.

This is a great course, one of the best in the Tahoe area. But with just a little improvement to the navigation, this course could easily be a 4.5.

Sierra College is another excellent example of Tahoe disc golf and the design of Craig Getty. The original design was amazing and provided quite a challenge for every level of player. The new positions make this course even better! Varied terrain, distances, shot selection and natural environment make this one of the best courses in the region. If you are in the area please do yourself a favor and play here. That is if you like a challenge!

There is a parking fee of $3 and the lot is closed on Sundays. However there is close parking at the gate or across the street if is required. Just think of it as a warm up if these things are an issue.

You may find yourself one of the only ones playing so do not expect to join a group if you are unfamiliar with the layout. Signage is complete and trails are pretty easy to follow. Truckee Disc Golf Association is a good resource.

Beautiful wooded course with elevation changes and a variety of hole layouts. Area looks mostly clean, no pets means no dumps and chipmunks stay around. Tees are all maintained and nice. Easy to find and start from near the parking lot.

Free if you're willing to walk from the nearby shopping center parking lot.

The hole maps are quite vague, artistic impressions rather than accurate guides. Lots of unused footings around the area made me think there were alternate hole locations, but no maps showed multiple locations. No direction signs between holes, so I got lost almost every hole (there was no one else there). Lots of the holes were densely surrounded by bushes, i got lots of scratches trying to get to the holes (some lacked any sense of a fairway at all).

I am an athletic beginner and love the sport. I definitely felt beat by this course, I would not recommend it for other beginners, especially alone. Despite the beauty, I was very frustrated by the end trying to find each hole. Going with crowds or guides strongly recommended.

I would think advanced players would love this course. My discs are wrecked from all the dense trees I kept hitting.

~Map from DGCR was great.
~Logs marking trails to next t-pad very helpful.
~Signs with pars and distance.
~Very good rubber pads.
~Very quite. We played mid afternoon and did not see or hear anyone else. WOW!!
~Very easy to find course since it's AT the college. Map from this web site shows you first pad.
~Beautiful views from hole 12.

~No trash cans.
~No benches.
~Road noise on some holes from I80.
None of these are a big deal to me.

If you count the course across the lake, there are almost too many choices for disc golf up here. All of the ones I've played so far are at least 3 1/2's. The locals have to be very spoiled. I'm looking forward to coming up to play this course again.

Good mix of relatively easy holes, if you can avoid the trees, and more challenging holes.
Good signage.
Nice rubber tee pads.
Mach 3 baskets.
Nice view from 12th tee.
Interesting and varied terrain.
There appears to be ongoing work on the course, improving paths and cleaning up tree debris.
Only heard one other group playing.

A little hard to navigate the first time through, but there's good 4G signal and access to the course map at DGCR helped.
Terrain may be difficult for some to manage.
The gates are often locked (I rode a bike in from a nearby campground).
No dogs (can also be a plus).

If you like the Sierras and playing in varied terrain through lots of trees, this is a great course. Trash cans would be nice, but there may not be a maintenance crew, yet. Please, if you pack it in, pack it out.
The conditions were ideal when I played, cool and damp after a bit of rain. This is just one of the many great courses in the Tahoe area. It complements Truckee Regional DGC nicely, play both.

Great course, many very difficult shots, excellent variety of looks. I liked the elevation changes. The signs were great, I could see the baskets from most of the tee pads, and it wasn't very hard to find the ones you couldn't see with a short walk.

There was snow on the ground and it made your disc skip way further than I intended, I found a place to park on the backside by the train tracks and it was a little bit of a walk to hole 15 where we started. In some places there were so many trees, I couldn't find a lane.

My son shot a better round than me on this course when we played, but his backhand style played better than my forehand flick style. Great views from 12 tee pad. I should have had 2 birdies, but missed 20 foot putts. The pads were icy and I slipped as I threw on 2 pads. I want to come back in the summer and try it again.

- some phenomenal shots
- 3 par 4s
- wooded
- elevation changes
- accessible (being at 80 and 89 basically)
- excellent, fair design that made the best use of the available land
- challenging for even top pros, but with some great birdie holes.
- nice balance of right and left turning holes
- some nice views
- an active club that seems psyched to take this course to the next level of maintenance

- a little highway noise since I-80 is very close
- lack of water in play

Wow, what a nice surprise! A par 57-58 course right in truckee! This course will bring the best or worst out of you, often in the same round because of the mix of trees and elevation changes. You have to be on to hit your line. I happened to play it ok the first time, getting 3s on two of the three par 4s. There are epic ace runs here too, and butt clenching windows you have to hit to be competitive. I can only see this course getting rated higher as amenities like signage go into the ground. It should have a nice player base being in Truckee with the accessibility from the bay area, sacramento, auburn, and reno. Get out and play this thing! I happened to like it better than vista and would rate it close to Zephyr (Zephyr has better views, but it doesn't have three par 4s!). Turtle Rock is still the king of Tahoe courses, but Sierra College is far easier to get to for most people!

This course beautifully winds through a hilly and woodsy environ. A lot of challenging shots that requires accuracy. A good mix of finesse shots and power shots. Well designed!

Signage....blah blah blah.... It's not too difficult to figure out.

I would actually give this more like a 3.75. It is a great course, but lacks the epic views that some of the other courses in the area have. Of the Tahoe area courses I have played I would rank this course up there in a tie with Zepher as No. 2. The order would be Turtle Rock, Zephyr/Sierra, and closely behind Tahoe Vista, followed by Bijou, and well behind Truckee. I have not played Squaw so I can not speak on it's behalf.
