Beautiful setting in the napa valley with beautiful views and very natural setting. Much wildlife and well maintained park with camping horsebackriding and the like. The course is a challenge for any player as the variety on shots that you need to score well (-3 or -4) for an experienced player. it is advised to use a spotter on many of the holes as you may get a bad roll or skip and there are some spots that will eat some plastic. only $5 to get a day pass and there is a store down the road that sells discs if you loose something you dont have a double. If the family likes the out doors this is a great destination = fun for all. never saw more than 10 people on the course and no waiting ever there is a thursday night weekly 5:00pm $5 with an ace pool. a great group of guys and a good place to go to get an invete to "the arm farm" also in napa.

there are some patches of poison oak here and there but not near ant pathes but a stray disc may be discovered in a patch and in the ckeek bed ith weeds will hide a lost disc ouy could walk right over it and never see it. Rough landings near some of the baskets can be hard on dicscs bot worth it to sacrifice for a great shot. The trees are pretty thick and can hold onto a high driver but there are poles and long pvc tubes under the most popular traps to try to get them down with

the bonus hole between 14 &15 is a nice bonus if you dont get in the brambles. i yhink this is one of the nicest courses i have played in california

This is one of the best courses I've played in California, and also one of the most picturesque. It is situated along the north side of the mountains on the southeastern edge of Napa Valley in Skyline Wilderness Park. It is amazing that a course this nice can be found in what is truly a wilderness area (they say there are mountain lions, bears, etc. on occasion). We saw all sorts of wildlife, I paused several times while teeing off for a herd of deer to cross the fairway.

The landscape is classic rolling California hills and valleys, with varying degrees of chaparral and some larger trees along creeks. Old stone walls from the ranchero days can be found along some sides of the course.

There is a good amount of topography on this course, and the design makes great use of these features. One of my favorite holes played over a valley that sloped steeply to the left...if you throw right-hand backhand and the disc stalls out too early, it'll fade all the way downhill and you'll have a descent/climb to retrieve your disc.

Some holes are grassy fairway lined with small trees and shrubs, some play over wide-open valleys, and some play over shrubs and small trees. There are both right and left turning holes, and quite a few are blind (i.e., no view of the basket from the tee).

The rubber tees are very nice, the foundations flat and stable, and the signage is great. Brooms are ubiquitous for sweeping, which is often needed. If you set a fire, extinguishers are available for you to put it out before it burns the whole place down.

At the entrance gate to the park (where you will pay a park-use fee) you can borrow/rent discs. they also seem to have a last-and-found collection there, but I'm not sure how it works.

The hike to the course isn't long or difficult, but it also isn't very scenic until you get to the course itself. (Really this isn't a con so much for me, I like to loosen my legs with a walk after driving in the car, before playing a round.)

It would be nice if they could put a small bathroom/toilet out there some where for the ladies, maybe next to the incoming trail near #1.

When we were on on the course, we really felt like we were well-secluded from the rest of the world. This is a very nice feeling on such a beautiful course.

There are a lot of opportunities to lose your disc if you are throwing long into blind areas...maybe get your partners to spot on some of the holes.

Nice, challenging course on some killer steep terrain. Good workout. A lot of "all or nothing" shots to make it to the baskets. Brooms and fire extinguishers on every hole.

The hike to get to the first hole is a bit long and concrete tees would make it a little nicer.

Wouldn't suggest this course for beginners. Could lead to a lot more unwanted exercise. Fire danger is extremely high, so please be careful.

ingenious use of steep terrain and a rather smallish area for disc golf. Shots aren't very long, but are plenty challenging. Park makes money off disc golf which helps improve the sport's overall viability.

not too many. Perhaps it's time to get concrete tees?

Every course in steep terrain has challenges with erosion from use. Skyline Park is no different. The local club has done a fine job mitigating this with appropriate infrastructure. Since the risk of fire is also huge, they've place extinguishers on every hole, something that should be standard practice on every course where fire danger is high.

Secluded setting, with rolling hills, mature oaks, local wildlife including deer, turkeys, rabbits. The course area is dedicated to disc golf, and has a real "country club" feel, with benches and chairs on every teebox, as well as brooms and fire extinguishers on almost every hole.

This hilly setting allows for a great variety of uphill and downhill fairways, and of course a number of treacherously fast greens. Shot shaping is at a premium with many side-hill pin positions, forcing the thrower to consider not only the shot trajectory but also the landing angle. Good variety between each of the multiple pin positions featured on each hole, with some of the C positions being truly nasty, such as hole 4, which plays to ~380 ft in length with about a 30ft gain in elevation, the pin tucked back in a small grove of trees.

Tee signage is adequate but could stand to be re-done, as there have been numerous new positions installed since the signs were produced. About a third of the holes basically require a forward spotter due to the blind nature of the fairway and the possibility for a random roll-away.

There's one hole - #15 - that doesn't have a wide enough fairway for regular air shots due to the density of the trees. If you've got a 240ft overhand shot, it's birdieable, but the hole is otherwise unfair.

The time of year plays a big role in determining just how bad the "Napa Roll" can be- if you're playing in the summer or fall, the ground is hard and barren of vegetation, but the spring grasses can sometimes help stop a runaway roller.

Despite all the hard knocks this course gets for what are deemed to be 'random rollaways', the reality is that almost all of those rolls can be minimized if the player executes a shot with the proper landing angle. The exception is having a putt spit through the chains and roll 200 feet away, which is just plain horrible luck.

This is a well thought-out challenging course. All tee pads have clear direction of each pin as well as direction to the next tee pad. All pads have brooms and fire-extinguishers (NO SMOKING ANYWHERE) due to the dry conditions. The course is rolling hills and you will be guaranteed a good work-out; especially when you have to chase down your disc! It's fun to see how many deer you can find hiding in the underbrush and the giant hawks flying overhead are beautiful.

If you're gonna play this course play it early in the morning when the winds are calm; it's challenging enough without wind gusts.

Make sure to the ask the ranger at the park entrance for directions to the course. It can be a little tuff to find the trail-head that leads to the course.

terrain changes, visible holes, challenge, long holes. good mapping to get to next tees, etc.

long hike to course, no ammenities on course.

great secluded location, quiet.
