Well maintained. Plenty of trash cans and nearly litter free. Great more "rustic" setting then most SoCal courses. Great sinage was being installed as I played. Elevation changes, and a good mix bag of shots. It took nearly every shot in my bag. Most holes are birdieable if you are a moderate player. There are a few huge bombs and a couple tough uphill shots. Plenty of obsticals, and the rough is not too rough.
A good mix of distances. Well maintained and placed T-pads. Pro-shop on-site. Pro-shop takes Visa/Mastercard/Discover. Plently of cold drinks and snacks in stock at fair prices. Large selection of Innova and a moderate selection of Discraft. A good selection of rare discs, and X-outs. Small used stash. What is really great is that they have a lost and found section, though it would be tough to loose a disc here. Friendly staff.
Intuitive Red, White, and Blue basket system makes it very easy to navigate. Maps provided at proshop when you pay your entrance fee. Paths are worn in and easy to follow. Conrete tees poured throughout the course. Friendly locals always willing to let you pick up a game, or give you navigation directions. Multiple pin positions.
There is a putt practice basket that is very well set up. It contains a "confidence" ring made out of concrete blocks. Each block is labled with a distace to quite a way out. Great place to tune in your short game, start from the closest block and work out. Its truely a So-cal Gem.

There are only few small cons, and I have to dig to find them on this course.
Biggest drawback was there was kinda a creepy homeless guy looking for bottles and cans, but he kept to himself.
Although it is not an issue for me, some recreational players might get winded/tired out from some of the climbs.
As the same for all So-Cal Parks drinking is a bad idea on the course so keep yer beers low, if you fancy that sort of thing on the course.

So far this is the best year round course I have found in SoCal. Only course that tops it that I have seen here is Sunrise. If you are in the area, this is a must play.

• Elevation changes constant throughout the course - lots of tough uphill shots and plenty of epic downhills
• Weather proof concrete tee pads
• Great Pro Shop with a top of the line selection of discs, primary Innova. Some great hard to find discs here as well.
• Creative pin placements mixed in with man made rock outcroppings
• Red White and Blue Tee Sign/Basket markings leave the guesswork out of in hole navigation.
• Each hole seemed to have multiple pin positions
• Friendly locals, it definitely is a happening place on the weekends. Between 8:30 - 9:30am seemed like an ideal time to tee off.
• Amazing scenery with views of the Valley and beyond
• Seats and benches on almost every hole

• Tee pad lengths vary a bit - some are a bit shorter than others
• Not very many restrooms. Guess I shouldn't have drank a liter of water on the way.
• A map is probably necessary the first time if you don't have a guide - it is not always totally clear what the "next" basket is. I guess you could technically follow the Red, White, Blue colorcode but I turned the wrong way for the "next hole" a few times.
• It would be nice to have some tee signs with a map of pin positions, but at least they have the hole number and color

Veteran's Park in Sylmar is a beautiful, historic park tucked in at the base of the mountains. The top part of the park used to hold the grounds for Olive Crest Hospital, which was destroyed in the 1971 Sylmar Quake. The course went through a redesign in the last few years and its current state is better than ever. This course looks like a lot of man hours have been invested in landscape design and manicure.

There is a great mix of medium and long length holes here - intermediate to advanced players will feel completely at home. The angles all seem thought out, and nothing is an Easy deuce. The uphill shots tend to be killers, Like Hole # 12. Goes up about 100 to 120 feet in elevation and it is a 300 foot or so hole in length. The downhill shots make you think about your line, and the affects of the wind. Since there is so much elevation drop, if you get the disc up it will fade drastically.

You will also need a good mix of shots here, especially the "Get out of trouble" shot that comes in handy so much when you come in close contact with obstacles or rough. Bring your forehand and tomahawk game along with your hyzer and anhyzer rhbh shots. When you get tempted to "air it out", be conservative and stay closer to the ground and you will be rewarded on this course.

Sylmar is a must play in the L.A. area if you are visiting. The grounds that the course is based on are ideal for disc golf, especially with the drastic and sudden elevation changes. Signature hole seems to be # 11, boasting a walled in tee on the side of the hill shooting down to a basket at about 330 - 370 placed on top of a man made pyramid. It makes the bottom of the basket sit at about 9 feet off the ground. Truly unique hole, especially for Socal. Bottom line, there is nothing like this course in the Southern California area - it is in a league of its own.

Fantastic mix of technical holes with left, right up, down, long, and short options. This course makes you really think about your shot, not only are the lines carved through the trees tough but then you add elevation and you really have to take your time and plan your shot. Something that is lacking in most So Cal courses.

Plays near the bottom of a hill that can see about 75' (?) of elevation on a few holes with a cool "top of the world" hole with the pin on top of a man made pyramid. The flow of the holes is perfect as there is very little travel between holes; the course look shoehorned into it's spot but there is very little overlap of fairways and you never feel like you'll be throwing on anyone ever with the tighter feel.

Navigation is a breeze from tee to tee, tee signs are in great shape and the Red, White, and Blue basket/tee sign system needs to be implemented across the country at higher level courses. No guessing whatsoever to which basket to throw at.

Grounds are well manicured as well as trees and obstacles, mulch covers 2/3 of the fariways along with some undulating hills at the bottom of the hill with some rockey terrain thrown in. Cool gazebos at a couple tees which are all cement and of proper size for each hole. Shorter hole, shorter tee box, long hole, long tee box.

Pro shop has the most discs this side of Discovering the World and it's run by a true pro; Steve Rico. He looks a little sleepy in the morning but will gladly answer all questions. $2 per day to play and you can see that small fee being used to help the course.

Only 1 practice basket (pretty rickety at that) and a pretty small practice area around it. Could probably use 1 more long hole but I'm sure that's taken care of at tournaments with some different pin placements.

This is my favorite course in SoCal. I will gladly travel the hour+ to play this course.

You have to think so much more at this course than anywhere else in the area. Birdies are available but you really have to think about your shot and be able to shape a line to get to the pin.

The mix of elevation, natural obstacles, course amenities, and the technique required to score well make this one a must for all golfers.

$2 to play is a steal at this course, not a con at all when you can see exactly where the money is going and know it's being put to good use.

-Grippy concrete tees
-Deep baskets, changed regularly and in great shape
-Hole design. Excellent use of terrain and plethora of trees. Most of the holes have a ceiling and/or a tunnel to navigate. Hole 11 is an exception. Throw off a 25' ridge around some tree trunks and tree tops, waaaaay down to either the corner of the course or to the basket atop an elevated pyramid. Great, open shot to mix things up a bit. Most holes utilize a significant elevation change masterfully. Very little fairway crossover.
-Pretty clean park setting. A few bottles here and there, but overall very well kept.
-DG exclusive area. Crowds have never been a problem when I have played.
-Plenty of parking
-One of the best pro shops on a SoCal course. Go buy up all their DGA and Gateway stuff so they can restock with Lat 64. Jokes aside, very knowledgeable gentleman working the shop will help you find whatever you seek.
-Really innovative Red, White, Blue basket system helps finding the proper target a breeze (though the reds and blues are a little tough to see when they are shaded).

-Pay to play. But the tees are clean, baskets are rotated regularly and maps and scorecards are free, so the $2 seems a small price to pay.
-I can see people having problems navigating the layout. I had a guide the two times I have played this course since the redesign, and i recommend you do the same.
-Missing a few signs on tees.
-Last 2 holes are right along a fence with no holes. It's a long walk around the fence to get your discs back.

This is a course that has benefited greatly from the Rico's expertise. I played the old layout a handful of times and the newer, tougher layout is much more technical, with far more diverse lines to take off of each tee. Definitely an improvement in design.

They have also elevated the pro shop to an enviable level. The disc selection in the shack is unrivaled in the SoCal DG pro shop world. The busy bulletin boards around the pro shop are evidence of a vibrant local scene.

I really want to come back to Sylmar and spend some time there to get a better feel for the place and the people as their locals have a rep as being some of the friendliest around. I had a similar experience there. Stopped to let some guys play through so I could follow them and they insisted I join them. Incredibly friendly bunch who have my gratitude (thanks, Doug).

This is a tough course that will challenge every aspect of your game. Definitely worth checking out if you are in the area.

***UPDATE***

The word is number 10 PDGA rated (as of 1/26/2010) Steve Rico gives lessons for $20.

That's like having Rob Machado give you dirt cheap surfing lessons.

God I love this sport.

+.5 disc for the course.

Took a lesson with Mr. Steve Rico. What a cool cat. Call the 19th Hole to schedule your private lesson. 818 362 9499

-Many pin positions, changed regularly.
-Alternating red, white, and blue rimmed baskets make course navigation easy for newcomers. I honestly don't know why more courses don't do this.
-Variety of holes...3 grass pins at the beginning, dirt and woodchips for the rest.
-Practice basket with markers stating distances.
-Best Pro Shop I have seen in So Cal.
-99% DG exclusive. Non golfers are fully aware of the game if they are walking through.
-Pay to play. Yes, this is a PRO to me.
-Never gets repetitive. Easy, hard, and otherwise interesting shots are all spread out throughout the course.

-Can get dusty and hot in the summertime
-Toward the end of the day, locals tend to bunch up into HUGE groups. That two-some you allowed to pass you earlier can magically become a group of 8 or more a few holes in.
-Can get busy, course is not the most spread out that I have been to but is professionally designed.

Veterans Park plays on a sloping, wooded corner of a very large multi-use park. The first three holes play flat on grass, but following that, it heads down the slope into the rest of the course; a heavily wooded, always sloped, dirt/wood chip/natural grass DG exclusive paradise.

The $2 pay to play is chump change to pay at this course, where it is always evident that the money is being spent on the course. Besides, where else can you ask a pro of Steve Rico's caliber for advice on disc purchases? In just over a year, they have planted trees, added two long tees, rotate the pins very regularly, added new red & gold level pin positions, and created an awful but awesome double mandatory.

Signature hole 11 plays down about a 35 foot hill, and sometimes the pin is located on top of a man made pyramid. A very rewarding birdie...when you can make it.

Hole 7 is the most difficult on the course, with a vertical rise of about 20 feet and a long narrow tunnel to start it off. Often, the pin lies behind a large ditch that acts as an OB 'lake.'

Course flow is easy to interpret, but has a few areas that can become confusing to the newcomer. Maps and scorecards are provided in the pro shop. Also remember that they designed the course with red, white, and blue tee signs and baskets. It starts on a 'red' hole, followed by a 'white' one, and so on. Remembering this eliminates any confusion as to what hole the next one is when there are several in the vicinity.

Only one mandatory on the whole course, and most holes can be played exclusively RHBH. Some neat OB's add some challenge, especially when they put pin 9 on its 'island,' or pin 7 behind the planter. Hole 17 plays OB on the sidewalk and whatever side the pin is NOT on. OB re-tees.

Comparing to other LA courses, this one successfully combines distance and technicality. Wooded courses are short, park courses are long, but this one is both. Some wild elevation changes add to the challenge. The last three holes all play uphill, and I wish there was a more climactic ending, but there is nothing they can do about it based on their available land.

This is my favorite course to play in Los Angeles. The constant surprises, wonderful vibe, and always helpful pro shop make it a destination course in my mind, and the first one I recommend if you only have a few days in the area.

- Just added a website: http://sylmardiscgolf.com
- Best pro shop I have been to so far in my short disc golf career (Started June 2009) .
- All levels can play here.
- Regular tournaments every Thu before dark, call to get time, and Every third Sat. I am a new player and have yet to try a tourney. There is an ace pool. Gets in the hundreds I am told.
- Holes are varied regularly. I have been playing this course since June 2009 and I still see new holes.
- Excellent acess, easy to find.
- Good bathrooms (near hole 5)
- Plenty of parking.
- Excellent course map displayed on the bulletin board near tee 1.

- Watch out for the fence on hole 6. Throw it over and you will have a long walk. There is a hole in the fence benind basket 5.

- Bring a course map for your first visit.
- They say the pro shop opens at 8am, but this has never been the case for all of my visits. I would say 10am is the average opening time.
- I buy all my discs here. The pro shop is well stocked. I also take my 14 year old daughter and 6 year old boy. Good family fun
- The locals are the best.
- This is my favorite course of all the local courses I frequent.

Where to start?
Pro shop: with excellent selection of discs, drinks, snaks, etc.

Tons of old growth. Beautiful scenery. Kind of stuff we dont have in north Texas.

Challenging : Plenty of distance for the long bombers. Scenic elevation changing shots up and down hill. You will use every shot in your bag.

Great Locals!

Bathrooms, etc etc

The only con i can think of is that I'm not yet good enough to shoot under par here.
It's a really fun course to play!

I travel for a living and get to play a different course about every week since i started playing about 7 months ago. This is without a doubt one of the top 5 courses i've played and the people i met made it the best. Very friendly locals that taught me a lot about the sport and even took me on a road trip up north to play a few courses. I recomend anyone of any skill level to play this course. It will make anyone better. If work doesn't bring me back to this course, I'll still be back.

This course basically plays across a more-or-less gentle slope, with some wooded holes and some clear. Lots of technical shots here but also a few holes where the big arms can air it out. #11, which shoots downhill and #17, which shoots uphill, are both good "D" holes.

The Rico brothers run the course and operate the pro shop. This is an immense "pro", since not only do they stock a very wide variety of plastic, but they're also ready and willing to advise on disc selection. They also run periodic clinics for players and will not hesitate to offer technique tips.

They've also done a real number on a lot of the tee pads, which are now all level and come with benches and retaining walls as needed. There's a practice basket and picnic tables near the parking lot, too.

While you're playing, you can also watch the hang gliders who cruise up and down the thermals in the hills - just a little side attraction you don't find everywhere.

With the exception of the first couple of holes, the ground here is very rough. Lots of rocks and bare earth, which means your DX plastic will bear scars.

This course was completely redesigned a few years ago when the Ricos took over. I thought it was a good course back then, but now it's even better.

differnet terrain. grass, dirt, wood chips, rocks, trees etc. different types of shots required. challange to get to basket without hitting a tree on probably half the holes. close to freeway. disc gold exclusive area. only 2 dollars. map and sign. easy to find next hole

ending with three uphill holes is a killer

goood place to play nobody was there at 6am on a saturday.

the multiple pin positions and the fact that they get moved regularly makes it a varied experience. Bring your best game if you want to score well as it can give a challenge to even the most experienced players. There a lot of friendly locals. The Pro shop is fully supplied and you can get any disc available in there and maybe even on of there SUPER ROC's of the wall if the price is right

if i have to o would say the only thing is it can get crowded on the weekends with big groups

The weekly tourney is on thursdays at 5pm

A Well Rounded Course that makes you bring out all your skills. In my opinion, it is one of the best course within an hour drive of LA. It was a very luck based course unless your a pro. Well mantained and it was run by great guys. The Red White and Blue markers made the course very easy to follow. The Pro Shop is awesome and I buy all my disc here. Overall, a great course with a lot of pros. It is also very cheap $2.

There are few, if any, cons to this course however. It can get really hot in the summer. Also, it can tear up your DX disc and its not in the greatest area. No others that I can think of.

This is a course up there with all the courses in the Southern California area. I think I saw TalbotTrojan today here too.

Favorite Holes:
Front 9: Hole 4
A very challenging hole that makes you turn both ways with difficult
Back 9: Hole 11
A downhill gem that makes your frisbee fly. Ending with a ten foot pyramid hole. My personal best is a 2 on this hole

Well laid out course that makes great use of the terrain. There is great variation in distances and shot types. Every hole provided a great challenge but there was nothing too difficult to make it annoying. There is is a very high risk reward level on this course as one bad throw makes it really hard to save par. There was a great flow to the course and I really felt like I was out of the city as I was playing this round, a huge bonus for being in the greater LA area. I found all the tee pads to be wonderful, even if they were different on just about every hole. The tee signs were very helpful and the fact that the basket color rotated (Red, White, Blue) throughout the course helped do away with any confusion especially with matching colors on the tee signs. There is a fully stocked pro shop right there in the parking lot with a very helpful owner. This is the home course of Steve Rico and he dose a lot for this course. There are multiple basket locations and they are changed once a week. There will be little to no foot traffic on this course.

The biggest negative in my opinion is that this a a pay to play course. After that I am really reaching to come up with some negatives. There were a bunch of holes that felt like they were straight uphill. Some of the baskets were not consistent with the rest of the course having either stiff chains or a shallow basket. Even though this course plays through the trees, it can still get very hot. It was somewhere in the 80's when I played and coming up the hill near the end felt like it was much hotter than that.

After just playing a couple of rounds this course may actually have become my favorite course in the greater LA area, even over La Mirada, where I have over 100 rounds. The care that goes into this course is amazing and the only thing that maybe keeps this course at the same level as La Mirada is that it is only 18 holes and you have to pay $2 to play. I loved the fact that I really felt like I was somewhere besides in a city park with only a couple of holes playing over grass. Otherwise it had the feel of a mountain course to some extent, especially when considering the fact that you really have to choose the right line and then hit it. There are some very tight holes on the course. I do not know what to say about thrower traffic for this course. There was almost no one there as I played on a monday late morning and early afternoon but I am sure that a gem of a course like this will get a lot more traffic. I heard that there was also a temp course set up for a recent tournament that is super challenging and amazing in its own right, if only they could make it a second permanent course here.

Great use of the terrain, has a natural flow. Losta elevation changes. Tight, Open, Long, Short, Lefts, Rights shots. Brings all the skills out. By far my favorite course in the greater LA area.

Ingenious use of alternating Red, White, & Blue Teesigns and Holes (makes following the course easier). Accurate and good signage. Excellent teepads, all concrete and large.

Has a excellent pro shop with really friendly, good people runnin' it. Great plastic for sale at reasonable prices. As well as the rest of the gear and refreshments and snacks. Restroom is centrally located in the course and clean. All holes have benches and trash cans. The Summertime layout (extra 18 added at park for tourney) is awesome

The Course Is Disc Golf Exclusive!!!

Not any that I can think of....... A must play if your anywhere near the course!!!!

Some rocky terrain that will chew up your DX plastic, my Star stuff does pretty good...... But that is just pouting, not a real con.

Can't say enough how great the people are that I met. From the shop to all the people playin'.

Favorite Holes:

Front, #1. Makes you use accuracy and textbook technique. I throw the Stingray LHBH and hope it makes it through the trees

Back, #11 Take it deep and to the left and let 'er bomb in. The pyramid, elevated placement is great fun and an extra challenge

Worth every dime of the 2 bucks they ask for to play

The setting of this course is very nice. Tucked up a mountainside just a short drive north from the 210 freeway, and only a few minutes east of the 5, it is very accessible. The neighborhood is working class, but friendly. We arrived at this course on a day when the rain clouds were just lifting after several rainy days. The sky was crystal clear, and there were wonderful views of San Fernando Valley and all the surrounding mountains.

The course is set on a bumpy hillside that used to be part of a Veterans hospital and care center, is well-mowed grass with numerous kinds of mature trees. There was an enormous hawk flying around the course while we were there, which was fun to watch.

A pro shop selling almost exclusively Innova discs is right at the parking lot and tee #1 (more Discraft discs can be found at a convenience market down the hill a few block from the course on Sayer). The people are friendly. While there is a $2/per day fee to play, the proceeds very obviously go toward making this a very nicely maintained course stocked with new baskets, signs, concrete tees, etc..

There are right turning, left turning, multiple pathway, gentle uphill, extreme uphill, gentle downhill, across hill, tunnel shots, tree shrouded, open, and every other kind of hole you could possibly extract from this course. There are multiple pin positions, and distances range from just over 200 ft to well over 400 ft. I used right hand backhand drives off the tee about 50% of the time, rollers 10%, and forehand about 40%. Several of the tees have a couple trees ahead on either side that psych you out and which are heavily scarred by thousands of disc strikes.

When we were there the course was relatively free of players, and we never had to wait at a tee. The vibe was relaxed and people were playing at a comfortable pace. There were no jerks who act like they own the place, no idiots who threaten and intimidate newcomers or visitors like you might find at other courses like Oak Grove.

There were a few holes where tree cutting and removal created piles of debris that were some what in the fairway, but these weren't really all that bad.

Some of the local players I talked to had fun stories about other locals, such as an old veteran master who can skip his disc off some of the roofs of nearby houses on the holes near the bottom of the course and park a birdie. Seems almost impossible, but fun to think about nonetheless.

I'm not a big fan of the Innova baskets in use here, mostly because the high profile top rim seems to present a psychological distraction and is a disc magnet for me. Also because they are becoming too dominant in the disc golf industry, and I like to see money spread around a bit more.

The Sheriff was cruising the park right at sunset and making sure everyone was leaving the park, so plan accordingly.

Nice, moderately wooded park on the slopes of nearby mountains. Excellent signs, cement tee pads and red/white/blue basket sequence to curb navigation issues.

Mountainside views offer an expansive view of the San Fernando valley, with coniferous trees giving it a different feel than other area courses. Several holes have expansive areas of bark, presumably to cut down on dust and erosion.Great maintenance and course design.

Tee pads are particularly good, better than any in the area. Tee view from Hole 11 is outstanding, with a Casitas-like downhill drive. Also has some Morley Field-like Holes (4, 5, 8-10).

Slopes of hills make distance and power required for shots difficult to judge, increasing the challenge factor.

City park course, with a few holes that are similar. Few long (>400') holes. Fairly crowded course, with waiting often part of the deal.

It seems there are other areas of the park that could in theory host more holes.

One of the best LA-metro courses, with additional attention to details such as selective tree removal, signs and navigational aids.

Reasonable $2 admittance fee, and an on-site pro shop with snacks and drinks.

Awesome layout and use of space. Red, white, and blue pins to help guide you through the course. A fair amount of accuracy is needed to be successful here but not too much distance is needed. Bathroom facilities are centrally located on the course and are accessible from all protons of the park.It was also very well maintained and has a great pro shop. some elevated baskets with brick stairs around them. most of the holes do a good job of changing the flow of the course, making sure that the same shot is not used on the next hole. concrete tees and discatcher baskets.

the course is pay to play but it is clear that the money you spend actually goes back into the course. and it's dog friendly.

some very short holes. construction debris, but it is to improve the course. the small chance you may have to retrieve a disc from one of the back yards.

every time i come home i make sure to come out and play this course.

this is also the course that the new Climo Feldberg DVD was shot at.

One of the best courses in Southern California. (and i played 20 of them, the week I was in the area)

Pro shop on site

This may be hard to understand but, each next tee sign was painted a different color, but once I figured it out it made finding the next hole alot simpler. The color sequence is red white and blue. So hole # 1 might be red, hole # 2 white, and hole # 3 blue, then hole # 4 red and so on. Only course that I know of that uses this method.

A lot of park/ club activity done to improve park.

Great Mexican restaurant at the bottom of the hill across the street from a school

A few of the latter holes run along a fence that seperates the park from the residential area, (i'm left handed so it didn't really come in play) but if a disc was thrown over the fence the 'old perverbial' climb or the fence retrieval method could be used, or a long walk around.

Lack of shaded parking spaces.

Not in the best neighborhood, but not in the worst either. Just be aware of your surroundings.

18 well groomed holes with maps at each tee to direct you to the basket. The course is mainly inhabited by disc players with the occasional jogger or couple passing through, which provides a pleasant tone. Every hole offers a unique challenge. The onsite disc center has discs for sale and the guys there are always friendly and helpful. Generally everyone encountered playing there is helpful and courtious.

A few holes run along a fence that seperates the park from the residential area, and I have seen a few throws make it to the street, which leads to fence climb retrieval, or a long walk around. Other than that, everything is great, and even the fence isn't that bad, as long as it isn't me who has to go get the disc that went over the fence.

Make sure you give yourself about an hour and a half to two hours to play before sunset, as the last holes seem to get real dark as the sun sets.

One of the best courses in Southern California. The course plays mostly on a gently sloping hillside covered with eucalyptus trees, pine trees, oak trees and even some palm trees. The first few holes do play across grass. There is a great variety of throws required to be successful out here. You will find a nice balance between tight vs. open fairways, right-handed vs. left- handed, short vs. long and flat vs. elevation. They do a nice job of rotating basket placements to make things a little different each time you play. When the baskets are in their short positions, a 1000-rated round could be a -11. However, when they are all long, then a 1000-rated round could be a -3. The variations in basket placements definitely alters the overall challenge of the course. Replay never gets old out here. Outstanding pro shop that is well-stocked and well-staffed. Great local scene with competitive weekly's on Thursday evenings and monthly's on the third Saturday of each month. This is the home course of Steven Rico and Bamba Rico. They are great about giving tips and advice. Another positive is that you don't have to worry about non-disc golfers on the course. There is very little foot traffic on the paths through the course so we have it all to ourselves.

Sylmar can get very hot! Make sure to bring water during the summer or if you planning a long day with lots of rounds. This is not really an issue for me, but just wanted to give some people a heads up in advance.

Gary Sandoval, Steve Rico, Bamba Rico and other locals do a great job putting on two PDGA tournaments every year. The Sylmar Open is a one-day, three-round tournament held during the Spring. It is definitely a test of your endurance and focus. The Summertime Open is held later in the year and it is by far one of the best tournaments I have played in. It is a two-day, four-round tournament that attracts the best Pros and Ams from all around because of the large payouts, nice players' packs and the near-legendary temporary Upper Course they put in for just a few days for the Summertime Open. If this course were permanent, I would rate it as 5.0 Discs. These tournaments just add to the overall experience of Sylmar.

This course is my favorite it is just challenging enough to make it difficult, but you can get some great shots. It has its own store and the course is owned by the 2006 Japan Open Winner Steve Rico. The longest hole by my memory is 360 ft. This course is very well taken care of some hills on 4 of the holes . Ive been there a couple of times and love it every time.

We got lost on a one hole but every thing else is great.
