After finishing a couple of rounds up the road at La Mirada I had an hour or so to kill. So rather than throwing another 18 at that dream of a course, I decided to bag one more course before braving the wilds that are LAX. This was that course.

Equipment: The baskets were all in great condition, the signs are nice and sturdy, and the teepads were sufficiently long and grippy. All things that you want to see on any course. There aren't any equipment cons to list.

Navigation: I don't really have any navigation pros. They put "next tee" tape on the baskets? And the signs are very visible. See cons for the rest.

Design: The course designer does a good job of using the park without really encroaching on the activities of the other park users. The playgrounds, pavilion, and playfields are all safely away from the course. It's a fairly open park style course, but you still get fairly obvious lines to the left and right and you get mandos on a couple of the holes too. Elevation doesn't really come into play because it's a flat park. But there are still some semi-challenging looks and pin placements on rises. It's definitely a decent place to bring a first timer. That's what I always look for in a 9 hole. Nobody is looking to be extra challenged on a niner. So is it a good place to introduce people to the sport? This one does just fine in that regard.

Equipment: No cons to list.

Navigation: There should be a map or something. The tee signs are all obvious, but the "next tee" tape wrapped around the pole of the basket is wildly inaccurate in some cases. One of them even points up and to the left. Not only is the next tee not up a tree, but it's to your right.

Design: I said above that the designer did a pretty good job. They did. But there are some flaws. The walking paths do come into play a bit more than they should. A couple of holes play too close to the street for an inaccurate backhand to be safely thrown. And the walkout from 6 to 7 is a bit much. Without the internet I probably wouldn't have found 7 at all. You just follow the path to your right after you hole out on 6 and walk almost all the way to the street. You'll see the tee sign to your left. My biggest complaint about this course had to be the double mando on 6 though. Not only is it unnecessary in the sense that it doesn't protect any fairways or park users, but it has a tree planted squarely in front of the opening. I guess there's a possibility of a thumber or some sort of roller, but the air shot is nearly gone. The double mando trees are too short to bomb over and actually know that you made the mandos, and the tree in front of the obvious line is too close for any kind of realistic S-curve. I just didn't see the point of it. I'm all about being challenged on the course, but this seemed like the work of a sadistic mind more than anything... Although I did read somewhere that Disney bought the park, so I guess some sadism is to be expected.

All right. I'll just come out and say it. This park smells homeless. It smells like it passed out drunk, peed its pants, and then walked around in the hot California sun for three days just letting it dry and fester. I don't exactly know why that is. Sure there were homeless people on three of the holes. But I've played courses that were worse. I even walked my dog through a Seattle course once where he found a thong on the ground, sniffed it, and jumped like I'd kicked him. I hadn't kicked him. But I've never been to a park that smelled like this. It almost took away from the enjoyment. Almost. You should still stretch your legs out here and get a quick round in though if you're in the area and don't have time for La Mirada.

Not just another little 9er. This one is lit up all night!!

- 9 Baskets with a fun safari layout that makes it interesting.

- A good place to take friends to introduce them to the game. You don't need to throw far to score well here.

- A surprisingly good club presence for a 9 hole course. With regular weekly events, occasional ace race and a good number of solid players that call this course home.

- The regular layout is short. Another deuce or die course.

- There are a lot of non disc golfers, even at night.

- The baskets have seen better days.

The lights set this one apart from the average 9 hole course. The short layout is nothing special and the ambiance is lacking. But on the whole it serves it's purpose well and is the place to go when the sun goes down.

Great to work on upshots and running the baskets on approaches
Lit up all night you can play till dawn if you please
Well manicured grass and is upkept really well

Public Park
Terrible Baskets
Hole 2 fairway is littered with soccer players
'interesting' folks who hang around at night

Its a great place to practice your mids/putters so take it for what it is.

The gorrila layout is actually pretty fun but is really confusing, if you play the random doubles on tues/thrus the people will show you the layout.

-LIGHTS!!!!
-Friendly Players.
-Fairly easy to navigate.
-If you look at the ground on the walkways you'll find hidden tees, I've found a few.

-Non-golfers (even at night)
-No bathrooms at night.
-Could use more lights toward the end of the course (7-8)

I played this at night for the first time and for the most part the last three holes where no where near the first 6 holes, But we were lucky to have other players to help us. What I like the most is I can get my fix after work on my way home.

-LIGHTS! very well-lit for your night-golf needs!
-friendly locals. always handing out compliments from the picnic benches and happy to show you around.
-moderate difficulty and all sorts of shots needed to play the course successfully
-great layout and use of terrain. holes 3 and 4 have you bobbing and weaving through the tall trees. practicing low shots and big hyzers are recommended before playing.
-restrooms at 2 places along the course
-great picnic and bbq area

-hole 8 has poor lighting and eats many a disc at night
-apparently there are quite a few fights there between some essays and golfers. i havnt personally witnessed anything but love over there though.
-course gets wet at night. bring a rag!
-baskets disappear from time to time
-signs could use work as they give you a general idea, but some are inaccurate. makes night golf hard when you cant see the pin.
-for people new to the course, its a little tricky to find your way around
-a few of the baskets could use some work with a mallet.
-only 9 holes
-no golf center

I have only played this course at night. the lighting is the best around for night golf, but make sure youre good at tracking your discs if you play there at night. the locals are some of the most welcoming, gracious hosts i have come across. they are generally more than happy to show you where the holes are and, if you ask nicely, they might even show you the monster course!

Challenging,nice distances. Has a map of each hole at tee off. Some wooded areas. FREE. There is a man that walks around selling corn and ices. YUM

It is a public park so there are some people walking around. Came close to hitting a few. Hole 8 and 9 are on the other side of the park, behind and bathrooms.

Fun course. Close to Knotts if anyone is there and wants to come play
