2.50 star(s) It's Electric! - Lots of open holes that have a ton of options for what you can throw. Plenty of room to air it out. - There's grass! The park itself seems to be relatively well-maintained. - Not far from the city. You don't feel like you're in the city while playing here, more like you're...

4.00 star(s) So many pros. This course sets the standard for: - Signage. From the map by the parking lot, to the tee signs on each hole, and the arrows on each basket indicating where the next tee is, everything here was clear as day. No confusion as to where to go next. OB and mandos clearly explained...

4.50 star(s) The legends are true. This course is fantastic. Idyllic disc golf course in a public park setting. Three practice baskets near the parking lot immediately let you know that this place takes disc golf seriously. The course layout makes excellent use of the park, and while some fairways play...

3.50 star(s) If you can't manage to have a good time here, you're doing it wrong. - Wide open and flat. Lots of chances to air it out, and most holes have many different shot options. - Beautiful scenery. More lush, green grass than we're accustomed to anywhere here in LA (except La Mirada). Large palm...

5.00 star(s) One of the Best in the Sport - Signage: amazing. High-quality signs on each tee, indicating all basket locations, distance, and other course info. Arrows below each basket directing you to the next tee. Signs pointing you in the right way when it is unclear. I had a map but didn't really need it...

4.00 star(s) Lesser of Two, But Still a Gem - Great course design, allows for lots of different shots. Plenty of "grip it and rip it" holes, as well as holes that are more technical and require some finesse. - Serene setting. The course is very well-maintained, grassy, and plays like a ball golf course...

4.00 star(s) Bryan Park BP is easily the most scenic course in Richmond. It is my home course and by far my favorite, for several reasons. First of all, the park is gorgeous. It is very well maintained year-round. It is also the most open park in the area, with a lot of opportunities for long drives (Par 4...

4.50 star(s) (Nearly) As Good As It Gets - Great layout. Makes excellent use of the property, featuring uphill, downhill, doglegs left and right, wide open "grip it and rip it" shots, and shots that require more precision. - Challenging. Many of the holes are long, and none are easy. - Well kept. I...

0.50 star(s) Not Worth Playing, but Has Potential to Improve - Course design makes good use of the topography, and provides some nice variation from the holes at nearby Chavez Ridge. - Unlike at Chavez, there's grass!! - Nice views of the city. - New baskets. And that's about where the pros end... -...

4.00 star(s) Great Thrills on Dusty Hills - Great use of the land in the course design. Steep hills come into play on most of the holes. My first few trips here I was really frustrated with all of the up and down (you will likely get RIDGE'D more than once - any shot here can end up rolling WAY down a hill)...

4.00 star(s) Confidence Round with Nice Touches - Creative course design, featuring 9 circular cement tees, each with 3 baskets (red = short, blue = mid, yellow = long). Could play as 27, but I played 18 - reds on 1-9 and yellows 10-18. - Every hole (except, I think, the first two) has a great chill zone...

4.00 star(s) Must play! More fun once familiar. - Historic value. First permanent course ever!! You can see one of the original baskets tucked into a tree to the left of the fairway on Hole #10. - Scenery. All of the old oak trees make you forget you're still in Los Angeles (whereas at nearby Chavez Ridge...

Mountain Jam

im hittin the blue ridge ice bowl in greene county 2/6, and then the richmond one on 2/13. gettin pumped.

3.50 star(s) Monster Mash The Monster, as mentioned in earlier reviews, is still very much a work in progress. I decided I had to check it out after hearing that this was the longest course in the state, and it definitely lives up to the hype - this course is loooong! I played from the short tees and it was...
