appreciate the ideas and information everyone, thank you very much!

I am planning a PCH trip through WA, OR and most of CA. I do not have any WA or OR courses under my belt and have time to play at least 3 rounds. Anyone have any suggestions for courses that are right along the coast?

My dog is an incorrigible dachshund/bulldog mix and is rarely included in a round of golf because he makes me look like the keystone cops. Not saying he is a without redeeming qualities, he is just not as trainable as other breeds I have had. He would literally run himself to death fetching...

I appreciate the tip on Sky High, I will have to take a relative to LAX for an early morning flight. That one may work out well for me!

Will be spending a week in San Diego this summer. Please help me plan for courses My "budget" is three courses, Morley Field will be one of them. Looking for two more courses and my wish is that one of them would have an ocean view. Please feel free to share any thoughts you may have on...

I use champion and opto plastic to good effect.

Hole 11 at Peter Pan Park in Emporia, KS has a peninsula hole. Allowing an island shot for people to "go for it" across the pond. Folks who prefer to lay up can drive the perimeter of the pond, upshot the length of the peninsula and putt for par. I like having the option to lay up.

This is the most encouraging answer. It's great to read about so many people promoting disc golf in their communities. I also agree with the OP's assertion that not everyone appreciates big city life. Another vote for Emporia, KS.
