    Review by elton807 in course Livermore DGC

    4.00 star(s) Livermore! Another excellent 9-hole addition to the growing number of East Bay DGCs! I love the variety of terrain and elevation, especially being in a multipurpose sports park. Great signs, and baskets. Tons of parking, and easy to find the 1st tee. Sure, there are no tee pads, but I never...

    Review by elton807 in course Huntington Beach Central Park

    3.50 star(s) Good Will Huntington I liked the interesting layout that guides you through a variety of terrain from dirt, to the woods, to open fields, and shaded grassy areas. Super laid-back DGC culture is very evident and the friendly locals were more than helpful to keep me on track. Dual tee pads for...

    Review by elton807 in course Walden Park

    3.50 star(s) Walden Park Awesome location and very welcomed addition to DGC-thirsty chuckers in the Bay Area. Neatly located between downtown WC & Pleasant Hill. Good distances as far as 325ft. and as short as 190ft. Dual basket locations per hole. Really nice Hyser windows on #4 and #6. Sidearmer's delight...

    Review by elton807 in course Micke Grove

    4.00 star(s) No Micke Mouse course! I love how many trees there are to contend with here! Frustrating at times, but that just makes the good shots feel that much better. Only one other person on the course, and he was super friendly. This course is as cute as the Pudu Pudus at the Zoo onsite. Flat, and not...

    Review by elton807 in course New Hogan Dam - West

    5.00 star(s) Hogan's Hero Easily one of my most favorite courses I've played (along with La Mirada, Stafford and Golden Gate). Beautiful scenery, peaceful wild life, and ultra secluded...who could ask for much more? Perfect blend of medium, long, and super long holes, lots of trees & rocks, and some shots...

    Review by elton807 in course New Hogan Dam - East

    4.50 star(s) Hulk's Hogan This is a beautiful rural and secluded DGC that is quite a workout, but well worth the drive and effort. For the most part it's bombs away, but you better have decent aim on some holes featuring the trees. I loved the elevation changes, and hiking the course was pure bliss. Variety...

    Review by elton807 in course Sunset Park

    3.50 star(s) Sunrise at Sunset Terrific use of elevation & landscape for such a limited area. The park itself is host to a plethora of activities including roller hockey and sand volleyball. Great intro/gateway course for beginners. Couse layout does a nice job of isolating shots from busier areas. Can't...

    Review by elton807 in course Brengle Terrace Park DGC

    4.50 star(s) Bringin' it at Brengle Amazing variety of elevation, distance, wooded/open, and unique looks to each hole. Nice tee pads, and very challenging basket locations. No distance signage. Holes 12-15 are certainly not there right now, due to tree cutting project. I obviously didn't get to play...

    Review by elton807 in course Sea Pines Golf Resort

    4.00 star(s) Pining for more DGCs like these! Perched atop a hill overlooking Morro Bay, this is a very scenic course in a manicured country club like setting. You can avoid the "green fee" if you get there after the Pro Shop closes around 7pm. One of the longer courses you'll play, especially a 9 holer...

    Review by elton807 in course Davis Park

    2.00 star(s) The Case for Cason's Cason's Davis Park is actually a decent layout for having just 3 baskets. Each of the 9 holes presents a different look, with 2 of the holes being well over 300ft in length. There's a nice amount of trees to play around and through (most of smaller one's look to be...

    Review by elton807 in course National/Johnson Field

    3.50 star(s) When hope, determination & goodwill collide Legit distances, nice layout, and great use of elevation. Cool airplane adjacent to first hole; fun & unique way to start the round. Variety of tee shots with even a few tomohawk opportunities into the prevailing wind. The navy blue powder coated...

    Review by elton807 in course Mike Garrigan Park

    0.50 star(s) Neglected & abandoned Clean with mowed grass. With only 2 baskets remaining, this cannot be considered an actual course, and is barely enough for practice. ======================= Uniqueness: D (even if all signs & baskets were there, it would be a C-) Difficulty: D- (the only obstacles were the...

    Review by elton807 in course Dorotha Mae Pitts Park

    1.50 star(s) Not totally the Pitts Terrain is actually quite condusive for DG. With a little imagination & planning, one could make quite a decent & challenging 9-hole layout with the 3 baskets given & plenty land available, especially with OB options abound. No usable signage, zero teepads & yes, only 3...

    Review by elton807 in course Peccole Ranch

    4.00 star(s) The Pecularities of Peccole Ranch Beautifully landscaped terrain with great tee pads & signage. Tons of mature & adolescent trees with very aesthetically pleasing boulders scattered in the fairways. Difficult, yes, but also very rewarding & satisfying. My favorite holes are 4, 10-12, & 15-18. #4...

    Review by elton807 in course Paseo Verde Trailhead

    3.00 star(s) Pass the Green! Super clean & brand new shortish course. Superb signage, tee boxes, and baskets. Perfectly mowed grass & some nice sight lines on tee shots. Very little foot & DG traffic. Cute, original and workable layout for the given space. The middle grassy section of the course makes for a...
