This is a well known course to many disc golfers. The grounds are well maintained, but the signs are weather worn and faded. The disc catchers need to be painted to be more visible. The varied terrain, the creek and two lakes make this a challenging course to play. There were a couple of portapotties present last year, but they disappeared recently. I would recommend it for experienced players only.

I loved this course. Yes, it's hard, and yes, the signage is weathered. But there's so much variety...

This is the best course I've played on, and I've played several. My disclaimer though is that I believe you probably need to throw at least 275 feet with accuracy to really enjoy it. It is challenging in a test-your-skills kind of way, and yet most holes are birdie-able with the correct approach. I really like that they mark each hole with the appropriate par. That is they arent all listed as par 3s. Most holes are a play along the water, so even a professional will lose a disc here from time to time. But overall, it is beautiful, it is challenging, and it is FUN! Highly recommended for the Experienced player.

Great course. Arguably the best in the bay area. There is a bit of everything here: elevation, water, trees, technical shots, open shots... It really challenges you and it's a beautiful course as well...

Personally I kind hate going here because I always end up losing a disc into the big lake on the back 9. It's some kind of mental block that I need to exorcise...

Personal vendettas aside, this course easily deserves a 4-chain rating. Might want to swing by the Clearwater disc golf store on the way there though. (Not a plug, I don't even know the owners or anything. I just know I tend to lose discs there...)
