If your looking for a perfectly manicured disc golf course, La Mirada park is it! This is probably the most under-rated championship caliber course in California. The centerpiece for the first 18 holes is a lake, surrounded by grassy, tree-covered little hills. All different types of trees, from citrus to pine, surround the course and the slight elevations changes makes every shot a little different and challenging. A must play.
La Mirada is a beautiful grass style course. Well manicured rolling grassy hills around the lake. It has length, difficulty and some nice elevation. The front 18 often has more foot traffic. I prefer the back 18 if only playing one round.
Stopped by here with a few buddies and played a solid 4 hours.
Pro: One of the best organized courses I have been on. There is little maps at each tee to show you location of chains. Plenty of challenging drives, and short game play. Full of tree, hill, and even water obstacles. Food locations are pretty close by and are cheap.
Con:Crappy location, driving in the traffic sucked. This place gets pretty busy with foot traffic (e.g., other golfers, kids running around like Lord of the flies). During the winter or fall there is a lot of foliage on the ground, if you don't have a bright disc you are bummed.
La Mirada is just a phenomenal park. Its a very fun adventurous park with some complicated holes. This is the only course i know i can hit every tree on every hole.
La Mirada is an amazing course. I would say it is the best "city" course I ever played. Hole 1 for both 18 starts right by the bathrooms, pro shop and practice baskets. The course meanders through rolling grass hills, with water and tree obstacles. Plenty of elevation change, long and short holes, with every hole having multiple pin positions and nice cement pads. EVERYTHING you do is in public view.
I gave this course a 3 because the front 18 baskets were all out of whack, switching from Innova Discatcher to Mach 3, some of them pretty beat up, with almost every number wrong. Also, the day I played, 26JAN10, on the back 18, holes 11 - 15 were closed with no baskets. This course should be a solid 5, but until they get the basket mess figured out it's a 3.
I love playing this course! It is beautiful, with many challenges for your long and short game! I prefer the back 18 on busy days, since the front can get lots of traffic. The people at the pro shop are always helpful and really love the game! You can make a whole day out of this course. The tees are great, the holes are fun, and there are so many that you can always skip one or two if there is a lot of traffic!
Lots of elevation changes, which was tricky but good.
If you're in a rush, I'd recommend parking at the community center and just starting on the 15th tee.
This place is Big. Be ready to do alot of walking. The trees are also challenge. This course will definetly make you good at driving long distances.
Pros:
36 holes, very cool to have so much variety
Nice parkland setting, good footing
Hilly enough for some up and down challenges
Cons:
Back 9 of second 18 very technical with lots of mandys and OB - seems a little forced in the parking lot holes
Does not use the trees as effectively as might be to shape the holes
Notes:
Foot traffic can be busy weekends on holes 1 and 18 of front 18. Great course overall though.
This coarse is Insane! The back 18 are relativly basic but the front 18 are very challenging. Try not to throw your disks in the water like I did. (I did manage to get it out after our game) I love the coarse and I love how clean cut the entire park is. This is a fun but challenging coarse to play. I love it!
