New California courses update thread

There was talk and a bit of momentum for putting in an 18 hole course in Martinez, CA a couple years ago. I spoke with the guy spearheading it, but he ran out of time/energy, so not sure what's happening. It's great terrain in Hidden Lakes park, about 15 minutes from where I live in Benicia. Hoping to have more time next year to dig in and try to make it happen. More info:

Any info on the course in Thousand Oaks? Is it on here? It's in my range and like to know more about it?

Yep. Craig, and Ross & Leonard (who designed golden gate park and are all friends of mine). Ross wanted me to come out there to help but I was too busy with Lake Sonoma and life. But he set the bar pretty high...will be a pay to play mountain course with a lift ride. But with 27 holes and several par 4s and 5s it should be worth your while. I love craigs courses and ross & leonard also know what they're doing, so I'm looking forward to it.

I did add the 32 hole course in Santa Paula last month, the one at point mugu, and the one at forest home. All three of these are near Ventura. That was last month. I was in Norcal this past weekend so I added these courses since I played them. I guess I can do some research and see if I can find anymore out near you.

Just saw this for Yucca Valley here in SOCAL

Looks like the park is being built right now and a frisbee golf course is scheduled to be included. Lets hope its a disc golf course and someone with knowledge designs it.

This was posted on the fresnodiscgolf yahoo groups -

"The China Peak disc golf course will be a go, as long as there is a good ski season and
they make money. It is the intent of the ski park to install an 18 hole course. The 9 holes that will make it a 27 hole course will be installed through as yet uncollected donations, or sponsorships. "We have work to do" to raise money for the extra 9 holes.

I am working with Ross to bring a PDGA sanctioned event to China Peak, looking at a late summer date, all this is still in the planning stages. We do not need to do a "chatter campaign" to make the owners sure about installing the course. They are already pleased with the attention the new course has received and committed to putting the course in.

The installation of the course will be done by our local volunteers. When we are ready for bodies, we will put out the call from Modesto to Tulare for players willing to help. This is a valley wide addition to out disc golf opportunities, it does not happen without the hard work of committed individuals."

Also here is a shot of the proposed Hole 11 - 945 ft

Here is the page for the course going in Arvin near Bakersfield

If you look at the map you can see the disc golf holes laid out.
