Very sad to hear about Ragnars passing. He had a beautiful spirit and we shared many good conversations over the years. My wife and I had dinner over at his place before we moved out West...one of the more enjoyable meals I have shared.

A group has been playing a version of Wolf at UC San Diego on Sunday mornings since the late 70s. Here is how it works: A throwing order is established (we based it on seniority). 1st player tees off, and has the option of "Wolfing" (playing solo vs the rest of the group) or waiting to...

4.00 star(s) I LUV KNOB HILL This review refers to the Blue Tees layout at the 2015 Worlds. Delightful course featuring tight woods, open field crushes, well designed fairways and well placed pin positions that demand a variety of tee shots and approach shots with plenty of nasty rough and some OB tossed...

4.50 star(s) Iron Woods This review is for the Gold Layout. Extremely challenging, features long, tight woods holes and a few open field crushes that will test almost every aspect of your game. Hole 1 is a left-right shot with a relatively narrow passageway that opens towards the pin...don't finish early...

4.50 star(s) Crush and Watch This review refers to the 2015 Worlds Gold layout. Beautiful setting with plenty of wide open crushes mixed in with some OB (strings and water) to keep you on your toes. Most of the holes are relatively open and favor the biggest arms, but a few touch shot holes are included...

4.50 star(s) Tough Challenge This review refers to the Blue Tees layout for the 2015 Worlds: Outstanding course design with a great mix of tightly wooded and open crushes that demands a variety of left-right, right-left and straight shots that will test the abilities of the best players. The majority of...

4.00 star(s) Old School Rules! An extremely charming course in a unique setting that will have you grinning with delight as soon as you arrive. Bring the kids, this is a short, recreational course with narrow pathways and wonderful personal touches courtesy of Brian, the deservedly proud owner and operator...

3.00 star(s) Nice High Country Setting Great setting, with some cute pin positions amongst the rocks. Technically challenging, requiring power and finesse. Holes 8,9,10 are a great combination of smart play, raw power and high country terrain. Hole 11 is a cute downhiller. Plenty of trees that require...

4.50 star(s) SHWEET! Great layout in semi-remote high country setting. Excellent pin placements on many holes that demand precise control and mastery of righty/lefty forehand and backhand shots. Hole 9, a downhill with the pin precariously close to the pond, is spectacular and thirsty and ranks up there...

4.00 star(s) Kansas City Here I Come This review refers to the 2009 Worlds layout. Awesome terrain with challenging par 4 and par 5 holes designed for the big arms. The first hole is a well designed par 5 that requires a long turnover or super crush righty hyzer tee shot followed by a near blind crush that...

4.50 star(s) Par 4 Golf: Yummy Yummy Yummy! This is Disc GOLF. Requires a full arsenal of left, right and straight shots at a variety of power ranges. Optimal landing zones demand precise control of 150' to 400+' tee shots, with multiple routes to many of the baskets. The front nine is long and...

4.00 star(s) Winner Winner Chicken Dinner Three tee pads per hole (Red, Blue, Black) with increasing levels of technicality and distance. The Red and Blue tees often have multiple options, especially the Blue Tees (which were my favorite). The course is very easy to follow once you find the first tee...

2.50 star(s) Great Park Decent mix of long crushes and short finesse shots with some well defined fairways and nice elevation changes. The lake comes into play and there is plenty of road OB that rewards well placed shots. The park is set in the foothills with wonderful views of snow capped mountains (at...

When I returned to DG in 1998 after a roughly 10 year layoff did an internet search to figure out what discs most people threw. Roc and Aviar topped the list so I bought one of each. I did not like the DX plastic as much since the flight path changed so quickly given the large number of trees...

4.00 star(s) Cherry Spring Multiple tees and pins. Great selection of fun, demanding shots with rolling hills, mature trees, and lefty friendly. Good mix of length and variety in a beautiful setting. Great local scene on Thursday nights (TNT). The long tees are especially challenging, although blind at...
