    Review by nelsofthewoods in course Westport Community DGC

    3.50 star(s) Somebody needed to write something -Good design. Average lengths with open shots. -Very scenic with the pacific stretching out for miles to your west. -Flowed decent, and not busy at all. In-fact, I had the course to myself. -Wind can definitely be a factor, and discs can hide better than you'd...

    Review by nelsofthewoods in course Lava Creek DGC

    4.50 star(s) A fun time. -This is a great distance course. Mostly open shots, but a fair amount of technical holes as well. Anybody with a big arm will enjoy this course. -They do a good job maintaining the place. -Good location, weather-wise. Paradise will be a little cooler in the summer than the valley...

    Review by nelsofthewoods in course Deer Meadow

    3.50 star(s) Good -Cement tee pads, good baskets, logical flow and decent signage. -Beautiful place for disc golf, course was clean (no trash), quiet and peaceful. -Star Thistle, it's a nasty weed and was prevalent when I played here. -Intense sun, little shade, not so much a con just remember a hat! One...

    Review by nelsofthewoods in course Lake Mendocino - North

    4.00 star(s) Enjoyable A woodsy course that starts mild then starts a modest climb up a hill then plays back down and ends where it starts. Not much distance, technical shots, clearly marked, benches where needed. Some holes had ravines I played to avoid as I didn't want to climb down them. Not much trash...

    Review by nelsofthewoods in course Cooper Gulch

    3.00 star(s) Can't really complain -Lots of foliage make for some challenging lines. -Holes are relatively easy to navigate. -Ball fields are good for working on distance, also skate-park looks nice. -While it does appear to be getting cleaner, it still has some trash around, evidence of homeless dwellings...

    Review by nelsofthewoods in course Mad River Pump Station #4

    3.50 star(s) enjoyable -Not much brush to lose a disc in -I haven't seen it get overly busy. -About a medium difficulty. A beginner and an expert can both enjoy a round here. -For a 9-hole course it offers a surprisingly diverse range of shots. -Gets muddy in places, so bring good shoes. -Some tees are near...

    Review by nelsofthewoods in course Steelhead DGC @ Creekside

    4.00 star(s) I certainly enjoyed it. -Secluded. When I played I was the only person in the park. Didn't even see another vehicle until I was leaving. -Near the 299, great stop if you are traversing between Arcata and Redding. The course in Weaverville is also good. -Blackberry bushes. Also rumors of poison...

    Review by nelsofthewoods in course Manila Bay DGC

    3.00 star(s) Decent, enjoyable -Nice location. It is near the beach, good views of the bay, and not too far from other courses. -Not very easy to lose a disc, though certainly possible. -Like everyone says, hole 9 has a bile-reminiscent water hazard -stagnant water with weird algae maybe?- anyways it's...

    Review by nelsofthewoods in course Squirrel Creek DGC

    4.00 star(s) worth your time -Very technical course, requires lots of different shots. -Friendly people, very mellow course. Also it's out of the valley heat! -Well maintained and alternate pin positions to keep it interesting. -Tight fairways. Expect to hit a couple trees as it is dense. Might not be a con...

    Review by nelsofthewoods in course Rocklin DGC

    3.50 star(s) It's a swell time. -Great layout, easy to navigate. -Nice design, no short filler holes. -Well maintained. -Open, hard to lose a disc here. -Pro Shop on-site -Fair amount of traffic, don't expect to play it quickly. Though in full disclosure I'm used to more rural courses and would assume it's...

    3.00 star(s) for the kids -nice baskets, unique fake arrows on the 8th hole -easy access, located in a nice park -perfect for kids/beginners -busy -short -flat It's by all means a kids course. As such, it is a great resource for beginners and folks looking to shore up their short game. Also a good place to...

    Review by nelsofthewoods in course Black Butte Lake DGC

    4.50 star(s) A favorite. -Secluded and beautiful. -Lots of elevation changes. -Constantly challenging. -Discatcher baskets, rubber tees. -I imagine it gets overgrown and hot in the summer. -Unfortunate rollers going down the hills can be frustrating. -Somebody told me that it's nearly impossible to play when...

    Review by nelsofthewoods in course Peregrine Point

    4.00 star(s) -Great baskets, cement teepads, excellent signage. -Lots of varied holes, from the technical to the distance ones. -If you lose a disc, you LOSE a disc! -Lots of rocks age your discs quickly. One of the most beautiful courses around. Holes 3 and 4 require some confident shots as you are on the...

    Review by nelsofthewoods in course Riverbend Park - North

    2.00 star(s) Eh... -Easy to find. -Decent baskets, concrete teepads. -Trash on course (see other thoughts). -Like any north valley course, it gets HOT in the summer. A few holes had a bit more trash than I'm used to seeing. Suppose it could have been an anomaly, but some of it like broken glass mixed into...

    Review by nelsofthewoods in course Greenway DGC

    3.00 star(s) Good beginner course. -Fairways are routinely mowed. -Hole distances vary. -Open holes, clearly marked, easy to navigate. -Pedestrians on the path get in the way a lot. -9 hole course plays quickly, you finish as soon as you get warmed up. -1st hole and 9th hole are on nearly opposite ends of...
