 Disc Golf in Humboldt County

Pros: The area is beautiful, especially the back 9. The players are friendly. This has the potential to be an amazing course to play, if LOTS of work were put into it.
Cons: There was only one map of where a tee was supposed to be, but when I looked for it, nothing was there. The 'course' is also a bike/hiking trail. Every person I asked about course information had varied information after hole three. 4 of 18 holes do not have baskets. In winter the 'tees' are simply mud flats. What you may think is a sign for the next tee, is more than likely a hiking trail sign. None of the holes have a fairway, you play from where you think the tee is and where you think the basket might be.
Other Thoughts: Overall this course is terrible. The most knowledgeable player I talked with said the tees are marked with what looks like a small white bristle brush stuck in the ground. If you are in the mood for a gorgeous hike, smoking pot, friendly conversation and a small chance of playing disc golf this is your course. Aside from that steer clear of HSU's disc golf course!

 Redwood madness

Pros: It was a gorgeous course in cool ass town. Really technical shots and elevation changes were awesome.On hole 2 you get to climb the side of this massive redwood stump and tee off from the top of it like 10 ft off the ground. Sweet shot. Also, I liked hole 18 "Highway to Hell", I think the locals said.
Cons: Could be confusing playing by yourself the first time, and the gong setup wasnt my bag. Easy to lose your discs on some holes
Other Thoughts: I was on a road trip and was traveling thru, and just happened to catch a Sunday Doubles tourney. Great people to play with.

Pros: High hikiing trails through the woods with excellent views. Easy to find your discs and decent fairways.
Cons: This course could use a map and markers to help you figure it out. You can easily get lost or shoot at the wrong pins. The shots are a short and straight so be prepaired.
Other Thoughts: The locals are very friendly and informative, always a plus.

 Forest Moon of Endor

Pros: Being from the east coast playing a redwoods course was a real treat. Giant trees aside, the course offered many throwing challenges and a wide variety of holes, a couple over water. Large ferns and other plants were fun too and the joke of the day was we were playing on the forest moon of Endor. Also, love the tone poles. A very unique course.
Cons: Course was a little hard to navigate but well worth the time to figure out. A map at the bulletin board could be a huge improvement.
Other Thoughts: Teeing off from on top a huge redwood stump was fantastic. Also the locals we met on the course we a lot of fun. "Welcome to Humbolt County"

Pros: One of the most beautiful courses in the world.
Giant Redwoods towering over your head
A fun and challenging course for all.
Lots of different shots will test every throw in your bag.
Lefty and Righty fair
Lots of elevation change.
Many very unique holes that you can't play anywhere else in the world.
Some ace-able holes.
Teeing off of a giant stump on hole 2 is one of the coolest things ever.
Lots of cool people that play here.
Nice new handmade wooden tee signs.
Baskets on every hole now.
Multiple pin positions on most holes
Cons: Some beginners will feel overwhelmed.
Bad shots can put you into very bad places.
*Lots of ferns to eat your discs (the ferns add a lot to scenery)
Tee boxes get a little muddy in winter.
Parking can be a pain in the @$$ when the RSL lot isn't open for parking and HSU is in session.
Trash on the course is a real drag when you're on such a beautiful course.
Other Thoughts: A guide is a must for your first couple of rounds.
Pack your own water and food.
PACK OUT WHAT YOU PACK IN!!
Hole 18, "Stairway to Hell", is a tightly wooded throw over a canyon that is an epic hole.

Edit. Work party on 12/04/10. We got new tee signs on all the holes as well as 2 new baskets on holes 9 (G-Curve) and 10 (Alder Slash), with 2 pin placements on 10. We also cleaned up a larger green on hole 8 (Tunnel Vision), put redwood bark paths in on 8 and 9, put down a hand shredded redwood bark tee pad on hole 7 (Don't Fret), and a wider tee box on hole 18 (Stairway to Hell).

Edit 2012: Baskets now on every hole, with multiple pin positions on most holes. Also tee pads have been further improved and are quite nice now.
