Lake Mendocino South
Pros: Nice 4'x8' cement tee pads on most holes. Basic post style signs next to tees with hole number and distances to pin. Nice baskets with hole numbers. Lots of elevation change throughout the area. Multiple pin positions. Moderately to heavily wooded. Beautiful view of the lake near hole 2's basket, and great views of the mountains and lake in other spots on the course as well. Great scenery throughout. Well placed 'next tee' signs throughout the course where needed. Hole 4: 200' blind uphill shot. Hole 14: nice downhill tunnel shot forcing you to keep your disc low and straight. Hole 18: 350' slightly downhill shot over a deep ravine; need to throw about 325' to safely clear it. After hole 5 and until hole 16 the course feels very secluded. Low traffic. Fairly easy to navigate. There is an old car door by 11's tee; looks like it's from the 50's (kinda cool). All holes are birdie-able but the rough is very thick in spots and bad shots can be hard to recover from. Hole 5's basket is pretty close to 14's tee so you could play a quicker round by skipping 6-13. Restrooms on site. There is a sign for the disc golf course on the road. A few garbage cans scattered throughout the course. Clean, well maintained course.
Cons: A lot of holes play pretty flat despite the elevation change in the area. The course could use a couple more next tee signs around holes 6-14. There are a few longer walks between holes. Rubber tee and only one pin position on hole 6. Hole 7's sign is broken and laying on the ground next to the tee. Holes 13&16's signs are missing. Most holes seemed to favor LHBH/RHFH with late right turns required (at least in the positions when I played). Only holes 13&17 turned left.
Other Thoughts: The thick trees on this course catch discs pretty well so keep your shots low when possible. Heavy gusts of wind come through often but inconsistently as well; use spotters if possible. The hills can make for long random rollers too. There is an old barbed-wire fence about knee high to the left and in front of the basket on hole 18, so if you come up short left, be careful. This is a very fun course and I enjoyed playing it very much. Moderately challenging. The views and scenery are great and there is surprisingly low traffic on the course. I saw one car that had just arrived as I was leaving with 2 disc golfers; other than that I was the only one at the course mid-afternoon on a Friday. The course could use a little TLC in a few spots and with a few tweaks here and there I would rate it a 3.5. Very nice course and I would recommend it and the North course if you've never played (play the North first though).

-Fun tunnels
-Not very crowded
-Easy off and on to 101

Cons: -No tee signs

Other Thoughts: A very fun course built on the same model of Stafford Lake and Highland Springs. A good course that will challenge long time players but also short enough for new players with good risk and reward shots. The course was easy to navigate and pretty empty even on weekends and easy to got to from highway 101. If in the area or driving through its worth the stop.

Challenging and fun
Pros: Very cool location with great views. Ups and downs, left and rights....a little of everything. Good risk=reward shots.
Cons: Some pins are tough to locate without a stroll down the fairway, and at one point I couldn't figure out which way the fairway was off the tee pad. I found my away around all by myself though, so it's ok.

Cons: - most of the tee pads are too close to the pins of the previous hole, which in many cases are also blind...a potential safety hazard
- short. Bring your putter for many of the drives.

Other Thoughts: I really enjoyed this little gem of a course. It was super fun and despite the short distances on most of the holes, the trees and elevation changes more than make it challenging. Lots of potential roll aways and tree blockage. Nice little spot!

Pros:
-great elevation changes.
-this course is set on a lot of land, so it would flow nice even if it was busy
-it wasn't busy... we played on an overcast sat and on sun, but i don't remember seeing more than 2 other groups. easy to navigate with signs directing you and well beaten paths
-low ground cover that won't soak you legs when wet.
-many pretty long holes that are hard to get to in 2. hardly any straight fairways at all.

Cons:
-some baskets are set on slopes that can turn a good shot into a 100ft roller, so that seemed a bit overdone
-some holes seemed too protected. such small windows off the drive that i'd basically just throw and hope...
-pretty easy to lose discs in that you drive blindly to places with big drop offs. a couple times we ended up searching for discs having no idea where it could be... that can be a buzz kill.
-some crackhead bitch screaming at the bushes
-lots of garbage even though there were several trash cans.

Other Thoughts:
-there was quite a bit of poison oak.
-the parking lot is next to some bathrooms (that don't have soap) and seems like a good place to chill out after a round. The park, not the bathrooms.
-I imagine that people who like the difficulty level of DeLaveaga will like this course. its a bit out of my skill range, but I throw 300 max backhand. Most of this course reminds me of the forested shots at DeLa...
Jaco's Tacos on N State Street in Ukiah was seriously some of the best mexican food i've had. This isn't some BS ad for them. It was GOOD.

good times at the lake 
Pros: -Good Variety of lefts and rights
-Maps and score cards available at first tee
-Great views of the lake, though not close enough to loose a disc in there.
-Elevation Change.
-Rubber teepads in good condition.
-Baskets are in good condition

Cons: -Poison Oak can be a bit thick in spots
-Long walks from one hole to another in a couple spots
-Tee Signs only tell length, not direction, or pin position, so a couple of holes you need to walk it out on your first time through.
-Some holes have a steep drop off neer them or thick bushes, that you can loose a disc down if your not carefull

Other Thoughts: Overall a fun course, but if you get PO make sure to wear long pants and long sleeves. Definatly some fun holes, Hole 18 sticks out in my mind as a signature hole, but it does have a bit of a walk from hole 17.

Course with a view
Pros: The course is fun, fairly wooded and slightly hilly making for a little challenge. The fairways are a little tight so it requires more aim than strength. The maps are vary helpful and the course is marked.
Cons: There is a few shots near a steep edge down below, be mindful of this. The holes are kind of short so, you can birdy if your drive is aimed correctly.
Other Thoughts: You can hear the water sports going on down on the lake, it is an awesome place to check out.

Pros: beautiful course, long and short shots make for good variety. near the lake, but you have to be throwing with a huge, huge arm and the wrong direction off the tee to come anywhere near the lake.
Cons: A few blind holes that are poorly placed, the tight shots are really tight. Some shots have only one realistic window, makes for monotonous holes if you play the course more than once or twice. very technical, hard for the pros, miserable for beginners trying to do anything more than go for a hike.
Other Thoughts: I try to play this one every chance I get in order to get better at it. The weeklys here have been won with 1 and 2 over par lately, and we've got an innova sponsered player locally. It's rough, but it's fun.
