Pros: What can I say. An incredible setting for a day disc golf. There are some absolute signature holes here, and plenty of ace runs (scored mine on #20). This course caters exactly to my desires for disc golf, wooded, 18 baskets (plus 9 tonals), removed from the city, and lots of variety and creative holes. You'll want to make a weekend out of your trip to Pender.

Cons: While I love this course, I have to be honest. It is short. A little more length would make it perfect.
The locals are awesome friendly people who are always looking for some outside competition, but they tend to play in very large groups. That being said they're very good about letting faster groups play through.

Other Thoughts: I personally would take out the tonal 9 and make an epic 5 star 18 hole course, but apparently there's too much history invested in those tonals for that to even be considered by the guardians of the course. They're fun to play regardless, I just tend to discriminate against tonals. If you're like me you'll still find 18 awesome baskets here.
Have fun!

Pros: Tight and technical, tricky but achievable aces. Gorgeous heavily treed and rocky park setting, well maintained on 10 acres, the "first" 9 pins have been the same for 30yrs, the other 18 are baskets. Friendly locals, clubhouse, practice baskets. The signature hole is #27, a basket well guarded in the middle of arbutus 250' out with 35' elevation on a hillside.

Cons: Teepads are dirt or compacted dirt and too short for runups. All the rocks are hard on DX discs, you only need a driver for 4 or so holes, it was originally designed for Wham-O's. Outhouse without running water.

Other Thoughts: The tournament at the end of May every year is one of the better attended casual tournaments on the westcoast (220+) Glen Whitlock is a regular. Sunday random mixed doubles 10am bring $5, BYOB.

Pros: Great wooded setting with interesting rock formations, arbutus trees, and challenging terrain. All three nine-hole sections start and end near the clubhouse. Friendly and talented local players. Wide variety of tight technical holes to challenge your mid to short game, with a few longer holes thrown in to the mix. Ace-run heaven. Lots of benches and garbage cans, and parking never seems to be a problem. Good campsite nearby, discs for sale on island. It never rains on Pender.

Cons: If you don't like shorter technical courses, this may not be your cup of tea. More of an old school 'classic' design. Put away your big drivers. Also, mix of baskets and tonals may put some people off (I personally like the variety).

Other Thoughts: This is one of the oldest courses in B.C., and has inspired many people to embrace the sport, great introductory course. One trip to Pender and chances are you will be hooked on disc golf for life. An annual pilgrimage to Golf Island is a must in these here parts...
