Long time user, first time reviewer so bear with me as I ramble. I just wanted to point out how great my experience was here at this course and shop. we pulled into the parking lot and there was a building with disc golf banners everywhere. We walked around to the other side and sure enough theres a disc golf pro shop and boy do they have discs. I think they have discs from every manufacturer on earth, many I've never seen before. I've been to Infinite Discs in Logan, Ut and I know they carry most of these discs on their website but in their actual shop they only had the most basic brands. Here I was able to touch and feel and touch every disc and they have an area and basket where you can throw them. Its really amazing.
Also, and I can't stress this enough, they have a COFFEE BAR!! This should be a prerequisite at every course, where you can pick up a cup of joe to start your round. My son had hot chocolate and marshmallows, freaking awesome.
So onto the course, I know that's what most people want to hear about. I loved this course but I could see where some people would have a problem. This course is going to call out the flaws in your game. The previous review mentioned the basket on the ridge, I throw left handed and it was a simple toss for me, and my buddy thows a flick so he had no trouble at all but my son who only throws rhbh had a hell of a time with the hole cause you can basically only go left. There is also some super long holes like 500+ feet and still par3 and I get most people aren't getting these holes in par let alone birdie.
I love wooded holes, so when this course goes into the woods that's my favorite part, but theres a lot of people who like the wide open golf shots, so I can see where they might have a problem with these holes. Conversely there are 4 or 5 wide open long bomber holes where if you only like technical wooded golf your not going to like these holes and these holes are loooong when deep.
Personally I love the fact that this course has a little bit of something for everybody, but to each his own.

no real cons that I see. I know others have said that the walk a ¼ from the proshop to the course, but Jesus people, how lazy are you

I love this place, spent almost an hour going through all the discs at the proshop and having lunch. I had an angus cheeseburger, chips, and Raspberry Tea. My son had a spicy chicken sandwich, chips, and coke. My buddy had a BBQ Rib sandwich, some jerky and candy, and an energy drink. Did I mention this place has food this little tiny shop has it all. I love this place.

*lovely setting
*Great tee-pads and baskets
*Good signage
*Pro shop on site
*The folks running the course are friendly and supportive
*bag hangers are cool

(Full disclosure... I had a terrible day today,)

*baskets can be placed in ridiculous spots (for example, 8th basket was on a ridge, I missed the uphill putt and the disc rolled down the other side to OB)... a lot of luck needed to score sometimes. Lots of roll-away potential

* Most of the holes are crammed into a very small area in order to have a few long holes. That should've been reconsidered.

The 1/4 mile walk to to the course is flat, on a perfectly manicured decomposed granite trail. If this is what bugging you... not sure what to say.

I may have to go back to see if my cons are legit or if I'm just influenced by my lousy day out there.

Update 11/2/22

I've played this course a few more times now as a (much) better player. While I'm still wondering about the choices made to cram so many holes in the back part of the course, I'm not so miffed about the basket placement. I've never had to redeem myself on 8 with the basket at the top of a small levee, but the other roll-aways (the dew!) were just stupidly unlucky that first day. The course is definitely growing on me. I'm playing a tag round this weekend and maybe I'll post something else.

18 Prodigy T2 baskets make up the course.
18 Prodigy Turfpads make up the tees.
18 Benches and Bagholders at every hole.
Fantastic teesigns at every hole. Fantastic signage throughout the course.
Proshop on site with lots of discs, and plenty of foods and drinks.
Lots of different types of holes for different people.

There is a little bit of a walk to hole 1 from the parking lot and proshop. I know this can be difficult for some people. Some of the hill and rocky terrain can be difficult for carts and some people to climb and walk on. We have constructed trails and paths to make it as easy as possible but it can still be difficult for some people.
Some of the holes are really long and can be really difficult for some people.
There can be some waiting on holes especially hole 1 as the course gets a lot of traffic.

We do our best to offer a course that gives the most variety of holes for the most players. I am always sorry if the course isn't for everyone or doesn't meet your specific needs. If you have any concerns or suggestions, please stop by the proshop to discuss any questions or concerns that you may have.about the course.

Tee area: 6'x12' astrocarpet atop frame. Benches. Tee Signs. Bag Holders.

Bold orange baskets with flags atop.

Holes 3-14 (twelve in total, 2/3rds of the course) are in a footprint suitable for four decent-sized holes, or eight short holes. To say that these twelve holes play atop one another is an understatement - your vocal cords will be tested more than your approach game.

Over 1/4+mile walk from parking to tee=1. Just under 1/2-mile walk from basket=18 to parking.

Three(!) artificially raised baskets.

Course is set at the back of a local park, on the far side of a small lake/large pond, surrounded by homes, and their fencelines. It is almost entirely flat, with a small slope being (overly) shared by holes 7-12.

The first two, and last four, holes are flat, relatively long, and primarily open. On some of these, too much griplock early or too much fade late may clear a fence, finding one either wet, in someone's lawn. Fairway #16 is tall grass supported by even taller bushes, and hole #17 presents an early triple mando.

Holes 3-6, 13-14 intimately share a flat space containing scattered trees. Holes 7-12 share an open slope supported by a few trees and a mini-ridge. An (only slightly) errant drive from top-of-slope tee=12 could reach several different holes. The baskets were set in their short positions the day I played - I can't fathom the overlaps with even farther positions.

Can one have fun here? Certainly, but for me, it is bag-n-go.

- Beautiful scenery along the lake and heavily wooded holes
- Large shot variety. You won't get by only throwing RHBH throws that fade left.
- Options of lines on almost all holes. Every time I play with someone new, they find a line that I hadn't even considered yet!

- Blackberries are pokey... That said, the "danger" of them adds to the fun of the course.

Cameron Park's first 18 Hole course is a nice addition to area and will certainly help alleviate the giant crowds at the surrounding courses. The course is located behind Cameron Park in the wildlife area between the lake and Cameron AirPark Estates. Let's get into the list of Pro's!

*18 Prodigy T1 Baskets
*Wide & Level Turf Teepads
*Tee Signs w/ Distance & Placements
*Bag Holders & Benches on each hole
*Multiple Pins Placements
*Amateur Tee's on some longer holes
*Safety nets for overlapping Holes/Fairways (See Cons)
*Course is separated from the general population of the Park Goers, have to walk through a gate to access Hole 1.

The biggest issue with the course was the amount of land they had to use and how the designers chose to use it. Holes 2, 15-18 all use about 50% of the entire course for 5 holes?
Granted, all the work that has been done is very admirable and amazing! So much appreciated for getting the course installed.
However, to be fair to the course review... Onto the Cons:

-Teepads & Baskets very close to each other. (3 Teepads within 20 feet of each other) I'm not sure how this plays during a tournament/weekly/busy day.
-Poison Oak, you can tell they are attempting to eradicate it, but it's fighting back with a vengeance and popping up in multiple spots.
-No Pin Placement indicators on Tee Signs (I looked and looked... fill me in if I'm blind)

The walk to the course is right up there with Stafford Lake or Napa. But at least at Stafford there are a couple practice Holes to throw along the way. The park itself tends to be pretty packed and can only imagine how many people patronize the park in the summertime. However the Disc Golf course only had one other group playing.
Overall, is this a championship caliber course? Not by any means!
Is it a fun course to play to break up the monotony of Shady Oaks being the only 18 Hole Course is Sacramento? YES!

We finally have a decent course with easy freeway access on the 50 side of things, no more drives to Rocklin and Shady to get in a round. This is the first "real" course to go into the Sacramento area in a long time, since basically Rocklin in the 90's, a lot of sad 9's but no real 18's and it is fantastic. After walking from the parking lot and pro-shop you arrive at a single orange basket on the side of the lake and in front of huge chain fence. It is the practice basket and it has like these concrete markers pacing off distances. Its really cool. Hole 1 is a huge 400+ foot throw down a fairway with the side of the dam on one side and a row of houses on the other, to a basket strategically parked under a low hanging giant oak tree. Its just a great throw with a tree right off the pad taking away the hyzer and adding even more difficulty to the shot. You need to stay right and have it fade left under the tree a tough challenge with the way the shot is shaped. I promptly threw might up over the dam and into the lake for my first shot not my finest shot. You then walk around the corner of the dam to...
Hole 2 is another 400+ shot that plays down the access road (there is no traffic on this road) into a tunnel formed by thick berries on the right and the side of the dam on the left. It is really tough to throw this far down hill and not have it fade too far into the berries, which is where i threw my first drive. Once you hole out you keep walking down the side of the dam till you come to...
Hole 3 is the first of the shorter, more wooded technical holes that play under a huge oak canopy. These holes play back and forth and have a huge amount of variety from downhill ace runs to uphill under neath low ceiling trees, and as for shot selection, there are so many options available it really is a joy to behold.
Hole 3 is a short dogleg hole with a mando right to a basket perched up on a hill under another huge oak. It really is pretty out here.
Hole 4 is a straight shot maybe 300 feet to a basket with a fairway lined with big oaks.
Hole 5 is another shot under these big oaks to an island(really peninsula green) that is difficult to hit just right.
This course will teach you to keep your drives low.
Hole 6 is a short maybe 200 foot hole across the corner of what the locals have dubbed "Berry Lake," a thick blackberry patch that eats discs. It is only 150 feet across from the tee but it does get in your head, and if you absolutely don't have the stomach you can always choose to go around the corner and bailout.
Hole 7 is an uphill shot to the top of the dam with a big oak ready to knock your discs down at every turn. Again a variety of shots to be had here, but I think my favorite is riding the dam fence to the basket.
Hole 8 is a touch downhill shot where you stand on top of the dam and throw down the ridge line of the creek to basket on the ridge itself. There is a right side with OB all the way and a more open left side that will leave you with a death putt just for kicks. Oh and did i mention the creek wraps round the basket if you overthrow. A really tough hole that can be very troublesome.
Hole 9 is another tricky shot up and over a hill to a sunken basket underneath more oaks.
Hole 10 is I think one of the easiest holes to get, with just one tree on the right to really avoid and a dead tree on the left.
Hole 11 is a super tricky 200+ uphill hole to a basket under a huge tree with low limbs that knocks down everything coming in and requiring you to putt 40 feet for even a chance at birdie, this is one hole I still haven't quite figured out what the best line is, although again there are plenty to choose from.
Hole 12 is another super fun downhill finesse down a oak tree lined fairway to a basket tucked in between two jut outs. A really fun and tricky hole.
Hole 13 is a long hole requiring you to throw left and fade right and even the best throw is going to end up with a death putt to finish as the basket is perched up on a cliff with the creek lurking just behind.
Hole 14 is a beautiful shot over the creek with the creek framing the entire right side of the fairway to a basket set up on a rock outcropping. A really picturesque hole.
Hole 15 starts with you throwing down a blackberry tunnel at least 200 feet to get out of the tunnel and then another 300 feet in the open to reach the basket. The tee is framed by blackberries and trees into a kind of triple mando that really forces the long straight shot just to get you out.
Hole 16 is the reverse of Hole 15. It has you start out in the open under a big oak and throw back into a blackberry pocket, and the fairway is lined with large shrubs although the entire left side has been cleared but there is a mando on the left to keep you from hole 17s fairway but it would be quite the shank. After 17 you come out of the blackberry thicket to throw a long 450+ foot tunnel shot with the creek running the right side and a long line of decorative airfield windsocks forming a mando on the right. It really is the cosmetic touches that really make this course.
Hole 18 is a slight uphill ace run at an elevated basket that just begs to be aced. The tee is tucked next to the running creek and a triple mando is formed by the trees to perfectly frame your target for you. just absolutely cool.
We should talk about navigating these holes. It really is easy as they have these poles with bag hangers that are clearly marked and color coordinated throughout the entire course there is also signage in between all the holes to help you navigate.
There is so many great things about this course you need to just come play, there are a lot of decorative touches that really give the course life.
There are 18 of the sturdiest benches I think I have ever seen. There are 4x4s with poles with airfield windsocks lining the fairway complete with 100 foot markers letting you know how far you have thrown.

Bugs. There are these gnats that congregate near the lake and they seem to enjoy the practice area, who wouldn't. Luckily they don't really seem to hang out on the course.
This has the feel of a very compact course it is on kind of a peninsula that only has one way in and out and it makes this course feel closer together than in actually tends to be. The club has installed nets and screens to alleviate any problems that might arise though, but it does feel close sometimes. Their opening tournament had 90+ players on the course and seemed to go off without a hitch so it can handle the strain.
The pro-shop and snack-shop seems a little anemic, i get that they are just starting and don't really have a lot to offer yet, but with OTB and Final 9 looming nearby they are going to need to work on their a-game and right now their disc selection is not much.. Also kind of hard to tell when its going to be open since their are no hours posted, is this by appointment, or just hit or miss, who knows? As for snacks all they sell or are going to sell is prepackaged food, so don't come expecting to get a hamburger or hotdog here.
Par 4's. All of the holes are labeled Par 3's but i honestly feel some of them should rightly be Par 4s, especially Hole 1s farthest position up on the dam and hole 17's farthest down by the creek, and I think even 2, 15, and 16 would fit this bill as well, I don't see anyone being able to get a 2 on those holes, but I guess it doesn't matter as long as everybody plays the same course.
Airplanes. The course plays next to a private airfield so there are planes taking off all the time. These are small private planes not big jets with big engines, but it does disturb the tranquility.

I know a lot of people are going to see the 1/4 mile walk to the disc golf course as a con, but I don't. Its a beautiful flat 1/4 mile walk along the edge of a picturesque lake. It helps me get my mind together, and if you think a 1/4 mile hike is too far you might be in the wrong sport.
Of the courses I have played i think i would give the nod to DeLa and Golden Gate in terms of beauty and variety but there is a lot that those courses could learn from the perks and cosmetic touches from this course

This course has nice fake-grass tee-pads that are flat, firm and level. Excellent signage and bag hooks. Many holes are on the short side of things, but there are a couple longer ones toward the end. Nice variety of shots required. This course is more for those who like more technical challenges as compared to long distances. I'd call it a "finesse" course.

I will normally shoot a +5 over par on most area courses, but I shot +1 here on my first round, so I found it a bit on the easier side. Overall, very enjoyable.

It looks like a lot of poison oak was removed, but it is quickly growing back. There was a ton of 2" poison oak growth all over the place. As it grows, so will the problem.

As people use the course, the trails should get better. Right now the ground is pretty unforgiving in places if you are not watching your footwork carefully. I slightly rolled my ankle on one "fairway."

There are a lot of tees and baskets placed into a pretty small area. I can tell that lots of thought had to go into the layout. I played mid-week when it was pretty empty. Might get a little crazy on a busy day, with some tight placements of throwing lanes.

I want to thank the volunteers who provided funding, physical work, planning and advocating efforts that make this new course possible. We owe you greatly for what you have created for all of us to enjoy!

This is what a great disc golf course should be. Every amenity you can think of is here. There are long open holes and tight wooded holes. The course is completely disc golf exclusive and behind a gate and fence from the rest of the park. There is every shot imaginable here. This is a great course. There are flags on every basket, bag holders on every hole. Really nice artificial turf tees. There's windsocks on poles marking every 100 feet of the fairways. There's 18 awesome benches for every hole. There's a practice basket complete with a around the 9 game marked out with concrete pavers.. There's a proshop/snackshop at the beginning by the restrooms which will be open full time soon. Navigation is a breeze. Tee signs are fantastic. I don't know what else you could do to make a disc golf course. This course feels like a real golf course.

NONE

I'm calling BS on the first review, I literally played opening weekend, in the pouring rain no less, and was one of the first ten players to throw and came home just to be one of the first reviews only to find a review from two weeks before the course even opened. The course only just opened and it was behind a locked fence up until now and I know they were working on the course right up to the last minute, so there is no way someone could have reviewed the course. Either they climbed over the fence and played while the course was still being built or they simply looked at the course over the fence and decided this was a 3 either way BS. I noticed this same person reviewed the kiddie putt course down the street the same 3. So the course at a school with no hole over 200 is the same rating as a tournament level course with a pro shop and snack shop on site. BS. They actually had some of the top pros out playing this course and the course record is still only -6. This is a tough but fair course..

This is how you should construct a disc golf from scratch. That is, by having the funds to build a first class disc golf course. The tee pads are level on a green carpet. I didn't ask whether concrete is in the plans. At hole # 1 the bench is varnished! There are bag holders and benches at every hole. The tee signs are currently temporary but beautiful new ones are coming soon. The baskets are lovely, orange Prodigy models. There are some next tee signs where needed.

The first two holes play in a narrow area between the lake and the neighboring houses. Then starting with # 3, you play back into a partially wooded area. The course is not terribly long with four holes playing over 400'. But it is borderline tight in places and does have a few tricky, dangerous basket placements, where lurking just behind the basket is a nasty deep ditch just waiting on your unsuspecting disc. Twice, I just barely overthrew the basket and then found my disc either in the water or way down the embankment.

Members of my playing group really liked # 16 as a signature hole. It's 465' down kind of an S turn fairway and the basket is not visible until partway down the fairway.

I preferred # 14 with it's basket set up amongst the large boulders. It's shorter and easier than 16.

There aren't many cons to mention except for the one big one. There is just over a 1/4 mile trek to the first tee and when you finish # 18, getting back is even longer yet. That would be a long trek after a sizzling July round here.

On the wonderful basket position in the boulders on # 14 there are some scraggly little bushes sticking up as well as some poison oak. I would like to see these are cut or pulled.

Some benches aren't finished but heck, the course won't have its official opening until next Saturday with it's first tournament the day after.

I was fortunate enough to hook up with locals Brie, Jerome and Garret, who were all playing their inaugural round at Cameron. We were all pleased with the design, the challenge and basically, everything about the course. Congratulations to Jason and the rest of the local club for getting this course built.

I vacillated back and forth about my rating for Cameron DGC, 3.0 or 3.5. After playing through most of the course, I was leaning to the higher number but after taking the long walk back to my car, I reluctantly decided on the 3.0 rating. I think I might be a little low and bet this ends up being rated closer to 4.0 then my 3.0.
