(2.351 Rating) A two tee park style nine with a nice water clear finish.
- AMENITIES - Compared to nearby Quilchena, Little mountain has better amenities. First off, two tees and both are concrete. MachX baskets, not my favorite, but better than the average basket. Course map posted near tee (4). I also spotted four extra baskets just north of the layout. I got to believe that if I had found some locals to throw with on this nice morning, that there were extra unmarked holes in that area.
- SKILL LEVEL FRIENDLY - Due to the two tee element noted above, Little mountain should be an ideal fit for many players. The shorts seemed to fit the MA4 level game, while the backs seemed best fit for MA2s and MA3s with a 300 foot arm. With the exception of hole (9), the course is beginner friendly.
- QUICK PLAY - Whether one elects to just play nine or both sets of tees for 18, the round should not take that long. I finished 9 holes in 20 minutes.
- PHOTO OPPORTUNITY - Anyone who likes to take cityscape photos, needs to take a detour to the center of this park. Adjacent the restaurant, Seasons in the Park, is a spot called "The Photo Session." It offers great views of the downtown area with the north mountains in the backdrop.

A 130 acre park with only 5 acres dedicated to disc golf.
- HOLE VARIETY - The diversity in the play types here is not the greatest. The course is 100 percent parkstyle with less than 30 feet of elevation change along the entire layout. Spotty tree coverage is present on almost every hole. Players just need to dodge one or two trees on most holes and the margin of error is mostly generous. The one curveball the course has is hole (9), which is a nice gut checking water clear.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - Queen Elizibeth Park as a whole is a gem of a park. However, the small little corner that the course is in, is the blandest part of the park that I laid eyes on. Lots of medium age trees that just didn't wow me like at other parks I visited on my Pacific Northwest trip. I scored this aspect a touch below average. Hole (9) was the best looking of the bunch in my opinion and the park was well maintained.
- TEE SIGNAGE - No tee signage other than a flush imprinted number on each pad.
- PARKING - Street parking only. There are bike racks by hole (4).

Of the 3 Vancouver courses I played near downtown, this was my favorite. Barely one-upping Quilchena on my ledger and significantly superior to Eastview. I also attempted to throw Jerico, but bailed after driving by seeing no parking and that school was about to start. For those here on vacation or business looking to throw at least once, I'd say this one is definitely worth considering. It appears that more players have played this course than any other course near downtown Vancouver. Of the Pacific northwest courses I've played, which is only 20, it reminded me most of Vance Park near Portland Oregon. Other similar courses I've played include Porter Park near Dallas, Murray Park in Ripon Wisconsin, Purdue University DGC in Indiana and Payne Park near Sarasota Florida. I think I've scored all of these noted courses between a 2.0 and 2.5.

Really nice tee pads. Although there are 18 holes and only 9 baskets, the tee pads are different shapes for the front and back nines which is a nice touch.

Well maintained course, park seems pretty quiet relative to other DG parks in the city. Little bit of elevation, not just a flat park.

Mix of distances, though course was definitely on the short side. No real open shots to really rip drives, but a few tough longer holes where you have to drive under the tree canopy.

Awesome, forgiving baskets, not sure the make/model but they were really nice.

Water hole is interesting, especially from the 18th tee, has a bit of that "I dare you to go for the basket" feel.

Some will find the overall length too short.

It's still a city park that has non disc golfers that you have to wait on or that are having picnics in the fairways etc.

Some holes a little too close for comfort. Because of the shorter length, however, danger to the public isn't as great as it is at the Quinchela park course ten minutes away.

Not really a destination course, but more enjoyable than I had expected. If I'm back playing in this area I would play this course over the Quinchela course close by due to the fact that hitting people/going OB onto roads isn't as much of an issue.

Open and easy to play. Tees are well marked and there is a map at the practice baskets. Few trees add some difficulty but overall it's good for beginners if you skip the holes that go over the pond. Can be played in an alternative way for 18 holes.

Didn't feel like risking a disc and skipped the holes over the water even though they are doable if you are confident with your driver.

Set in a well-groomed, popular park, Little Mountain DGC is western Vancouver's oldest, most popular course. The course plays in its own little section of the park, and seems to do a good job avoiding conflict with non-disc golfing park goers.

For a 9 hole public park course tending towards shorter hole lengths, there's a good bit of variety present: fairways across sloping hills (a Vancouver standard, it seems), uphill and downhill (8!) shots, some low ceilings, some varied lines (uphill RHFH hyzer on 3), some OB (fence on 2, with discs being easily retrievable if a bit awkward owing to the golf course present), and even an over-the-water hyzer to close things out, with enough trees present along the fairway or guarding the pin to make things interesting. Although the holes are often short, throwaways are largely avoided. Besides a longer hole or two, you couldn't ask for much more in the variety department given the setting.

Each hole has two sets of concrete tees. Baskets are solid and get the job done.

Course is conveniently nearby two others (Quilchena and Jericho Hill), making it easy to hit all three in the span of an afternoon.

While Little Mountain DGC makes great use of the available land, there's only so much that that land can offer. Shot shaping is maximized but still lacking in overall challenge factor: shooting under 27 from either tee would not be that difficult. The holes themselves don't have much wow factor, although that's nobody's fault: it's a city park course.

The course is in a fairly tight space, and the longer tees feel squeezed in. My guess is that they were put in after the shorts, owing to their different appearance and sense of being simply as far behind the short tees as they can be given the available space; other than adding a little distance, they don't seem to offer much.

The short tees are weirdly hexagonal, allowing more space than usual when moving from left to right but are too short, for my comfort anyway, front to back. There aren't any big drives here so a long run up isn't essential, but I did feel a little constrained on the hexagons.

There are no tee signs or indications of distance. Short tees have a hole number embedded into them.

Little Mountain seems to be the most popular course with the locals. Because of how small it is, it can crowd easily. With 4-5 groups on the course it seems crowded. On weekends I can imagine it being packed.

The grass around some of the pins was worn away on my visit, so that a rainy day can result in a mudpit. Living in New Orleans, I'm no stranger to muddy, soggy courses, but I've never seen the kind of quagmire that surrounded a few of the pins at Little Mountain. Not a huge deal, but if it's rained, be prepared to get dirty.

No alt pin positions. No readily-accessible facilities in the disc golf area of the park.

Little Mountain was my second favorite of the three western Vancouver courses I played on my visit. I preferred Quilchena's greater variety, particularly in terms of whole length (although there are some more technically challenging shots there, too). However, as that course has the potential to get overrun by non-disc golf park goers, I can see why heading to Little Mountain might be preferred. The two courses are close enough and short enough that you can easily hit both, or try one and then head to the other if needed.

On my visit we played the short tees 1-9, then played backwards, skipping a hole (so 9's tee to 7's basket, 8's tee to 6's basket, etc). This made for a fun safari course with lots of interesting shots. On a busy day this isn't doable, but keep it in mind as a way to get 18 holes in if the course is quiet enough.

Thanks to JedV for being a gracious host on my visit!

Fantastic Tee Pads and baskets. Full set of back pads as well make for a challenging back 9, with two really cool water shots.

Good use of the area, with a good variety of shots for a par 3.

Easy location as well at Queen Elizabeth Park, and a great shop for all your discs and such right around the corner called Abbies.

Lots of friendly locals (who are also great to watch as they play all sorts of alternates here).

There are two warm up baskets as well, a wide open spot for your warm up if you like.

Popular park. Can be very busy sometimes. Walkers sometimes have no clue they are even on a Frisbee course.
Be prepared to have groups playing in front and behind you during peak times.

The course is on a slope, and the bottom of the slope can get wet during rainfall/rain season.

The course is fairly wide open, with just a few trees, so it's a great spot to keep track of your discs, and for beginners to not get frustrated.
The back pads play tough, and a couple of fairly difficult water shots should keep the more experienced players happy here.
The sport shop "Abbies" has a lost and found for discs as well, so if you hit the pond, don't be afraid to drop by the shop and see if your disc has shown up.
Also, this course is quite close to Quilchena, so its a great chance to play two courses in one afternoon.

Great short hole course in a beautiful park, always busy on nice days. a must play for me every time i am in Vancouver. One of the best uses of space i have seen for a course. 9 baskets and 18 concrete tee pads are all top notch. Elevation changes and lots of mature trees force a really great variety of shots for such a short course. There is no rough, but a water hazard and some O.B. can make it interesting. There are also many alternate courses here. ask a local and you can get a sheet that has them all written down. This gives this course almost endless variety. Love it!

wait times for tees, or pedestrians sometimes due to high use.

This is mostly, a beginner/intermediate course, but it is a fun, quick play.

Great course to fit in a quick 9 or 18. Wonderfully poured concrete tee pads. Real baskets on each hole. Hole 4 & 8 have great elevation loss shots from the tee pads.

I didn't leave this course with a magical feeling. It was simply a "I have 20min to get in a bit of tossing in so this'll do."
I don't mind short courses. My hometown course (Cornwall Park, Bellingham, WA) is a short 9-holer as well, but I would have loved to see a bit more variety that challenges the way you have to play.
The water hazard on hole 9 is the only "holy shit" moment that gets the pulse racing. Other than that the course is a bit pedestrian.
A big qualm I had was that the baskets are extremely close to the next hole's tee pads. Way too many opportunities to hit the people playing in front of you. Poor layout in that aspect. There were too many times that I had to wait for the group in front of me to tee off, then walk half their hole just so I could begin to tee off on my hole for fear of hitting them with my tee shot.

Again, a great way to fit in a bit of tossing if you have 20min to kill. Not a destination course or a must play. I was visiting a friend in the city and wanted to check out the local courses, and this one was on the list. Now it's off it.

This is a well set up little course on the lower slopes of Queen Elizabeth Park. There is a nice variety of hyzer and anhyzer holes and the baskets are well placed to use the trees, and mountain slope. There are two tee sets. the rectangular ones are farther with the octagons being shorter. Either offers good footing. I played on a rainy day, and there was no issue with tee shots. There was a good fun factor with most holes birdieable while offering a moderate challenge. There were some low ceiling shots along with some nice line shaping along with straight forward throws. The last hole has a water shot, and it's definitely a nice basket position. The pond isn't too deep if you lose a disc. There was a guy walking around and pulling out discs while I was there.

The course is fairly short so you don't have much use for drivers. There are no signs on the holes. There is a course map, but it was hard to read. Really not much wrong here. It's a nice little course.

If you need discs, Abbies on 32nd and main has a good selection. Steve was very helpful. The first hole is between the duck pond and ball golf course. I loved the uphill and downhill. We don't get this much where I'm from. If I lived close, I would play this course frequently! Had a great time here.

Nice little niner course, good to learn on and can give you a fear of water. Plays good though. When they have the Abbies Open in April each year the course is expanded across the road of another 15 holes .... now these are incredible, great lines and views of Vancouver and the Mountains to die for. Just really really special. Best course in BC in my opinion. Super layout by MG.

Either short or long course both good, good, good.

Kind of Home of DG in B.C.

The course at Little Mountain is a fun, but average city park design which maintains the mostly shortish layout of many other area courses but makes up for it with a few more challenging par three holes and a nice over-the-water finishing hole.

Variety: Because of a nice hillside, some sparse trees, and a good water hazard, you'll get quite a bit of variety out of a round here. Most holes are quite short, but there is a nice low ceiling shot which requires a club up or a skip shot and a few longer lines from the pro tees which need a bit of pop. I threw mostly a mixture of putters with a fairway driver or two and even a roller.

Replayability: It is a little bit of a stretch, but I'd say that this course has a pretty good replay factor not because you could play from the permanent tees to baskets again and again but because Little Mountain makes for a really nice safari course. The hillside and sloping trees make for a great place to bring out an extra basket or two and make up some really fun holes which are a bit more challenging.

Busy: We played on the same day as several other area Vancouver courses and found this one by far the busiest of the bunch. Not only was the course overrun with golfers, but a group that may be a little lax on course etiquette. Several times we were thrown on by groups behind us (although we were waiting on tees for a group ahead) and because of the very close fairways also by players on other holes and heard no 'fore' to alert us to the errant disc. This could have been an artifact of our single visit to the course but nearby Jericho and Quilcena were nearly empty on the same day.

Challenge: While there are a couple of holes which either have the distance or a tricky line to shape, this course largely consists of straightforward putter shots to greens which are relatively unguarded. Most of the challenge to be found is in managing the very fast, skippy greens.

Overall, Little Mountain does have a few redeeming holes and also the option to make a few really nice safari holes but with the crowds, lack of real length, and quite a few filler holes, it fails to separate from the other similar area courses.

Well maintained course with some very cool shots. Good use of the hill it's on. The holes were reasonable distances and most were easily seen. Great place to learn how to play the sport too!

We had people just walking across the park so you have to wait for them. Also some holes and tee pads are right next to eachother so you may run the risk of hitting someone else.

Probably the best course I played while visiting Vancouver.

This is a great course, one of the best in Vancouver. 9 holes, and you can make it an 18 by playing the expert tee's last. Cool water hazard, some long holes.

It's a tight course, the holes are close to one another, and a couple holes run along the fence that separates you from the golf course.

Close to Abbies sports world, check this place out, ton's of discs here!

I can't believe Mundy Park gets a better rating than this park. I am reviewing in particular the pro tees here, which I think makes easily the best course in Vancouver, and arguably one of the tops in the lower mainland. A great variety of holes. Lots of Danger, ie. OB, Water, elevation and trees. Some beautiful views, and the ballpark is right next door. Catch a C's game after your round at beautiful Nat Bailey Stadium.

Its really tight, as in the holes are very close to one another, and can be a bit overly busy. Its very much city disc golf.

Abbie's Sports on main is awesome, great selection of discs and friendly knowledgeable staff. Main st. also sports a myriad of great pubs and restaurants for before or after your game.

Easy to find (GPS coordinates are off, but go by intersection), easy to park for free, well-marked tees.

Tiny. Barely par 3 on all holes. No maps, but to be honest you don't need one. Discs will frequently sail into the path of oncoming cars/pedestrians.

My wife and I played this course in passing; it took us 35 minutes for both of us to finish the front 9 from the octagon tees and another 15 for me to finish the back 9 from the rectangle tees. Very small course. I played the entire back 9 (basically, the same holes from the "advanced" tee) with my approach disc, as I overshot every single hole with my distance driver on the front 9; I still got under par. This park is definitely not for anyone over intermediate level. The difficulties come not from distance, but from accuracy - you have to keep your shots low enough to get under the branches, and not throw your discs onto the surrounding streets or onto the pitch 'n putt golf course next to the second hole. A couple of the holes are interesting (#9/#18 - shooting over a pond), but for the most part it's a very easy course.

Upgraded this to 2 discs, because it's not a bad course - just small, and very easy.

If you play here, take time to explore the rest of Queen Elizabeth Park. It's stunningly beautiful and immaculately maintained featuring spectacular views of the citie's skyline. The course is set in one small corner of the park. It has some scattered trees, slight elevation and one nasty looking pond to throw over. The unique feature is the two different shaped teepads: octagonial for 1-9 and then the regular rectangular shaped for 10-18. The octagonial ones don't allow much room for any run-up but you really don't need it here. I think this is a clever (and simple way) to distinguish between the two. I felt that # 9- # 18 over the pond was as close as this course comes to a signature hole here. It just might get your heart beating a little faster.

There is very little challenge here for anyone above the intermediate level. So that leaves it for what it is. It's a nice little throw in a city park. Good place to get in a practice round or introduce a newbie to our game. It was fairly crowded with groups but they were quick to let me play through. The pond is certainly hungry for discs and definitely gobbles it's share.

I'd hate to be a Canadian golfer with a big arm because there just aren't a lot of courses in the Vancouver area to show that arm off. I played five courses and all five would fall into the beginner/intermediate catagory. As Mr. Stengle mentioned in an earlier review, the course does seem kind of stuck here in this small corner of this large park. Even if they had incorporated the area where the practice baskets are, they could have helped.

This course has a nice setting on the side of a gradual slope in a huge park right in the middle of Vancouver. The slope is not quite as severe as the course at Jericho Hill but this course layout makes better use of the hill as it goes across the hill, up and down. The tee pads are always in great shape and there's two sets which makes the most out of the nine basket layout.

This is the most popular course in Vancouver but never gets too busy. I've never experienced anything more than a 5 minute wait and waiting at tees very uncommon. Because there are two sets of tees, the course caters well to beginners and intermediate players.

The course doesn't cater to advanced players. I have about a years worth of experience and recently played the long tees after taking a two week break from disc golf and shot even par from the back tees.

Some people might say the signature hole is #9 over the pond but I think it's a boring hole. None of the holes are particularly picturesque or force you to use different shots. From the short tees I exclusively use my putter on five holes.

The front and back tees are shaped differently which is nice as you can easily tell which to use however, the front tees are an octagonal shape and as a result are not long enough to allow a proper run up.

Hole #4 is a short downhill shot and its very easy to throw your disc onto Ontario Street. This is dangerous for pedestrians or people on bikes. I've actually seen someone hit a person riding a bike past the course.

Others have said the locals who play here are unfriendly. (See a review on the Langley Passive Park Reviews page) I disagree, I've run into the Q Club many times, they're great guys. They usually are playing a safari style game but they always allow those playing the proper layout to play through and are always appreciative of a good shot or putt.

This has been my home course for the last year and I've grown rather bored of it. I feel like I've out grown it and I want some more challenge. I'm not a big believer in playing safari golf, I would much prefer a course be tough and rewarding by design.

Other than disc golf, there's many other activities available in this park. There is a pitch and putt right next to the disc golf course. It costs about $10 plus club rentals if you need them. There's also a swanky restaurant at the top of the hill with spectacular views of downtown and to North Shore Mountains.

A nice open course that is easy to get to and excellent of beginners.

Course lacks difficulty and has a pond that consumes discs. Only 9 holes with a cop-out second set of tees behind the first ones.

This was the first course I ever played, and I've given up at least 6 discs to the water gods on hole 18 over the pond. I generally go into the pond after them as you can walk out with discs (on my best day 14 discs) from the pond, but rarely do you ever find your own. Course etiquette is to drop off discs with names and number at Abbie's, and anything un-labelled is a nice prize for the effort.

Atmosphere. Location.

Course is on the side of a hill, and forces you do finesse around trees.

Too compact. Needs more space. I dont care for double t pads. Just makes the back 9 longer. Seems odd to be standing on Tee 1 and have a disc sail directly over you.

If your disc does meet the pond, there is a nice young man that fishes out all that he can find. Come back the next day, kick in a few bucks and get your disc back!

What made QE Little Mountain good was its location and atmospere. Set in a beautiful park right next to a pitch and putt, this course has some elevation, water, and plenty of trees. Even though this course is short it makes great use of the land and does a nice job incorporating the obstacles. The tee pads are in great condition and are easy to figure out due to their distinct shapes (octogons are front, rectangles are back). The baskets are in good shape as well, and the map on the kiosk near tee 1/10 is clear and accurate. The course design seemed to flow, as the front and and back nine loop around to the start. Foliage and maintenance is apparent, with a bench and a water fountain near basket 4/13 and tee 5/14. Water comes in to play on holes 9, 10 and 18. If you are accurate and have a nice hyzer you have no worries. The two other course Quilchena and Jericho Hill are just a few minutes away which makes it nice when looking for more of a variety.

QE Little Mountain lacked distance and a whole lot of difficulty. For being the best course in Vancouver, it could of been more challenging (as I shot under playing my first time with little difficulty). It would be great to see tee signs to help with navigation besides the map at the kiosk near hole one. Also, the course could benefit from more garbage cans, a restroom on or near the course (besides the temporary port a potty that is there only during the road construction), and better guarded baskets.

Even though they made great use of one side of the park, there was still a lot of room there to incorporate longer more challenging holes. They have two practice baskets installed clear across the park yet they are only used for tournaments or gorilla golf. The one practice basket directly across hole 9/18 would be a prefect alternative pin placement, making it MUCH more challenging as you throw over the pond.

This course truely is beautiful, especially during the fall when all the leaves are vibrant and full of color. The park is perfect for practice or a quick round and I am told that they hold a tournament at the end of their series in Spring where they rent out the rest of the park and turn it into a 26 hole course. I will definately be up for that because this course has a lot of potential and the locals are great! If you are in Vancouver I recommend hitting this course up first, then Quilchena, and if you have time then Jericho Hill.

Well maintained course with lots of options. Some hexagonal teepads allow users to invent their own holes and mix things up. Near and far tee pads work well for taking beginners, they can shoot from the closer pads.

Not a lot of space. The course would benefit from some more real estate from the park to really stretch it's wings and fly.

Watch out for the pond. It eats discs and it's hungry! It's pretty gross water. I wouldn't go in there after a disc.
