Well marked and easy to navigate. Clear flags on hidden pins. Red and white tee pads to accommodate different skill levels. Love the two mandatory culverts.

Tight spacing between fairways doesn\'t leave a ton of room for wild shots.

All dirt and sand course. Best in the morning before it gets hot.

this is a chill city courselots of short fun shotsand even a few bombers, no big downhill though

def some course overlap, the whole course is kind of like an island course. the plus of this is that you get to experience a circus like flurry of incoming discs

mad respect for whomever designed and built this course. there is love here and elegance and above average creativity.this is a compressed technical city course, that maximizes all the space available. only course that i can think of that compares to it is the Mineral park course in Seattle.the rolly polly knoll like feeling of this course gives it loads of personality, reminding me of a well designed ball golf coursethe giant culvert pipes are f* brilliant! whoever designed this course should be paid to make more courses!! in az. Sonoita? Tombstone? Bisbee?

Very thoughtfully designed - several of the holes are unlike anything I have played elsewhere.

Great mix of discs and shots required - it's possible to play here very often without getting bored.

Extremely well-marked - near each basket is an arrow pointing to the next tee. On every hole, the basket is visible from the tee pad. Even first-timers to the course should be able to navigate it without consulting a map.

Tight quarters - it's common for fairways from other holes to come into play. When the course is busy, you need to be careful about throwing into other groups and watch for others throwing into you.

- In terms of baskets, signage and tees, a very professionally laid out and executed course (it's a Houck Design) that makes excellent use of the available space.

- In spite of being a bit tightly laid out, the course offers some good shot shapes and a good mix of distances with some fun ace runs even playing from the longs.

- Excellent parking and washroom facilities at the beginning of the course.

- Super easy to navigate, cart-friendly course.

- Couple of memorable mandos and a few memorable shots.

- Nice views being up on the hill.

- Can be congested, and holes are close enough in multiple places that other fairways come into play with missed shots.

- Not a very challenging course overall, this is really the biggest knock. There's just not a ton of space to work with and this and it's on top of an old landfill site, so not like you're going to find super old/tall vegetation.

- When the wind picked up it could be a little nasty.

Although this is clearly a rec and beginner friendly course, it's so well done and has enough fun ace runs and looks that it has something to offer to more advanced players as well. Probably not a course advanced players would want to play over and over again though.

One of the more memorable courses we played in the area in spite of it not being overly challenging compared with courses like Fountain Hills or Buffalo Ridge.

Nicely maintained course.
Great use of the area allotted
Some really cool mandos
Restrooms close by

Because some of the holes criss-cross other players might get in the way occasionally
Mostly dirt and gravel course
Some of the baskets are close together making your target basket confusing

One of the more fun courses I have played. It is in a nicely maintained and manicured park that has restrooms close by the course. They really make good use of the smallish area to pack in 18 holes and a great job of making each hole unique. I would come back to play any time.

This course is extremely well maintained. Baskets are in great shape, concrete tee-pads, signs are accurate, (although there are only a couple blind holes) good markers directing to the next hole making it extremely easy to navigate, even the landscaping is kept up. I'm proud to call this my local course.

Great use of the space available and the mando's are interesting. Holes ranging from 150-615 feet and everything in between.

Not extremely challenging, most of the holes require you to throw straight ahead with little blocking your path, though that's not the case for every hole.

Many criss-crossing fairways. If it's busy this can be a concern

Blue and Black tees have been added to about half the holes. These are dirt tee pads but create a completely different experience from playing the concrete tees. On hole #3 for example, the black tee seems to double the length of the hole. On other holes, the blue/black tees don't add much distance but create a very different approach and incorporate more of the trees to block your path. For someone who might consider playing from the White tees a little too easy, this adds some challenge

Very easy, very interesting mandos, nice variety and extremely well planned and cared for. Love those holes where you MUST throw to the circles. Easy pickings for a precision player like me (I've never shot above par).

Too easy. Too short. Too hot (no shade). Too crowded. No opportunity for cardio. Total hell for power players who lack precision in their shots.

It's just too easy for an intermediate player, but it's fun for social outings and those mandatory shots are tricky and interesting.

Recent addition of Black tees add length to a relatively short course, it's like playing a new course from the tips.
New caretaker has made some great changes, all the basket areas now have the putting circle, and the dead brush has been removed. New landscaping has been done, fresh Christmas tree mulch will help slow down the edge damage to your discs.
Excellent baskets and permanent tee pads
Signs at every hole

None that are ongoing, except hole 17 is marked as a parent 4 and it's straight uphill at 270'. Play it as a par 3.
A few too many shorties.

First off, big kudos to Boyd B. I've been playing here for 3 years and it has NEVER been better than it is right now. And I've played over 100 rounds here. Mostly part 3s, with a short Mando and a long Mando where you throw through giant concrete culvert pipes. Good stuff. The new tees add some much needed length to the course. Also, there is a walking path around the park for the significant other, and a huge playground for the young ones. And 2 dog parks. And a huge archery range.
This course is a 10 minutes drive for me, and I'm coming here more than the other local courses, which are are either boring parks or scrubby desert.
Summary - not the most challenging course, but taking everything into account this course checks off most of the major boxes.

*Very well cared for and very clean
*Bathrooms, garbage and recycling right off parking lot
*Fairways are clearly marked
*Great "next hole" arrows, easy navigation
*Addition of wood chips is a really nice touch
*Makes extremely good use of the allocated space
*Lots of fun holes, several ace runs, and a couple of interesting mandos...perfect for a rec round

*Crowds can create crossfire due to the number of adjacent fairways, keep your head on a swivel!
*Be aware, there is even less shade here than on most Valley courses

Overall this is a really fun, nicely maintained rec/beginner course. It is hard to find a lot of drawbacks. The course designer(s) did a great job of making an entertaining little course in a small area. I look forward to playing it again!

Well laid out fairways if you play the rock lined OBs. Great for tournament preparation. Course has multiple legitimate par 4s. It has grown up a lot of vegetation and is now no longer a flat dry desert course, that I'm told it used to be.

A lot of hard pack and heat will tear up some of the more rubber type plastics.

Clean course that is well designed for the allotted space. Some small elevation changes, well designed holes, and just a ton of fun. I have 2 kids (9 and 13 years old) that play with me Often and having long and short tees makes this course fun for Everyone.

****Update 09/29/2018
Course has been gone through and much of the brush and smaller trees have been removed.The course is very clean from work parties done by First Light Disc Golf club. Baskets on hole #3 and #14 are now elevated a good 5ft. Bring PLENTY of water and an umbrella if you want Any Shade. Also, Red and White concrete teepads were built into the course. There are Blue length Teepads built by First Light Disc Golf club on some of the holes. They are very easy to see and marked with what hole they are for.

Neat layout, but not the most Challenging course. I am sure anyone rated over 900 will get bored of playing this course fairly quickly.

Predictable wind patterns (wind seems to come from same direction most of the time, but Does get gusty) and a well designed layout make this a great course to work on your midrange/putting game. There are not many Long holes. The course is crawling with rabbits, roadrunners, squirrels, lizards, quail, and other wildlife. Overall, I am greatful to have this course so close to my new home in Arizona!

Paseo Vista Recreation Area is a recreation course built over the top of a old garbage dump. The terrain is a rolling, desert type but not a true desert. Something more of a cross between desert and groomed recreation area. The course has a practice basket, two concrete pads for each hole and simple signs showing a map and distance. The first sign was pretty beat up but the rest were in fairly good shape.
Hole distances varied from short ACE runs (150, 185 ft.) to 615 ft. par 4s.
The signature holes on the course are the two culvert holes. The first is 170 ft. to the basket which stands just 15 feet or so past the 10 foot high concrete culvert. The obvious stradegy here is to play this like any other 170 straight ACE run and ignore the culvert. Yeah! Easier said than done! I threw my drive over the culvert.
The second culvert hole, # 18, is another story. The sign says 215 from the first pad, 235 ft. from the second pad. These distances are way off! the second pad is about 100 ft. closer to culvert than first. Then it's 120 ft. more to the culvert. The basket is then 200 ft. past the culvert. So in the basket position today, it was 420. That's a very tough par 3 with a mando through a culvert.
I like the way the sign on # 13 listed different pars for the two tee pads. The distances are 345/475 and the pars are listed as 3/4. Very few courses go to this extreme.

# 17 is listed as 270 ft. It's slightly uphill and is listed as a par 4. This is an EAGLE waiting to happen all day long. It obviously should be a par 3.
Many of the fairways are very close and I guess this could cause a problem.

IMO, this course is well planned, well designed, well maintained and well constructed. If I lived near, I would play here often.
It's the first Phoenix area course that I've played that is really ideal for beginners and rec players alike. I've since played Green Valley out in San Tan Valley and that's another perfect course for beginners to cut their teeth on. Enjoy them both!

The trees seen in the media files are much bigger now making many of them come into play, adding to difficulty. Water and bathrooms on site as well as a 30 foot practice ring are nice amenities. Overall a quick and fun course that forces you 150-650 off the tee and through culverts.

Course shortens to ~150 on some holes making them too easy.

Great warm up course if planning a multiple course day.

Very neat short course. My drive is way too much for this course. Great course to practice approach and putt from.

Windy, on this day, but not abysmal. I have played at far tougher courses in far worse wind, so this is reasonable. Lots of errant shots from other players. Tees, fairways, and baskets way too close together.

All in all a neat use of the grounds. Fun to play on this course. GREAT FOR BEGINNERS. My wife got her first, second, and third par. This was a fun little course. The cons are just minor considerations to keep in mind.

The course plays through a fairly open desert style park. There are a few small trees, otherwise the obstacles are mainly some small scrubby brush and some manmade obstacles. The brush is used well on a couple holes to punish errant drives, leaving upshots that have to go up and over to get to the green. The two holes that use the drainage culverts as mandos were a fun touch. On a course intended for higher level players they would seem gimmicky, but here they fit in perfectly and definitely add a different challenge.

There are some minor elevation changes that come into play on several holes. Nothing huge, but enough to make you think a little about how your disc is going to fly up or down a small hill. The baskets and tees are in nice shape, and the long tees on about half the holes add a little more challenge for better players. The signage is great, making it pretty easy to know where to throw and where to find the next tee.

There are some major safety issues here. Many of the fairways are parallel with no space or foliage in between. With less accurate players as the target audience here, those issues are magnified, and the heavy traffic makes it even worse. I saw several shots that ended up one or two fairways over from where they started when I played.

The park is pretty much wide open. The design makes some really fun short holes for what was available, but in the end it's a very short course without real line shaping challenges of any kind. I thought the long tees actually took away from the spirit of the course, the longer shots didn't fit the character of the course or the intended audience well.

Beginners will enjoy this course a lot. It's very approachable with little punishment for errant shots and a few fun challenges. More experienced players can have a good time bringing out new players or playing a quick putter round, but shouldn't expect a real test of their disc golf skills. This isn't the course I'd recommend if you're on a road trip through the area, but it's a nice quick stop if you don't have a lot of time.

Very well maintained and in a nice recreation area with many amenities. Bring the whole family.

The terrain is hilly and makes for interesting angles of approach to park your disc at the basket. It's used well. Everything is really well marked and the stones in the ground near the basket pointing to the next tee is a great and welcome touch. The desert terrain is way more fun than I thought it would be, not being from the area.

The 2 holes with the concrete tube mandos are awesome, it's a really great idea that really works well. You have to make a good approach shot up to the tube, and then depending on how well you did that, make a decision to go for it or play it safe as you go through.

Super easy. I threw under par for the first time in my life here, on my first game, and it's not the par 4s that are easy... it's the par 3s. But still fun trying to deuce as many holes as you can. A lot of ~200 ft holes, that play like the disc golf version of "pitch and putt" (approach and putt?).

Very forgiving because even if you miss a shot, obstacles don't obscure the basket from any side. Generally, disc golf courses with few trees try to incorporate them as best they can, but this course seems to do the opposite and seems to avoid the trees/brush (more often than not). This course could have been a lot more interesting if the baskets were put beside/behind the bushes rather than in front of them. This is the course you bring your family to if you're trying to teach them to play.

The ground is very rocky, lots of rough gravel and sharp rock in many places, and will really beat in the discs fast.

I had fun. If/when I return to the area, I'm going to bring the family out to this course and let the kids play in the play ground while I play a round. A great course to swing out to if you're in the area. Goes without saying though, it's really hot and dry, bring cold drinks.

I think I've increased my rating by .5 due exclusively to the tube mandos which are really memorable and interesting. It's such a great idea, I think more holes should utilize this.

Very fun course with great facilities. Water and restrooms close to start, finish, and halfway point. practice putting area near first hole. All holes are clearly maked and labeled with good signage. Love the two mando holes. great course to work on precision and touch. Nice tee pads and even a few extra ones for beginners.

Smells like manure sometimes but hey your in farm country on top of a landfill.

not sure if par fours are regulation par fours and need to be played as par 3's. Layout and rules at start of course is a nice touch but not sure what the min. distance for par 4's should be?

beautiful vista views. Good tee pads, next hole markers are some of the best I have seen. Nicely laid out with obvious care. great that other uses of the park do not overlap this course. Hole 7 is a great signature hole with the pipe mando. Zero trash on course. Plays fun. Lots of aceable holes here. No big arm stuff... no big deal there. Steel plates as bridges over culverts are well placed and appreciated. Locals are friendly. bench on 12? was nice... but you need a few more on a few more holes. Lots of other things to do in the park... lndfill theme... reclaimed materials for park play lots and art pieces is nice.

many landfill courses are too windy. today was no exception. really makes for a tough time, cuts down on the enjoyment. adds challenge, but... This would be great without the wind. Not sure if wind is always an issue... I will come back and play again next time I am in town to see how it is. Garbage cans needed... more benches please.

No big arm stuff is O.K. since w all this wind big arm = havock. Would be a great course for small tournament play. Love the mandos on 7 and 18.

Very well maintained..Great views..wind makes for a challenge..bathrooms and water..easy to navigate..good signage..most holes have 2 tees..one average to long and one fairly short. a few blind shots one very long hole 5..

No grass can't play in summer or at least I wouldnt..walking paths very close to some fairways..

I really like this course..its built on an old landfill on top of a hill over looking farmland..crop planes fly overhead..I got my first ACE here on hole 14. Only one tee option from that hole so I dont feel bad about it being only 210 feet. Have hit metal on hole 6 twice. Big concrete mandos on 2 hole make for interesting shots..A couple holes need some real power but most pretty short. makes for a fun day if you have various skill levels playing with you..if ou stick to all the long tees its a decent chalenge

good use of ex landfill. Signage and tee pads are concrete and well done. long/short tee pads on most if not all holes. I think it flowed really well.
Bathrooms and water is available.

a couple of fairways are pretty close to each other.

This course is well done, it is on top of a hill covering an ex landfill. it can be really tricky at times especially when there is wind. Many a times I had some nice looking drives catch a draft, and go way further or way off because of the drafts on the course. Some holes have a good ace opportunity, Ive hit chains twice on the same hole, but no luck going in. I think the course suits a variety of players from beginners to experienced.
