Great for 4 Holes

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 26, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

A basic micro-course with a hill, nice grass, baskets, and trees.

Rolling Hills is very quick to summarize: there are four good baskets set at varying heights on a large grassy hill. Mature trees must be thrown under or around on three holes. The hill comes into play on all four.

No tees are marked, but using the positions indicated on UDisc, you have four birdieable but challenging holes, two up and two down. Three and four were fantastic to play, trying to gently landed a putter on the fast greens.

It's a pleasant environment and can be completed super quickly. It worked well as a warm-up before I hit La Mirada. Three good ace runs at least.

Cons:

There aren't tees, but I respect that decision on a course this size that most likely sees safari/practice. Maybe embedded marble numbers would be cool?

Various walkers came across the big grassy field, which as you can imagine I had to work around.

Scope is the main detractor here. Four baskets on a hill is pushing the definition of a course for some people. You could play in circles or safari something…but you can do that in any public park if you have a basket.

Other Thoughts:

Not much else to say. The baskets are here and it's a pretty nice park. If you play them as suggested by UDisc there are a couple of neat holes. It's virtually impossible to rate, but compared to anywhere else you can play, Passable is the most fair I can come up with.

~Similar Courses: Any other micro-course in a small park will feel similar. In terms of the four shot-shapes, they'd fit nicely at Rosewood-Dekalb (Redan, GA) or Sunset Park (San Marcos, CA).

A Nice Practice Course drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 13, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice Innova Discatcher baskets on a nice little hill with several nice trees off to the side of a nice playground in a nice park in a nice neighborhood that is nicely maintained with 3 nice water fountains, nice parking lot, and nice bathrooms. Nice! Two of the baskets allow for nice downhill shots. The other two are near the top for nice shot shaping around trees and hopefully avoiding rollaways.

Cons:

There are only 4 baskets. None of the baskets are numbered. There are no tee pads or tee signs. There are no signs for anything and there is no course map. All of these are not cons since it is what you'd expect at a practice course where you pick and choose your shots. There is a picnic table pretty close to the furthest downhill basket, so be careful. There were people at that table when I was there and making an ace run down that hill can easily end up in that table area, which would not be fun for those picnickers.

Other Thoughts:

Rolling Hills Park in Fullerton feels like a different category of disc golf, which is really not a "course" in the traditional term with numbered tees, baskets, and a map. I suppose you'd call this a purely safari disc golf course, which gives you a lot of potential and what shots you choose depends on your imagination and not the course designer. All the NICE things about this course bumped my rating up to 1.5, which I consider generous with all the cons listed. If it's not too far out of your way it may be worth the trip. If you're in the area it is a fun stop; if not in the area don't make the drive.
