Nice little spot 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 27, 2020 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Nice place to go if you forget your hiking shoes on the way to Sycamore. Great place to work on drives, midrange and putts. Nice place to go if introducing someone to this fine game.

Cons:

A little crowded with non players
All flat- no terrain
Not to challenging if you are experienced (good enough for me!)

Other Thoughts:

Great neighborhood spot, especially if you want to quickly knock out 9 holes or work on your shots.

Sequoia Park Disc Golf Course Gets Consistent Play! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 21, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

Say what you want about these easy little 9 hole park courses but they usually seem to have players. I think there are a lot more very casual disc golfers than serious players. That is why I'm always glad to award these 9 hole courses an average score of 2.5.

Sequoia Park is typical city park that happens to border on school. Sequoia is flat with scattered trees, walking sidewalks, a playground and picnic shelter. The course starts in one corner and loops around at the finish. The baskets are faded Discatchers with the yellow band and numbers. The tee pads come in various shapes and sizes, sometimes using the available sidewalk. Some tees are marked by two of the ever popular yellow campground flexible (indestructible) signs. I'm not exactly sure why they need a yellow tee on both sides of a concrete pad? Wouldn't one be sufficient? There are some decent distances here ranging up 400'.

# 3 tees from right next to this lovely rock park sign which also happens to make a comfortable bench. Double duty.

Cons:

Many of the holes are very similar.

A few of the concrete tee pads are 3-4 inches above the grass making it difficult to get a decent run up. One I remember could pretty easily be filled around it with some dirt.

Recreational golf.

Flat.

Inconsistent tee signs with a couple missing. Only one is needed per hole. Having two is kind of unattractive and overkill.

Other Thoughts:

Nothing sexy about this course, just a solid recreational course. Instead of complaining about what it isn't.....long, challenging, hilly....just embrace it for what it is and who it serves. If Sequoia wasn't here to satisfy these player's disc golf addiction, some of them might be junking up your favorite course.

Pros:

-nice discatchers
-most tees are marked with yellow posts
-a few trees to work around
-good for beginners, kids, and families

Cons:

-super short
-tons of pedestrians, walking paths, a playground, the road
-a bunch of mandos that will probably be ignored
-sign is gone for tee 2
-"locals only" etched in a few concrete tees... really? you can keep your lame 9 holer

Other Thoughts:

Apparently the first course in Simi Valley, meant to introduce the sport to the community. In my estimation, it does so poorly. This course is really only appropriate for kids; they'll spray discs everywhere but at least they won't be moving very quickly. I did see some families out here so that was cool.

This park is just too small for a course and has too much pedestrian interference. Good for putting practice if you live in the neighborhood but there's no reason not to go 2 miles away to Sycamore Park for a far superior experience. I would hope to see these baskets relocated to a better location in Simi because as it is, it's a disaster waiting to happen.

Pros:

Flat, good for putting practice as the course is probably going to have pedestrians all over it. Quiet place. Perfect to start a child on or if you live nearby it would be great to have access to all the time. Honestly this is a great park just to expose more people to disc golf, then they'll realize there are some awesome courses close-by (looking at you Sequoia, just down the road, Rabbit Flats T.O., and Veterans Park Sylmar.) Good luck losing your disc here *it's close to impossible.

Cons:

Small, based around a jogging path and as a neighborhood park you should definitely be respectful and wait until it's clear. Hard to find starting positions on a number of holes, not well delineated. Mandatories also not clearly marked so we reinforced what we thought before we threw.

Other Thoughts:

I would definitely rather this place exist than not.

Where people are mandos 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 12, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Brand new DiscCatchers, thoughtful design maximizing a small space, SOME concrete tees (using paved walkway), nice neighborhood feel.

Cons:

Children EVERYWHERE, waiting for a safe chance to throw, essentially all straight shots and nothing over maybe 250', no elevation change, no dedicated tee pads, no bathrooms.

Other Thoughts:

Clearly installed with love for the game, but the execution equals probably the most dangerous round I've ever thrown. Walkways with people on them, park benches with people on them, grass with people on it are all precious obstacles that you need to do your best to avoid, or patiently wait for them to clear lest tragedy occur. In the obvious way I would recommend this course for beginners since it's all straight, level, and short. In other ways I would definitely NOT recommend this course for beginners since grip lock, rounding, or a wild throw could result in injury.
That being said, I really appreciate the effort the designer and everyone else involved with this course put into introducing the community to our sport. I witnessed one of the coolest things I've ever seen while throwing that day: small children playing on their own. I also saw families playing together.
I suppose that if you're playing with children this might be the best course out there since they will not likely have the power to hurt anyone. Also, this course looks like it could be a lot of fun for a night round.

Welcome to Simi Valley 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jan 22, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

- Grassy fairways throughout
- Innova Discatcher baskets
- Easy navigation
- Great use of the small undulating elevation changes
- Well patrolled by local Parks and PD
- Perfect introductory course for new players
- Water fountains
- Tons of parking
- Establishing a DG presence in Simi Valley

Cons:

- Mandos, lots of them (in place for safety reasons)
- Mixed use park
- Shady people in the park in the late afternoons and evenings
- No bathrooms on site

Other Thoughts:

This short nine hole course is a fantastic place for beginners and more advanced players looking to hone their mid range or putter skills. Sequoia DGC is the first course installed in Simi Valley and with luck will foster the development of a great new disc golf community.

So far my experience with park goers has been good. Nearly everyone is interested in disc golf and will walk right up to ask questions.
