    Review by IsThisThingOn in course Buttonwillow Park

    2.50 star(s) Good effort in the California flats It is very clear that the course designers put a lot of care into the course. The tee boxes are in great shape and have hole numbers & distances set into the concrete. The layout flows well and you finish right at the start. As far as care I give it a 4.5/5. A...

    Review by IsThisThingOn in course Tobin Brenard Area - Old Layout

    2.00 star(s) Charming diversion off the 10 -Well marked and easy to follow, I never had to search for the next hole. -Unique DIY baskets give it a fun feel -Beautiful setting (if you like the desert) -Practically impossible to lose a disc -3 min off the 10 -flat as the day is long -rocky terrain can ding...

    Review by IsThisThingOn in course Sylmar DGC

    4.00 star(s) Must play in LA -One of the best maintained courses in the area. -Excellent pro shop -3-5 pin placements per hole. I've played this course for a couple of years and I still sometimes see a new placement. -Intuitive course flow (both the front and back 9 begin and end at the parking lot/pro shop...

    Review by IsThisThingOn in course Zilker Park

    4.00 star(s) Excellent course for (almost) all skill levels! Zilker is a staple of Austin disc golf, filled everyone from first timer and 5-digit PDGA numbers (and the occasional 4). The course is short, but technical, especially with the change a few years ago to holes 3 and 4 which add a wooded section...

    Review by IsThisThingOn in course Sunset Park

    2.00 star(s) Meh with a dose of meh -FANTASTIC signage. Really good design. -Well maintained -Hole 5 or 6 (dogleft to some palm trees) is super cool. -almost no shot variety -stupidly long holes -no elevation change -signage does not match any map I could find online.

    Review by IsThisThingOn in course DeBell DGC

    3.50 star(s) Great 9 holes, with a catch - good shot variety (left and right) - lots of elevation change without being oppressive - very well maintained - multiple pin placements REALLY change the course - despite being annoyingly high, the green fees do keep out the usual d-bags we've all met at every...

    Review by IsThisThingOn in course City Park - Old Layout

    4.00 star(s) Pleasant gem in NOLA - BEAUTIFUL location in City Park - variety in shot difficulty - mix of long bombs and ace runs -11th hole shot over the bridge is a short gem and a heart stopper - Surprisingly good use of a mostly flat terrain - excellent signage - LOW traffic, had zero waits on a Saturday...

    3.00 star(s) Solid Tune Up Course -Good use of terrain -Moderately varied shot selection -Great map at 1st tee (also take away maps) -Well maintained by the city -Holes 8+9 are frequently surrounded by sketchy crew. -Holes 8+9 are also a trek from 1-7 (between this and the weirdos I usually skip these). -Tee...

    Review by IsThisThingOn in course Old Ranch Park

    1.50 star(s) Stale and punishing -It exists. -Well maintained. -It exists. -Little to no shot variety. Just straight shots the whole way -Needlessly unforgiving: between the high winds and steep hill, every shot has a chance of random errant rolls, gusts, etc. -THE HILL: perfect shot, catch an edge, roll...
