Great Course, Pretty open 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 23, 2020 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

I really don't know how this only has 2 stars. This is a great 18 hole course. The front 9 is shorter and lightly wooded. Back 9 is wide open. There is a bit of a walk from Hole 9 to 10 but it is In a nice park with lots of other things to do.

Cons:

There's not any stunning views. Back 9 is kinda boring.

Great local course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 23, 2020 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is my home town course. The front 9 is great for my wife, and would be good for entry level and kids just starting out since the holes are shorter than normal. Great fun trying to get these ones in 2 throws. Back 9 are longer holes.

Cons:

First time we played we spent more time looking for our discs than playing but since then they have trimmed the majority of the brush is affected areas. One time there were a group of parents posted up on 10 with a kid in a wagon on the tee box... and wouldnt move him. We played around and them. Keep your disc on the path on the back 9 to avoid picking things out of your shoes and socks for weeks, HAHA.

A Tale of Two Nines 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 14, 2020 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- Plenty of parking at both nines. Decent restrooms with running water, soap and hand dryers. Water fountains very near to both 9's.
- Awesome signs, multiple pin locations listed, not entirely sure of the accuracy of the distances but still. Holes are listed as two separate nines instead of 1-9 and 10-18 on UDisc which can be confusing for first timers.
- Concrete tee pads that are facing the correct direction.
- Front 9 (original 9 I'm guessing?) is an awesome novice/beginner course and a great way to introduce people to the sport. Great way to sharpen your short game and a great challenge if you play them as par 2's. You can also just tee off 50-100 ft behind the tee boxes for an added challenge.
- Back 9 has some character, the fence on 10, 17 and 18 adds a nice element of OB and discourages errant shots. 10, 12, 13, 16 and 18 were nice long bomber holes that really force players without max distance to place tee shots well and nail their approaches. 12 and 18 feel like they're right on the line of soft par 4/long par 3.
- 14 and 15 were probably my favorite holes, excellent use of the terrain to tuck away pins and force players to throw a disciplined forehand. Really no chance of birdie unless you're inside the circle and on the correct side of the pin.
- Baskets on the back 9 were in decent shape, maybe a little rusted but I had no issues with spit outs.
- With UDisc navigation was fairly straightforward, without it I imagine it would be pretty tough.

Cons:

- Without the addition of OB, Mandatories or making up your own long tee pads, the front 9 is a bit too straightforward to challenge anyone 880 or above.
- No grass at all on the front 9 and lots of rocks and pebbles which can take a toll on your disc.
- A couple baskets in ROUGH shape on the front 9. Hole #2's basket looks like someone drove a car into it. The entire cage is tacoed in.
- With the exception of Hole #1 all the other ones on the front 9 are just gimmies.
- The distance between the two nines is a bit challenging to navigate. It's either a long walk or a short drive which can really disrupt the flow of a round.
- Holes 11, 13 and 16 on the back 9 were all pretty boring. Wide open holes that if you just bomb it out there you should be fine. Felt like fillers, they didn't really use the terrain at all.
- The huge difference in difficulty on the two 9's makes it a little hard to figure out the intended audience for this course. I think novice players would get frustrated on the back and good players will be bored on the front.

Other Thoughts:

I played this course for the first time a week ago--did a couple of practice rounds before the Smash Down, the first PDGA sanctioned tourney here. The tournament did an excellent job (shout out to Bamba Rico and Legacy Discs!) making the front 9 a bit more interesting. There were island greens, OB lines, longer tee pads, etc. It still played very easy but there was at least some element of danger. It might be a lot to ask for first time players at the course to improvise a more challenging layout on a super easy front 9. That said the back was more of a challenge and welcome change.

It's a course that I could see locals loving and making their own fun little ways to play. But the navigation, distance between the 9's and Dr. Jekyll/Mr. Hyde nature of the course makes it less welcoming to first timers. If you're in the area Sylmar or Mission Hills seems like a better option. Or better yet head up to Lake Casitas!

Practice, practice, practice! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 2, 2019 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Easy and "Centrally" located in Santa Clarita. I live in Castaic but it's 10-30min drive depending on the rat race commute hours. I call it a pitch and putt due to all but hole 1 being short (less than 200ft). It's great for your short game and practicing long second shots for longer courses. Front 9 is much better than the back 9.

Cons:

The back 9. It's a good 10 minute walk for starters. There's no sign from hole 9 pointing you in the direction of hole 10 so if it's your first time drive to the back of the park to find it first then drive to the front of the park and walk up to hole 1.
Holes 1-3, A lot of the time there are people under the trees on the grass. It's been changed around the past year but still plays poorly. A lot of time it's overgrown but recently cleared.
Most often my friends and I just play the front multiple times.

Other Thoughts:

Lots of Aces to be had here!

Better than expected! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 18, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

New concrete tee pads on back 9. There are vertical posts listing the hole number, but not the distance on the back 9.

Paver tee pads on front 9 with vertical posts listing hole number and distance for all but the 3rd hole. The #3 post was gone.

Nice multi-use park that is well maintained with bathrooms and water fountains near the front and back 9.

There are 2 City of Santa Clarita scorecards at the beginning of each course. The "North" course card (for 1-9) was available in a container attached to the #1 post. The "South" course card (for 10-18) was on a container attached to the post on the #10 post. I uploaded each of these scorecards to this site.

Although the front nine is short, most of the holes are challenging. From reading the previous reviews I was hoping to get an Ace on the front nine, or at a minimum get at least 5 birdies, especially since this course has a 43 SSE. After I scored 1 over I was so disappointed I played it again, but ended up 1 over again. I'm not that good and don't have a rating, but from my experience on many other courses, this is not that easy and I'd like to watch 5 out of 10 pros go 13 under on this course for a 43 SSE. Really?! On the front 9, number one is very challenging with trees creating a tough line and if you get a little to the left, which I did, then you'll roll down a hill. The next 3 are easy, but 5 is a little downhill with tree branches preventing a shot at the basket. Number six is elevated about 15 feet and hard to lay up to without rolling away and there's trees on each side of the basket. Number seven is another short hole, but a little down hill and a canopy of tree branches prevents a direct shot at the basket. I emptied my bag on 8; it's one of the few straight and flat shots without obstacles. Number 9 has a tight line with blocking trees and a slope that caused my discs to roll away to the right.

The back 9, as others have said, has been changed and does not correspond with the map currently posted here. Since the start of the back 9 has been moved away from the dog park it's much better. One and 2 are on well maintained grass and the mature trees and distance will challenge most of us. Number 3 is a new basket in some trees on the top of the gully about halfway down on the right from what used to be a really long 6. The final 6 are a circular path at the base of some hills. Number 6 and 9 are par 4s that are longer and require a dog leg to reach.

Cons:

Snakes. There's a warning sign with a picture of a snake. This shouldn't be a problem if you're conscious of it when you pick up your disc or walk through the rough.

The last 7 holes are dusty.

It's a LONG way from the finish of the North course to the start of the South. You will want to drive unless you have a lot of time and like to hike. The city's scorecards list the South course as 1-9, not 10-18, so they see these as 2 separate courses, which most reviewers state. The Con here is that you make the drive here and only get credit for bagging one course, when you feel like it should be 2.

I don't see those first 9 holes called South getting boring, as others have said. Rather they are challenging. I tip my hat to anyone who can regularly finish this at 8 under.

Other Thoughts:

It's too bad the hills were not utilized on the North's 5-8. There is great potential to get nice elevation shots there. Sycamor Park in Simi Valley is very similar to Central Park in Saugus and Mike Byrne's design maximized those hills for nice elevation shots. I wonder if the City of Santa Clarita could get Mike to tweak those few holes for them. The only downside I can envision is that there's probably snakes in those hills, but hey, wouldn't you risk the snakes for some nice elevation?!

Front-9 is Beginner Friendly 2+ years drive by

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

Pros:

Front-9 is very beginner friendly
Well kept grounds
Bathroom/water/vending nearby
Free
Ample Parking
Multiple ace runs available on front-9

Cons:

Front-9 gets boring quickly once skill level improves
Back-9 is arid, dry, and very long distance
Back-9 have no shade and it is hot in the summer

Other Thoughts:

As others have mentioned, this course is essentially two completely different 9-hole course glued together. The front-9 can be played with a single disc if you like -- the distances are all very short. I recommend honing your skills on the front-9 until you feel your skill level improve.
The back-9 is challenging in terms of distance, but not in terms of obstacle. The dirt is very loose so expect to get dirty and forget any chance of having discs roll.
This course is great for beginners to get a footing into the sport, but all others would be better served by other courses.

Lonely course. Back 9 has been shuffled around! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 10, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Pretty easy to play.

The back 9 has recently replaced some holes. The shots by the Dog Park have been moved over to the main parts of the back 9.

You can make up your own shots if there aren't others playing.

Cons:

Snakes!

Dusty.

No signage.

Kind of boring.

You will have to move your car to play both sides because they are far apart.

Other Thoughts:

Free to play. Front 9 is behind the softball fields. Back 9 is over by the basketball courts.

Random joggers, youth sports, family picnics, dog walkers and Pokemon Go! players all over the place.

Ice Cream man comes around a bit.

Odd 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 10, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

The course is basically two 9 hole courses on opposite ends of a large multi-use park. The front 9 is short and beginner friendly with a few scattered trees and two baskets with fun rollaway potential around the green. The tees are nice paver pads and this part of the course is easy to follow.

The back 9 is much longer and even more open. A couple holes have one or two trees in play, the rest are wide open. there are some chances to throw some big bombs over on this side. The baskets are in nice shape.

Cons:

The front 9 is all under 200', there are a couple shots that have some interest but it's basically a beginner level pitch n putt. There aren't enough obstacles to force any really interesting lines and you don't need anything but a putter.

The back 9 has a walking path in play on several of the holes, and it seems to be pretty heavily used. The holes have some more challenge than the front just by virtue of being longer, but they're not any more exciting. The tees are just toe boards with natural pads, most are quite rutted out and don't make for good footing. Navigation is tricky on the back 9 with no signs for the tees and a pretty crappy map online.

Other Thoughts:

Beginners will enjoy the front 9, it's not punitive but has a couple obstacles and really reasonable lengths. More experienced players won't find any challenge or variety here, it's just not a course that tests any different skills. I wouldn't recommend a trip here, there's not much to recommend it and the layout is really awkward making for more walking than throwing.

Recreational Add-on 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 9, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Baskets are clearly visible
-Front nine is well maintained, mowed and free of garbage
-Drinking fountains, restrooms and garbage cans located nearby
-Short holes offer a good opportunity to work on approach shots and putting
-Nearby fields offer ample opportunity to practice drives

Cons:

-Course is located near a fairly busy dog park; dogs off leash are common
-There is no clear connection between the front and back nine
-Mandatories are not posted for holes where they border the parking lot or roadways

Other Thoughts:

-As indicated in earlier reviews, this course is a great opportunity to practice one's short game, or introduce friends to the game. The risk of losing a disc is minimal, so newer players can feel free to experiment with unfamiliar lines, rollers, or thumbers without risking their plastic.

Pros:

Front 9 was recently redone, decent tee pads, and nice growth.
Back 9 has some very very long shots.
Free to play.
A great beginner course, place to work on your short game.

Cons:

Where you park is far away from the first hole and then hole 10 is on the complete opposite side of the park.
Front 9 is very short but fun nonetheless.
Back 9 is poorly done as of right now, first 4 shots or so we had people sitting the fairways and lots of them, dogs, joggers.
and the next 5 are severly overgrown with weeds.

It's A Long Walk In! 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Mar 27, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

This course is set in a large sprawling, multi-use park. It starts out behind the fences of one of the four softball fields. In the current nine hole configuration, the first hole plays the longest (250 +) and they each seem to get progressively shorter ending with the 9th which is about 75 ft. The baskets are single chain discatchers. The pads are natural enclosed by 2" x 4"s. They are designed with a run-up in mind but then again you don't really need one here. The signs are just simple yellow plastic strips with the # on them. The course was easy for me to follow once I located #1. I observed some park workers picking up even the tiniest pieces of litter. They are installing a second nine towards the back of the park. They will add some distance and when complete make this a full 18. Most of the holes had a little personality or challenge to them. Like everyone has said, this is a great place to bring a girlfriend, a newbie or just to work on your short game or like I came for, just to rack up another course. And every hole is a possible ace run.

Cons:

Obviously, right now it's pretty much a pitch and putt. The pads are not good. I'd like to see them, at least fill with them building blocks that many courses use. I could see this course being very hot and dusty on warmer days. I thought # 3 was a real throw-a-way hole. It's just a 200 ft throw across a bare earthen fairway to a basket out in the open. Something should be done to improve this hole.

Other Thoughts:

Okay, this is NOT a destination course. But it does serve a purpose in our sport. It provides a place to play for those who live closeby. It might provide some exposure to disc golf. Come here and practice certain aspects of your game. You won't be disappointed if you're not expecting the full fledged disc golfing experience! As previously promised, I've increased my rating by a half point now that they have completde the back nine.

good beginner course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 20, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

went to this course to take my girlfriend for her first time playing and it was a great short open course for this. good baskets marked well and easy to find(cause they are so close to the tee) This course was perfect to show her how the game works and let her get a feel of it without having water hazzards and other difficulties a better course would have. so great to teach and take the kids to.

Cons:

it is very short and open course with very few obstcles so no real challenge for regular players. the tee pads are a bit rough to throw on filled with wood chips. not a lot of shade so will be a very hot course in the summer.

Other Thoughts:

they have another 9 holes put out on the opposite side of the park. no tee pads just a piece of wood down, and no markers yet were they are. this side will have better long throwing but it starts by the dog park and runs along the sidewalk so lots of traffic and waiting for people. some of these holes look to be much longer but still not a lot of obstcles or real challenges but at least ability to let one go and 18 holes is better than 9.

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 13, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

Ok, So if you have an arm for distance not a good course to let-r-fly, holes here are short, great course to Pitch and Putt. Ace Run on many holes, tee pads are toooo short and are gravel but this course you do not use the "X" step for distance. park itself is beautiful, course is set way in the back, quite a walk from car to first tee, clean with very little traffic, i only seen 2 other Dgers there. 9 hole with nice newer baskets. no trash anywhere which i was surprised cause there are very few trashcans. lots of people in park area playing soccer and practicing softball, the course was not to difficult to navigate, overall , my experince is this course is beginner friendly.

Cons:

TOOOO SHORT. Long walk from car to first tee, no map available at park, so if your a first timer, print out map prior to playing. tee boxes need improvement. by the time you get done playing you are at the opposite end of the course, does not end up anywhere close to where you started, so if you wanted to play it backwards you could make some safari holes and get back to hole one.

Other Thoughts:

Not a go out of your way course, but if your local and want to work on your short game, this is the place, no distance here.

Beginners, Kids, Girlfriends, Up-Shots, and "Cubby" Aces 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 2, 2010 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Great Beginner Course. With only one hole being over 250' (Hole 1) and the rest of the holes averaging about 120, this is a great place for beginners, kids, and girlfriends to learn the game.
- Short Game Practice. If you lived close by, this course would be a good place to work on your short game or go for some "cubby" aces.
- Exposure. This course is in a major park with lots of athletic fields as well as down the street from a high school. Hopefully it will get some exposure in the community and a demand for a better course, or more courses in the Santa Clarita Valley in general, will evolve.

Cons:

- Too Short for Advanced Players. Unless you want to add courses to your courses played list, or are looking to add some "illegitimate" aces to your ace count, this course is not worth the drive. It's too short, mostly wide open, and lacks hole quality. I shot -7 with two spit "birdie" putts (provided that the holes are Par 3's).
All the things that make this a good course for beginners, make it bad for advanced players.

Other Thoughts:

- Possible Re-Design. There is plenty of room around the park to make a better course, and I was told that possibly the course could be overhauled by Bamba Rico (one of the owners of Sylmar's course).

Two separate 9 hole courses 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jan 18, 2011 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Front 9:
-Easy for beginners to follow
-Nice brick tee pads
-Holes get easier and easier to play, thus boosting confidence in new players
-DISCatcher baskets
-A 'fun' course to bring a beginner to

Back 9:
-Long, long throws
-More DISCatcher baskets
-Holes 6 - 9 are disc golf exclusive
-Lost discs are rare
-Holes 1 - 5 lit up enough for night play

Cons:

-The front and back 9 are a good half mile apart from each other.
-Natural tee pads on the back 9
-Back 9 goes through potentially busy areas
-Front 9 not compelling enough to maintain any interest from experienced golfers

Other Thoughts:

These courses sit in a large multi-use park on the outskirts of Saugus. While the majority of the park is grass, the courses are mostly on dirt, save for holes 1 to 5 on the back 9. Hazards are more prominent on the shorter front 9 while the back 9 has less obstruction but much more distance.

Seriously, these two 9 hole courses are polar opposites from each other. They are numbered separately, there is a ten minute walk in between them, and they play differently. For reviewing purposes, they really are two separate courses.

The front nine is a great beginners course to practice disc control on. Hole 1 is the longest hole, with each one progressively getting shorter. Hole 9 can't be more than 80 feet long.

New since my last visit are concrete tees. The vertical post is gone but the pad is very easy to see. The number of the hole is made out of different colored bricks on the pad, and it's very cool and different.

While short, each hole has its own personality and challenge. A few of them have a row of trees about halfway between the tee and pin which add challenge. Elevation and bushes also come into play at times, however the elevation does not exceed more than 15 foot on any one hole.

As others have stated, the front 9 is a great place to introduce somebody to the sport, and to have a good casual time at.

The newly constructed back nine at the opposite end of the park is a completely different breed. Currently, tee signs are not present and the pads are just 2x4's and a worn spot in the grass. We had a map and had no issues navigating.

The back 9 holes were all quite long and much more more difficult to par. While more open, a few trees exist on the first few holes to help force lines. High shots can pretty much clear all of the trees but they are not always ideal. The forced lower shots are generally the best route to the pin and are satisfying. Holes 1 to 5 play very much like holes at Prado.

Holes 6 to 9 exist outside of the fenced part of the park in some kind of flat dusty wasteland. I am not sure what this land is for, but it's for DG now and nobody else seems to be back there.

Hole 6 is very, very long. The tee pad sits just outside of the fenced in park and the basket is about 700 feet away around a right turning dogleg. Throws too far to the right will go into residential back yards, which look undesirable to say the least for wall jumping.

7, 8, and 9 are all just wide open field shots with a slight elevation gain or loss. Nothing really to write home about other than long, wide open 'watch it fly' holes. The ground is uneven and feels like a construction zone so rollers would not be ideal out here, but any other throw involving the sky should do just fine.

Hole '18' is a good mile from Hole '1' just so you know. Not far enough to car shuttle it between the few courses, but far enough to warrant lots and lots of walking. I hope DG takes off in this area and they find a better way to connect these two completely unrelated courses that happen to be in the same park.

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 4, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Complete Review Rewrite to add Back 9:
Front 9 (no updates)
- Good beginners.
- Hole 1 has a decent 256 ft drive.
- Hole 3 no obstacles at all and short.
- Hole 5 is great for tomahawk.
- Hole 8 better now that trees have grown into a good obstacle.
Back 9 (added March 2010):
- 9 more holes! Thank you Santa Clarita.
- First 5 holes easy to follow, near parking lot, along sports fields and dog park.
- Hole 6: Great long drive. Hard to see basket from tee. Walk thru gate and ignore the no tresspassing sign.
Overall:
- Beautiful park, best in Santa Clarita.
- Bathrooms and water fountains avail.
- Tons to do at the park, baseball, soccer, basketball, football and jogging. Lots of sidewalks for skateboarding.

Cons:

- Front 9 does not flow to Back 9.
- Back 9 in completely different area approx .25 mile walk.
Front 9:
- Too short.
- Hidden in back of park, bring course map for first time.
- Tee signs are a fiberglass yellow stick, the number of the hole is sometimes missing.
- Hole distances not posted. However, I measured the distances with my GPS and posted the distances under hole info tab.
Back 9:
- Tee pads are dirt with a 2 x 6 in front.
- No markers at all, but new baskets have numbers.
- First 5 holes run the perimeter of busy sports fields. There was always someone standing clueless in the fairway.
- Distance from Front 9 to Back 9 is LONG. Took 9 minutes and I drove.
- Holes 6 thru 9 are in the future planned tennis court complex. It will most likely change when Santa Clarita adds the tennis courts. Will be very hot in summer with no tree cover.
- Hole 7 missing pad marker. I added rocks.
- Hole 8 is dangerous for joggers. I almost hit someone as they came around a blind curve right into my drive. Be careful.
- Hole 9 has no obstacle.
- Back 9 ends far from Hole 1 Front 9.

Other Thoughts:

- I mapped the front and back 9 with my GPS, see new course map in the links tab.
- Its nice to have 18 holes. But the Front and Back 9 are poorly designed. I hope Santa Clarita will update the entire course when the tennis and sports complex are added sometime in the future.
- But, I cant complain too much. I have 18 holes close to home. ;)

short and sweet 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 19, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

-beginner friendly
-very nice park setting
-course is in back of park so that you're not bugging other parkgoers
-the last few holes are fun and a little bit more complicated

Cons:

-very short, pretty much just an ace run course for the advanced player
-no signs, but still fairly easy to follow
-very dusty and dry, bring a drink even though its only 9 holes

Other Thoughts:

unless you happen to be in saugus for some reason, this course is not worth making a detour for. it's about 20 minutes off the freeway and not much of a challenge, so unless you're taking someone to teach you're better off somewhere else in SoCal

Central Park 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 22, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

I've played this course probably 40+ times and it never gets old. I am always trying to challenge my self to get 2s because these are easy threes for most people (exept beginners). This is a great course for begginers because they aren't too long and there aren't many trees. Its also FREE!

Cons:

It is very dusty and can get very windy on the open holes. Right now, Hole 3 has huge piles of woodchips on the fairway. So I suggest to start somewhere else so you don't go hiking in those mounds. The teeboxes don't have any footing, so you slip.

Other Thoughts:

This course is great for people who just want to try disc golf. If you need more of a challenge, try the difficult disc golf course at Veterans Park (Sylmar).
