Great course with a lot of variety of shots. Long par 4's and technical par 3's. This year they laid new tee pads, so each hole now has 2 tees. They also added extra baskets to 9 or so holes. The course is also well maintained by the club, Kelly gets mowed pretty regularly. The only downsides to the course is that it is very flat and there are no bathrooms.

Kelly Park is my go-to course in the the Silicon Valley. It is very well maintained by SVDGC. There are bag trees at just about every Tee box. It always had good signage, but recently it has been upgraded to take it to an even higher level. The course has a good variety of hole types, from long and open to short and technical. The only thing it is lacking is any real elevation change. If you want to play a fun18 hole course in San Jose with plenty of parking and great variety, Kelly Park is the place to be!

I understand everyone rated this park mostly B lately , yes I recalled I played my first time on grand open day ! It was very difficult to find discs there were many trees , poison oaks , lost to next tees . As for now I go there almost 2x a week it is much better I mean the best landscaping to play and easy to see baskets and the tee off are awesome !! I recommend you all disc golfers to go n play there . Forgot to add there is no restroom !! But small store by right side on interstate when u enter Kelley park and I rated this park an A ...

With the recent floods, a lot of the debris and trash has been washed away and with the help of San Jose and SVDGC volunteers, the course/park is back to pristine conditions.

Kelley Park DGC offers almost everything a disc golfer could desire. Each tee has an all-weather rubber pad, informative sign and bag pole. Each hole has at least 3 positions and presents a different challenge with every throw. From natural obstacles to long open fairways, the 18 hole course will test your ability to pick that perfect flight path. Parking is $6 daily and situated next to the course. Two caveats: mostly flat and a handful of blind shots (would highly suggest joining someone who has played the course before).

TL;DR Best 18 hole disc golf course in the South Bay that offers technical and open fairways.

What a fun course! My favorite of the 3 courses available in San Jose.

Pros: Great signage, very welcoming starting area with practice basket and large trees. Bag holders at tee boxes, great tee-pads, awesome variety of long/short holes requiring diff shot selections. The baskets are switched around often offering nice variety. A number of deep long shots, Hole 3 is a par 4 at times at over 500ft.

Poison Oak: Watch for it around the back 9!

Cons: Parking fee. $100 ticket for not paying (that was an expensive round for me). The rangers drive around in their trucks and blare on a bullhorn way before sunset demanding that all players leave - it feels a little strict. The best thing to do is park out of the main lot if you can so that you can continue playing after they yell and shut the gate at 5. If you get locked in you can find a small area to drive around it, but requires you to drive around Hole 18 tee-pad.

Geez, this course was kind of hard to believe. Beautiful tee boxes, great signage, and a "bag tree" at every hole. One hole had a broom. There were no overlapping fairways. This course is more recommended to experienced players, but this is disc golf, almost at its best. The reason I couldn't give it an A or A+ is that there is quite a bit of poison oak on the course, and a lot of bushes/trees to lose your discs in. Also, for golfers who like elevation shots, or downhill shots, in particular, there wasn't any of that. Some long holes had to be shot into the famous "Kelley Park wind". But, for golfers who like long shots where they can really let loose with their drivers, this is the course for you. One hole position was 648' and there were several over 300'. There were only 4 "short" holes, and those were very technical, as short holes tend to be.

My brother and I were very lucky today, too, because, just as we were getting ready to play Hole 1, a local named Jim Challas approached us and walked the entire course with us as we played it, telling us where all the baskets and tee boxes were, and even where all the alternate positions, OBs, etc. were, too. It just so happens that, not only is Jim a local, he also designed the course, and helped design 2 other courses in San Jose. At one point, we asked him for his business card and he presented both of us with a mini disc with his name, phone #, and disc golf pertinent info about himself on it. When we got done playing, he also gave both of us beautiful color maps of the course with excellent info on them.

Here are Jim's credentials: PDGA #160, inducted into the Disc Golf Hall of Fame in 2013, inaugural member of the Minnesota Disc Sports Hall of Fame, (2006), former National Frisbee Champion North American Series, 1979 Self Caught Flights, 1977 Overall, and 1976 Accuracy.

Jim, who is originally from our current home city of Antioch, CA, also agreed to help us design and administer a disc golf course in Antioch - where one is sorely needed ...

Great day today! Thanks Jim! (And next time let us buy you lunch, or something).

Lots of upkeep and maintenance has taken place here. Boy Scouts did a bunch of work, thanks guys. The city has been sending in crews occasionally to trim trees, remove undergrowth, and haul away dead brush. It's getting better here. Thank you Jim Challas, your hard work and dedication is appreciated by myself and many others.

Holes 1-12 are great and would get a B+, but holes 13-18 are terrible. You can't see the baskets or have any indication of where the basket is from the T. The bushes are tall, dense and full of thorns. It is hard to set a search and rescue team for your disc when you can't even see the area where it lands. Lost two discs there last Sunday. I understand its a new course I and appreciate the work, but unless there is a plan to do a thorough deforestation in the near future (which I'd be willing to help), I would recommend stop playing at hole 12, and have a blast.

Newly Added course 2015. a lot hard work has gone into the course and it shows. It will only get better from here!!! Love the landscape 1-9, 10-12 are wide open that test your distance and 13-18 can be a pain. As more and more work days happen much of the PO will get cleaned up and this will be an amazing course! Glad to have another in SJ !!!

Great variety of shots. Multiple pin locations. Adequate signage.

There are still some spots of poison oak, and basket location markers would be a big improvement, but the course is new, so I'm sure those improvements will be made.

The parking fee is a definite detractor, but with a couple friends it's do-able. I prefer to ride my bike.
