I played back in August of 2021 with my 2 dogs. A little tricky back by the roped off holes and Hole 13 was modified due to construction, 16 & 17 were covered by a new athletic field and 18 had no basket. The last few holes are not a lot of fun. Front 9 is cool. I don't think it's as bad as Matthew said, but to each his own. Better than the course I went to in Shasta. Not sure how much this gets played. I was thinking of buying a place up there near the college and playing everyday, but not sure now with so many holes out to construction.

Really solid course just minutes from I-5. Plays as a par 58, has some par 4's that are true 2 shot holes. Mostly flat but plays through a nice pine forest. Requires you to play your full game, lots of shot variety and some tough putting greens. Beautiful property with great views of Mt Shasta.
Most of the out of bounds is drainage ditches and an area that floods in the winter, so the OB lines aren't completely random (in my opinion).
Brand new Discatcher Pros as of 2/23/20. The local club has plans for new signs this spring.

This course is terrible period. I'm a firm believer that if there isn't an island or a river or a lake don't play make pretend and put one in with a bunch of retaining blocks and roped off areas that for the most part you cannot see from the tee. The tee signs are horrible and vandalized almost unrecognizable. If you don't have someone walk you through this course you will most certainly get lost. The property is beautiful but has been made unsightly by a series of ropes and cables with blocks to mark imaginary out of bounds. The course is designed for pro level players only and to tell you the truth I have only played here 5 times and have never seen another golfer on the course. I have been playing and competing in disc golf for almost 30 years all around the US and this is one of the worst courses and use of land I have seen. It discourages amateur golfers which is sad for this area because the population is sparse and building a disc golf community is difficult to begin with but made much more difficult by how this course is designed. I doubt the course will ever get redesigned but if it does I recommend a complete overhaul taking out the ropes and imaginary out of bounds, making one set of tees more playable for beginners, and tee signs that are more clear and harder to vandalize. I know its called University of out of bounds but I think it's time to change the course and the culture along with it. It would also attract more players and help build a stronger disc golf community. I would never compete in a tournament here in its current design. The fact that it sits on the property of a community college and probably gets played by maybe only 12 locals all year should say volumes about the recreational aspect of the design.

This course has teepads, baskets and signs, so right away that boosts it from a C to a B. The course itself is fun, but the holes are very similar. Mostly flat, and the baskets are mostly directly ahead of you. There are not many shots where you have to make a sharp turn or go down a hill (because of lack of space).

Still enjoy this course more than Tom Pearce Park, even with the regular wind hazards.
