Walden Park

For what this course is, it is a nice course with good equipment, signage and good use of the space that they had to work with. The terrain is dead flat, but there are trees and shrubs throughout which are well used in the design. The length and location make it very family friendly and good for beginners, but for the more experienced player it offers a good "pitch and putt" experience with a couple of 300-footers tossed in.

For what this course is, it is a nice course with good equipment, signage and good use of the space that they had to work with. The terrain is dead flat, but there are trees and shrubs throughout which are well used in the design. The length and location make it very family friendly and good for beginners, but for the more experienced player it offers a good "pitch and putt" experience with a couple of 300-footers tossed in. I played the 9 holes 4 times in about 2 hours so its great whether you have a couple of hours to kill or just want to get a quick 9 holes in.

I know nothing of the history, but it appears the folks that put it in took a very small space (2-3 acres??) of under utilized space in a small community park and in it, they put a 9 hole course with 7 holes ranging from ~225 - 275 and 2 that are at about 300. Working with what they had available they took advantage of the trees, shrubs and a couple of mandos to make a short but moderately technical course in a densely populated community. The course backs up to a major recreation trail so you can safely walk or bike in additional to driving to the park. It would be nice to see more courses like this in small community parks!

When I rate a course I attempt to look at what the purpose of the course is and put a grade based on that, instead of a top end absolute. The only reason that this course didn't rate higher for me was 1 main factor: there are a couple of crossing fairways. Unfortunately, this seems to be necessary given the space, but even with only 3 groups out there playing, there were times of waiting and so comfortably I think the course could only flow with 4 to 5 groups, which is too bad given its ease of access.

Good course to learn at. Holes seem pretty short. Trees get in the way of a lot of shots - which is a challenge. Must curve and slice the discs to have success. No poison oak. Playground nearby for bored kids. Odds on losing some of your discs - small. Signage and tee boxes are very good at this course. I've been playing this course since 2014 and first gave it a C+ rating then, but moved it up to a B- last year when I realized how good their signage, tee pads and local disc golf club is. ...

I've been playing this course since 2014 and first gave it a C+ rating then, but moved it up to a B- last year when I realized how good their signage, tee pads and local disc golf club is. I moved it up to a B today because they put in regulation size tee pads last month.
This place is thriving. It has weekly tournaments, (handicapped), every Wed. at 5:30. Check it out!
