Description
One of the country's premier disc golf destinations, featuring 29 scenic and challenging holes. The course is lovingly maintained by the De Laveaga Disc Golf Club. The course features an incredible variety of both visually beautiful and challenging holes, including thickly wooded tunnel fairways, blind drives over trees, wide open fields, and a lots of elevation changes. Hole 27 is the course's signature "Top of the World", one of the most epic tee shots in disc golf: a long, soaring tee shot from a stunningly scenic vista at the top of a large hill back down to a basket tucked by the starting teepad far below. This historic course was first established in 1984, and remains one of the most scenic and distinctive West Coast disc golf courses to this day. $2 parking fee to park at the lot. New, used, and custom-stamped discs available at the shack store in the parking lot. Bring lots of water as it can get quite hot and there is no running water at the course.

<ul> <li><strong>All Holes:</strong> The 2 meter rule is in effect. If your disc comes to rest in a tree or any other kind of object, such that its lowermost edge is more than 2 meters above the ground (measured along a vertical line, parallel to gravity), then the disc is considered OB. A penalty throw is added to the score on a hole for each 2 meter rule violation. The lie for the subsequent throw shall be marked directly below the disc (following procedures as if the disc were projected onto the ground).</li> <li><strong>All Holes:</strong> Inner edge of all bounding road and beyond is OB, except on holes 20&22. OB edge may be defined by rope during tournament play; if no rope, edge of pavement is OB.</li> <li><strong>Hole 1:</strong> Double mandatory, must pass between 2 large Monterey pine tree (red arrows are fixed to the trunks). Drop zone is located just left (about 10′ downhill) of the mando tree on the right.</li> <li><strong>Hole 6:</strong> The ditch to the right just before the road is OB. The edge of the OB is defined by a rope.</li> <li><strong>Hole 20&22:</strong> Surrounded by pavement is OB, but it is OK to throw across the road. The road plays like a river.</li> <li><strong>Hole 24:</strong> Mandatory, must pass to the right of the small oak (an arrow is fixed to the tree). The drop zone for a missed mando is behind a line drawn to the right of the mando (perpendicular to the line between the basket and the mando tree).</li> <li><strong>Hole 26a:</strong> Rope along the left edge of the fairway defines OB. This OB line applies only to 26a, and is not in effect on hole 26. There is no drop zone.</li> <li><strong>Hole 27:</strong> For a lost disc, use the drop zone located beneath the olive tree at the corner of the tree stand behind tee 25. If a disc goes OB, the player has the option to throw from this DZ or from where the disc went OB.</li> </ul>
