Use the
map at DGCourseReview.com to find courses on your way. Off the top of my head, here are some places worth checking out:
- Novato, CA:
Stafford Lake (18) is one of the best California courses. Epic distance and scenery, and
one of the best "Top of the World" holes anywhere.
- Ukiah, CA:
Low Gap Park (18) &
Lake Mendocino (27) are both supposed to be very good.
- Eureka, CA:
Cooper Gulch (9) is short and wooded.
- Arcata, CA:
Redwood Curtain at HSU (18) is the most famous course in the Redwood Empire, but supposedly is a bit rough and has mostly tone poles (I haven't played it myself). Bring a map or play with locals.
Mad River Pump Station #4 (9) isn't spectacular, but is a fun half-hour of disc golf.
- Crescent City, CA: I don't know what the current status of
Beachfront Park (24?) is. They're slowly adding baskets, but the local club's Web site is never updated.
- Selma, OR:
Lake Selmac (18) is an easy detour off U.S. 199 on your way inland from the coast and definitely worth a stop and a $2 parking pass.
- Grants Pass, OR:
Tom Pearce Park (18) is definitely worth a stop (also $2, but I think you can use the same pass as at Selmac).
