    This is a really great park, lots of space, disc golf, kids playground, baseball/softball fields and even hiking trails. If you're looking for a quick spot for outdoor exercise or place for your kids to play outside, definitely a go to

    I have a home for sale just a little north of Buffalo Ridge Park in Scarlett Canyon. Families with small children have considered purchasing my home and asked about playgrounds. So, I decided to go check it out for myself and was pleasantly surprised. I visited on a weekday, in September, at 4 PM and the temperature was about 102° These are my observations: 1. very clean playground areas with sand and rubberized surfaces 2. Both playground areas have large sun blocking canopies 3. Covered picnic table with single grill 4. Very well maintained ball field 5. Drinking fountains that we're functioning and had good tasting cool water. Yes, I even drink out of them 6. City of Phoenix maintenance personnel came to the property while I was visiting and emptied the trash containers 7. four basketball hoops, with intact back boards and the little chain netting thing that dangles from the hoop we're all intact 8. Initially the park was almost empty When I arrived to explore, but around 415 some high school kids walked over from the school across the street. Shortly after I observed three adults who in the large grassy area stretching their muscles, then another adult came with his dog and was playing in the field. 9. This park Is situated far enough from 16th street and Wescott Road to keep small kids safe from cars. 10. The house I have listed for sale is in a subdivision called Scarlett Canyon, about a half mile north of this park, and there is sidewalk access the entire walk or bike ride to and from Buffalo Ridge Park.

    A little off the beaten path, but very accessible

    Who knew when I joined Yelp!, that someday I would be writing about a disc golf course?! Well back then, I wasn't even aware of the sport. And now, this isn't my first disc golf course review. Buffalo Ridge Park is located on the north side of Phoenix and my oldest son has played it before. A couple months ago, he suggested we play this course because it's one of his favorites. He is an avid player and it's easy to see why this sport is so much fun. Everyone knows how to throw a frisbee. Now shrink that disc and add some golf strategy. This course is ideal for beginners as well as advanced players. It's easy to navigate but also presents some challenging holes. I'm not a novice but I'm also not as good as my son. He has a disc for every conceivable situation. The low desert scrub may not be as challenging as a course in say Flagstaff. There are no trees, but there are obstacles. We ventured out on one of the last nice late spring days and had a blast. The topography makes this course especially interesting. It's also fairly compact as you zig-zag back and forth, but you never feel like you're on a fairway being played by others. Also, it's the first course where I didn't lose a disc due to the vegetation. Check out the photos. Then go get your spin on!

    If playing frisbee golf in a canal that's been converted into a park isn't your thing, then feast your eyes on this beast! Hills, or are they mini mountains? You decide when throwing those frisbees to your heart's delight! Be forewarned, this is not a course for the beginner. There are many desert shrubbery, trees, and other unforeseen obstacles that await you around every turn. Make sure you bring extra bright frisbees, because you can spend countless minutes, sometimes up to 15 or 20 minutes searching for them! The scenery is great though. Around this time, there are many wildflowers that grow and it's not too hot this time of year in late January and early February. This appears to be a popular spot for frisbee golf enthusiasts because there were two groups not far in front of us and two groups after us during the midday Saturday before noon. With only 2 people, you can get through games fairly quickly, but with 4 people in our group we let some groups play through since only two of us actually had some skill while the other two didn't. I shall return though! This park offers a difference change of pace and scenery!

    Buffalo Ridge is where it's at. If you're looking for a chill place to come, whether you're ditching your classes at north canyon or you're just a college loser looking to play ball late at night this park is a great place. There are hiking trails and ultimate frisbee thingies so it's really fun and there is a lot to do. If you come here at night some people look kinda sketchy but so are you, you're at a public park at night. Everyone is nice here. Except the police.

    The reviews that are on here are for the frisbee golf course. I don't play, but i do enjoy watching them. I like the park because its so close to home. Our pup pup really likes to walk out there. Many bushes for him to potty on and believe me, he tries to hit them all. He has an amazing bladder, lol Many people also run and the ride their bikes on paths. This is a well respected park, meaning its pretty clean for a desert park, I don't know the golf part etiquette, but you can just tell, that it is taken care of with rock formations and whatnot. Please check out my pictures i posted.

    nice shaded playground with separate play areas for older & younger kids

As not to get towed in the parking lot, I moved to street parking on the other side. Use your UDisc app whenever you can to follow the course. Especially if you're new to the layout. Luckily I met a couple guys that let me join so I could follow the layout easily. I picked up with them at hole 7, playing to 18 and back around to 6. Layout is somewhere pretty easy to follow. Nothing too difficult other than ensuring you don't end up in a few of the water hazards around. I lost (2) discs and watched at least 6 others lose theirs too. I do like the option to throw to the short distance or long distance baskets. The tee boxes do need some work here and there. I do appreciate they show where the locations of the baskets are and their distance. Had a great round, minus the two lost discs to the water monsters. Would throw here again!

    It is fun watching people play disc golf at Vista Del Camino. It is a scenic 18 disc course…read moresurrounded by walkways, mature trees, a few picnic tables and housing. The Paseo Vista disc golf in Chandler, (McQueen and Ocotillo Rds) offers more space at each hole and at various elevations but is not as picturestic as Vista. The creek that runs through the center of Vista is pleasing to see and can be a fun challenge for players. Pedestrians, cyclists and runners are also player obstacles! Enjoy!

    This disc golf course is located in the community of Fountain Hills. The course itself is in…read moreFountain Park and goes around an enormous man made lake. It also boasts a fountain in the middle of the lake that shoots over 300 feet into the air and hosts the pro disc golf tour. The course is free to play and is challenging for every level of player. Besides the water hazard of the lake and the well placed trees. The golf disc chains are located near residential housing, street car traffic and other park goers besides yourself (people walking their dogs, joggers, bicyclists). So you need to be careful on some disc throws not to hurt anything or anybody. Definitely know your game especially your limitations. Being a beginner in the sport. I found the course to be very fun. The large park is very beautiful and well maintained. One of the nicest parks I have ever been to. The locals are very friendly. We had a few people watch my friends and I play with some amusement and weren't afraid to say "hi". Definitely didn't run into any haters of disc golf. To sum it up. One of the best disc golf courses I have ever played on. Play disc golf here.

Great sights, tees, baskets, and very clean are all I could have asked for. Not to mention this park is also family friendly w/ bathrooms, playgrounds, and splash pads. Hands down my favorite course to disc at.
