Was in the area and just had to play at least one hole at the birthplace of disc golf. But I didn't have any discs with me. I ask a couple guys that were playing if they knew anywhere close by I can buy one. I tell them my story and one dude offers to sell me one of his old discs. Sweet! He explains to me that he doesn't even play as much anymore I'm about to pay the friendly fella $20-$25 for well used destroyer. Would never buy it except for this instance. And here comes other dude. Starts haggling and making stories up about discs without flight numbers. Says "that's like a $60-$70 disc" WTF Friendly dude offers to just let me use a disc to throw one hole I have no idea how this new disc flies so I go forehand on hole one and my nerves get to me. I severely under throw it. My next throw was much better and the one after that gives me a twenty foot putt that I miss Overall, I wish I could get a full round here with my discs. Looked like a course that I could do well at One day read more

This is hallowed ground for a disc golfer since it's the first permanent disc golf course in the world. Truthfully, I've enjoyed other courses more, but I'm still glad I was able to play at such a legendary course. I played in the middle of the summer, which means summer camps caused the closure of some of the holes. It was a hot, dry, and dusty day but I enjoyed every minute of it. It was a challenging course that required a good variety of shots to make par. I was sub-par most of the time, but I sure had fun trying! I used the Udisc app to navigate. Even then we had difficulty finding the proper tee pad and basket on several holes. We also had to wait for day campers, park goers, and horseback riders passing through where we needed to throw on several holes. I'd like to come back and play here in the fall and winter when it's not so hot and more of the holes are open. read more

I flicked the frisbee across the sunlit field. The playful pink rhinoceros charged, leaping with surprising grace to snatch it mid-air. "Nice catch!" Jesus laughed. The rhino spun in victory, tail wagging. "Again?" it snorted. Jesus nodded. "Always." The game of divine disc-throwing continued, echoing joy across the heavens. read more

Oak Grove Disc Golf Course - Disc Golf Near Me - La Cañada Flintridge, California

This is a beautiful course that is challenging without being aggressive. None of the holes are ridiculously long but long enough to challenge players along with the multitude of trees. This is a 23 hole course that is broken down into four sections. The first hole begins by the baseball Diamond right off of the parking lot. The first holes go around the baseball field and are the prettiest of them all. They start off a bit short but three and four are longer. The next two holes you must then go up the hill for up by the upper parking lot. This is the confusing part. Highly recommend using UDisc or following a group to see where to go next. After completing a few holes above you come back down. 7 is sort of near where 4 ended. I have seen people full on skip 5 and 6. 7 and 8 go around the other side of the baseball Diamond to bring you back to the parking lot. 8 is a long one (but has 2 t's). Everything from 9 plus zig zags around a large patch of wood. Again,highly recommend UDisc or else it's easy to get lost since the t pads aren't numbered correctly. Parking: big lot next to the baseball diamond. All in all will definitely come back! read more

Oak Grove Disc Golf Course - Hole 13 - Disc Golf Near Me - La Cañada Flintridge, California

We're all looking for new outdoors activities these days. May I recommend Disc Golf? Disc golf, for the uninitiated, is basically golf with Frisbees. It's a sport that was invented by Canadians in the early 1900's, is played in 40 different countries, and has its own professional association. I'm guessing it's called disc golf rather than Frisbee golf because the Frisbee (a plastic disc) was actually not invented until 1957. My son has used this disc golf course several times with his friends and enjoyed it a lot. As an observer, the course has a gorgeous location under the oaks and is well maintained. There are plenty of picnic tables nearby. Parking is free. There does not seem to be any admission fees whatsoever, so grab your friends and some Frisbees and enjoy! Perhaps the perfect pandemic pastime. (Per Yelper Brent K, the course may be closed when a tournament is in progress, so check with the Professional Disc Golf Association if you're traveling from afar.) read more

Oak Grove Disc Golf Course - Disc Golf Near Me - La Cañada Flintridge, California

Disc golfers ruin this park with their aggressive playing and behavior. Dangerous for pedestrians, horses, runners because the disc areas are not marked. Easy to walk into the throwing path and get hit by one of these bums. read more

It's the oldest disc golf course in America and is a really fun one to boot. 24 holes and you get quite a trip through the park. You go through the woods, up the hill to a general park area and then head out to a desert area. Has a nice mix of long courses and some narrow ones. The people around were great being very helpful with stuck frisbees. Only point is that you should download the map of the course ahead of time. Where the next hole is is not always intuitive at all. Getting to hole 5 requires a long hike up and there are no indicators around of where to go. I just semi-remembered from the last time I played. Similarly hole 18 we walked out 50 yards from the tee box and couldn't find the hole. It made a surprising left turn from the teebox that we never would have found if it wasn't for the person behind us. Most of the other holes are close enough it's not a huge deal but getting to 5 from 4 and 7 from 6 are near impossible without the map and 18 you can't see the hole from the box. Figure those out before you go for optimal enjoyment. Or hike around it's a nice park after all. read more

Awesome 18 hole disc golf course right across the street from La Canada high school. Lots of parking available. Lovely park. Not crowded on a Monday :) A few of the holes were missing signs so it got a little confusing at the end, but it's a lovely park. And it's free. Highly recommended for a stroll in the park! read more

This review is from a complete novice to the sport of Frisbee (disc) golf. I own one pink putter and borrow drivers for now. I've only been here twice but I do enjoy it (more so, when I don't see snakes). My son joined us my first time here and he really had a great time. This past weekend was my second time playing on this course. I certainly need to be out here A LOT more so I can get in some practice and work on some technique but it's definitely a great atmosphere to spend some time outdoors having fun. This course is the first permanent disc golf course in the world, which is super cool. Many moons ago my Mom had a friend who was into Frisbee golf but I'm not exactly sure where or if we ever played a round with him anywhere. I'm often amazed at the guys out here and just how talented they are, and ladies this is surely no sport to shy away from. I see a lot of women out here as well and I've heard some of them in the tournaments hosted here are pretty amazing. Like I said, for now I don't know much about the sport. We go out, have fun, practice and even tend to skip baskets here and there but you can expect to be out here for at least a couple hours. There are around 18- 22 baskets (which are often moved) and I believe Par is 3 on all of them which just astounds a newbee like me. I laugh that it takes at least 3 shots for me to even see the basket from the Tee. I'd suggest bringing water, snacks, sunscreen, a hat, closed toed shoes. Music is always a nice option as well. Great place for the guys, couples, friends, families, professionals and even beginners. I look forward to visiting this place a lot more often. read more

Good place to play. The course is a little difficult to navigate but people there were super helpful. There was an event going on so we had to follow the adjusted course. read more

Drove out from AZ to play a round with my kids. Facebook said the next event wasn't until Oct (3 months). Imagine our disappointment when we drive up to a sign that says the course is closed - tournament in progress. read more

This place is so cool. It's pretty unorganized, but once you get it figured out (and don't be afraid to ask other golfers who would be happy to help) it's wonderful. It's challenging and scenic. It's also the first disc golf course ever read more

Needs more lights and better maps, seriously it's a little difficult to follow the holes on both the front and back. That being said, I can't complain about anything else. There is ample parking all over the park, we always park up top and walk down to the course, a little warm up before we start. The goals are fairly easy to spot and fairly easy to hit. Although it takes me a few extra throws to get mine in there. This is a great place to get together with a group of friends over the weekend and do something free. Which is a rare occasion in one of the most expensive cities in the U.S. I am surprised that this course isn't busier than it is, considering its one of two in the county. If you're at all like me you'll end up losing a disc or two in the trees, but often one will fall out of the darkness and depth of the limbs to replace the one I lost. Going this weekend for round one of a tournament started by a close friend of mine. I hope I'm not the worst, but I'm not going to hold my breath. read more
