A great place for the entire family. A beautiful park where you don't have to drive for hours to…read morevisit. On the weekends, parking is $5. Best to get there early because parking fills up quick. I was there for a BBQ on July 25th, at 10 a.m., and I was able to make parking in the overflow. There's parking on the outside street, but that fills up quick, as well. Anyway, inside the park, there's a long trail that goes all the way around the lake. There's boat rental, either kayak, paddle boat, you can rent a tour boat. I think you can bring your own boat, but it's best to call and make sure. There's BBQ and picnic benches. Volleyball court. A lot of green grass to sit, play sports. There's only one restroom near the boating area, and a few small restrooms if you trek around the lake. There are plenty of hiking trails. There's camping as well. An outdoor Cafe next to the boats. No swimming or wading. You can fish, but I wouldn't eat what you catch. There's warning signs about the water.

So this reservoir was built in 1874 but closed to public, then opened for recreational use in the…read more60s. So the trails around the lake have matured really well. Like most parts of the paved trails are very well shaded from trees that have grown over those years. My dog and I walk for around an hour to hour and a half, so we usually pick west or east from the parking lot and return the same way. I think we've only explored like half of the lake so far. I've seen wild turkeys, deers, rabbits, and ducks around. And if you are wearing overear headphones, you get the natures remix with all the birds and insects chirping.

They recently made some updates to this location since I last tossed discs here (maybe 2 years);…read morethey've created new B tee and A to B tee to basket tosses. They also stopped the river from going through so no more lost discs to the water gods, even when my brother and I went a round in the rain, it was still WAY less water than the last winter I golfed there. Lots of parking and a good variety of holes for a 9 hole, but on the 4th hole you better pick the disc that doesn't veer to the left or you better have your fence climbing shoes on because if it hooks/cuts to the left then it may end up in the infield of the little league field on the other side of a 10' tall fence. It's a quick hop over, but it can be annoying when you put too little spin on it to make the corner. With three holes that are nice and open (with a tree in the way on them) you can feel that you're being challenged enough without thinking it's a cake walk in the park tossing your way through this course.

I had a chance to stop by and play this course yesterday after work. Each basket is marked with…read moreit's hole number on an orange sticker. For those of you who have not been to the facility the course is located at the Ernie Rodrigues softball complex. The first tee box was well marked and you are going to be throwing from dirt tee boxes. Make sure to bring your dirt shoes with some decent sole as you will have to climb up and down a bit. Each hole is marked with a clay tile (with the exception of hole number 6...broken by kids?) that gives you some idea of where the basket is and occasional distance in feet. The holes are not real long but are a definite challenge. Several holes go through trees and really make you have to think about your throws. The baseball fences provide a slight challenge. If your disc goes over a fence, you'll have to walk around to get it as you are not allowed to climb over. No worries because you always throw great, right? All of baskets are brand spankin' new and in great shape. You can see most of them straight from the tee box (i.e. no blind throws). The most challenging holes are #7 and #8. If you have someone playing with you, you will want a spotter on the left side of the hole as right handers will tend to land over there. On #7, I spent about 25 minutes looking for my disc in the berry bushes which have tons of thorns. I was able to find the disc after shredding my legs on the thorns. On #8, there's a creek on the left which caught my driver disc. Luckily, there were people looking for their disc that saw mine dive under some weeds in the water. The course is brand new and will only get better over time. I'm looking forward to going out and trying the course again this weekend. For now I give the course 3 stars. Pros: - Conveniently located for you Livermore Valley wine tasters who like to chuck a disc on the same day - Brand new baskets - Great mix of challenging holes Cons: - Gotta search around a little to find the tee boxes with the pink markers in the dirt and the floor tiles with tee box number. - Some holes (i.e. #3) are a little close to the baseball fences although if you're careful you won't have to walk around. - Nasty thorn/berry bushes on #7 will shred you if you go left There's lots of good info on the Tri Valley Disc Golf Club Facebook site at www.facebook.com/groups/TVDGC/

Course has more holes that reward a RHBH player than LHBH. I played when almost every hole was on its B setting, which is the longer distance. Pros 2-4 pins per hole. Cement tee boxes. 2 practice baskets, but they are not located in an ideal location. DGA Mach V baskets throughout. Decent signage. Many holes have phone holders so you could film yourself teeing off (never seen this before.). Not too crowded, even during a peak time on a holiday. Modest elevation changes. Most of the course is wooded and require shots that navigate through and around tree clusters. Well maintained and still has that newish feeling. Several tee boxes were implemented on a slope and they built them up proper; slightly elevated, with wooden borders. Many holes have comfy wooden seating areas (tons of bowl holes;) Cons Course map needed a couple times to find the next hole. Poison oak is rampant. $6 parking fee must be paid at the lower Chestnut lot closer to the entrance. Bring bug spray, a few holes the mosquitos/gnats were annoying.

There are several different pin variations that are called out on the teepads at each hole. The back 9 are a bit trickier to locate so use U-Disc for assistance. Front 9 are fairly simple shots with lots of trees to get you cursing. The back 9 are a bit longer and more open. If you're a skipper, you won't do much here. In between the front and back 9 there is a location where discs are hungup for lost and found. Enjoy the views and watch out for walkers as they can walk right into your drive. FOOOOOOOOOOOOOURRRRRRRRRR!

This is a (somewhat) hidden gem within Golden Gate Park! It is a full, 18-hole disc golf course…read more Some people call it frisbee golf, however don't show up with a regular frisbee if you don't want to look like a noob. If you are a noob, that's ok. Just be respectful, and know there's a specific etiquette expected while playing. Similar to golf, you tee off with your disc, then keep shooting until you putt into the pin (basket). Grab some discs online or at a local shop before heading out! The course is perfectly nestled inside the park, near Marx Meadow and across from Lindley Meadow. There is a starting point with a hole #1, make sure you don't hop on somewhere in the middle. The course is maintained by the Club, and they do a great job of keeping it up and even adjusting the pins. Each hole has 3-4 potential pin locations, and the current one is marked on the little sign near the tee pad. Some of the pins are hard to see from the tee box, so it's helpful to be familiar with where you're shooting before you lose sight of your disc. It's super easy to lose a disc in the bushes or trees if it goes off path, so make sure you always keep an eye on your disc. Bright colors are always helpful when spotting lost discs. This course holds weekly and annual tournaments. The weekly doubles are on Tuesday, and singles on Sunday morning. People bring adult beverages and partake in the smoking of both cigarettes and cannabis. They recently removed trash receptacles at the holes, so whatever you pack in, plan to pack out. This goes back to being respectful of the course and land, don't litter or destroy anything. The lines can get pretty long if it's a weekend and the weather is nice, so anticipate a wait. If you go early or during non-peak hours, you can make it through the full 18 pretty quickly!

TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. Course manager and maintanence crew stood around greens for 10-15 minutes as…read morewe waited to tee off. After 15 minutes they finally acknowledged us and told us to play. Not wanting to risk hitting them or their dog we asked if they wanted us to skip this hole or wait. They responded saying to just shoot at them. Realizing how ridiculous this was we just skipped the hole and went to the club house for a refund. At the club house the same club manager spoke to us and made sexist remarks to my partner how we should have just shot at them and that my partner wouldn't have reached them anyway. Unacceptable behavior and etiquette from a course manager who should know better than to insult his patrons and not be courteous of players who don't want to have to aim at players that are on the greens.

One of the marshals (an older white man) in a golf cart approached my group aggressively, claiming…read morewe were "going too slowly." This accusation came from a man two holes away who shouted at us, even though our group was consistently being mindful of our pace and following proper etiquette by waiting until the group ahead had cleared the fairway before taking our shots. The marshal then began yelling at us for not having our own full golf sets, as if that was a legitimate reason for holding up play (wouldn't it make us faster if anything?). It was clear he was just looking for a reason to yell at us. In short, come to this golf course if you want to lose your ball in overgrown grass and get yelled at by angry strangers.

Almost every hole is a blind throw from the tee (which to some extent is expected but this was a special level of nonsense), poorly marked holes and none existent support to next tees. I felt the overall course was poorly maintained. The only assistance I noticed were white poles that seemed to be markers that you are on the right path like a cairn. This could be confusing depending on holes that overlapped each other on course though. The terrain is wild long grass with poison oak scattered everywhere. There are potholes all over the course with very little well trodden paths to follow around. To some extent the wild portion of the terrain is what it is, so of course this is just FYI cause I don't expect rangers to be maintaining the whole hillside/mountain area. I didn't expect it to be easy; but as a newbie it was more than challenging and a bummer. Even my mister who's a great player found the course disappointing overall. For this area it is not where I'd recommend someone go.

Luckily on a busy Sunday there were enough people playing that I could ask. Once getting to hole one, I saw there was no map or markers on the course. Again, luckily for the amount of people playing, I could see where the basket was. After hole one, the course was pretty easy to follow. Maps can be found on the remaining tees. It shows the distance of each basket. However there are four possibilities for each hole and not each basket is easily seen from the tee. Def good to walk the course or play with someone your first go around. Not much for OB, only a couple mandy. Not many trash cans on the 9 hole course. Lots of trees and poison oak. Good course to sharpen your skills.
