Even using UDisc could not tell us where the next t pad was and at any moment you could lose a disc due to the foliage.

I wish there was clarity on where the next t pad was or something that helped but otherwise just bring big thick socks and get ready for an unforgiving course.

As far as a disc golf course, it's kinda not that great because it is really hard to tell where the tee's are for the baskets and it is extremely technically challenging do to the hazards that are present on the course, namely, the two ponds and the extreme wind factor. It is incredibly easy to have your shots go errant and fly on to PCH or on to the nearby roads, which is kind of dangerous. It's fine to play, but be prepared to play a very conservative game and maybe some frustration about where the tee positions are in relation to the baskets. If you're just here to chill and picnic though, it's quite nice.

I've been playing disc golf for a little over a year and heard a lot of things about Chavez Ridge,…read moreand most of it warning that it's not beginner-friendly, nor is it for the faint of heart, and I mean that literally because you'll get some really good cardio in just playing this course. Most of the course is on the ridge so you're rarely playing level ground. Wear good shoes. This course favors left-handed and forearm throwers. If you curve too far off to the left on most holes, you'll pay a very steep, and I mean steep price for it. I made sure to bring discs that can be easily replaced because you do have a chance of losing one or two. I'm surprised in a good way by the condition of the course. The tee-pads are rubber and long enough to make a good run-up while you throw, the baskets were all in great shape and there wasn't too much tagging. Really good players could easily play this entire course with mid-ranges and putters. I used my driver quite a bit, but I don't have much arm speed. I did OK. A few birdies, a few pars, and more bogies than I care to admit! It's very easy to get, "Chavezed," which means if your disc doesn't land flat it might decide to roll all the way down a steep hill and into the thick brush. Consider yourself forewarned! (; It's a dry and dusty course, but some of it is in the shade. Don't forget to carry some water. I was there on a Friday morning, with a few players around but not bad. I hear it gets really crowded on weekends. It's a little tricky to navigate. You'll need UDisk to find your way around, and even then it's a bit confusing. I was fortunate enough to join up with a group that knew the course so that made it a lot more fun. I used Google Maps directions: Chavez Ridge Disc Golf Course, Solano Canyon Dr &, Park Row Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90012. It put me really close to the first hole. You pull off the road and park head in. Be sure and use your parking brake! There's no water or restroom on the course. Too bad the city can't pony up for a porta-potty. I'm really glad I played here and I'm glad I waited to play it until I was somewhat ready. I'll be back. It's a great course and there are some spectacular views of LA and Dodger Stadium. This place is one of LA's gems!

If you've haven't been "Chavezed", you ain't livin'!…read more CRDGC plays along the ridge and steep slopes of Chavez Ravine. I'm mostly throwing putters off the tee and the occasional Roc3 or Atlas. That facilitates the tight lines and sticky landings needed here. I've watched many a' card-mate throw too many a faster-speed disc, only to watch it land, edge up and do The Chavez (that inevitable 100'-200' roll aaaaaalllllll the way down the hill). Similarly, 30' putts can bounce off the cage and suffer this fate...that's how steep the slopes are. Throwing mids and putters also helps avoid errant kicks off the trees which, with a higher speed disc will result in disaster here. So, the course is a real workout for your upshot/short game accuracy. I shot -5 (6 birds/1 bog') yesterday afternoon utilizing the above disc mix. Sadly, idiotic vandals have bruised this course pretty badly; Holes #15-18 are completely gone. And many tee signs throughout the course have been graffitti'd over. Abhorrent. On a happier note, new holes have been added; after you finish up the western slope, head up across the intersection to 4 newly added holes. They play up...then down, taking you back to the spot where we've always dropped down to hit the eastern slope's holes. These new holes are challenging - offering the first real chances to throw a faster speed disc and air it out a bit. Many trees have been removed recently due to blight and fire precautions. The pre-blight course was, IMO, more difficult but this newly updated track presents a variety of risk-reward options that still equal a ton of fun. I had a blast. Shout out to the course curators - great work and thank you!

Upon arrival, I came across a couple of people that just finished. They pointed me to the first hole which is right off the street but it's not well marked, except for the short cement launchpad. I've never seen them so short, but still, I'm glad they have them. This is a 12 hole disc golf course. Some holes aren't marked at all. Fortunately, I was able to ask a couple of friendly locals for help and I used an app called UDisc. Even then, I searched for a while to find several launch pads because they weren't marked. One hole had no launch pad at all, just a bent yellow marking pole. You'll need a good imagination to figure out where you should launch your disc from that one. I'm pretty sure the disc golf course is maintained by volunteers so I think they've done a terrific job laying out a great disc golf course and maintaining it as best as they can. Some of the drives are from on top of high hills that will give you chance at some really sweet, floaty drives and you get a great view to go with it. You'll get some decent cardio in walking amongst the hills. Bring a decent pair of shoes for trekking the hills. Unfortunately, there are some signs of vandalism here and there which is a total shame. Didn't expect to see that in Simi Valley. The weeds and brush aren't thick in the hilly part so losing a disc or having trouble locating it is highly unlikely on this course. Also, there's aren't too many trees to hinder your drives or approach shots. It plays pretty well. If you're a seasoned player you'll have plenty of opportunities for birdies and maybe even an ace! There's a nice big grass field to get some practice throws in before you start your round. FYI, there are no restrooms, so keep that in mind. It was a great experience. Definitely worth checking out if you're into disc golf.
