Dogs! Unleashed dogs!…read more My complaint is not about the disk golfers. They are great! They are alway polite to a fault. If you need to walk by where they are playing? They actually stop and wait for you to pass. I've had that happen many times. My complaint is about people with their dogs. I had another incident with someone who didn't honor the leash law. Small, but a reminder that I can't go to this park with my small dog. It's just not safe for him and it might not be for me either. I don't know these dogs who are loose. Well, at least I wasn't jumped on by a large dog, like last time. That was pretty bad and the dog did hurt me. What if that had been a small child? So, my second incident... I actually saw a woman walk out of the park, leaving her dog inside the park, to choose whether to follow her or come towards me and my 10 pound dog. There's a walkway, back into the adjoining neighborhood. This was not through the parking lot. The medium sized dog, maybe 40-45 pounds, was anxious as to which way to choose. He/she started to come towards us. I mean... honestly! She would no doubt defend her actions by saying her dog is friendly... ...yadda, yadda. Point is, THERE IS A LEASH LAW THAT IS ***NOT HONORED!*** People who don't leash their dogs here are growing in this park. No one does! And because no one does, everyone seems to think it's ok. It isn't! It's not ok. While a large dog might be friendly, they can pounce on a small dog and injure it. Or a small child! If your dog is unleashed, it's out of your control and that's the point. The whole thing makes it near impossible to use this park. It's in my neighborhood so that just should not be. I'm still giving this 4 stars though because of the gold disk guys... they are mostly guys. They're great. ...

What a fun and challenging course! If you like playing amongst the trees, you'll find yourself…read moresurrounded by plenty here! The good thing is they mostly aren't the kind of trees where your disc will easily get stuck in them, but you will find yourself continually "tree-nied" if you don't carefully place your shot. I managed to hit trees on almost every hole, but the trees are tall and mighty so no damage done by my discs o' plastic. On the front nine, it's not easy to get a good drive because of all the trees, but on the back nine, you can let 'em rip. I like that the concrete launch pads are good and wide. It was a little difficult to navigate at times, especially on the back nine. One of the holes (I think it was 12) had no marking post at all and just some faint paint on a path for the launching pad. It was the only hole without a launchpad. We met a really friendly local who saw us wandering around and handed us a map of the course. Very cool!! We were there at 7:30 AM on a Wednesday. There were a few groups playing but not many. I'd imagine it could get pretty crowded as the day goes on. The eighteenth hole basket was surrounded by a big puddle of water so we skipped the putt on that one. No biggie, I would have probably missed my putt anyway! The course is in great shape for the most part and you'll spend most of your time in the shade. All good! Park in the library parking lot off of Studebaker.

Not impressed. The campus is pretty but light posts are lame. It's not always easy to see polls,…read morepeople are regularly around, and it's hard to know where to tee up.

Southern California disc golf has its roots deep here at UCI. UCI hosted the 1979 World Frisbee…read moreGolf Championship (watch a clip of it here : http://youtu.be/HwG9psXsOMs) where temporary baskets were laid out to form an 18 hole course. Over time, the course and the area where the course is laid out has gone through many changes. While not recognized by the disc golf community as being a destination course, a handful of old timers, college kids, and area golfers keep the UCI course alive and remembered. As of 2013, the course has no real representation through social media and other disc golf outlets (DGCoursereview.com doesn't even list it). It's a course that is usually passed by word of mouth. Besides a simple website (listed above) that features info on the course and maps of the courses' layout, there's little information out there. There are no signs, no maps and no information at the campus besides faded arrows pointing you to the next pin location. This is definitely an "insiders" course. Perhaps the biggest reason why this course isn't a huge draw for disc golfers is the fact it's a pole target course. There are no baskets. Mind you that target courses were used back in the 60s before the "pole hole" basket was invented by Ed Headrick (an original basket can be found at Oak Grove DGC in Pasadena, the first permanent course in the world). Here's how it works : there are a total of three 18 hole courses laid out and around UCI's Aldrich Park. The first 18 holes are represented by light poles with white tape wrapped around it. The second 18 holes are represented by black tape and the third set of 18 are represented by green tape. There is also a 9 hole "playoff" course represented by red tape. This makes a total of 63 holes. Tee pads are represented by small painted arrows (or in some cases dots). Many are faded and sometimes hard to see. Light poles can also be used as more than one pin location, as you will see multiple color tape on those poles. I managed to only play the first 18 holes before having to leave for a family get together, but I must admit that playing here was really fun (especially if you can get a group together...I played with 8 people). The fact that the campus is so quiet on a Sunday morning makes for a pleasant experience. I was skeptical about shooting at light poles (how fun is that?) but it made you really focus your putting. I can see that playing this course would make you hone in on your mid range game and putting, since you're aiming for something quite thin in size. Also another interesting side to playing here is the fact that buildings come into play sometimes. Also love the fact that there are some elevation throws too. A few other key points about playing at UCI : - If you're a first time player of the course, I STRONGLY SUGGEST coming out with a local who at least somewhat knows the layout of the course. I ended up playing with someone who pretty much grew up playing here with his dad. Since the park is a huge circle, getting lost from hole to hole would be quite easy to do if you're a newbie. It will save you a ton of time playing with someone familiar with the course layout. - Being how this is a large university, I would suggest playing here on weekends...although my buddy says playing here during the week is do-able. Keep an eye out for people walking, jogging, riding bikes and other various activities along the pathways. - Pretty much any ivy patch and or ice plant (http://projects.trnerr.org/invasives/assets/templates/plants/picts/carpobrotus_edulis1.jpg) is out of bounds, unless the light pole is in a patch. Bushes and other plants are safe. - Please keep a low profile when playing here. In other words, respect the rules of the university. It would be very easy for the university to eliminate any signs of a course being here if they see it was a draw to "bad elements". We want this course to be around (and maybe return to glory) for a long, long time. Please respect it and enjoy it.
