Huntington Beach Disc Golf Course,
a mix between Frisbee and Golf,
is one of the first courses built in
the United States. Located next door
to the Equestrian Center and
across the street from Central
Library in Central Park West,
this course begins on a hilltop near
Golden West Street and takes players
through shaded fields adjacent to
the horse facility. In
existence for over 20 years in
Huntington Beach, recent
improvements such as a pro shop with
disc sales & trade ins, soft drinks
and a portable rest room are worth
the minimal fee for all day play.
Two-round tournaments are held the
first Saturday of each month. Action
begins at 10 am, all divisions
invited.
This Frisbee golf course is considered by
some to be the most beautiful disc golf course in Southern
California. Overlooking Lake Huntington and only a few miles
from the beach, there course consists of 5,400 feet of play
space that can expand to 6,100 feet for tournament play. It
is an 18 holes or basket course that starts on a hilltop
adjacent to Golden West Street across from the new
Huntington Beach Sports Complex and winds down dirt paths to
partially-shaded fields. Designed by Ed Headrick, disc golf
founder in 1977, it features a pro shop, porta-restroom,
snacks and soft drinks. The pro shop sells and trades Innova
discs primarily.
The rules of disc golf are quite similar to golf but instead
of hitting a ball with a club, players throw their discs
toward a target basket which is made of metal and looks
somewhat like a short version of a circular clothes line.
Each disc course has determines par and or number of throws
to start from tee-off and end with your Frisbee in the
basket. Putters and drivers are used in a similar manner to
golf course play.
Two-round tournaments are held on the first Saturday of each
month beginning at 10 a.m. All divisions are welcome. In
addition, a weekly amateur league meets Wednesday
afternoons. Huntington Beach Disc Golf Course is located in
beautiful Huntington Central Park, 18381 Golden West Street
(714) 425-9931. Course pro is Jerry.
Fee: $1-$2.50, under 16 years-old free
