Open and Fun Front, with an Advanced and Technical Back.
Description
The Merced disc golf course offers a fantastic experience, especially for beginners, with the first 12 holes set in a picturesque park setting. The front course presents players with interesting challenges, including mandatory shots, big trees, and narrow tee shots. 32 total brand new cement pads located throughout the soon to be 27+ hole design. Currently have 26 holes with Mach VII's.
In some sections of the course, particularly the front, be aware that grassy areas are prone to flooding during watering season or rainy weather, so plan your game accordingly.
As you progress to the back 16 holes, you'll encounter a more challenging and technical experience. These holes feature an increased number of water hazards, an abundance of trees, and longer fairways where out-of-bounds rules come into play. Additionally, there's the occasional presence of pond and creek water hazards during heavy rain or snowmelt, making precision even more vital.
Excitingly, the course has completed its expansion to a DGA Mach 7, 28-hole layout in 2025, with plans for general signage, tee signs, and much more. These enhancements will further elevate your disc golf experience on this remarkable course.
It's crucial to maintain a sense of community and respect the local housing, so refrain from attempting to retrieve discs that may find their way into nearby yards. As players, we take on the role of park stewards and must ensure the area remains pristine for everyone to enjoy. Please be mindful of this responsibility and utilize the provided trash cans or, even better, pack out any trash you bring in.
*Restrooms are only on site during events so please plan accordingly. Target, AM/PM, and some restaurants are located just around the corner.
