Mt. Waterman

I played here two years ago and am hoping to make my way back here again next week if it’s still open to play? The drive here from Huntington Beach was incredible. The mountains, the views, it was just awesome. There really aren’t many people out this way. It’s very remote. I hiked up the wrong trail to get to the course I was told on Facebook after I played. I parked at the ski left and hiked up. It will get you there, but you might wonder if you can actually make it there going that way. It’s super steep up that path to the left and then just keep going forever. I hear the other way is an easier hike but still long. I’m almost 50 now and it was tough to do. But I’m determined to do it again. Good place to go if I can’t make it. Course was a blast. It’s weird once you get up there. Is any one there? Maybe? Probably not? How do I drive up here? Take a rest because it’s gonna be a long round. Some baskets were missing or the layout listed just wasn’t totally accurate. Oh well. There were still plenty of great shots. Some absolutely exceptional views also. This truly could be one of the best courses in the world with a few people who actually have the time to do the work. Print a map if there is one. Take an atlas if you still own one of those. If you like an adventure and are in shape enough to hike like 7-10 miles at some decent elevation, go for it. You’ll probably love it.

There’s no signage at all and no reception. Also the hike up from the ski lift is pretty steep. But it is absolutely beautiful. If using 2022 layout - Holes 6, 7, 8 and 18 are not there so i would skip them. I recommend loading the course and starting the round on the app before you leave your house so that when you lose reception, at least the map should still show up in the map with your location so you can get an idea of where the holes are. Would definitely play again

One hour hike to get there, several missing or very well hidden baskets and T pads, no signage. But fun to play and worth at least one visit if you're in the area.

Poor course no tee pads of baskets for half of the course wouldn’t recommend this course for anyone

Without any signage it was impossible to know where the holes were, cell reception was sketchy so udisc didn't help much. We threw blind and had to correct once we figured out where the basket was. Don't play if there is a chance that there is snow on the ground, which there currently is. It's impossible. Would like to play it when the ground is clear but unfortunately I was in town now. The hike up was tough with snow on the path, over an hour going up.

Could be a 5 star course with enough attention. Quite an adventure getting here though

The views are spectacular, everything is not!

Beautiful and fun, I loved it but it’s definitely not for everyone. Pad and basket locations not always accurate, the hike up to the start is very difficult, some pads and baskets are completely missing. Also watch out for the wind, it gets intense.

Very beautiful course. The hike up the fire road is long and uphill the entire way. We could only find 14 or so holes. The holes we could find were really fun. It is high altitude and windy so you may lose some discs if they stable up down the mountain. It took a long time to hike and play around 5 hours. I would suggest to check it out for the views but I don’t think I would play again.

Very fun to play, impossible to navigate. I didn’t see a single sign anywhere on the course, and even with UDisc, some pins/tees weren’t were they were marked or didn’t exist at all.

Amazing course but definitely a hike

Just played yesterday. A few baskets missing but still an awesome course. Definitely worth the trek.

@mattellis

Fun mountain! Challenging to get there by foot. Some upkeep regarding the tee pads, directions would have done wonders.

@jescanlon

Coolest course I've played

@zongojr

Tough to access,, and not sure how often facilities are open. Plan to play some time when they have the lifts running. BEAUTIFUL. Many challenging holes.

@acemanbaskets

Would be impossible without the app. Super fun and challenging course with amazing views

@dlsteidle

A very unique disc golf course in SoCal. We played on a Saturday in late April and didn’t see anyone else playing. Definitely need the UDisc app! Not the best tee pads, but I would definitely go back. Don’t walk up under the lift, walk up the fire access route.

@hughmungus

Awesome course. Good 1.8 mile hike up took me 35 minutes gets you good and warmed up. Great elevation and basket placement. UDisc is a must. Keeping this on the list for destination courses

@jermsjustok

Incredible course, unbelievable setting. Make sure to park at the “Mount Waterman Hiking Trailhead” rather than the “Mount Waterman Ski Lift” pull off on Google Maps. We had the whole place to ourselves after a fairly strenuous uphill hike. Lots of snow - about 3 feet deep in places, but fairly icy so mostly able to walk on top of - on 3/19. But magical setting and great hole design. Bring food, snacks, sunscreen, lots of water and waterproof boots. Can’t wait to go back

Best mountain course in SoCal, and very near the best overall. Not for the faint-hearted.
