Named in honor of Shelley Sharpe who died at the hands of a drunk driver in 1982, this approachable length course winds through Vista Del Camino park along and over El Dorado Park creek. Baskets are mismatched with a combination of older DGA baskets and Chain stars. The course is largely open with a chance of disc loss in the creek (which is reclaimed water) or in an adjacent yard. The shared space of the park requires keeping an eye out for other park users. Given the history of this course in disc golf and it being the home for The Memorial, it is a must visit for any disc golfer who visits Phoenix.

The most inflated score I’ve come across on UDisc. This course is nothing special and easily attackable for an experienced player. 18 park style holes that are very repetitive, almost all ranging from 260-340 (nearly every distance listed in UDisc was wrong on the “Main” format). No par 4s let alone 5s. Water comes into play a little bit but is easily avoidable. It’s not much to look at either, and some of the baskets are old/leaning. If you’re visiting like I was, save your time and go to Buffalo Ridge or Fountain Hills instead.

18 for pro layout has wrong tee location and pin is gone atm.
@mnmarquess
Fun to play where the pros play. Not a ton of shot variation, elevation or technicality.

Awesome park golf. Awesome community. You have to play it to believe it 💪🏾

Fun and challenging! Big boy course. Lots of tough holes. Some amazing water Carrie’s and the park is dope. Tee pads aren’t great and the fairways are a dust bowl.
@krunktoten
Nice park course. I didn't like the path in played on so many holes. Also, the layout has a lot of backtracking. It was very busy on the Sunday afternoon I was here so that didn't help. It seemed like everyone was playing a different layout to further complicate play.

Busy park, not alot of parking, nice to see some water holes here as well.. walking path that goes through the park, so there are several people here usually.. biggest complaint I have here is the constant walking backwards to get to the next tee pad.. I just can not stand having to backtrack to the next hole. Also the tee signs could use some updating as well

The memorial, sad I didn’t see terry, wtf! Fun park course with many baskets and tee pads. Bigger arm makes things easier, lost both my water discs I brought.

Over hyped. But awesome that there is a course in the city. Having a pro shop near by us very convenient and all of the people we met were very nice so the community seems to be good. Baskets and tee pads were mostly obvious from udisc but just a little tough to maneuver as a first timer. However the 5 pin postions per hole is probably nice for locals. Tee signs were rough. Tee pads are probably like ice after it rains. They need a nice new sanding.

Very fun 18 hole track. Nice mix of distances & shot shapes. The water does come into play on a few holes, so bring an extra disc or 2 you don’t mind losing. Lived up to the hype. Great course. Only downside is not all distances on UDisc are accurate right now.
@all4damon
Def worth the time. Iconic course and don’t miss Spinners On the Green shop adjacent hole 12.

Awesome course for the Memorial Championship. Very hard, yet fair.

Busy course at 3:00 Thursday
@tomsdiscgolf
Wide open repetitive shots. Lots of pedestrian traffic. Pretty boring. Super busy all day. Played once and moved on.
@dattmtn
Very fun park style course. Very much enjoyed my first play through. Same baskets are leaning a little, signage is faded hard. With multiple pin positions per hole and pro/am pins in place in was a little difficult to tell which pin/distance to shoot since I was solo. Very much enjoyed!
@wallysnowbird
As others have stated, lots of pedestrian traffic, so be confident in your drives. A lot of repetitive shots however still fun. The water can be a bit intimidating for holes 1, 9, 11, and 18.
@travisadams93
Needs new tee pads
@warbow99
Nice course not sure it lives up the the internet hype. Lots of walkers but I would play again if I'm in the area.
