Plan your visit

Use Western Gateway Park, 18560 Penn Valley Drive. Course directions place the first tee near the bocce courts and parking past the restrooms.

The operator lists year-round casual play unless the course is reserved. Confirm events and maintenance notices; year-round does not guarantee access on every date.

Choose straight midranges and workable fairways for oak-lined routes. Dogs must stay leashed in the main park.

Choose what to bring

Start with discs you already trust: a putter, a controllable midrange and a fairway driver. Use the course profile to adjust for trees, slopes or an open layout. Pack drinking water, sun protection, a towel and a layer suited to the forecast.

Review your bag or choose a practice session before heading out.

About these guide notes

How are course details checked?

We compare park or operator information with course clubs, PDGA or other independent course listings. Each profile links the sources and dates the review. Where information differs, the profile explains what is known and what to verify. A source review is not an on-site inspection.

Do the weather notes mean the course is open?

No. A forecast describes weather near the course. Operator notices, reservations, seasonal closures and posted signs determine access. Verify those before traveling.

How can I correct a guide or become an ambassador?

Send a correction with the course name, what changed, a date and supporting links. To help maintain a city or course regularly, apply through Course Captains. Applications and submitted updates are reviewed before publication.
