| The
Heilmann Regional Disc Golf Course |
Heilmann
was the first 18 hole disc golf course in SLO
County. Located in Atascadero (15 miles North
of San Luis Obispo on Hwy 101) at about 1300 feet
in elevation, Heilmann's inland location shelters
it from the ocean fog and wind. The course winds
its way through a dense oak and weeping willow
forest. Most of the baskets are positioned on
slopes or drop-offs. Weather is cool in the fall,
winter, and spring (highs in the 70's), but it
will routinely reach the 100 mark throughout the
summer. There aren't any water hazards, but there's
a little bit of OB over the chain-link fencing
surrounding the park.
The course is slightly above moderate on distance
and virtually every hole is reachable (depending
on configuration)... but the lines are narrow
and the trees are sticky, so Double-Bogeys tend
to find their way into your game.
The park is not only beautiful; it also contains
tennis courts, basketball courts, scattered BBQ
pits, and horseshoe pits.
OPEN CONTAINERS ARE ALLOWED... BYOB! |

Laguna
Lake 18 Hole Disc Golf Course
(18
Baskets! Temporary Tees) |
Long, short, windy, and grassy, Laguna Lake
has it all - truly a course that defines
"Risk and Reward..." Featuring
tight fairways, technical upshots, technical
putts, and O.B.s. Winding along the shores
of Laguna Lake, the course plays in and
amongst the wooded areas scattered throughout
the park.
Hole #1 is located by the lake, near the path,
and facing Madonna Road. Hole #10 is by the boat
launch and parking area at the end of park road.
(After the 550ft. Hole #9).
The park is not only beautiful, but also has a
playground, drinking water, a dog park, scattered
BBQ pits, hang gliding, fishing, and boating (gas-powered
motors and swimming are not allowed). |

| Sinsheimer
Park 9-Hole Disc Golf Course |
Sinsheimer:
the first Disc Golf Course within SLO city limits!!!
Finished in October 2004 as a SLOThrower and PYD
original; there are 9 holes, 20 different basket
positions (that change frequently!), tee pads,
benches, drinking water, baseball, BBQs, horseshoe
pits and the YMCA. All the holes are relatively
short and each is in close proximity to the next...
SO HEADS UP!!! In general, the course is fairly
easy compared to most respectable courses, but
the routine heavy winds and steep drop-offs near
every basket can make for an interesting round.
The beauty of this course lies in its cool temperatures
at all hours of the day, in the fact that around
three times a week the stadium lights at the softball
games shed enough light on the entire course to
make for a fun night round (though the park closes
at 10pm), and in the fact that Sinsheimer is right
in the middle of the best part of SLO. If you
want to play a quick round, Sinsheimer is perfect.
BE ADVISED: OPEN CONTAINERS ARE NOT ALLOWED. |
