Black Mouse Disc Golf Course

Great Course. Heavily wooded and short with a number of technical and challenging holes. Punishing if you get of the fairway but easy going with consistent play

Great Course, tucked back among redwoods, this is one to check out! Been there twice now, not much for markings on the course but definitely worth the stop on the way from Tahoe to Santa Cruz.

I went to check this place out because my sister lives in Felton and I wanted to introduce her to disc golf. The course is behind the San Lorenzo Valley Middle School at the end of Hacienda Way. It is not open during school hours so you can only play after 3 on weekdays or any time weekends. To get to tee one you climb the stairs to the field and go to the gate on the south side of the field which is on your left at the top of the stairs. At first I was disappointed with the first two or three tees because of the heavy foliage but after that the course clears out a bit and you end up in an awesome redwood forest. The tees are mostly short so it could be good for beginners if you skip the first two or three tees to reduce the chance of lost discs, although my sister was new and we didn’t lose any.

Black Mouse will always be one of my favorites! Where else can you tomahawk a disc in and out of a sea of enormous redwood trees!!! Definately a 1 of a kind course, and a sweet experience!

Once you reach the Middle School, walk up the staircase and through a soccer field and you’ll find the Black Mouse course tucked inside a heavily wooded hillside. The course is in OK shape. Some tees are concrete, others are dirt. Most tees are pretty short. This is a compact and tight course. Most holes are heavily wooded and around 250ft long. Poison Oak & other threatening fauna are an issue here. The markings are virtually non-​existent — my friends and I got lost a couple times and inadvertently skipped a couple holes. Nevertheless, there are some fun challenges here. If I lived near this course, I’d probably play it often.
