Disc golf returns to Mountain High Resort in Wrightwood this Saturday, May 21. Established in 1999, this marks the course’s 11th year in operation. Disc golf didn’t start in the area until 2001 due to the Angeles National Forest being closed due to fire dangers. The Sky High Disc Golf course will be available Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and Holidays this summer from 12pm to 7pm on Fridays, and 10am to 7pm all other days. Get your disc golf on for just $7.00 for a round and $35.00 for a season pass!
The course was originally designed by Dave Dunnipace, owner of Innova Disc Golf, one of the country’s largest manufactures of discs, baskets, and accessories. It has been remarked as one of the best courses in the nation with its incredible variety and amazing scenic views. Broken into three 9-hole courses, the outing takes you on a 2.5 mile hike through the historic Angeles National forest where players are apt to see hawks, deer, coyotes and more. Snowcapped mountains line the course to the West and long, desert vistas stretch out to the East providing a landscape of scenery only found at 7,000 feet. What more can you ask for when it's summertime in the mountains?
Says Tom Bant, avid disc golfer, “The design of the course is brilliant. Most Southern California courses are found in regional parks but this one has all kinds of variety with long holes, short holes, up hill, down hill, you name it. And it is one of the most beautiful courses I’ve ever played.”
Mountain High hosts a variety of events each summer including the Sky High Showdown in early June, part of the Southern California Disc Golf Tour and the PDGA Tour. These contests regularly sell out so for more information on competitions or the course itself, please call (760) 249-5507. The Sky High Disc Golf Course is located at Mountain High’s North Resort, located just across the road from its main area.
