Hello All,
I recently became a member and I’m interested in playing doubles at the courses in and around SD. Unfortunately I have no idea how to get involved or which of the games are played i.e. best shot, worst shot… Etc. or how/if the selection for teams goes. I’m newish to the game and have never played doubles. Any advise would help.
Hey Ethan,
We have doubles leages as follows:
Saturday 9AM @ Kit Carson
Monday 5PM @ Montiel
Tuesday 5PM @ Kit Carson
Wednesday and Friday at Montiel (check on morleyfield.com for times and details)
The doubles leagues at Kit Carson and Montiel are randomly selected best shot doubles. We divide the group into two categories (A and B) based upon skill level and always randomly match one A and one B player together. This allows everyone the chance to win. Doubles cost $5 to play. It is a great way of learning the rules of the game and meeting people that play the game.
I am wondering if anyone has a way to contact Wes Dorffi about playing the Dorffi Back Forty

I live in the San Diego County Estates and was speaking to the recreation department about a disc golf course.
. They told me that they tried to put one in before but S D County fees were too high… Looking for help / ideas.

Darrell,
Please email me with the details and information and I will be happy to assist you(mtv@alum.wpi.edu).

Hi San Diego Ace Club Members! My name is Jonathan and I started playing Disc Golf last year in January. I Love This Sport and I am getting better at it. This is my first year being a member of this great organization. I signed up mid January and received tag number 201. I played with some people at Morley Field and won tag number 56! Unfortunately I had a rematch and had to defend it and lost so I got back my 201 tag. The sad thing is that I somehow lost my tag at Morley Field about 2 weeks ago! It may have fell out my bag or maybe someone took it from my bag while I was at the P-hole(Hope not!) If anyone seen or knows what I can do to get it back please let me know! I wish I had a tag still and I want more challenges! Thanks! Happy Disc Golfing!
Good to see you love throwing. If you got that tag last year, 2011, then that would be what you finished the year with. Hopefully someone turns it in to the pro shop. To challenge people in 2012 you need to buy a 2012 tag. Same deal, $20 for a disc and tag.
Mast Park in Santee needs an 18 hole course. I was looking for course sites on Google Earth and thought Mast Park, behind Walmart, would be an excellent location. Some trees, next to the river, some open dirt areas and it’s already park land. It is only a couple of blocks away from the newly completed 52 freeway and the 125 freeway. Grossmont College would be just up the hill about 2 miles from there. That would help draw in lots of new players and spread the word more quickly about disc golf. Putting a course next to a local community college would light up the social networks. It would be a nice place for a third South course, Morley in North Park, Sun Valley in La Mesa and Mast Park in Santee. Santee has a better climate than El Cajon with all that heat and smog. Morley and Sun Valley are too busy and there is usually a wait at the first tee to start. There are atleast 5 courses in North County with another coming to Vista. We’re ready here in East county for our first course.
Thank You,
Shawn Ludlow
Found an aces stamp leopard last week at Morley. It dosent have a name on it so Tell me the weight and color then and I can give it back.
Hi San Diego Aces,
Has anyone ever been to Harry Griffith Park behind Grossmont High School in La Mesa? There is a section of the park in the back that I never see anybody using. It would be a great section of the park to make nine holes. Has anyone ever looked into this? East County San Diego needs another place to play that is FREE like North County. Just a thought!
Neil
Hey,
I couldn’t find the registration for the Goal Hill monthly on DiscGolfU.com. Are you still having a monthly on the first Sunday of September?
Hi Matt,
T.J. Cruz has posted on the Aces facebook page and the Goat Hill page that he is running the September monthly at Goat Hill. His e-mail address is listed above. Check with him on how he is handling registration.
I just moved out here from Austin and I was wondering if you had to be a member to participate in the Saturday doubles and other local stuff? Looking forward to playing some Cali courses.
Hi Daniel,
You do not need to be a club member to participate in any of the weekly doubles events – just come out (with $5) and play! Also – if you like tournaments, one of the best local tournaments of the year is the Sun Valley Open this weekend. Sign up now!!
in the area for the week, need to pick up a putter. What shops are local to Mira Mesa, or Balboa or Kearney Mesa etc…
Thanks
Hi Jamie – There are no disc-specific stores in Mira Mesa or Kearney Mesa, but all of the big-box sporting good stores around here carry Innova discs, so you should be able to get an Aviar. If by Balboa you mean the area around Balboa Ave, see the previous sentence. If you mean Balboa Park (Morley Field) then the Morley Pro Shop is your best bet – they have the best selection in town.
If you’re in North County, the SDSF Skate Shop at Kit Carson Park carries several different brands, and the pro shop at Goat Hill Golf Course in Oceanside carries Innova and DGA.
Happy Hunting!
Greetings, can you guys please check something for me.
I went to the registration website to sign up for the Sun Valley Open.
I signed up for MA1 = $50
I am not PDGA = $10
I am not SoCal = $5
Service Charge = $4.50
my total charge should be $69.50
when I go to checkout it is giving me a final charge of $79.50 and there is a “Custom Fee” of $15.00
Is the website charging me $10.00 twice b/c I’m not PDGA, once in the PDGA fee and again in the SoCal fee?
Otherwise, where does the additional $10.00 come from?
Thank you
Hi Hawk – The San Diego Aces do not run the Sun Valley Open, so the club does not know the details of how the registration web site is set up. There should be contact information for the tournament director (David Parnell) on the registration web site. He’s the person who can answer your questions.
Hey guys,
i live in st.louis missouri and im coming out to play the goat hill event, but i cant get ahold of anyone with info!!! Id love to test my skills against the pros is cali =) Thanks!

Hi Corey – check out the tournament registration page at: http://www.discgolfunited.com/disc-golf-tournaments/tournament-dashboard.cfm/tourn_id/213
This should answer most questions, and it also has the TD’s e-mail address and phone number. He’s the best person to ask questions of.
i was wondering, do i have to be signed up for pdga in order to be member of san diego aces?
No, you do not. While the Aces are an affiliate club with the PDGA, you do not need to sign up for the PDGA in order to be an Aces member.
My 12 year old son loves playing disc golf, so I was looking for some kind of youth organization, club, team, etc. for him to play with – do you know of any in San Diego? I see a link to a youth disc golf association on your website, but when I click on it, it doesn’t go anywhere. I’d appreciate it if you could provide me with any info you might have. Thank you!
Just a quick hello to the community. I am moving to Carlsbad from Conifer Colorado (outside of Denver) – avid player – but not a pro by any stretch. Looking forward to meeting everyone and getting involved. Looking for folks to play with and help me navigate the local courses – eves and weekends.
Andy
Hi Andy – Welcome to San Diego disc golf! As you can see by our lead article, we have 6 courses in San Diego County, the closest to Carlsbad will be in San Marcos (3 to choose from) and Escondido. Morley Field in San Diego’s Balboa Park is a great course with a long and storied tradition, and Sun Valley in La Mesa (farthest from you) hosts one of our area’s favorite PDGA tournaments, the Sun Valley Open.
The San Diego Aces sponsor doubles at Kit Carson Park on Saturdays @ 9am and Montiel Park Mondays @ 5:15pm – everyone is welcome. There are also weekly doubles leagues at Morley Field, which also holds a long-running monthly tournament on the third Saturday of each month.
Please consider joining the San Diego Aces club – you can do so on this web site or in-person with a course representative (like me). The Aces have helped pay for the two most recent 18-hole courses in the area (Kit Carson Park and Cal State San Marcos)
Welcome!

I am a North County tag holder… Me and my buddies are wondering what is it gonna cost to sponsor a hole at Kit Carson Park… or do you just need cement??
George from Escondido
Hey George,
Contact Ryan Meyer at ryanmeyer@wolfpacksigns.com with questions about Kit Carson sponsorship or how you can help with the installation.
Allen
Hey Guys,
Does the your club or any other DG organizations here in S.D. ever put on any clinics? I’m looking to get back into DG after not playing for the last 2.5-3 years since moving here from South Lake Tahoe where I used to play a moderate amount. Never really put much effort into bettering my technique & results but would like too now. Also, anyone know any good locations to practice drives near 4S Ranch/Poway? I’m still looking around but all the fields I’ve found so far near me aren’t open to walk on’s all the time. Most of them are schools.
Any help would be appreciated.
Mark
Hey Mark,
I live in Poway as well. There are quite a few parks around Poway that are large enough to practice your driving at. Hileary Park off Community, Starridge Park off of Carriage Rd, Garden Road Park off of Garden Road, and Sabre Springs park. Granted, none of these are terribly close to the 4S ranch side of town.
Hope this helped!
Adam
