Brengle Terrace DGC Closures this Summer

It’s summertime, and while that means there are more hours of sunlight in the day to play disc golf, it also means there are more people wanting to use our local parks for things other than disc golf.  Brengle Terrace Park in Vista has a great disc golf course, but it is also the jewel of the City of Vista’s collection of parks, so it has many different uses and fills many roles.  What that means for us is that there are times during every summer when the course at Brengle is either partially or totally unavailable for disc golf play.

Here’s an email that the Aces recently received from Rob Johnson, Recreation Manager with the City of Vista that outlines course closures this summer.  Please refrain from playing the course (or specific holes) during these closures:

Greetings, the Moonlight season is upon us as well as some of our special events and wanted to give you a heads up as it will effect some of the course as well as some total course closures.

· Scottish Highland Games – Course closed June 22, 23, and 24

· 4th of July – Course Closed

· Movies in the Park – July 14 and August 11 – Holes closed after 5pm (near and at grass parking lot and above the softball fields – Holes 4, 5 and 5A)

Moonlight Season

June 12 – June 30 (no shows on June 18, 25) Holes closed after 5pm (near and at grass parking lot and above the softball fields – Holes 4, 5 and 5A)

July 17 – August 4 (no shows on July 23, 24, 30, 31) Holes closed after 5pm (near and at grass parking lot and above the softball fields – Holes 4, 5 and 5A)

August 14 – September 1 (no shows on August 20, 21, 27, 28) Holes closed after 5pm (near and at grass parking lot and above the softball fields – Holes 4, 5 and 5A)

September 11 – September 29 (no shows on September 17, 18, 24, 25) Holes closed after 5pm (near and at grass parking lot and above the softball fields – Hole 4, 5 and 5A)

For the hole closures due to Moonlight, we can be flexible until parking arrives.

If there are any other events that occur I will let you know.

Thanks

It is important for the disc golf community to respect these hole closures, if we want to maintain a positive relationship with the City of Vista.  Please find other places to play on those days when the course is closed entirely (June 22-24, July 4).  When the Moonlight shows are going on we need to bypass holes 4, 5 and 5A – and possibly hole 2 if the south side gate is being used by the ticket office.  And on other holes, as always, if you see other park users in the fairway or near a basket DON’T JUST YELL “FORE!”  Someone walking their dog in the park or trudging up the hill to see Phantom of the Opera won’t understand why you’re yelling “fore”.  Wait a few minutes to throw until they have moved along, or walk closer to them and talk (not yell) to them to explain what you’re doing with your discs.

Thanks for your help!!!
