Ferns Park listed on PDGA Web site

Disc Golf enthusiasts can find 125 California courses listed on the Professional Disc Golf Association's Web site, including John Ferns Park. In fact, disc golfers can find listings for all 50 states. Or... if you're inclined, you can even find course information on such global places as Reykjavik, Iceland - where the Gufunes course has 18 holes for a total of 4,800 feet. Tee types are natural there.

On the PDGA site, potential Disc Golfers can learn that the Ferns Park course was established in 1980. It has nine holes with concrete tees - eight holes under 300 feet and one hole between 300 and 400 feet. It's described as a "City park that is very well manicured. Awesome for rollers!" It has restrooms.

For something a little different, but still close to home, Disc Golf seekers can also find information on the Oxford Circle Park course in Davis - "Nice and short, weaving through small city park. Variety of shots required. *5/08 #7 basket missing."

For rules of the game, you can access the PDGA site or the Disc Golf Association Web site.
