of the Top of the World

Steve and Teague, who joined me on my adventure for their own vacations, are also big fans of the game of disc golf. I think that without reservation I can speak for them when I say that De La Viega in Santa Cruz, CA is the most amazing course any of us has ever played. Twenty-seven holes up and down the foothills provide all the challenge and grandueur that a disc golfer could ask for. The course has a propensity for swallowing discs, since sheer cliffs, gaping chasms, and heavy woods are to be found on many of the holes, but a disc or two is a small price to pay for the incredible experience of playing this course. The final hole is the reward for any moments of frustration and anguish from losing a favorite disc. Gazing down the foothills and across the bay before taking a shot on the most difficult disc golf hole I have ever encountered takes one’s breath away.Top of the World
