John Mackey Memorial Park — Attraction in Sacramento

The park sure has come a long way since the disc golfers petitioned the city to put the course in. Now, with two tee boxes/hole and four different pin positions, it has much to offer.

This course is flat, deceptively. With big rains, water holds in areas, making o.b's. A small drainage creek/wash makes more o.b. challenge.

We didn't stay to play. The trees are very sparse and so there is very little shade. No drinking fountain. Won't ve...
