Schenley Park

"Very technical woods area"

"Can’t find all rhe blue tees "

"So many roll aways"

"Would love a basket to practice putt with at the start but overall a great course"

"Lovely short technical course that’s good for newcomers and experienced players alike. "

"Lots of people but such a pretty course. Be prepared to wait and have fun!"

"Too many people but good course"

"Great park but lot of people and other disc golfers. Beautiful course and scenery. Not too difficult for any level"

"I played blues and Mann was it hard to follow, especially in the wooded area. "

"Busy but really fun. Back 9 are pretty much all wooded. White tees are the most used and all clean, some of the reds are covered with leaves and finding the blues would be a fun scavenger hunt. Overall great use of space but watch for others as they tend to throw and give little to no warning, poor etiquette. "

"Meh. "

"Little muddy "

"Best disc golf course in the Oakland neighborhood of Pittsburgh. Great view of the city. Always tons of people there to play with. Try some slack lining when you’re done with your round. "

"Busy but lots of fun"

"Very fun par 3 course. Only thing to note is there are spots where you are crossing lines or throwing to baskets near other tee pads so it can be a bit more difficult if you are just learning. "

"Great variety of challenges once you get into the woods. Several uphill holes and down hill shots. Tight lines included. It was very muddy today but hey, 66 degrees in December. "

"Little mud but very playable"

"Fall is nice up here at park. Lots of leaves in the woods. Challenging tee shot in the woods. Field nice and open cross winds almost always in play. Hole 5 & 18 grass can be very wet and slippery. I enjoyed my rounds every time I play. "

"Hey if you lost a pink star destroyer on the 2nd basket I put it in the lost and found on 17. I love this course. I will always play it when I'm in Pittsburgh!!"

"Pretty straightforward course. Good mix of short and long holes. Lots of trees to watch out for."

"Nice beginner course to bring significant others"

"It would be a plus if the course showed which tee option was set up. Also could use a more next hole indicators but overall a very nice course. I’d give it a 4.5 if I could. "

"Great course for beginning and seasoned players, short but a lot of fun. Interacts with a busy park in a carefully thought out way. "

"Hilly and short"

"Fun park. Was in town for the weekend. Very cramped, especially on the back 9, and very crowded. Well kept though. "

"Beautiful park! First time in PA. "

"definitely a little crowded with all the holes being in such close proximity to each other but ends up being a good use of the space "

"Pray to treesus "

"Very fun and challenging course. Wooded holes especially packed a punch on the slight incline!"

"Tremendous "

"Packed. Walked from 18-1 is long. Delightful layout even thought the holes are on top of each other. Blue tees are hard to find, but sign hole numbers are outlined with color tee you are at. "

"Great course. Gets super busy."

"Great course! Very wooded. Takes a lot of skill to maneuver the trees, so that is very fun. "

"Lots of snow, very slick "

"Great and beautiful "

"Love the course! Front nine are more open while back nine is more in the woods. The first hole has a beautiful view! "

"D hey go BFF c we were"

"Great course. Great skyline view from before 1. "

"Great course. Solid for beginners with more options for experienced players"

"Great course for new players"

"Course is well maintained and mowed. It was a lot of fun to play with some challenging holes. Minus one star due the challenge level of the tees not being clearly marked. "

"Beautiful challenging course in the PA woods. Lots of trees"

"Friendly. Some depth, holes feel like they are on top of each other "

"Fun & fast course"

"I’m very new but love this course. Lots of fun but can get pretty busy. "

"Very nice course, just wish the tee boxes and pins were more accurate on the map "

"Muddy. "

"Great course. Super technical "

"Restrooms are not working now; but water is near & there are portalets. The course is great because there are multiple options for each hole!"

"Good signs, fun holes. Good for beginners. "

"Lots of holes without defined lines, a couple of open holes then mostly the same putter shots over and over again. Really muddy after it rained"

"Love this course, homefield in the Steel City."

"Decent old style course. Some of the woods holes have convoluted lanes and the open holes are shapeless. Very beginner friendly with appropriately distance short tees. Intermediate and advanced players can enjoy a nice pitch and putt with some line shaping and greens that can punish errant approaches."

"Gets muddy around a couple of baskets and pads, but is a nice course and is beginner friendly. Only issue is how many fairways are directly next to one another, but the whole course is par 3s."

"CMU nostalgia makes me love this good course even more"

"Tight short and usually busy. Practice basket left up the hill from Hole 2. Hidden basket along trail behind White Tee 15. "

"On the shorter side but fun!"

"Nice, mostly technical course. There are only concrete tee pads for the red and white tees. Not sure what happened to the long blue ones (too crowded?). Good for beginners."

"Very muddy right now, but a nice convenient course"

"Soooo muddy. Who knew the top of a mountain would hold so much water?! Awesome technical course though. "

"Muddy & slippery and snowy"

"A park course with short runs tight gaps and lots of trees. 3 possible pad locations for each hole from from shortest to longest; red, white and blue (merica I guess?). Three pin locations for each hole as well. "

"A lot of crossover and relatively short holes, but beautiful views! "

"Muddy and slippery at times"

"A lovely park, but it can get crowded when the weather is nice"

"Muddy on 5 walking to 6 "

"Awesome beginners red tee "

"Great course. Good mix of open and wooded holes. Had a great time here. "

"Great little pitch-and-putt location, can get a little crowded but that's okay great sport to be in"

"Great course, putt and putt"

"Super well-marked course! Absolutely beautiful park! Amazing view on hole 1!!"

"perfect."

"Little tight when you get to the hole #5 watch your head and call your shots! Excellent course, very clean, friendly and helpful players👍"

"Would love marked blue tees "

"Probably the best use of limited space for a pretty fun track but discs coming at you from 2+ directions at all times from hole 7-18"

"Wet but we’ll-kept"

"Holes play well but they’re pack on too little land"

"Lots of open space with some woods. Good for a new player like myself. Watch out for the geese on 2, they aren't friendly. "

"Watch out for fast moving storms!"

"For the location the designer was probably given, it's a good design. However, the holes are packed tightly together and this was the busiest course I have ever played at. "

"Holes are on top of each other, tons of players, tons of random non players walking through. The first 5 holes always have people walking across holding up play. Also people trying to set up picnics in the middle of fairways. Letting their kids play by the baskets. Last time someone set up a picnic tent on the 1st teepad. This course would be better if it wasn't where it is."

"Very well kept course, with a good view of the Pittsburgh skyline for the first 5 holes until the course goes back into the woods for a majority of the course. Those 9 or so holes from 7-16 can get a bit confusing to go around, especially when the pins for holes 8 and 14 were right next to one another. The tee pads were clear for the most part, and all of the pins were easy to spot from the tee."

"Fun woods shots, just a lot of holes very close to each other in a busy park"

"Amazing. Best 9 I’ve ever had"

"Great clean course, low on technical. Very fun and open. Only minus is cars parked near baskets"

"Very beginner friendly, advanced players really only need a putter for the entire course"

"Really nice course. One of my first times playing and the course didn’t feel too difficult (excel for a few holes). No chance of losing a disc."

"Quick easy course. A bit repetitive and the holes are on top of each other."

"All par 3 scorecard makes most holes an easy birdie. Fun course, glad I made the trip!"

"Cool woods. Very short holes. Layout is kinda crap with holes and pads too tight"

"This course is fun and exciting even a par three can challenge you all the time!"

"Great course for improving your game. Groups of 3-5 can finish in an hour and a half. "

"Nice selection of long and short tees, good signage. Well layout nice variety can let it rip on some and finesse on others highly recommended if your in the area. Not super challenging from red tees but the white increases the distance quite a bit on most. "

"Some holes intersect with others in the beginning, park can be overcrowded but nice easy course"

"Beautiful course with a mix of open and wooded holes. Multiple teepads for each hole. Play this course if in Pittsburgh."

"Short easy. Are there even pads for the long tees??"

"Layout is a little confusing at times for a first timer, recent storms have left some mud and messy tee boxes. The course has a great mix of wooded and open with some technical lines. "

"It''s important to remember our heritage. This was the first 18 in Pittsburgh and one of the earlier courses in the region. If for nothing else, it's worth checking out to know your history. That's not to say the course isn't without its' charms. The opening few holes are relatively wide open and don't demand much, but as you enter the last 12, the woods require carefully placed shots, if not demanding of much power. On the other hand, course is always packed and the fairways are tight"

"Classic. Well marked. Good variety. First place I ever played in mid 90’s. Unfortunately I haven’t gotten much better since ;)"

"Course in great shape, fun layout. A little tight with a lot of criss crossing of holes on the back, but overall great!"

"Well maintained course. Nice and open, woods not overly difficult. Highly recommended"

"Sweet little run through. Cool holes intertwined pretty tightly with a few field spots thrown in. Highly suggest "

"Course is very small. Some holes cross over each other but overall a decent local course"

"Usually pretty crowded but for good reason- great course "

"Great city course. Tons of foot traffic. "

"Fantastic course, simple par 3 shots all around. Can get a bit crowded and people sometimes tend to lay down in the middle of the fairway, but it’s only happened 2 or 3 times. There aren’t any tee pads for the blue tees though so don’t bother looking for them."

"The park in general is an amazing vibe, the course is a lot of fun too. Laid out well, one of the best courses I’ve played"

"Mostly open with some Ricky wood shots. Great for beginners!"

"Awesome course with challenging slopes. A little less than half the course is all in the woods. Very crowded when I went. "

"Glad we got our “ice bowl” round in early. This will be the mud bowl by the end of the week. Footing questionable on at least half the course"

"Fun beginner course for a quick round nearby. Some tricky tree lines, but relatively short and simple holes. A neat feel to this course admist the city."

"Great course. A little easy to loose your discs in the leaves right now and it was a bit crowded but over all loved it!"

"Fun 18 hole course, pretty well maintained. First 2 holes always have people wandering around the fairway. 6-18 are all close and errant disc's could be an issue but I've played many rounds here and really haven't had much issue most people yell fore and try not to throw if they think they'll hit you. For what it is, it's great. "

"Great course! Only going to get park threes out of a course like this one but still worth the play! "

"Urban setting. Lots of leaves in the fall. Easy to lose discs. Very busy course with lots of players. Pretty short and quick 18-hole rounds. Fairways are smushed together, so watch out for flying discs."

"Schenley is the oldest course in Pittsburgh built in the 1980’s. Many of the holes are shorter and were made when the aviar was a driver. Many holes are too close to each other and yells of “Fore” are all too common and stories of people getting hit are not rare. It’s also in a super busy park with other park users who can be oblivious to disc golf. Overall it’s a decent course for what it is. It’s a classic course in the area that gets more use than any of the others. beware of others. "

"A lot better than it is made out to be on UDisc "

"don’t let the numbers fool you it is a brutal course"

"Course is well-kept, but plays in strange ways, not always easy to find your next tee box"

"Cons: - you drive with a putter every hole - people don't allow anyone through. Be prepared to skip holes to get around people - throwing over roads - throwing over bike paths - you setup at a teepad, aim at the pin, and right behind that pin is another group at a different teepad that you're about to throw towards Pros: - well kept."

"Classic park golf, really easy to get hit by casuals from other holes"

"Well maintained course with good concrete tee pads. Some holes are packed a little too close together, especially in the middle of the course. Good variety of shots required. Overall a great 18 for being so close to the city"

"The course is super busy. Lots of pedestrian traffic and waits on every hole "

"Very good for beginners. Love the numbers on top of baskets! "

"I had a blast. Super busy on a Sunday morning, but pace of play was good. Technical course, good signage, good tee boxes. "

"would be rated way higher, if people didnt do all types of random activities all over the course. "

"Great course to bring your friends who are just starting out, but also good for getting in a quick (about an hour) round. The back 9 gets a little tight so watch out for flying discs. Very good use of the limited space. However, it is a multi-use park so lots of people just chilling/hammock/picnicking on the first couple holes. "

"A bit damp. Still kewl. "

"Practice basket too far from hole 1. Very beginner friendly. Almost impossible to lose a disc. Definitely not a must play if you are out of town. "

"I’ve played this course about 4,000 times! I live nearby in the city & have dubbed it my “Home Course”. I’ve recorded my only 2 Aces here (Hole 8 & 14) & this course is one I could play everyday. For being what it is —a course in the middle of a major metro city— it’s a pretty nice course. People lounging on the fairways & on the greens are pretty much the only complaint I have. All-in-all, it’s a solid 4.5 to me."

"Muddy today but a great course!"

"Very, very short holes. Maps aren't great, would've done white vs red tees next time. "

"It would be 4 stars if the blue tees had concrete pads. Otherwise it’s a well shaped, tight, and small course."

"Pretty fun but prepare to use your putter to drive on literally all but 2 holes...shortest course I've ever played...even for a par 3 course."

"Great mix of wooded and open. Relatively short, but not for a par 3. Crowded. Overall, a great place to play. "

"Best Beginner Course in the Pittsburgh Area"

"Fun run"

"Needs less tee pads and pin locations. But fun and beautiful layout"

"Course gets a 3.5 stars - well maintained course with a pretty good design with open, hilly, and woods. Few straight shots. Not the easiest to navigate and there's usually a decent amount of people, but rarely enough to make you wait or feel rushed. Extra half star goes to being in the heart of the city with a great vibe - great for visitors to spend an hour or two while in the city and I'm sure city-dwellers love the chance to play nearby!"

"Better tee signs and this would be a 4.5. Great course with a mix of open/wooded holes, FH/BH shots and elevation changes. "

"Nice, medium-lenth course. Just a little overcrowded"

"some holes are a little squeezed together but it’s a fun one"

"Amazing for a course with such little space and so close to the city. But if you want a championship caliber course go 30 minutes north to NoBo, Deer Lakes, or Moraine. Also, Schenley is way too crowded."

"Nice course, a little tricky to find the next tee for first timers"

"Nice course overall...pathways get a little intertwined, but it’s usually not too big of a deal. "

"Very nice course"

"My favorite course"

"Quaint and well kept."

"Nice course! Good one to learn how to throw different putters and to teach you how to miss trees. "

"Good conditions "

"Elevation, open, wooded, deer.... This course has a little bit of everything. I don’t have a long drive so it’s great for me except hole #2. "

"Muddy "

"Great course! Utilizes the area well and is fun to play all year round!"

"Short holes. Easy par 3 if you have a decent drive. Easy birdie with a good drive"

"A lottle tight. Too many leaves on the ground."

"Classic."

"grass needs cut / weed wacked "

"Fantastic course, right in the heart of Pittsburgh. Forgiving enough for a beginner to have fun, yet challenging enough that it’s not a walk in the park. (Although it is, literally, a walk in the park.)"

"Short old but very fun course!"

"I wanted to like this park, especially after the sweet view on hole one, but I couldn't. Once you get into the woods it's pretty much baskets and pads strewn about the park with only a handful of holes having fun or legit lines at the basket. I found the signage to be confusing, cars parked too close to baskets, and the layout to be poorly designed. Don't come here just for the view on one. "

"Slippy on 5. "

"great course , league nights on Wednesday’s . You can park a truck here for all truck drivers !"

"Fun course"

"Still pretty soggy in places "

"Short and sweet. Trees make it challenging at times, but an easy round with a dope view of Pittsburgh."

"Concrete tee pads, signs, and bright orange numbers on the baskets all get an A+ That said, this course was built in the 80s for the discs of that era. It plays more like a pitch and putt with today’s discs. Red plays like green, white plays like red, and so on. Still, a fun, short course with a beautiful view, and you can’t complain about having such a gem right in the city."

"Great sunny day, but a little bit muddy and lots of deer poop. "

"Would love to play again but only after it dries out. "

"Mostly technical and short after first couple holes."

"For a city course, this is great and real fun. You get in the woods pretty quick but for a shorter course it’s definitely fun. Well kept, very enjoyable"

"Beautiful holes, nice woods"

"Good for a very quick round. Lots of very, very short holes."

"Great course, especially if you are a beginner or are looking for a fast par 3 course to work on your upshot/birdie game."

"Awesome. A little muddy in the woods but great overall. "

"Muah"

"Short course. Lots of people out that aren't playing so be careful when you throw. Holes cross each other a few times. Easy to play under 1.5 hrs quick play. "

"First time playing here was a little tricky but at least when I come back next time I'll know how to play better"

"NEED MORE GARBAGE CANS!! ASAP! "

"Great local course. Holes are a good mix of open spaces for some power, and wooded holes for precision. Hole #2 is a par 4 though, this has it listed as a par 3."

"Really great course that does a good job at telling you where to go and is well laid out"

"Beautiful coarse goes right through the park.easier short holes"

"Great par 3 course with technical wood shots. Pray ye to Treesus and beware thee non believers "

"It's snowy and fun"

"Considered by many disc golfers living in the city of Pittsburgh to be their home course, Schenley Park is the go to city park course to get 18 in with a busy schedule. Short and technical with much of the course in the woods the course offers a beautiful skyline view of Pittsburgh! Favorite holes include #2 which is a long open grassy field hole and #16, a very short but tricky downhill shot. The course gets busy at times and is in need of maintenance TLC"

"Short but technical. "
