Favorite Hole at LaMirada?

Depends on the setup but I really like the long dogleg left along the houses on the back course.

My favorite hole is the 970 foot par 5 on the backside. Toughest hole in SoCal, hands down.

I agree with Carl. I have only parred this hole once, but I like the challenge. By the way, it's a quadruple mandarory...
To show how difficult it can be, Kyle Crabtree took a 13 on this hole at the Golden State Classic.

I have played the hole about 50 times. In that time, I have had one birdie and 4 pars. On the birdie, I got a drive 300 feet and fair. I cut off most of the distance in the next two shots and hit a 50 footer for the bird. My highest score on that hole is 9, and most times I get 6's.

My favorite hole is #4 of the golden state classic 08 layout. Carl's money roller everytime!

I've always liked the shot around the baseball field (#15 on SoCal Championship layout.) I would say the 970' hole but I've only played it twice (par and triple bogey.)

Haha Evan. I think I got two birdies and a par on that hole in the GSC. And that was when I was learning the roller!

Dave I have to correct you K.C. carded an 18 on that hole. Read Issue 3 of flying disc magazine page 75. It says hole 15 but that is wrong it was 14.

Hands down my favorite hole at Lama is 16 lakeside long setting. I watched Climo duece it from bottom of the circle back when speed 7 was a fast disc. I was in awe then and think about that every time I step on that tee.

I think I have carded exactly 0 birdies on Lakeside 16. The new Carl who is coming back will be much stronger, so who knows what the future holds for me on that hole. Another note on backside 14, one of my favorite things about it is watching it destroy the competition. You're guaranteed to watch someone go OB and take at least a 7 or 8, no matter what division you play in.

Hands down.GSC #11 Island green. The only hole on the course that can card a 2-7 for any top player.

Power, OB, Course management, Punishment, Thrill (try to hit the island from the DZ sometime). It has the whole package. Top tier hole.

My favorite hole at la mirada has to be 15 on the back. Its a big boy hole par 4 with ob on both sides if u throw far enough to make it over the baseball field you can find safety on the other side or bust a big turn over shot over the field and back towards the hole for a sweet eagle or easy birdie.
