San Diego's Morley Field Disc Golf Course is at the corner of Pershing
Drive and Redwood Street in Balboa Park.
Take the Pershing Drive exit off of Interstate 5 and follow it up the hill. The course is
on your left about a mile from I 5. Here is a street
map to Morley Field Disc Golf Course.
Snapper Pierson runs and maintains the course and pro shop. You can E-mail him at snapfriz@aol.com
or call him at the number above.
Monthly tournaments are usually held on the 3rd Saturday of each month. Check the schedule for the next monthly. Tournament division include Pro,
Advanced, Intermediate, and Novice. Morley Field also has two disc golf leagues per year -
Spring and Fall. These are handicap leagues with all skill levels welcome to play. Also
during the summer there is Wednesday Night Doubles at 5:00pm.
The course isnt long but it does have a few long holes and its beautifully
maintained with Mach III baskets and concrete tee pads. The course is very challenging,
with many trees and tough pin placements. Pin positions change each Monday and there are 3
to 6 positions for each hole. Morley Field has a pro shop (other
side of rest rooms) for all of your disc golf and refreshment needs.
The course is open to the public from dawn to dusk year round except for the weekends of
the Southwestern Disc Golf Invitational Team Tournament (usually around the 1st weekend of
December) and the Spring Fling (usually in the first couple of weeks of May). If you plan
to visit during these times, check the schedule to make sure
the course will be open to the public.
City law does not permit alcoholic beverages in the park and this is enforced by park
rangers and the San Diego City Police. If the parking lot is full, go just past the course west on Pershing and keep
hanging lefts. You'll find additional parking near the ball park, a short walk from the
course.
If you are in the area, drop by and play the course. For first time visitors, print the disc rental coupon.
