When we travel we often throw in our discs since you never know when you might get a chance to try a new course. On a recent trip to Vancouver we were discussing disc golf courses with family members who play the sport and then said their favourite course of the 10 or so that they have played in the Greater Vancouver area was the Dale Ball course in Langley. This course is laid out in an old gravel extraction area so there are nice open areas with some trees.
The holes tend to be long because of this which doesn't work in my favour since I prefer a shorter course with trees since I can't throw that far. I just played the front nice since time didn't permit a full 18 and holes ranged from 77 to 120 meters. The back nice looks like it would suit me better since it has holes ranging from 41 to 114 meters. Another twist with this course is that the area is an overflow area for rain water so has a different layout in the winter when this area can be pretty wet. I liked the course and now that I have played it once would have a better feel for how to play it next time.
The course was very popular when I played it...every hole had people on it and most people had pull carts full of discs
For driving directions simply type in Dale Ball Passive Park in google maps and it will lead you to a large parking lot and the first hole is next to a covered picnic pavilion. I am glad I created some screen shots of the hole layout from U Disc since their is no master map at the start and finding the next hole is not obvious in many cases. You can access those maps from https://udisc.com
There are nice concrete tee pads for each hole and a map
