On behalf of the students, I'm glad you're enjoying the courses at
California State University, Monterey Bay.

A student-centered alcohol policy is still under development at CSUMB.

The campus is patrolled regularly by the University Police Department,
and I'll check with them on any open-container laws that they may be
enforcing.

Nevertheless, since you're on land owned and operated by the state of
California, playing either the Cypress or Oaks course constitutes
playing in a public place.

State laws prohibit intoxication in public places (Cal. Penal Code 647(f)).

Having said all that, on our clean-ups we find lots of beer bottles on
the courses. We all know folks are drinking on our campus, regardless of
their choice of recreational sporting activities. We wish all our guests
would pack their own trash while playing Disc Golf, but my best advice
would be to drink in designated areas on campus, such as the Black Box
Cabaret or the Otter Bay Cafe.
