Pros:
The Bicentennial Park DGC in Reedsport is an interesting course. Newly completed in 2017, the course plays in a clockwise circle around a large boggy area. The course has smallish concrete pads and DGA Mach V baskets with the always hard to read numbers. There are no signs currently.
A group of locals has just finished a round when I showed up. They pointed me to the first tee which has you throwing 225' up a fairly steep hill with no basket in sight. The basket is set off to the right. The boggy area to the right is quite deep here covered with these huge plants. I have always called them skunk cabbage as they emit an unpleasant aroma.
Navigation is mostly easy and intuitive. Usually the next pad is visible as are the baskets. There is a long walkout between 1 and 2. The number 2 pad has the number spray painted on the concrete tee pad. The basket sits on what looks like Jurassic Park terrain. I have expected to see a Brontosaurs halfway submerged down in the bog munching on some skunk cabbage.
# 3 tees off from a cool elevated tee to a visible basket protected by lovely moss covered trees. # 4 is protected by about a dozen trees. # 5 is a short (115') anhyser throw across the bog. There will be a few Aces hit here. 6 plays about 250' straight up a trail. Then the final three 7-8-9 are all very similar with each following the old road. Each has the bog on your right and a small hillside on your left. They probably range from about 240' to maybe 300'.
Cons:
Signs would be appreciated.
7-8-9 are very similar.
Stay out if the boggy area, especially on # 1. It looks the deepest here.
The # 6 tee pad also has an 8 painted on. This confused me and I had to ask their help. There answer was the # 8 was a mistake. Makes perfect sense to me.
Long walkout between 1 and 2.
I noticed some trash here and there. This is a nice new course. Pack it out boys.
