A Great Course, Hidden from the Masses 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 3, 2009 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Nice blend of easy open holes and ridiculously challenging wood holes. Think it starts out borderline boring? Just wait.

Requires players to have many types of shots. Particularly the hammer. Man, this is a hammer-friendly course. If you're a one-trick pony thrower, you will hate this thing.

Though some of the holes are tough, they are all pretty fair. Landing areas can be super tight though.

Very few people playing, particularly compared to other close courses.

I like the bright orange beacons to direct you: flags suck as tee pads sure but look on the basket to see an orange stripe which tells which cardinal direction the next tee is. Every course should have this.

People generally call you for lost discs / items.

Gorgeous park.

Cons:

Underbrush is out of control on some of the wooded holes - landing areas are almost non-existent. Also the grass / weeds are vicious both on the legs and for snatching and hiding your disc.

Orange utility marking flags are not tees. And people have misplaced / F'd with many of them.

Some sketchy people / behavior happening.

Other Thoughts:

HAMMER!

A Newb's Perspective 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 17, 2008 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Nice course with some great long holes. The potential of this course is amazing with a good verity of holes that make use of some great elevation changes and out of bounds areas.

Cons:

The holes in the woods are no where near finished!! It seems like the designers went more for distance in the trees just because they had the space instead of designing technically difficult holes.

Other Thoughts:

To spite the fact that the course is not finished it really does have some great potential as a future "Favorite Course"

Great potential...worth seeking out 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 22, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Good use of available Park space
Awesome use of wooded area
Very technical holes in the woods
Forces one to think strategically
Tone poles replaced with baskets
Local DG club/players really created great wooded holes in a briar jungle

Cons:

Tee areas in the open park area not very well marked--some little flags/sticks missing
Baskets not numbered
Wooded baskets could have colored tape or flags to be more easily spotted

Other Thoughts:

This course is worth seeking out, especially if you like being challenged with tight wooded holes
If you throw errant drives (sharp hyzers or anhyzers) you should have a spotter because the wooded fairways are narrow and the "rough" is dense (and mainly briars)
My friend and I loved this course and we are amazed at the vision and tenacity of the guys who carved out the briar jungle!

Going to be great someday 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 17, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

This is going to be a great course someday and SOON!!!. The Albany (OR) disc golf club and others are working hard to make this yet another premiere course in Oregon. There is now a full 18 hole course as of a couple weeks ago (May 2008) consisiting of a few Tone Targets and baskets. Many of the new woods holes are still thick with underbrush and will require some serious clean-up but one can see the potential. You should have a local guide for now. Just look up the DGCA (Disc golf club Ablany website and hollar at someone. A few local Pros live near the course and will gladly show ya the ropes. This went from an easy scratch round to a few up just recently. Sweet

Cons:

Tons of blackberry, poision oak, and nettles. Wear long pants and be ready to get scratched up. This course fights back. You will be in trouble on all drives in the woods if not placed in the fairway (if there is one...ha!)

Other Thoughts:

Thanks to all the DGCA folks for making this a reality (i.e. Brandon Hill, Scott Duvall, Jeorime)

Distance driver 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 28, 2008 Played the course:never

Pros:

Distance driver practice area. Big open field with pins all around the park.

Cons:

Not much of a challenge, there are a few pins with trees in the way but, nothing to worry about.

Other Thoughts:

Good for beginers, the little red flags on the ground are the tees.
