Church [of Disc Golf] Park 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Oct 29, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

This and Pioneer/Stayton are sister courses, making a complete 18 if you don't count the 2.5 mile drive in between. These courses add to the pantheon of DG stops accumulating in small Willamette Valley towns that you might pass through on the way to the mountains, coast, wineries, etc.
Its a quiet, pretty little park with the DG crammed into a tight and busy 10 acres. 3 holes are 250'-300' and the rest under 200'. Small pines, mature hardwoods and open field tosses travel in a counter-clockwise route, with minor elevation changes on a few holes.
#1 is like the nave and aisle of a church: a low-ceilinged lane right down the middle.
#2 has a central dogma of pines in the way, and some double-trunked red oaks scowling like nuns near the basket.
#3 traverses mature hardwoods and a hedge, and begins to lose a bit of elevation.
#s4-5 cross the field, with giant cedars standing like Easter Island statues on the north.
#6 is a rising walk on the straight and narrow back into the pines.
#7 has an ultra-low ceiling and elevation gain among scattered pines, requiring a steady hand and a prayer.
#8 opens for the last 1/3 after a central pine, but the tree cover still hovers about like a ghost.
#9 is so short its like the preacher just noticed its 12:05 on a football Sunday.
New Discatcher baskets, and 8' cement teepads. Grassy among the fields and hardwoods, but sparse or bare under pines.
Bathrooms and water in the SE corner of the park.

Cons:

Short and only slightly inventive, though it uses everything its allowed to.
Houses north and west, and church facilities south and east, means someone may have their eye on you at any time. No drinking, drugging or cussing.
No course sign, tee signs, benches or trashcans.

Other Thoughts:

A playground and open fields. Stores/eats 1/4 mile.
