This course was designed from the very beginning to be a very accessible course. Accessible to families, folks with minor mobility issues, and new players just discovering their love of the sport. The course manages to accomplishes this without being boring and overly predictable.

Number one pro of this course is almost every tee pad you step on feels like a beautiful example of PNW disc golf, only a little shorter. Firs, vine maples, pines, ferns, and salal, framing earthen paths through the timber.The fairways at this point are fairly wide for the length of the holes. Much of the credit goes to Bill and his tireless work to clean up every spot his disc "might" land.

Even with holes ranging between 200-275, 250ish average, the course has enough technicality that experienced players will have fun for at least a few rounds, and beginner will establish some great habits before they move up to longer courses.

Tees are well done concrete trapezoids with 4' in front widening to 6' in the back (reversed on 4,9), and 8' long .

Navigation is circular and very straight forward.

Single use park, disc golf only.

Parking lot is large, has picnic table an porta potty.

There are some campgrounds in walking distance.

Long drive for just 9 holes (at least at this time)

No running water, flushing toilets.

Not going to call out 9 holes as a con, but they are shorter holes than average for the region.

How do you rate a 9 hole?
I decided to base my rating on how I use DGCR.

I put criteria in the filters and sort the results by rating. My typical criteria are the cost, number of baskets, tee surface, and location/state. So with that in mind, when searching for free 9 hole courses in WA, I think this course should top that list.

My guess is many of you use DGCR similarly. So if you are reading this you either live nearby or are looking for a 9 hole to play. In either case I would tell you to play this course, I guarantee you won't regret it.

The Cushman Cruise course sits directly across the road from the monstrous Hoodsport Hills which has remained unfinished for years now. The usually active Mason County Disc Golf Club has developed Cushman Cruise with the help and some helpful financial support of the Hoodsport Recreation Commission. This partnership seems like every disc golf club's dream. However, IMO, I'm not sure of the exact direction that everyone is heading.

This almost rain forest like terrain here in the shadows of the Olympic Mountain range is so perfectly suited for a disc golf. If you've played the NAD course in Bremerton, you'll understand. Towering Douglas Fir trees, different types of ferns and all other types of rain forest plants abound.

Currently, the course is a wonderful little 9 hole recreation level course with the longest hole playing just 275'. The signs are very basic yet vandal proof tee markers showing the hole # and distance. Natural tee pads are fine, especially now in the summer. Chainstar baskets complete the picture.

I believe the holes are perfect in their simplicity and recreational challenge. Hole after hole I stepped up and commented to Bill, "This is a lovely little hole."

Bogie Bill, the self-proclaimed course warden, is and has spent a tremendous amount of hours here trimming, cleaning, hauling woodchips and generally striving for perfection.

The course is short with fairly open lines. There is nowhere to really stretch out your arm.

It's fairly rough off the fairway. Bogie Bill is working hard to clean that up some.

Some kind of permanent tee pads are coming.

More competitive types have all kinds of ideas and solutions in order to make this a more challenging experience. Move the baskets back. Move the tees back. Add a more challenging back nine. Personally, I would really hate to see the complexion of the course changed. There is plenty of room for nine additional holes.

With the super challenging but maybe not going to be completed Hoodsport Hills Course across the street, this could be an awesome disc golf destination someday. It will be interesting to watch the progress.

If I were rating this course for just myself, I'd for sure give it a 5.0. However, since it's just a nice little 9-hole recreational course, I'm going to go with a 3.0.

This is a solid course that requires a technical approach through the massive trees to birdie the Par 3 holes. All shots were needed throughout the nine holes. The fairways are very well manicured, especially for such a young course. It seems like each hole had a forgiving landing-spot for RHBH golfers, which was appreciated. It allowed us to spend more time playing and less time searching through the forest. The log barricade on hole 3 and the elevated basket on hole 5 were fun human-built obstacles that fit in with the setting. There's a lot of parking. Hole 1 leaves from the lot and Hole 9 drops you off when you're done.

Concrete tee pads and clear basket signage may be in the future. That will help.

Great course to play on your way to or from the Olympic Mountains or Lake Cushman. I'm curious to see how the ball golfers of the Lake Cushman Community receive us disc flingers. Who knows, maybe we'll get a few converts?

Easy to fine Discs, well-maintained by local volunteers and club, nice big parking lot, if you're looking for aerobic disc golf this golf this is your place.

Most of the holes are fairly short but does make you have some technical lines to them. There's nowhere really throw a big bummer except on the one hole.

Once the golf course is finished across the street this is going to be a fabulous place to come enjoy a DiscGolf paradise. With Lake Cushman close camping nearby with some of the greatest hiking in the state this park will be one that you cannot miss.
