Evergreen Dgc is located inside evergreen college it's important to know this because you have to have parking pass or you'll get a parking ticket. The course itself has a small parking lot that you walk by a railroad boxcar and starts by the soccer field. The course is now a 18 hole course with new laminated signs. The layout isn't bad and flows fairly nicely. It's also got very well marked out arrows pointing you in right direction. Good mix of distances and most holes plays in old growth forest. Stay on fairways and you can score well. Get off and can have some hard second shots. Very nice new looking Mach 5s.

The teepads here our a major issue as they're short and gravel. Lots of slips on the teepads amd hopefully they get better ones soon. Also worried about the laminated signs that will probably get vandalized or tore down hopefully not. Once completing hole 7 you have to walk back down fairway to get to 8 could be safety issue if multiple people our playing the course

Overall this was a good 9 but now is a great 18 and with new tee pads would be even better

-Per my title, have to love throwing plastic around a lush locale like the Evergreen campus
-Course has been fleshed out in recent years/months to include a full 18 I believe
-Work parties have been doing an amazing job clearing fairways into the majority of holes
-includes some true pro par 4s, maybe even a true par 5
-couple of holes even in the wooded portion midway through the course allow you to air out a distance driver with some control
-good mix of BH/FH righty/lefty holes and plays depending on power and skill level
-Free parking on weekends, haven't seen it crowded assuming the club's not playing

-a good number of fairways have been plowed, HOWEVER, there remains a few fairways that are essentially an undeveloped forest floor. Careful you don't turn an ankle
-Couple of holes involve fairly absurd/unfair natural mandos split between trees or down tunnels, the latter including one of the unfortunate forest floor fairways
-non existent teepads for the most part - a few concrete, mostly gravel or dirt on the newer holes
-gets pretty muddy out there with marshy fields to walk through

Really nice to have a quality course closer to Oly proper than Shelton Springs. I'd call this course a mini Shelton Springs.

The number one pro for our group was the beautiful old growth forest! An absolutely stunning location for a disc golf course. The land is used well and it is apparent how much work has been put in to clear fairways and manage under growth. The tee signs, benches, framed gravel tee pads and navigation aids on the fully completed sections of the course were excellent.

Great mix of longer forest holes where a 300+' controlled line is required and short, technical line shapers.

The "fun factor". This place has plenty of it!

Some of the holes still feel like they are in development. The tee pads on these holes were rutted and poorly defined.

I can imagine that errant throws will be hard to find in the summer months when everything is filled in.

The navigation was a bit of a mixed bag, being a pro when the neon pink arrows were used and later a minor con on the "5._" holes. Our group never had to look for more than a few moments to find the basket or next tee though.

I am scoring this as a 3.5 today but this will be a solid 4 when the course is completed.

Overall, our group really enjoyed this course and will definitely include it in our plans when next in the area. Evergreen paired very well with Shelton (less than 30 minute drive between courses) which we played on the same day.

Usually on school and church grounds you don't always get the best designed course on the piece of property given, and on top of the land the designer(s) has to work with is frequently bad, this course being an exception. Not only is the piece of property good but the design is excellent but first let's start at the beginning...

There is a sign that says there is a $3 parking fee (weekdays only) in the gravel lot. There was campus police within view of this parking lot on a Sunday early in the morning just an FYI. Go across the street, using the crosswalk and follow the path. On the lamp posts to your left you will see blue homemade signs pointing you to the first tee pad near the back of the soccer field near the honey bucket. Hole one starts with the only all open throw across the field but slightly hilly with out of bounds on the left and the basket on the side of a hill. This is a short par four hole to start you out but then shifts from this very open hole to tight lines and trees the rest of the way.

What I really like was that there is an excellent mix of shots needed here (righty/lefty) that change from one hole to the next; hole one is a bomber, hole two is a straight and short tunnel shot, then later a double fairway, hyzer hole, etc. all one right after another so that you never fully feel comfortable. The switch between longer and shorter par three holes is also an impressive feat especially considering there are only currently nine holes but more on that in "Other Thoughts" section.

There really isn't a ton to be upset about here in my person opinion. The only issue (minor or major depending on your view) I really had was that the tee pads were gravel which aren't inherently bad but these are dug out so bad that throwing drives is extremely frustrating and could possibly cause injury. Rumor has it concrete is on the way. Although I'm not normally a huge fan of concrete pads (yes I know I am in the minority on that) it would be a vast improvement to what is currently here.

While I was playing they were having an early morning doubles round and I wound up speaking with members of the club. They said that they are approved for nine more holes in the back and concrete tee pads which they will start working on soon and hopefully have done by the Summer next year which would be great. I live a long way away but would come back for sure to play the new nine holes, especially if done as well as the first nine.

This is an excellent nine hole course, one of the best that I have personally played right up there with Parque De La Raza in California.
