Played the course:once
Pros:
The disc golf course here was designed by disc golfers and their handiwork is evident. I like the design aspect of having a disc golf hole on each of course 18 holes. It makes navigation much easier. Also, they have us teeing from the same tees as the golfers, no more looking around for tiny pink ribbons. The baskets are a very pretty blue Discatcher.
The course is squeezed in between the mighty Columbia River and a freeway and is almost totally flat. You play nine holes out, then back to the clubhouse, then the back nine plays out to the east.
The disc golf portion is probably slightly more technical and less open than many ball golf courses. Likewise, with the length with five holes over 500' but no ridiculous open 1000' holes like some I've seen on golf courses. When possible, baskets are placed under trees or in the case of # 10, slightly up one of the only elevated spots on the course. The # 18 fairway is relatively tight for a golf course hole. Excellent course for throwing rollers.

Cons:
I Am a little concerned that 3-4 baskets are placed just past the greens. I always think about us sticking a disc, tombstone style, and messing up one of their perfect, pretty greens.
Two holes play next to the freeway which is not only noisy, but kind of disconcerting, as well.
A little open for my tastes.
Grass greens. But I think in this very dry climate, they would never get muddy or slick.

Other Thoughts:
When I paid for my round ($7) and cart rental ($10), The gentleman in the clubhouse forgot to charge me for the cart rental. When he realized his mistake, he just said to not worry about it. After getting a free cart, of course I wanted to reward his course with a 5.0 rating but being a professional reviewer, I decided to go with the more honest rating of 3.0. It's a nice course and I enjoyed. I would play it again.
This is a golf course experience where the feeling is welcoming, not just trying to grab our hard earned cash like other golf courses i''ve played.

Cons:
-7$/round

-course squeezed between the freeway and river; fairways real close to each other.
-freeway noise (5 holes boarding WA240)
-other golfers
-not much elevation
-leaning baskets (portable, so can be fixed)
-grass tees
-1st time navigation: use the map on the golf scorecard

Other Thoughts:
just 2 miles down the road from the free columbia park(river country) course there is a space dedicated to golf charging money to keep the riffraff out. with that money they keep it green, but the desert is hard to grow grass, so some spots of brown (mostly all brown in winter). spend some more of your money and you can get a motorized golf cart for those lazy days or to speed up your round. you can then invest more $ and load up your cart with some beers* from the concessions.(*other beverages, if beers not your thing) no discs, no problem, rent 3 discs for 3$.
the course uses what is availble w/o making it punishing. golf greens mostly don't come into play (no divots/tombstones on the green), but a few of the longer holes have the green just before the basket, making long arms think about drive placement. if your roller game is strong you will be pleased with these fairways. no real stand out holes; 10 uses the little bit of elevation (up), so then on 11 you get to throw downhill which is always fun. 11,12,13 play around this unmowed & unwatered (OB?) area that is kinda strange; it is a water feature that used to be there, but is no longer functional (no water). it seems every time I play here there is some sort of wind, so that will likely add to the distance of a lot of holes. it just opened so they're still tweeking the disc golf details; some mandos needed to restrict throwing over road/other fairways.
tee times rarely necessary; not usually busy, with the weekends busier, of course. a yearly membership availble for the locals that really like this course.
a few times I have seen & heard a hawk around the course & many a squirrel have been observed running between trees. the columbia river is right there too, so if backed up sitting on one of the benches you can space out looking out over the water.
being on a ball golf course has a different feel; though it's casual, it is a more formal setting than any of the other disc golf courses in the area; whereas, I imagine the ball golfers feel the complete opposite.
more options in the tricities is great
