This kind of reminds me of the comparison that Timber Park gets with Milo McIver. You have such a monster of a course (Meadow Ridge) right next door to similar, but more modest cousin (Canyon Course). Both are very similar in appearance and terrain - a mix of open fields and heavy conifer forest and hilly elevation. I would say that Canyon is a bit shorter in length and in the extremity in elevation (though #13 and #18 do some serious climbing up and down through the main grassy meadow).

Canyon is a solid course that would be a magnificent stand alone anywhere. It has great challenges that require finesse (in the woods) and allow some power (in the fields). The variety of holes are nice with almost none playing flat, and the doglegs left and right mixed nicely with straight, but mostly tight shots. The edges of many fairways drop steeply into runoffs and creek beds, so shots that are shanked may end up in big trouble.

My favorite holes:

#11 - a slight uphill dogleg left, that straightens out to an approach that has the pin protected by many large trees. I think the approach is very scenic and unique.
#13 - elevated tee shoots down to a dogleg right pin protected in the trees. The entire left edge of the fairway slopes steeply off, forcing you to stay right. RHBH may not like this, but a lefty like me will (I AM Forehand Franz after all!).

I love the bright homemade yellow baskets (I did not like them at first), and think they are more challenging - if you hit too high in the chains, the disc may hit the rim of the basket and flip out! Just learn the sweet spot first and the rest will be fine.

The natural beauty of the course is the large timber and mixture of moss and ferns and salmonberry. Once you walk down the trail to hole #5, you really do feel you have disappeared from the world, all the way up to hole #13!

One of the pitfalls of the lush natural beauty is that even some well placed discs may disappear easily. Fortunately, they have a great return program there at Horning's! Use a spotter on some of the lush holes.

Total nitpick - not enough trash cans. I believe they do recycle, but on a couple occasions, the trash/recycling cans were so full, that people had piled bottles and cans all around them. BUT, we did not find much trash (if any) around the rest of the course.

This is a great introduction to Horning's. It fits in the middle of the 3 in difficulty - giving everybody their option.

Don't be fooled by the blandness of #1. It is a good hole, but kind of un-exciting (short, open, plays across the edge of the parking lot) compared to the rest of the course.

I saw a deer on Hole #17 at twilight - bring a camera with you! I'm glad I did.

The course was clearly well-cared for by the owners. All of the tees had signs, and the navigation wasn't a problem at all. When you don't have to struggle finding the next tee, it makes for a drastically better experience.

The course layout provided plenty of variation in technical skills required from each player. There are doglegs, a couple of mandos, downhill and uphill layouts, and they all certainly will make you try to plan ahead your shots.

There are benches and garbage cans where you can dispose your trash, and it makes for a tidy course.

The $3 fee is very reasonable considering that they have three full courses to choose from!

I certainly did not like the steep drop-offs on few of the holes, but that's no fault to the course and the designer!

I'm not so sure if i liked the homemade baskets, as it seemed like there's a smaller "window" for getting your putts in? I could be wrong.

I think it's a great course and it certainly is a course that I will want to come back to on a regular basis if I moved back to Oregon. I have yet to play the other two courses, so if the Canyon course is a good indicator, then I imagine the other two will be enjoyable.

The Canyon course at Horning's offers a great variety of hole layouts that can challenge the average player without tearing him up and spitting out the pieces (like Meadow!!).

The course includes wooded and open holes, doglegs in each direction, and a lot of scenic beauty. This is a great course to take your time and enjoy playing.

The baskets are deep. A lot of putts are from height differences, many players have a tendency to misjudge the distances. When viewed from below, the basket hides much of the chains.

There is a lot of undergrowth. There are also a few steep drop-offs. With a lot of trees around, you need to keep an eye on your disk.

Bring a camera. It is a private course open to the public at a cost of $3/day, worth the money.

Its just majestic being there. There is peacocks all over the place. This course takes you along a mountain side and provides lots of elevation changes. There is also a nice variety of shots. I would call this place a disc golfers must play if you are anywhere near Portland.

I just cannot think of cons

The Canyon Course in North Plains, Oregon, was the first course installed at Horning's Hideout by Bob Horning in 2008. This blue level course is a smaller version of the gold course, but similar in regards to the mixed terrain and style of play. The Canyon Course plays through a series of tightly wooded fairways as well as some large open grassy fields. The design of the course utilizes several of the elements on the property, including slight to extreme elevation changes, OB hazards (like the seasonal swamp on hole #18 and other small creeks that meander throughout the course), and strategic pin placements around some massive old growth Douglas Firs, Vine Maples, and massive green Ferns. Holes range anywhere from 227 - 700 feet, averaging 285 feet per hole excluding the 700 foot mammoth at the end. The course has 16 Par 3's and two Par 4's, making par for the course 56. Precision and form will prevail over power. Since many holes incorporate narrow doglegs on the course, controlled shots will land you with multiple birdie attempts.

Like the other two courses on site, the Canyon Course has some vibrantly homemade yellow baskets. Each one is extremely durable, has a large black number on the side to help navigate, and are easily visible from the tee on most holes. The tee pads are all cement, grip well, and are of sufficient in size for a run up. The Houck designed tee signs are phenomenal. Each one shows elevation changes +/-, par, distance, and obstacles down the last tree. The full color signs allow players to see where both pin positions are and their location compared to the tee.

This course seemed to have a few holes that stood out to me while playing including holes #5, #9, and #18.
Hole #5 is a 306 ft. Par 3 that has players throwing from an elevated tee pad across a small creek and ravine through a series of trees and tight fairways toward the pin.
Hole # 9 is a 315 ft. Par 3 dogleg left, that shows off the signature "peace" hand sign carved out of wood just off the middle of the fairway. It makes for a great photo with the basket in the background.
Hole #18 is a 700 ft. Par 4 with a huge mando forcing players left off tee around some massive Firs. From there players must throw several hundred feet over some rolling hills, over a swamp, toward a pin nestled amongst the trees.

This Canyon Course truly was a memorable experience for me, including the albino peacock that followed me around all day. It made me feel kind of awkward!

Bob Horning and crew have really done a phenomenal job installing and maintaining the Canyon Course. I would like to see some more benches throughout so players can just stop and take it all in and perhaps a few more garbage cans but really, I couldn't find much wrong with this course. The walk after hole #4 some may feel is a bit unnecessary but once you see hole #5 you will see it was worth it. Over time, I know the Canyon Course will continue to improve and become more developed, but for now I think it is pretty amazing the way it is.

Horning's Hideout is a ways out from the main road so quickly accessing food and supplies won't be easy. Having supplies and a cooler ahead of time is the way to go.

Although each course is unique unto its own, I felt this course had the most personality of the three. As an advanced level player, I felt most comfortable here and therefore had the most fun while playing. The Highland course is a blast but it is what it is, a "pitch and putt". The Meadow Course is like being at school; it is there to teach you how to play the game. It is where I go to challenge myself and work on my weaknesses. The Canyon Course is where I go to challenge myself, but succeed with and build up my confidence.

For $3 a day, this course is well worth the price. Bob Horning and his family have graciously opened up their hearts and their home to us so it is important that we support them in order to keep all our dreams alive! Other amenities include fishing, volleyball, camping, hiking, bird watching, and paddle boating. They put on some killer concerts every year and I have been told that the Dead have performed here as well, so it has a colorful history. Just know that during the summer when they host these concerts that it is near impossible to play.

Enjoy the Peacocks!

Great intermediate to advanced course.
Lots of variety in terrain, distance, and hazards
Really well maintained and mapped
Great fun for everyone for the $3 with the fishing, paddleboats, etc.

For the Pro level player holes 6-10 may feel a bit like filler.
Again only for the Pro but overshooting 6, 8, or 10, could result in a trek down a pretty steep hillside down to the creek to try and retrive a disc.
Really these con's are pretty nitpicky. Overall the course if one of my favorites that I play often

As one of the other reviewers said before, make this a destination if in the area! The $3 per person is a pittance for the ability to play 3 really fun courses and take advantage of the rest of the stuff available. Bring a group and a lunch, take your time, and play all three courses.

The only thing to watch out for is a few times a year there are concerts on site and the disc courses get shut down. Also, a couple times a year there are tournaments that should either be avoided or if you feel confident, sign up and join in.

Very nice T-pads,well signed,beautiful setting in the woods,two other courses on site,challenging shots but not overly so.

The baskets-The baskets The baskets..These baskets will spit out putts like nobodys business.Dont get me wrong the course is great but these baskets are the only thing standing in the way of a 5 disc rating.Be prepared to lose a disc or 2 if your shank your shot or overshoot it.

Overall this is one of my top 5 disc golf courses in Oregon.If you are in or around the Portland area you owe it to yourself to play this course or the other 2 courses that are on site.This is the intermediate course out of the 3.

~This course takes advantage of the natural northwest forest growth, like a good hike that happens to have tees and baskets.
~Does not put too much pressure on the individual player - an amazing shot may deuce it, but a less powerful arm has just as good of a chance of making par.
~There are many trees, but the ideal paths are wide, and I loved teeing off over the ravine on #5, but shots like these shouldn't pose a risk of disc-loss for anyone.
~Natural undergrowth is easy to find your disc in - just make sure you see where it comes down.
~New signage is beautiful and takes away the worry of blind shots - though it is always helpful to get a look at the basket prior to a throw.
~Many holes have several viable shots off the tee - friendly to backhand and forehand drives.
~The majority of elevation changes on this course are mild with many drives aiming downhill, but some approach shots will have you making your way up to a basket.
~Baskets make a satisfying 'dong,' and while a long or strong putt has a chance of bouncing out, a good one will stay in.
~Well maintained, dog friendly, fresh water, camping and fishing on-site, as well as two other 18 hole courses (one easier, one harder).

~Hole #13: 225 feet straight up the hill, and then another 225 feet sharp left - get creative, a good roller will get you to the top pretty well. This would be a pro except it was a tiring hill, and the hole was more challenging than the rest of the course.
~Only Hole #18 (700!') gives you a chance to really go for distance, but at least it takes two of them to get to the basket.
~Signs don't indicate pin placement, not much of a problem though.
~I can imagine injuries on the parallel holes #6-10 when busy - be careful please.
~Needs more benches on the course.

~A good plan is worth much more than a strong arm on this course - just going for it will get you a tree.
~A lot of leeway given to holes with a "steep drop-off," so don't worry unless you often overpower your shots by 50'+.
~Current photos on this site are not of the new signs.
~Watch what your disc lands near, twisting paths are disorienting from the tee.

really awesome course with alots of trees that block your shots and make it fun and challenging. there are even some par 4 holes that are good for people who throw frisbees a long way. lots of bathrooms and garbage cans so no litter. beer is allowed. easy to find tee pads and baskets

it costs $3 to get into the course but its fun anwyas so its worth it. the water on 18 kind a sucks.

good course lots of fun with 2 other ones here so worth the drive

- Lots of variety in length, terrain and difficulty. Holes range from 225' to 700' and can be open or wooded with elevation changes.
- Awesome new concrete pads
- Great flow.
- Multiple pin placement on a few holes. Hole 13 has dual tee pads.
- Highly visible, custom homemade baskets. Durable and unique.
- Lots of elevation changes. Elevated tee pads on holes 5 and 6. Hole 13 has a 463' uphill, spiral shaped fairway.
- Beautiful and secluded with awesome views.
- Private grounds with drinking water, porta-potties, camping, hiking, fishing, concerts, weddings and more.

- The lip and top design on the baskets can deny good putts.
- Could use more benches and trashcans but does have a few well placed ones throughout the course.
- A few ravines and other rough spots can be unforgiving.

When this course first opened it was well worth the 40 min drive from Portland but now that there are two other courses on site, Horning's Hideout is a major disc golf destination. The Canyon course would be considered the medium level difficulty of the three on site. $3 a day or a pro-rated per-season golf pass is well worth the 140 ares of Horning's heaven!

Favorite Hole: #5 - A brisk 500' walk from hole 4 and you will find the tee pad for 5 in the middle of the trail. The trail is carved into the side of a hill and the tee pad is elevated. Pull it too hard right or left and your in ravines but with a straight shot up the gut between 4 trees and you'll be looking at bird. This hole now has two pin placements.

*Awesome hole designs.
*Great use of elevation, ups, downs, and sides, but nothing too extreme.
*Most of the holes run through the forest, which is good if you're like me and you love wooded holes.

UPDATE:
*Awesome new concrete tee pads.

*Which brings me to my next point, and its not really a con, and its not exclusive to this course, but if it has rained the day you're playing, EVERYTHING off the fairway is SLICK. I fell on my butt twice, and nearly fell close to ten times.
*Hole 15-16 have to be the two dumbest designed holes ever. I did like both holes, but the fact that you tee off on 15, then walk back to 16 tee (pretty much right next to 15 tee) to throw to 16 basket (pretty much right next to 15 basket) This was the only moment in all three rounds (played all three courses) that I was confused and slightly bothered.

So this is the "middle child" of the HH courses, and you definitely can tell you're not on the pitch and putt any more based on the length and difficulty of the holes. But its not overly-challenging by any means.

The course starts in the open and ends in the open, but pretty much 3-17 either start, end, or are entirely in the woods.

Holes 6-11 are really close to each other, the day I played, there was a Boyscout Tournament, which was WAY cool to see all those kids (many of whom have never played before) enjoy this great sport... BUT, it was like a war zone, especially on 6-11. Disc were flying EVERYWHERE. Luckily, none of them have the power to cause damage, if they did, I'm sure there would be a couple ambulance rides.

But the course is way fun, I'm not sure what it is, but I had a big smile on my face nearly the entire time I was there, and if it wasn't for 15's and 16's silly design, the course would have gotten a 4 from me.

Update...
The tee pads and general awesomeness of this course has led me to upgrade to a 4 disc despite the somewhat silly design of 15 and 16, and again, I love both holes independently, just not the way they flowed together.

-Long but not too long...
-shaded
-has 2 other 18 hole courses onsite..
-well maintained
-great place for family
-Just all around AMAZING!!

-Long

costs $3 but she trusts you to pay she won't hunt you down but I might...

~ Beautiful Setting: Very good representaion of a NW Forest: Big Firs, Ferns, and Vine Maples.
~ Course was easy to find (Thank you for the signs on the way in)
~ Easy to see baskets! Neon Yellow!!!
~ While the signage was primitive it was effective. We had no map and navigated the course w/o error.
~ While the hole diagrams were backwards, at least they were there.
~ The blind holes are NOT an issue. Every course has them.
~ Good use of elevation changes
~ Several very unique and fun holes. I really enjoyed the par 4 on the back 9 that took you up and around the hill 180 degrees.

~ The holes felt very short overall. I was using a fairway driver or midrange the majority of the time. Only got to let loose on the first four and then again on the last couple.
~ I appreciate a good technical hole as much as the next guy, but it felt like I had to guide my disc thru a sloloum of trees. I have a heizer and anheizer as well as a forehand and backhand. But I felt like what I really needed was a chainsaw and/or remote control. I love trees, but they were a bit too densely packed for my enjoyment.
~ I did hate the tees though. They were definitely uneven (most of the gravel having been washed away or ground into the dirt) and messed with my approach.
~ While the scenery was a Pro, it also became a Con. I can't imgagine what it is like in the spring, but there is still a great deal of underbrush late in the summer. It is the "nature" of the beast I guess (pun intended). But losing a disc is a VERY real possibility on many of the holes (unless you have the aformentioned chainsaw or remote control).
~ Was NOT a fan of the homemade baskets. They are durable and easy to see, but I found them awkward and offputting. I think it has to do with the loss of visibility that you would get from a wired basket vs the solid semi wheels these are made of. I don't know if that makes sense to anyone else. They are great for homemade, but I would prefer the Mach 4's and 5's I'm used to.
~ NOT friendly for new or beginning players! Spare them the frustration of hitting trees and wasted time searching for discs.

This was my first time at HH. And I don't know if I'll be going back. I have heard nothing but great things about it from everyone. I'm torn though. I see the potential the place has. With cement tees and a bit more thinning of the trees and brush it could be GREAT. I know I'm in the minority, but I don't think it lived up to the hype or was worth the $3. Maybe I'll try the Highland Course before writing the place off.

Horning's Hideout or as I call it heaven is one of the best destinations for disc golf, camping, fishing, weddings, concerts and more in the country. The Canyon course is a great compliment to the newbie disc golfer friendly Highland course as it is made more for intermediate and advanced level players. The course starts out in the open area near the parking lot and by hole three and four you are in a dense forest area with lots of wildlife and beauty not to mention amazing disc golf holes with excellent technical fairways. The back nine weave in and out of the wooded and open sections of the property with the open holes being much longer. Hole eighteen would be considered the signature hole as it is a 700 foot down hill bomb towards a basket nestled into the tree line near the parking lot. The amount of work it takes to keep this place clean is amazing and everyone seems to be keeping thier trash in the bins provided, in fact they have cans for cigarette butts and recycling bins out on the course as well as bathrooms. I can't believe there was no underbrush what so ever, that was a surprise to me judging by the look of the place. I love these baskets better than the mach 3, mach 5 or any other baskets and they are homemade and very durable. Really I could go on forever here.

Seriously very few flaws. They recently installed brand new concrete tee pads which was the biggest con and now that's taken care of.

Do yourself a favor and go camp on site, with doing so disc golf is free other wise it is $3 per person per day which is the best 3 bucks you will ever spend in your entire life. My plan next time I come down is to camp out on site, play disc golf all day, eat fresh caught trout from the lake, play disc golf all night.

Horning's Hideout is a 160 acre paradise sitting at the end of a one mile dirt road. The grounds are open for camping, RVs, music (they just had 3000 folks in for a Bluegrass festival), fishing, weddings, etc. and of course, disc golf. There are currently two courses here. Fall of 2009 should mark the opening of the third and most difficult course. The Canyon course plays mostly through an old growth forrest complete with large ferns, cedar trees and well defined fairways. Peacocks roam the grounds and deer are frequent visitors. The teepads are natural but I had no problem with them. The baskets are extra special. They are made here, incredibly heavy duty, catch well and painted bright yellow. And when your disc falls into the wheel catch, it makes a musical note sort of tone. Very pleasing to the ears. I really believe these baskets should be marketed and sold to some of our courses in neighborhoods where vandalism is a problem.
The course plays well to the rec or average player, I think. There are only two longer holes but they're both fairly monstrous. # 13 is a 435 ft. uphill hyser all the way and # 18 is a way fun 600 ft. sloping downhill bomb over the seasonal marshland. There are sani-cans all over the place. Three bucks to play all day is a bargain. The tee signs are really basic, home made but they convey the information you need. I found navigation to be fairly easy the first time.

I'd have to play the natural teepads after some Oregon rain before I fully pass judgement on them. Some of the middle holes were pretty similiar.

When the third course opens this fall, you'll have, maybe the Northwest's best disc golfing destination here. You'll have three courses; One championship caliber, one recreational/mid level player calibier and a really enjoyable ACE-Thinking-All-The-Way pitch and putt. Having HH and Lucky Mud so close really gives this part of Oregon/Washington the market on magical, enchanting, incredibly beautiful private courses. And for the players living in the Portland area, you guys are really blessed to have such an abundance of wonderful courses so close.

- Awesome elevation changes
- Primarily a tight and technical woods course, but extremely fair and playable with designated fairways and groomed undergrowth
- Couple of open and long armed holes as well
- Never felt at risk of losing a disc
- Well marked and easy to navigate- they have clearly listened to previous players and made adjustments
- Complimentary towels for cleaning your discs while playing
- Very close to Portland- 20-25 minute drive from downtown
- Clean port a potties
- Beautiful fauna: Peacocks and Deer
- Spectacular flora: Huge Old Growth Rain Forest, Mondo Ferns and Moss and a Lord of the Rings type ambience
- Natural dirt/gravel tee pads, but very level and had no issues with slipping
- Best home made baskets ever
- Each hole had signage that showed the direction to the basket, elevation change and total distance

I cannot seriously find a complaint or something I think could be improved. The Hornings have heard from the masses and have made the necessary tweaks. Some people will always knock a course that doesn't have cement tee pads, but I think this is a non issue on this course.

- Definitely more shorter distance holes in the 200-300 foot range than long holes in the 300+ foot range, but that is the layout for this course. There are a couple of very cool longer holes in the open. A 475 foot uphill Par 4 and a 600+ foot downhill Par 4.
- They are developing a 3rd course that will be a true championship Gold Level course, so there will be complete balance in one venue, when combined with course 2, which is a Pitch and Putt course that challenges you to go double digits below par in the most insane and fun setting
- I think this has become my favorite course in the country and I am pinching myself, because I am moving to downtown Portland this weekend and will be able to play here frequently
- I played Luck Mud yesterday for the first time and it blew my mind. I figured it would be a long time before I found a comparable course and then BANG!- I find myself at Hornings and get my mind blown out. This is a DG paradise and now clearly makes Portland THE disc golf destination vacation in the USA, when you can play McIver, Pier Park, Horning's 1, 2 and soon to be 3, Trojan and Lucky Mud (OFF THE HOOK)- Oh I forgot, Portland is the Micro Brew capital of the country and incredible wine country is just a short drive away

Beautiful setting--very serene, picturesque landscape - scores of peacocks strutting around, deer -- old growth forest
Surprisingly close to Portland--about a 30 minute drive
Very friendly hosts, they give very clear directions--they even give you a clean towel for your discs that you just leave when you're done
Tee pads are level, stable and more than adequate--plus they fit into the environmental theme of the resort
Numerous and very clean porta-potties
Good use of elevation changes
Very good signage, with not only distance but elevation changes noted
Great mixture of holes...short, long, very technical, right and left fades, sharp right and left doglegs, superb elevation shots--something for everyone
Wooded holes are incredibly manicured with a number of very distinct paths to the basket that each offers a different risk/reward
Very easy to follow course...numerous signs giving direction to the next tee
Homemade baskets are all consistent and solid--they grab even laser putts

Not really any cons...this course has everything a serious disc golf enthusiast could want

This course is an amazing example of the love of the sport...who could ever imagine that a private course could be so complete...if you want a good DG mini vacation...this is your place...all skill levels can enjoy the complex because course 2 is a very fun short course.

They are creating a 3rd course right now up in the hills...I can't wait until it's done

This course, with Lucky Mud, can be an anchor for a serious road trip to the Northwest and should be on the wish list of anyone who enjoys being pushed to the limit

- Difficult, but fun even if you're a novice.
- Most of the course is in the woods.
- quiet semi-secluded country setting
- well-worth the $3 course fee.
- Well-designed home-made targets. Durable and vandal-resistant.

- course is poorly marked
- flight path diagrams are drawn from a backward perspective making them extremely confusing.
- Minor nit: uneven tee surfaces
- Minor nit: it's often difficult to find the target from the tee.

I'm new to the sport, and this is only the second course I've played. (I've played Orchard Park several times.)

First and foremost, I will return to this course often. It's just a ton of fun, and a great way to kill an afternoon. You actually take a hike through the woods to play the course. So it combines one of my favorite sports (hiking) with my newest endeavor, disc golf.

the holes are difficult, no doubt, be even a novice like me, managed to par a couple of holes, and most of the rest were either single or double bogey.

Criticisms:
When I arrived, I asked for a course map and was told there is no need, as the course is "self-explanatory." Unfortunately, it's really not... at least not entirely. All the signs are hand-writen with magic markers and/or sharpies, and they are poorly maintained. Hand-writen/drawn in and of itself is not bad, but everything is faded and many are impossible to read.

For a couple of the holes, I had to traipse around looking for the tees because there were no signs guiding me to them, or they were completely faded.

Flight Path Diagrams:
These were the most frustrating part of the course for me. They are drawn from a backwards perspective, and often you have to stand with your back to the flight path to read them.

I'm an old fat man, and by the time I got to the to the back 9, the last thing I wanted to have to do was flip the diagram around backwards in my head to figure out where to throw the frizbee.

Ok, well now that I've slammed the signage, I will reiterate that this is an incredibly fun course to play and I will return often.

- Excellent variety of terrain and length: some wide-open shots, some through trees, no boring shots. #18 is a classic -- 600 feet down a hill and over a seasonal swamp.
- Elevation is a factor on most holes.
- Real fairways in the forested sections; trees have actually been removed to create the course.
- Homemade yellow baskets are extremely visible and catch quite well.
- Beautiful setting in the foothills of the Tualatin Mountains; suitable for year-round disc golf.
- Two other disc golf courses on-site, and the $3 entrance fee is for "all you can play."
- Nice concrete teepads.

- The homemade baskets aren't perfect.
- Maybe a few too many similar short holes in the middle section.
- In the middle of nowhere (but the existence of two other courses on-site makes this less of an issue).

Horning's Hideout is a peacock-infested privately owned venue for camping, fishing, picnicking, weddings, concerts, etc. The first disc golf course, the Canyon Course, materialized out of the blue in May of 2008 and was an instant success. With barely any input from the local disc golf community at large, Bob Horning and his crew managed to build one of the best courses in northwestern Oregon. Since it's private land, they can do whatever they want, whenever they want to make the course better -- and they have and will.

As another reviewer mentioned, HH is 10 miles away from any other services (restaurants, stores, etc.), so pack a lunch if you're planning to spend all day golfing. There are a few snacks and sodas available for purchase at the main house, though.

UPDATE, November 2009: With the addition of concrete teepads, my rating goes up from 4 to 4.5 stars. Very nearly a 5.

-Peacocks all over the place.
-Maps available and well posted holes.
-Fun and challenging holes.
-Lots of great scenery.
-Things for all to do. Such as hiking, fishing, volley ball, horse shoes, camping, and concerts during the summer.
-Towels are available to use and return for the wet Oregon ground.
-Friendly service.
-Season passes are now available.
-Fair price for a day away from it all.
-Nice home made baskets.
36 holes and more coming.

-I guess the ground can be a little moist, but its disc golf.
-Long ways off of highway.

The two cons were a stretch for me. I just really love this place. I have been going there for years and now it has disc golf. Wow! I cant complain.
