-Hyzer Pines is a wonderful, 18-hole course set among a grove of Ponderosa Pines, the most common tree found in the Central Oregon Area. The course is located adjacent to Sisters High School.

-I always appreciate a course set in the natural landscape, and this course delivers. The trees are spaced out just right to test your shot-shaping abilities while also lending several opportunities to let it rip. Holes range from 250 to 500 feet.

-Innova Discatcher baskets with multiple positions on every hole. Many holes have positions 100 or more feet apart.

-I'm usually not a fan of rubber tee pads, but the ones here are in excellent condition and flush with the ground.

-Like most small-town courses, you should have the place nearly to yourself.

-There's an very nice signage board with a course map and information by the first tee. Each hole has a metal tee sign indicating the distance to each basket position.

-The course is completely flat. That, along with the scattered sagebrush, makes it a challenge to judge distances.

-The front nine is relatively clean. The back nine has thicker undergrowth as well as construction work going on. I would advise against throwing light yellow, brown, or clear colored discs.

-There's a water hazard on Hole 14, fenced in. One unfortunate tree kick, and your disc could easily be gone.

-No hole stands out particularly as the Signature hole.

-A few holes, especially on the back nine, lack a reasonable route to the basket.

-After entering the high school parking lot, proceed to the near left corner. Here, you will find the large entry sign and the first tee.

-This course is my favorite in Central Oregon. It has a wonderful mix of birdie chances and tough holes to play for par. The shade of the tall pines make for a refreshing experience on a hot day.

Great terain with tall Ponderosa pines, decent hole numbering signs, new large rubber tee boxes. Layout was interesting and multiple pin placements and tee boxes give the player variety. Many benches at tee boxes. Full 18 holes with DiscCatcher baskets.

Signage at tee boxes does not show where baskets are, nor which placement is in use. Tee box signs do not denote if they are the long or regular box placements. No trash receptacles throughout course, only at tee 1.

1 water hole was nice, little OB was nice, most trees are limbed up so more airspace for discs.

-Great variety of fairways that will test every shot in your arsenal, and constantly challenge you to come up with a few more
-Perfect mix of difficult par 3's with a few easier bird options mixed throughout
-Majority of holes have 2-4 pin placements(more on this later)
-Great use of signs to mark hole placement & ft to pin from the teepad
-A few holes with multiple tee options
-Beautifully maintained course
-Practice putting tee in the ground (HUGE points in my book)
-Perfectly challenging, without feeling unfair

-Course directions to next tee would be beneficial
-No real garbage/recycling cans throughout the course, so be prepared to pack everything out
-Static scenery(sage brush and pine trees everywhere) messes with depth perception and makes looking for discs disorienting, even in the fairway
-Course flow gets a little tricky after the first 9 on first play through
-Elevation changes.....there aren't any. However this isn't as much a con, just the 1 thing keeping Hyzer Pines from a 4.5 or 5.

This small town course is a real treasure. Not every hole will feel like a completely separate experience then the last, however every shot will feel new. With most fairways being littered with thin pine trees and underbrush, the difference of your placement 5ft left or 5ft right could mean an extra stroke (if not 2). Hyzer Pines will constantly keep you looking for a better line and wishing for better placement. That said you should know this course plays fair. Make smart solid decisions and you'll easily end up within a few strokes of par (either up or down). Lose concentration for a moment and you'll feel the wraith of bogeys start piling up.
Most holes have an extra pin placements that give the fairway a drastically different feel. IE hole 16 right placement requires a tight line drive up the middle for a perfect birdy putt. It's left placement I found myself throwing an elevated spike hyzer to base the pin. The difference between placement is within 30ft, completely different strategies, tiny variable of placement.
Take a course map or smartphone with you to help out with locating some of the pin placements or teepads. 1-9 play fluidly, but once you get to the back 9 (presuming you find it without a map) all bets are off.
Of small town (publicly funded) courses that I've played Hyzer Pines is one of the best. Right up there with Fort Walla Walla DGC. The course offers a ton of variety to it's constant local players, yet still has a great play-ability to bring in us tourists and keep things intresting.
