Pros:
-course is located in a beautiful park, very scenic
-not a crowded park at all
-multiple pin locations
-benches at every hole
Not a lot of "pros" I can say for this course besides what is listed

Cons:
- tee pads were almost completely covered with debris (granted I know there was just a pretty big wind storm the past weeks)
- tee signs had fallen giving no direction
- no garbage bins at holes leads to trash floating around the course
- fairways are more like trails giving you only 5-8 feet of good landing space
- if you don't land in the fairway, you are searching for your disc for a couple of minutes before locating it (I would definitely recommend a spotter if you don't want to spend hours searching)
- this course seems that it was just placed in the middle of a trailhead. Although we didn't come across anyone since it was early in the morning, I can imagine there is some potential of hitting someone along the trail
- course is far too dense with trees and ferns to be able to play and have fun. You will hit a tree and it will more than likely ricochet and be hidden by the ferns
- the "pro" position baskets are in unrealistic locations for par 3. You can't see the basket until you walk halfway down the "fairway" at most of the holes.

Other Thoughts:
I would never play this course again. It is far too dense with trees to hit on every hole and with ferns to bury your disc even if you don't hit a tree.
If you're thinking of making the drive to this park from PDX area I would keep in mind that Hornings is closer and you would probably have a lot more fun there. If you do wind up going to stub, also keep in mind that if you don't like it, Hornings isn't too far back towards PDX
I understand that this is supposed to be a very technical course with lots of trees but I just feel that the location of these holes are to unrealistic to maintain par. My buddy has played this course when they were in the AM locations and he said that were more obtainable to get par with. Hopefully he is right and if any of you are to go there then the positions would be in the AM locations.
