Very Pleasant Surprise 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 7, 2013 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Length, some very long holes here, nearly 500 feet for a few. One of them was kind of like #4 at BRP. A few shorter holes to even it out as well. Still a few ace-able holes.
-Elevation. The pond is lower so 4 holes play up or down the hill and even in the first 4 some of those are elevated a bit.
-Awesome signs. They tell everything you need to know.
-Reasonable water hazzards. Good for all levels, not saying some shots won't go in the water but they weren't super hard.
-Nice long concrete pads.
-Nice innova baskets.
-Shelter, playgrounds, swimming pool, pond, baseball field, etc for other things to do here.

Cons:

-Bugs
-Possibly busy park with other things to do there
-Could lose a disc in the water
-Have to cross a road after 4 holes
-It is a park style course albeit a fairly long one with decent obstacles.

Other Thoughts:

Overall, I had a lot of fun here. I wasn't expecting too much in a town of less than 2000 at a city park but I was surprised. The course is longer than other city parks with elevation. It was not crowded at all and was just a lot of fun. I would definitely make a stop back here if I was in the area. Props to the designers and the city of Canby for making it happen.

This course at 4.33 is one of the more overrated courses out there. It's a lot of fun but there are no park style courses with 9 holes in small towns that I know of that are 4.33. It just is impossible to make that good of a course with the land that they have to work with. First two reviews are big time homer picks.
