Unplayable due to Lack of Maintenance. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 26, 2019 Played the course:once

Pros:

First few holes have some interesting challenge. The woods are heavy so you have to deal with obstacles, but they aren't so bad that they prevent good shots. Discs can get lost in undergrowth though.

Cons:

The site does not appear to be maintained at all. This was probably the fifth course in the PDX/Salem area I went to this year, and all those courses have had some kind of maintenance done on them. However, when we got to hole five the grass was over five feet tall and we could not even see the basket. We wouldn't even play the hole for fear of not being able to find the disc. For hole six we could not find the teepad and checked two different online maps to make sure we were in the right spot. For holes 7-9, the tees were in a nice open field for some easy beginner shots, but again the grass was probably 2 feet tall. We could only spot the tees due to the missing patches of grass and again we didn't dare throw discs for fear of losing them. At this point we just gave up because half the course was unplayable. You could say that I just went at a bad time, but again other courses in the area are playable and another review from somebody who went a month after I did also notes that two holes were unplayable due to overgrowth. So this would seem to indicate a persistent problem.

Other Thoughts:

Having at least walked the course, I can see where this course could get a rating of 3 or 3.5 if it were playable. I suppose if you live in Canby and this is all you have nearby its better than nothing, but if you're just passing through, Wilsonville and Champoeg are only a small detour away.

Not related to the actual course, but the walking paths through Eco Park itself are incredibly beautiful. As other have noted, there is a half mile walk from the parking lot to the course, but its worth making a detour to right a bit and going through the wooded path instead of the jogging path.

Pros:

The good: Well-marked course with quality baskets. Holes 5 and 6 have a beautiful view of the Willamette River.

Cons:

This course is completely overgrown with brush. If you want to lose a few frisbees, this is the course for you. If you still insist on playing, be sure you bring along a frisbee spotter. And be sure you don't use a green frisbee. Also, there is an 0.4 mile walk just to get to the first tee.

Other Thoughts:

I think this course has potential, but it would require major brush removal and ongoing maintenance, which clearly isn't happening. As it is, the course is an exercise in frustration. I will never play this course again.
