Overall: Well maintained, free, good for beginners, or introducing someone to disc golf, holes offer some variety of shots and obsticals.
#3- This is a fun hole with two separate lines of trees standing between you and the basket. Do you throw over, risk going under, or lay up.
#4-The basket is behind the tallest pine tree, great opportunity for a flick.
#7-This wooded hole reminds me of a bowling ally can you make it through the trees.
#9-Nice wide open hole, which is either a pro or a con, depending on what you like.

Course Design: Good flow of holes, most holes are well designed.

Overall: Pedestrians, crowded during peak times, soggy during the wet season, some "entertaining players (e.g. talking bushes)"
#1- Have to watch for pedestrians or other fast moving objects (four), and the things that create shade.
#3- pathway behind basket, so be careful of pedestrians or cyclists (wonder if a disc would knock one over).
#5- Again with the pedestrians, on the left for the wildly left shot.

Course Design: It is pretty easy to hit pedestrians. A few more ground obstacles would be nice, such as low shrubs or trees to suck up low shots. Possibly extending the holes a bit.

Overall: Family or short course that is good for most beginners and can keep intermediate players entertained. Higher level players may be entertained by other players shenanigans.

Most holes have tree's in play for mildly errant throws. 1 wooded hole (#7), 2 holes that punish shots to the right (#2, #4) plus a few holes that punish extraordinarily wild shots.

If you think about this course as a place to practice your upshot and your putting game then this may be a 3.5. There are different hole placements that make this course serviceable.

If you're looking to get out of the house on a sunday morning to get the day started this course can do the trick.

There can be lot's of walkers on the paths around the holes (especially on hole 1). It is very muddy and soggy in some spots when it rains a lot. Not a quality course. Overall it is not a 3 and some may say a 2.5 is a little generous.

Don't expect it to be AMAZING and this course is actually pretty cute. I would say it isn't a full out "course" I just think of it as a "putting range" and it does it's job in that right.

Lots of open space.
Short, short, short, all holes are birdie-able.
Good warm up course if you're doing a tour.

DONT GO RIGHT!!!! All out of bounds is too the right, so catch a gust on a skybound disc, and you're wandering through the 8 foot tall grass for a while.

Easy to navigate.
Good use of OB and mandatory throws. You have to know how to throw fading to the left and right.
Nicely kept w/nice tee blocks, signs, and baskets.
Hard to lose discs.

Very crowded.
All the baskets can be reached in one throw by a descent player. Good and bad I guess. Not challenging, but at least it's a good opportunity for an ace.

Ultimately a great course for beginners or players looking for a quick round and chance to work on their short game. Expect to play it a couple times since it is only 9 very short holes (longest is 300 ft).

Close-in makes it convenient to zip over there during the lunch hour to get in a quick round. Park is well manicured, so you don't have to do a lot of hunting to find discs. Fairly level terrain won't have you all sweaty by the time you head back to the office.

Short course - 9 holes, each less than 300 ft. Most drives setup for birdies. Lots of foot-traffic on the trails surrounding the course, and if you're not careful, you could potentially lodge a disc in the roof of some walker's mouth. In the winter time, the course tends to have lousy drainage between holes 2 and 3, so the ground is a bit swampy/mucky. Because this is a fairly novice level course, there also tends to be a lot of slower traffic and folks with their little kids out playing. Expect to do a lot of waiting on sunny weekend days, or even weekdays when the kiddos don't have school.

This is a great little course for a lunch-time quickie. I wouldn't count it for more than that. My office is close by, so I walk down there to play almost daily. It's good for a quick round.

- Not complicated/ easy to navigate
- Fun, short holes make for a relaxed and enjoyable round.
- Baskets, tees, and grounds are all maintained extremely well.

- Although the course is relaxed, it also isn't very challenging either.
- Most of the holes can be reached by advanced players with a putter or mid.

I would recommend this course to a beginner or someone fairly new to the game, but anyone semi-advanced will find this course to be unexciting and dull.

There isn't that much else to say about this course. It's short and not very technical.

- Great signage
- Cement tee pads
- Meticulously maintaned course. Mowed grass, trash cans everywhere
- Well placed trees that will really make the course better in 5-10 years when they mature fully.
- Easy to navigate
- Pretty setting
- Wood chips around all the baskets

- No real cons. It is what it is. A cool little 9 hole city park that everyone should be grateful exists for the community
- Could get dangerous on the last few holes with overlap with walking paths and conflicts with other park users on busier weekend days

- Ideal place to introduce friends or family to the game. 9 holes, easy to navigate, no real risk of losing discs. Just good family fun

Very good use of available space
Very well maintained
Very clean
Nice vibe
Good signage
Great tees
Great baskets
Awesome course for beginners
A superb place to introduce newbies to the sport - I saw a group of six start after us and 2 were players and the other 4 were playing for the first time--how cool is that
Trees planted strategically to create obstacles...as they mature, they will really change the dynamics of the course
There is some very nice wooded areas next to the course that may allow them to expand...hole 7 is a great example of the potential of this area
A good place to play with shots that you want to work on, like playing the WHOLE course forehanded

The cons that I found are not a fault of the design but more a result of the limited space and terrain
It could get a little "dangerous" if crowded...walking paths throughout the course and some of the fairways overlap or are very close to each other

This is a great warm up type of course and if you are doing a trip to Horning's, this is worth a stop and a few minutes of your time

Nice clean park, always kept up nicely.
Good baskets, tee signs, and now, new tee pads.
holes 8 and 9 are interesting and challenging for many players.
hole 7 is a unique shot into a very small protected green.
Restrooms (clean!!)
Weekly doubles league through the summer (Tuesday nights)
Wind can add a much needed challenge factor.

Very simple, only 9 holes.
Flat, on the whole the course is rather unremarkable.
Not very challenging.

Orchard park is a charming 9 hole course, it's great for beginners and shines a good light on the game of disc golf for newer players, what with the clean look and general lack of trash or crime. I really only come out to Orchard for the weekly league but people living on the west side of Portland really should check it out. Folks just passing through would be better of at courses like Pier or Milo.

This might be the world's cleanest course. Some of the brand new tee pads have another ring of bark built around them. The baskets are new. The holes are short, easy with little chance of a lost disc. It would be the perfect course to introduce a newbie to the game.

Very little challenge for advanced players. No holes to really air it out on. I can see it getting really crowded.

I see this as the ultimate little yuppie course. I think they should install an expresso machine. Maybe have their own Starbucks. Think Paris Hilton playing disc golf!

Very good course for friends and family who are just learning how to play. Good baskets and great new cement teepads. Well layed out and great signs to guide you through the course.

Very easy course and can be overly crowded. The course can be mastered within just a few rounds and gets boring quickly.

There is a great weekly tournament through out the summer that attracts tons of golfers of all skill levels.
