-This course is set in an area of the giant Alton Baker Park, very near downtown Eugene. It is convenient and the amount of players showed it.
-There are a lot of interesting holes. Just the right amount of trees make for an enjoyable round. There are four or five pin placements on each hole to mix things up.
-There's a pro shop, but it's basically just a TuffShed. They sell discs, though.
-Two practice baskets are nice. There are a bunch of stones near the practice baskets at various distances with numbers painted on them, to I suppose do a putting-course. This is an interesting feature.
-There are very helpful tee signs, large and in color. However they do not specify that day's basket location.
-The artificial turf teepads were nice. They were soft and grippy. At one point they probably were too grippy but the rain wore them in.
-Elevated baskets were featured multiple times. It's always a nice change of pace.
-The Chainstar baskets were fairly new (this course is only 3 years old) and caught great.
-Trash cans were frequent.
-Many tree stumps/benches adjacent to every tee were great. There was room for ten people to sit on most every hole.

-Obviously someone put a good deal of time and work into this course, but it could use a lot of modifications. The most obvious of these has to do with the long grass. Most every hole had a narrow, defined fairway with tall grass on each side and sometimes crossing the fairway. It's a lame attempt at OB. The fairways are too narrow for me to take the OB seriously. Even the pros would find the OB silly. And even if you didn't consider the tall grass OB, it's still a pain to look for your disc in it. You'll be picking thorns out of your socks at the end of the round. Now, a patch of long grass here or there is okay, but when it's everywhere the course is no fun.
-There are a great deal of hazelnut trees on this course. Hazelnut trees are the worst. Short, ugly, thick, and they eat your discs.
-Whoever designed this course must have really liked throwing low shots. It seemed as if every hole had a tree with low hanging branches in front of the tee. Val Jenkins would do good here but not everyone can throw a 300 foot worm burner. Many of the holes aren't easily reachable because throwing a high shot is not possible.
-The course seemed to heavily favor RHBH players. That's my primary shot so I don't mind but I know others do. At the end of the round I realized I only threw one forehand the entire day!
-The course did not flow very well at all. The course crossed itself multiple times and there were many walks between holes.

-The fee is $3 but when I played on Memorial Day it was free.
-This course is on a really nice piece of property but unfortunately the course wasn't designed to its full potential. All that needs to happen is long grass removal, hazelnut tree replacing, and a full course redesign. Okay, that's more like a lot that needs to happen. But it could!
The land is nice, and the course is well kept, so I feel it deserves a three. A redesign could easily bring the course up to a 4 or maybe more.

Best part about this course (for locals) is that it is centrally located in Eugene, and can be reached from most parts of town in 10 minutes or so. It's a fun little course, designed well given the constraints on land, and the seasonal restrictions due to the nearby concert venue parking situation. Good practice course, especially for mid-range and fairway. OB markers increase difficulty. I like the artificial turf pads, always had good footing on them. Has many alternate pin locations, including some new longer positions. Pay to play fee is very reasonable especially if you buy an annual pass. Course upkeep has continued to get better and more consistent with many beautification projects happening. On-site Pro shop, rental discs, snacks.

The course is short, cramped in some sections, and does not have the kind of varied terrain or vegetation to make it great. The OB at times seems arbitrary. . Some of the newer, longer pin settings make safety an issue on a course with a few safety issues already due to space available.

Speaking of impacts, there is zero tree protection on this course and with the heavy use it gets many of the trees are heavily scarred and damaged already after less than two years. Some simple protection in a few strategic places would do a lot. The operation of the course is by contract with the City of Eugene.

I love having a course I can get to quick and play a quick round. Alton Baker practice rounds have improved my game a lot. A lot of people worked for years to get this course approved and it has been by most standards a big success.

Alton Baker Park is conveniently located right next to Autzen Stadium and the UO. This large mostly flat, sprawling park provides plenty of room for the disc golf course.

The course's many amenities start with great tee signs with hole #, sponsors name, a picture of the hole, distance, routes and up to four pin locations. Currently they use a little piece of red tape to indicate the current basket position. How about drilling a hole in the tee sign next to each position A-B-C-D and inserting a colored washer to indicate basket position. Much better system!

The tee pads are over-sized recycled artificial turf pads set inside framed tee boxes with bark all around. They're very level built over crushed rock. The pads have a painted foul line about two feet from the front allowing for a safe follow through. I've not seen this line on any of the 575 courses I've played. But it's a great idea!

The day I played, everything was in the A & B positions so the course played as a recreational length course. Because it's flat and open in places, it's never going to be an advanced /Pro challenge type course, even from the C-D positions. If you're looking for that challenge, go to Dexter or Whistler's Bend.

I liked # 9 today in it's 198' ACE run position.

# 15 & 16 were a little longer, 300' plus from the A and B positions.

This is a pay to play course. $3 is the toll, I guess. There were a lot of players playing today so I don't think $3 is keeping many away.

The recreational length/challenge might be a CON for some but this course will see plenty of players.

The Marshall was out checking on the course so I never did locate the guy to give him my $. I figure Uncle Phil Knight can pay my for my round today.

The disc golfers had to battle long andhard with the runners (The famous Prefontaine Trail crosses through this park) to get permission to construct this course. Only once, at # 18, do you even get close to the running trail. This being such a large expanse, there is plenty of room for runners, bikers and disc golfers to all co-exist.

Now the Eugene disc golf community needs to develop the little three baskets practice area at Sladden Park. That could be a cool little elementary length 9 holer there.

Cool park. Good use of available space. Some holes had nice lines/windows. Garbage cans. Good signage. Nice people managing the check-in booth.

OBs were over-used and silly. Some holes parallel each other in open fields. Paying $3 is a bummer for a course in a public park.

This was a decent course. It's nice to have an 18-hole available IN Eugene. I'm actually surprised there aren't more disc golf courses near by.

-Some tight fairways.
-plays quick.
-nice typical oregon park
-lots of basket locations that will move often
-manicured cut grass through most of park.

-a little Repetitive.
-pay to play (if it wasn't, wouldn't exist)

You can buy an annual membership. I think the course is still young and needs time. A lot of the basket locations were straight ahead but there is possibility for more variation. I would like to see other setups before I completely make up my mind. Better than west Moreland.
