Pros:
This 9 hole course is fairly well laid out in a city park along the Columbia River. There is some variety of shots, including a dogleg left on 2 to keep discs away from the tennis courts and a longer throw into a small arboretum on 3. There are pads for all holes, altho some are short, and good baskets. Sign shows map of all holes and is easy to follow. The park is well maintained with bathrooms, garbage cans, and a nice kids play area.
Park was fairly busy but all holes were clear except 2 in practice field and other park users were aware and polite.
Cons:
Biggest one is holes 7 and 8 play across a baseball practice field. I was unable to throw them due to practice. Rethrew 4 and 6 to make full 9 holes. 6 plays close fenced baseball field and can be easy to OB.
Sign with map and pad for 1 are hard to find(in landscaping between baseball diamond an tennis court) and most holes are straight throws of varying lengths.
Right on River without trees so you get full force of wind in this often windy area.
Other Thoughts:
Getting from I-5 to park was rough. Directions were slightly off and traffic was very backed up due to bridge painting.
After having a hard time getting to course and then finding 1st tee I wanted to hate this course and just couldn't. Beautiful day along the river, nice view of Mt. St. Helens, and course is one of the better done ones I have seen for a Scout project. It's really too bad park is small enough that 2 holes are in practice field. Not sure I would go too far out of the way to play this one, especially with all the courses in Portland area, but is good for a local course.
