Rooster Rock West Course is located in Corbett, Oregon sitting right on the Columbia River and offers for a very pleasant 9 holes. Rooster Rock State Park offers two nine hole courses. Let me tell you they are complete opposites. The east side is very heavily wooded and some technical lines. The west side offers for longer shots and more open holes.

Navigation on this course isn't that bad and follows a out to in sort of pattern. It's pretty straight forward. Not very crowded and the east course but still ran into some groups playing.

Decent hardware at Rooster Rock. Small concrete tee pads, Mach 5 baskets and tee signs.
Both sides at Rooster Rock are challenging by no means. Water comes in to play on holes 5 and 6. I've played this course twice and some of the holes have alternate tee pads and pin locations.

Hole 4 is a lovely hole. It kind of plays in this mini valley with a backdrop of beautiful cliff looking out at the river. Decent elevation change throughout the course. Nothing extreme but more of a subtle change.

Beautiful oak trees through out this side of the course. The scenery on the west course is truly spectacular.

Parking is extremely easy. There are hundreds of spots to choose from but you have to drive to the end of the parking lot or so to reach the first hole. This parking lot apparently serves as shuttle parking for Multnomah Falls.

This course gets very wet during the winter time. It reminds me a little bit of Dabney State Park just down the road, and that course can get some serious rain. I would recommend some wet weather clothes if you are going during the winter months.

Hole 5 basket is very close to the water. I'm not sure if that's the only pin location but the basket was far to close for comfort while putting. Hole 2 is not an amazing hole. You kind of have to throw and hope you get through.

This is one of a few courses along the Columbia river. Both the East and the West course are challenging and since it costs $5 to get in I would hit up both while your here.

What's nice about the east side is that since the west side has longer more open holes, the east side offers the technical wooded holes. There's not much variety in terms of holes on the the west side so it's nice that they have another the nine that is the complete opposite. Both courses are on opposite sides of the parking lot.

-Beautiful views
-Good distances for mid-range throwers

-Sparse signage
-Wind and road noise

Overall I would not come out to this course, specifically. It was nice to play both East and West, I enjoyed the tree coverage on the East side more.

-Rooster Rock West is the more traditional of the two 9-hole layouts at Rooster Rock State Park. It plays through a moderately wooded, picnic-type area.

-It's a well-designed course with a variety of lines. Over the course of 9 holes, you should use at least 6 or 7 different discs off the tee.

-Any course in the Gorge grants spectacular scenery. Cliffs, seasonal waterfalls, the Columbia River, Rooster Rock, and the Vista House are all within view from one point or another.

-Concrete tee pads, Mach 5 baskets, and a sign with a map near the first hole get the job done.

-Best Holes:
#4 is a slightly downhill, 340 ft flex shot with the basket perched on a small hill among three large trees.
#6 is the best hole on the course. It's a downhill, open shot measuring 280 ft with water on the right and a magnificent view. The right pin position makes this an exceptionally difficult hole.

-Potential for strong wind -- being less than 50 yards from the shore of the Columbia River, 30+. mph wind speeds are common.

Worst Holes:
#2 is a short, poke-and-hope through a dozen trees. If a few large branches were removed, there would be a good line.
#8 is another hole without a great line, at least in the right-hand position. The traditional position, straight ahead, is a much better hole.

-Not a crowded course. A round shouldn't take more than 45 minutes.

-This park has an enormous parking lot, part of which is used as shuttle parking for Multnomah Falls tourists.

-To locate the first tee, after passing the tollbooth, make a left and continue 2/3rds of the way down to the sea of parking lots. Park near the sign for Group Picnic Area D, which is adjacent to the first tee. If you arrive at the restrooms, you've gone too far.

-This is an enjoyable course to play. If you prefer park-style courses, a second spin around this course is your best bet. If you're feeling adventurous, however, check out the East nine.

Well maintained tee boxes.
Open drives.
Water Hazard.
Long holes, good for drive/approach practice.

Holes are not very clearly marked, can get lost in the fray of things.
Water hazard - haha.

Weather can be a factor out here, since you're on the Columbia River, a day can go from nice to terrible really quick. Come prepared.

*Relatively open, but enough trees to keep it interesting...
*Good flow
*Some good views of the Columbia river and gorge...
*For a pretty flat course, there are a couple holes that encorporate what little elevation there is quite nicely.
*Two holes where water can come into play with an errant shot.
*Nothing TOO long, but long enough to break out the drivers for some ridiculous ace runs...
*Ace Runs galore....
*Of the couple times I've played, I've never seen more than one other group on the course...
*A great chance to work on your game because its open enough to try new shots, but enough of a challenge to punish errant shots...

*No signs, and as another reviewer stated, you can see multiple baskets from a couple of the tees, so it can be a bit confusing...
*# 9 is very near an off-leash area, so beware of dog piles...
*There are no WOW holes, but at the same time, there are no horrible holes (see: Rooster Rock East #3)
*Its right next to I-84, so you can see and hear traffic, and you don't get the secluded feeling that you get on the East course.

I normally do not like more open courses, but this one is different for some reason. I'm not sure if its because of its close vacinity to Rooster Rock East (which can be amazingly frustrating..) or if its just because its a pretty cool course....

When you get into the park, go left after the pay station. The first hole is right off the road, near the off-leash area (I think there's a couple signs near the road)... From there the flow is pretty intuitive, it goes west (along the road) for three holes, then works its way back east for the remainder of the course...

This course, is by no means a destination course, but if you're driving along I-84, and you want a quick, fun 9, give it a shot...

- Mowed fairways, little/no brush
- Beautiful views
- Water hazards
- Complements Rooster Rock East

- Mostly flat
- Often very windy
- Not enough trees

The best thing about Rooster West is that it combines with its sister course on the east end of the park to make a pretty good 18. On its own, the west course is a little bit on the boring side. Most holes are more or less wide open, with the glaring exception of #2, which has almost no route at all. But it's nice to have a couple holes (#5 and #6) with real water hazards, as they're somewhat rare around here. Be prepared to deal with either headwinds or tailwinds on most holes.

The waterfall across from the #6 teepad is one of the best disc golf vistas in Oregon, especially on a summer evening.

By the way, the photos that are on here (as of 3/3/09) are a few years old. The course has concrete teepads and less tall grass now.
