Play it Safari Style 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 2, 2019 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Short 9 hole course. First 2 holes are fun, then there are many holes that are par 2's under 100 ft. I decided after my first play through to make some safari holes. Here's what I did (all par 3's):
1. Play as is
2. Play as is
3. Play to hole 6 basket
4. Play hole 7 as is
5. Play to hole 9 basket

Cons:

Super short holes with little to no obstacles make holes 3-6 basically putting practice.

Short, good introduction and putting practice 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jun 28, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Great beginner course, especially for kids because it's extremely short and not a lot of lost-disc opportunity (although...it's possible). Great points made by last reviewer - for such a tiny short course it really gives good variety of throws including blind shots.

If you happen to be staying in Sunriver it's hard to complain that you can walk/bike to the course, finish 2-3 rounds and back to your cabin in an hour. Gave me the opportunity to get lots of putt and midrange practice while on vacation with the whole family - I played rounds both with and without them. Prior years I've had to fit a 1/2-day "off" in the family schedule to drive to Bend.

Cons:

Shortest course I have ever played and it was laughable at first. I paced one hole out at 75' and I think one other is shorter. The longest is a fun top-of-the-hill to a raised tee and I'd guess it's 250'. 2 holes are blind which is not ideal for a beginner course but do make a nice challenge for those who play more courses and find themselves here.

No signs at all. Not really needed since you can easily find the next hole but still, no signs. Course can attract globs of players with no clue and clog the course. That's the price to pay for encouraging novice players to start their career.

Other Thoughts:

I changed my rating from a 2.5 to 3 because once you accept the course for it's exact design - a very nice introductory course, the bulk of the "cons" may even become "pros". The course shouldn't be penalized for being easy, it deserves kudos for a pleasant and accessible introduction to disc golf AND an easy getaway for veterans that just really need their fix and can't get to Bend or farther out (WHY aren't there more courses in this region!? BLOWS me away!!)

Great Beginner Course! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 8, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Short but technical. An excellent intro to disc golf for kids or grown ups who haven't played much. Fun for even advanced players. The 3 holes across the street are more technical that the others and even more fun.

For what it's designed for, it truly accomplishes the goal: many kids will play this course as their introduction to disc golf and the concepts tested: shoot up, down, hyzer, anny, etc will be difficult for them but the length of the holes, at approximately 200ft average won't overlay frustrate the beginner.

Brand new Mach V baskets. Love em.

Bathroom at tee for one are clean and pretty high level for disc golf.

In the heart of sunriver. Next step: a championship 18 hole course somewhere on this amazing terrain.

Cons:

tees have no signage, but probably in the works as its a a brand new course

Course is very short, so big time players looking to air it out might find a better opportunity to do so elsewhere.

Hole 2 and 9 might be a little dangerous if someone were to be picnicking or strolling by these baskets and someone let loose a spike hyzer. Ouch!

Other Thoughts:

What a nice surprise! In the middle of sunriver a little gem of a course with fun shots abounding. The three holes across the road are really fun. More of that type of golf would be welcome at sunriver....

I'd rate a little higher if signage were completed but as it is, a solid 3 rating for being true to its intended design and brand spankin new
