Pros:
-This course is located at the Sunriver Recreation Center. It is the perfect length for kids or beginners staying at the Sunriver Resort, with no holes over 250 feet and most in the 80-120 foot range. It plays around the Winter Tubing Hill area, which adds the elevation factor.
-If you're new to the game, you may rent discs for $5 in the Recreation Center.
-Hole #2 is easily my favorite. It's 255', straight down one of the tubing runs to an elevated basket. It requires a precise midrange shot. The only other hole that presents somewhat of a challenge is #7, a blind putter shot over a corner of the hill.
-Nice, new Mach 5 baskets.
Cons:
-This course is simply too short to provide much in the way of challenge. There are 7 gimme birdies and 2 slightly tricky shots. But, of course, this place is designed for beginners, not experienced disc golfers. Still, It's a great upshot practice area if you make up some safari holes.
-A touch extra power on the downhill, hole #2 will put you right in the picnic shelter.
-The tee pads were two rubber mats with a 1 foot gap in between. This makes for some awkward run ups. Then again, you shouldn't need to take a run up on more than a couple holes.
Other Thoughts:
-If you're staying in Sunriver, I'd definitely be taking advantage of this course. It's just a 10-15 minute bike ride from the main resort complex. Any intermediate or advanced player should only need a putter and a midrange to play the regular course, but there are some fun safari hole opportunities. However, if you're looking for more of a challenge I'd recommend Hyzer Pines in Sisters or Pine Nursery in Bend.
-Hole 6 would have to be the easiest hole I've ever played. 75 feet, no obstacles, and a steep hill/backstop behind the basket. I'd bet that Ricky would ace this hole within five tries.
-Several small Ponderosa pines have been planted on holes 4-7. They offer little challenge now, as they do not exceed 10 or 15 feet in height.
-I have never played a course quite this short and am not sure exactly how to score it. It's a great course for what it is, but too short to challenge anyone other than a beginner. The entire course is the length of Hole 2E at Milo.
