Nice tee signs and pads
Baskets our in good condition and mostly visible from tee box
Layout is very well done no crossing fairways easy to follow
Hole 13 has a long par 4 or short island hole if baseball fields our in use cool throw
Good mix of long and short holes and forehand/backhand
No real chances at lost disc ground foliage is easy to find everything
Really beautiful views some minor elevation change. Good tree placements and overall a solid course

Not many it's a great course it just dosen't have that super wow factor, or signature type hole. The elevation change is pretty minor and the course can get busy with other park users so might have to wait for them to pass. Course dosen't have many super hard holes, easy to recover on most even with bad drive.

All in all this a great cours, not the best in Oregon but for sure worth a play if you're somewhat close! Another great addition Oregon has to offer and very fun round

Nicely wooded with open holes as well. Good concrete tees. Map of course at hole 1. Nice elevation changes. Good DISCatcher baskets. Great veiw of the Columbia River Gorge. Variety of hole distances. Variety of shots required.

No hole signs. Hole 18's basket is away from hole 1's tee. Some long walks between holes. There's a par 2, it is short but still.

Solid course with mature trees.

This is my home course. I think it's a nice course, and I feel lucky to have it. Very tight fairway, seems like you are always trying to sneak around trees. In 2015 we got signs for all the holes, and arrows under the baskets pointing to the next hole (unless the basket gets rotated). So it's easy to navigate now. Hole 13 has two tee locations: long is by the tennis courts and is a par 4, if the field is in use there is a 13 short with special rules posted on the sign. Holes 17+18 were changed in spring of 16' to improve flow.

Hole 1 is a long uphill drive that you have to keep low under the branches. Hole 2 is downhill need an easy anhyzer or forehand shot, but there is also a backhand route. Hole 3 is a long hyzer in, although there is an anny route, but's its a more difficult path. Holes 4+5 are pretty straight forward then you have an odd transition to hole 6 (Walk towards Mt. Adams in the distance). After hole 6 you walk all the way back in the same direction you just threw to hole 7. Hole 7 you can throw down the middle but many of the locals use a big hyzer route to the hole. After hole 8 you walk across the street for 9. The next several holes have a good flow. After hole 12 you either walk to the tennis courts for 13 long (par 4) or across the baseball field for the par 3. When you get to hole 15 it's the easiest on the course, the best chance for birdie, with a hyzer into the hole. Hole 16 you must throw between 2 trees or get a penalty stroke and drop at the trees. Holes 17 & 18 were changed in March 16', 17 is now a 347 uphill long anhyzer, but it's idea for the long forehand. Walk uphill & across the path to 18 where you throw back down towards the parking lot. Lots of people walking on the path, careful 18 is a fun hole as it looks easy but with a low ceiling and throwing downhill it's a more difficult birdie than you would guess.

Holes aren't very far. The longest 3 par hole plays a little over 400 if you add in elevation, with the average hole being around 300 feet. The course emphasizes accuracy more than distance. Just get ready to be creatively weaving your way through the trees. It's a fun course though. With the number of trees and varying wind many people have large discrepancies in the scores up here. Personally I have found 5 stroke differences between rounds more often that I'd like, based on hitting more branches and twigs 1 day compared to another. After playing all the courses in the gorge I would rate this the 2nd best course (after N. Bonneville) in the gorge.

If you plan on playing on the weekends or in the summer it's best if you are done by noon as the park gets busy. I find 8:00-9:00 a.m. as optimal times if you are looking to avoid people. It's a city park first, disc golf course 2nd.

The best basket markers I've ever seen, easily visible from the tees. Open and difficult to lose any plastic. Pretty decent flow and pins are well spaced. Overall good course design. Tees are all concrete and marked with embedded with tee numbers. Course has an overall map at start.

Overall map is pretty horrible. Why the microscopic numbering? Some holes and tees have changed locations but the map is the same. No tee maps. Next tee markers aren't clear so many new players of the course ended up teeing from the basket instead of looking for the next concrete tee. Concrete for each tee is WAY too short, can affect run-ups. Big gap between holes 12-13 with no indicator of the next tee and 13 is super short (ace practice).

This is another course that has great balance but just comes up short on signage and direction. Good for practicing technical shots around/through trees. No serious hazards, though I've been told it can get fairly windy. Some basket markers have been turned, making them hard to read from the tee when normally possible (since they are so massive).

beautiful park with great views of the Gorge and Mt. Hood and the 'Klicks'. All most all holes green well kept fairway/park. Pin placement and extra large trees make the throw fun. Example #11 has a nice looking 30 foot full tree directly in front of you making the shot now a hizer or anti hizer. fun, fun, fun!

Hole #1 and Hole #18 baskets are on a small hill (that's no problem) but their is a playground set up directly in the line of your throw. Must be careful of others using the park. Lots of kids, softball games, picnic goers and power walkers.

I really enjoy this course. Friend with me who played for the first time really liked the course. Pleasant time in the park!

This course is always fun to play. Gives all types of players the chance to throw a little of everything. You got the trees and the open fields and a few elevation changes. Plays quick. I like to play two rounds when I go there. .

Number Three pin used to be wet around it but last time I went seems they fixed the problem. I wish there were benches and trash cans near the tee pads. Watching and waiting for people on the path can mess up the vibe of the game but it happens in a park.. Oh yeah the wind, there is no shortage of it , but its The Dalles, what do you expect?

I love this course because it is close to where I visit family, and it challanges me every time I play there. Great people on the course everytime I have been . Their doubles match weekly is fun too. .

Has some long holes that are hard to drive the entire distance. The holes seem to open up after the drive so you can still save par if you hit a tree. It's also very difficult to lose a disc on this course unless you are a complete beginner with no control.

Construction on Hole number 3 spoils the hole. Hole 13 (I think that's the hole) is super short, almost not even worth having on the course. It feels like you're starting with your second shot at the tee box. Park is dual use and if it's a popular time, you'll be waiting for dog walkers, etc at your tee boxes.

Can be very frustrating for a beginner due to the number and proximity of trees. As your accuracy improves, you'll find the course more "challenging" and less "frustrating" because you know you can do it.

Birdies are very possible, even on longer holes. Number 8 would be the toughest to birdie. You'd need a drive of 350-375 at least to hole out in two. Other holes give you a great birdie shot on drives from 300-325'

Beautiful scenery
Easily accessible
Only decent course within 40 miles
