Criss-cross course

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 13, 2023 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Tualatin Community DGC located in Tualatin Oregon is a decent little 15 hole course. This course plays on the Boones Ferry Community Church property. This course is one massive hill winding it's way up and down.

I've played this course a few times, once back in 2016 and 2018 and once recently. My first time playing this course it could have passed by with a 1.5 rating but they have recently made some improvements. They removed some of the garden beds in the middle of the course. I remember playing my first time and there were gardeners working in the garden beds right in the middle of a few of the holes. Other reviewers have mentioned this as well.

The course upkeep is pretty good. There's some nice maps on hole 1 with the distances on the scorecard. Several mandos on a few of the holes offering for a challenge. Nicely mowed. Decent baskets. Small tee pads.

Cons:

I feel like this should be a nine hole course. They seemed to make a 15 hole course work but the lot is a little to small for it. Not to mention that all the holes overlap one another making it so that you have to walk up and down the hill several times. It also makes the course a little chaotic espeically with other people present.

If for some reason this course was packed it would be incredibly hard to play, with discs flying all over the place. A nice nine hole course with no overlapping holes would bump my rating up.

There are a lot of places to go wrong on this course. A few holes play too close to the church with exposed windows, just waiting for an accident. Some of the holes share baskets which I found to be interesting. If you throw a disc with a lot of speed you could risk going into the road.

Other Thoughts:

They seem to keep this course in great shape and have made some improvements. I think a hardware upgrade and a new layout would definitely be something that should be implemented. It would be hard to play this course on a busy day and sharing a basket with someone on another hole. Overall it's a pleasant little course. Props to the Boones Community Church for keeping this course in good shape for over 12 years!

Not a whole lot of fun 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 15, 2020 Played the course:once

Pros:

All the holes were visible and easy to see. There were some fun shots here and there. Some of the holes were really open so you could let it fly.

Cons:

A really crammed course with some really confusing holes. Nine holes would've been acceptable, 15 is too much especially since all the holes are used more than once. The course maps were not available at hole one so it would've been impossible to navigate the course without our online map. There was only one other group but we still had to yield to them more than once as all the holes crisscrossed.

Other Thoughts:

The course was kind of boring and all the scenery was the same. I'd go here if you went to every other course in the area first.

Pros:

Course is super easy to find and you can see most the baskets from the main road. There some horse mat for and tee numbers for some of the holes. The baskets have the hole number marked inside of them which is crucial cause most the baskets are used for multiple holes same with the tee pads.... two par 4s and road and flower garden as ob add to the challenge as most holes are fairly open. Each basket is a different color which actually helps so you know what hole to play or throw to. Not much risk or losing a disc but you could possibly hit a car in parking lot or road

Cons:

That being said I feel this shouldn't be a 15 hole course it feels way to crammed and if you're not the only group out that day you'll probably have issues. There was an area for maps and scorecard how ever none where inside the box when we checked it would have helped immensely. Course is hard to follow without using u disc or some sort of map. Couple holes play right next to the church, and I'm sure it's been hit numerous times. Multiple baskets and tee pads are reused and tee pads aren't marked to well.some have boards in ground or little white flags but can be tricky to find.

Other Thoughts:

There's not much space here and I feel they would have been way better off with a good 9 hole course instead of trying to force 15 holes. I'm glad to have another place to throw but no way you could hold more than 2 groups at a time here.

Accident waiting to happen 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Feb 15, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

-This course is a 15-hole course that plays safari-style with many shared baskets and teepads, and lots of crossing fairways on a small church property. Given the land size restriction, they made the best with what they had.
-Part of the land is on a hill, making for interesting shots. Mature trees make it a really nice property. All types of holes are featured at this course, from ace runs to doglegs, to uphill par fours.
-Maps are available near the first tee.
-It's the only course in the area. It's nice that the church welcomed the community and put a course here.
-Tee signs on every hole and numbers on every basket help with navigation. Still, you really need the map to find your way.
-The baskets are color-coded per the map, so make sure to use it, or you'll be crazily confused. They have the hole numbers that use each basket (2 or 3 holes per basket) on the pole.
-The grass was mowed and the course dry in the winter.

Cons:

-At the front of every teepad, there's a little PVC pipe with a sign sticking out of the ground, telling you which tee it is for. And I mean RIGHT in front of the teepad. The poles stick about 3 feet up. It took me half the round before I figured out you can remove them.
-Be careful. The fairways criss-cross in a crazy fashion. Watch out for other players. You might be throwing at the same basket as someone else. When I played it was just my group and one other group, and we had to wait for each other multiple times. If it were busy, it would be one crazy, unsafe mess.
-Between the garden shed windows, people working in the garden, the church windows, the road, and cars in the parking lot, it seemed as if every hole I had to play safe to avoid doing damage. I understand they tried to do the best with the property they had, but I almost think a 9 hole pitch and putt would work better here, with the option to play a safari course if you're the only one there.
-Hole 5 plays over half the parking lot. DON'T park on that back half of the lot if you care about your car windows. Park as near to the entrance as possible.
-The teepads were a mish-mash of natural, rubber mats, and concrete (parking lot). Many of them were not level.

Other Thoughts:

-I enjoyed my round here, but I was one of the only people here on a weekday afternoon. I wouldn't dare coming on weekends. If it were crowded it would be impossible to have any fun.
-I really appreciate how the church supports a disc golf course here, and I honestly can't imagine that they haven't had a window broken or a gardener hit by a disc or a churchgoers' car window broken. It just seems like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Local and Fun 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 7, 2012 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- This is a fun course with a nice variety of of elevation shots.

- Nice variety of distance shots and short "par 2"

- Baskets are nice. All are Mach IIIs except for one Discatcher Sport.

Cons:

- Almost all of the holes are open or have just one tree in the fairway.

- The fairways cross, which isn't too bad if you're the only person out there (which I was when I played), but if there is anyone else it could get dangerous.

Other Thoughts:

I live in Sherwood so it's nice to have a course nearby even though it's not spectacular. I can still see myself coming here once a week in the summer to practice.

If you're in the area, I would suggest checking it out.
