Pros:
-This is a fun, 9-hole course open to the public located at the Xerox campus in Wilsonville, OR. The first two holes play through woods, and the the next seven through a lightly wooded field next to the Xerox office building.
-The course was well-designed with a great variety of holes. #1 is easily the most difficult, a tight 272 foot anhyzer through woods. The course features four holes under 200 ft, but the designer expertly placed the baskets behind trees to add a challenge factor. To top it off, hole 9 affords an opportunity to crush, at 382 feet.
-The DGA tee signs were simple but did the job. They showed the OB, mandos, and trees.
-Some courses at office parks are located dangerously close to parking lots, roads, and buildings. Not the case here.
-There's a large field past hole #9, perfect for field practice. However I was told this area is extremely swampy in the winter.
Other Thoughts:
-The parking lot is right next to the second tee, but not the first. You'll have to back track about 400 feet toward the entrance. Print a map to help you find your way. But I'm not complaining. Hole #1 is a great hole.
-This is a solid course, with potential. With upgrades of concrete tees and pruned trees, it would earn at least a 3 average rating.
-Now Wilsonville has two nice 9-hole courses, in Xerox and Memorial. Both are less than 5 minutes from I-5 and worth the stop if you're driving through. I enjoyed my round here, and I'm sure I'll be back.
