4.00 star(s) The Present versus The Potential NOTE: Course is currently in the middle of a redesign from 18 holes to 27 holes. All 27 are playable but navigation is difficult. * Beautiful location on the Umpqua River, oak groves, rolling hills, scenic viewpoints, wildlife, etc. * Amenities are good -...

Yeah I'd say if you want 'epic' disc golf I'd go out to Milo McIver and play all 27, then a ten minute drove to Timber Park for another 18. Maybe multiple rounds at these courses is doable, although playing them both is a pretty full day. These are both beautiful courses with a lot of...

3.50 star(s) Getting better but still needs work * Nice location - oak groves provide shade, flat grassy meadows and some understory shrubs in the rough. Beautiful in the late spring and early fall especially. * Some challenging holes, decent variety of shots. The new design is quite long (maybe too long)...

Yeah very true. Although for us mortals, I think most of us still play a lot better with the discs we like to use than we would with pie plates. ;-) I ordered an Upper Park Shift this morning. Looks like the right size bag for me (Rebel is probably overkill), and I like that they've steadily...

4.50 star(s) Still one of the top courses in Portland * Good signage at each tee, concrete tees, neon green baskets (a huge improvement) are easy to spot. Benches on most holes. * Beautiful location - big trees, grassy fields, understory vegetation. Lots of shade for hot summer days. Most of the holes...

Funny you should mention that. Stopped by Disc Golf Depot today and got some new discs. Understable/overstable pairs, of four different ranges/speeds. All equal weights in their speed type. Vulcan/Destroyer. Roadrunner/Firebird. Kite/Roc. Wedge/Rhino. Also got a fresh Aviar and a few...

Thanks for the tips and thoughts everyone. I'm liking the look of the upper park backbacks quite a bit; I will probably get one of those. Glad to know there are a lot of options out there. My experience with the DX plastic has definitely been a lot of wear over time. I have retired or...

Hey all. Long time website user but finally signed up. Disc golfing since about '93 or so, in Oregon USA. I have a lot of old Innova DX discs that are pretty beat up, and some newer Discraft Z and Innova Champion discs. You can see the list here if you're curious, went through them recently...

5.00 star(s) Paradise found * Challenging course with wide variety of shots across 27 holes with Pro and Amateur tees. You will want to come back again and again. This course should be on your bucket list. * Holes usually have multiple angles of approach, and reward a variety of play styles. Quite a few...

3.00 star(s) Aptly named - good for a quick game * Decent tees (some concrete, some rubber), DISCatcher baskets, some signage. Some alternate tees. * Ample free parking, free to play, friendly locals. * Nice variety of longer drives and short technical shots. * Some very challenging holes even on a short...

4.00 star(s) I dub thee "The Punisher" * Good signage, benches, tees, baskets, and general facilities. * Well-maintained course, that's what the entrance fee pays for. * Will challenge you to be your best and help you build arm and core body strength. * Decent variety of hole designs with a couple good...
