3.50 star(s) 2021 UPDATE to my 2008 Review -3.5 stars to 4 stars Well laid out design with a nice mix of hole difficulty, length and required shot shape. Quite a few holes allow for a choice of distinct paths/lines. There's also a nice mix of some wide open holes, medium foliage, and heavy foliage holes...

4.00 star(s) Challenging course with good hole variety, longer and shorter holes, doglegs left and right, tight holes and a few wide open shots. Good tee pads and baskets. Hole 3 offers a rare over-water shot. Weekly league through the summer. Course has a nice overall setting when the weather holds up...

I took a lesson from Nate Sexton way back in the day (I think 2006?) and it was an incredibly valuable experience, we did maybe 30-45 minutes of field work, then played nine holes together. I don't remember what I paid, I was 15 or 16 at the time, but I remember thinking it was a really good...

You're not missing too much skipping this course, that said, after 12 years of driving by without checking it out, I finally did last summer and did not regret it. The course clearly went through some sort of improvement/redesign since some of its early reviews and it actually turned out to be a...

I haven't had the benefit of playing many of the world's greatest. But I've played many of the West Coast greats. Here's my top 5 1) Riverbend DGC at Milo McIver State Park, Estacada OR (I believe this course in the BSF 36 hole layout is a straight 5.0/5.0, in it's 27 hole layout, I feel like...

3.50 star(s) Stunning Water Course - Hidden Oregon Gem While the water may be a challenging or even frustrating aspect for a lot of players, it's hard to list the presence of all the water as anything but a huge plus for this course. Trojan is one of the only courses in the NW that has this extensive of a...

3.00 star(s) Great general variety for a 12 hole course on a relatively simple piece of land, Ewing simply has a very intelligent layout. Variety of distance from ~175 to 400+ Variety in elevation, as well as left to tight shots. Variety in tight forested holes and wide open bombing holes. Course is kept up...

2.50 star(s) Solid little city course The first thing I'll note about Sam Benn disc golf course is that for a in-city 9-hole course, the park/course has some very nice, professional amenities. Lots of parking right off of the first tee (though the first tee itself is a little hard to find), nice picture tee...

2.50 star(s) Not your average church course!! The first big plus on this course is that it now has 10 beautiful concrete tee pads and Dynamic Veteran baskets. Combined with the baskets and tees, the property itself was very neat and clean. It seems like the designers of the course have done a lot of recent...

1.50 star(s) Cute campground course lacks holes, but not charm The best thing I can say about this course is that, for only having three holes, at least each of the three holes is actually pretty fun. While I'll agree with The Valkyrie Kid that having the first hole on what is essentially a beginner course...

1.50 star(s) BRING A SPOTTER FOR A BETTER TIME By a good margin, the best thing I would highlight about this course, and want to applaud the course designers for, is the nice tee pads, baskets and navigation signage. I would say that most Oregon forest courses, at this relative level of quality/age, don't...

These days, my three go-to discs would be Prodigy Air D3 (157g) Discraft Supercolor ESP Buzzz (178g) Discraft Soft X Challenger (175g)

1.50 star(s) Better than I feared! Worth stopping at on a trip to Rooster Rock at least once As a long time Portland disc golf local, Benson park was one of those courses I always knew about, but due to its reputation, I just never stopped and played it. Benson is conveniently on the way to Rooster Rock DGC...

0.50 star(s) I found 6 baskets! Also, not much of a course here So, in contrast to the appraisal of The Valkyrie kid, I would put the park itself down as one of the "course's" few pros, if you live in the area, it seems like a really lovely place for dog walking, or just walking through. The course's 6...

1.00 star(s) Nine gorgeous baskets, but no course (*I will address the nature of this "non-course" in the "other thoughts" section*) The one real positive aspect about this "course" is the fact that Athey Creek Middle School has 9 brand-new Innova Discatcher baskets. I noticed that the baskets had the logo...
