Converted ball golf course makes for an interesting disc golf course

Reviewed: Played on:Mar 25, 2022 Played the course:once

Pros:

Looks like it used to be perhaps a par-3 9-hole ball golf course with a driving range, so there are fairways that are very wide on some holes. Although I'm not sure that the layout takes full advantage of that. It can get a little busy but not terribly. Probably earlier in the day is when you can have the whole course to yourself. Every hole has two pins and two pads (most of the time). I think the parkland holes and those fully open on one side are the best: nos. 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, 12, 13, 16, 17.

Cons:

There's some conflict with nos. 3 and 14, so make sure you have the map on hand (Udisc or course map printout). The track does not naturally flow so well. The no. 15 T is a bit unfair as it is quite blocked to get out and up. On the open fairways that are part of the ball golf course, it can get pretty windy. The tee area of no. 13 can get really wet and boggy (unplayable).

Other Thoughts:

When you come to the park, you are coming to an annex building versus the main portion of the park. The annex building looks like an assembly room type of place. Parking there is okay, but leaving and entering can be a little dicey with fast traffic coming up and down the street. If you park in the main portion of the park, I believe the closest hole is no. 11.

fun zapper of a course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Nov 16, 2021 Played the course:once

Pros:

clean, well kept up course.

lots ot trash cans, benches, places to chill.

trees everywhere, and open lines to baskets.

water can come into play.

decent baskets, older, but in good condition.

multiple tees and baskets on every hole.

Cons:

the signs at tee pads are pretty accurate, but absolutely HORRIBLE next hole signage... like, none. i searched for over 10 minutes for the next hole on 4 separate occasions. FIX THIS!!!

above says very cart friendly, but i found it not really that great for carts. doable, but probably more tiring than carrying due to hills, steps, roots etc...

buggiest course i have played in georgia. got a gnat in my eye twice.

Other Thoughts:

i recently moved to atlanta from the midwest and have found some cool courses around here that are all different and fun...this one? should have been.

when i arrived at oregon park, OMEN. there is no signage for where disc golf course is or d.g. parking.

when i finally found the first hole, i was stoked!!! hills, trees and everything i look for in a course. played the first 2 holes and got pissed right out of the chute. ZERO clue where 3rd tee was. finally found it and...well, a lot of fun was sucked out of the course after only 2 holes. i am probably weighing the lack of next hole signs too heavily but i literally spent an extra 40 minutes looking for the next hole 4 times. that absolutely sucked!!! it is way too easy of a fix, so get it done for higher ratings and enjoyability.

i do not have a big arm by any stretch, and i was able to score pretty well playing the course from gold to gold, but will figure out after a few more rounds which tee/basket combo suits my game best.

i will play it again, but i am not itching to get back there right away which is stupid, cuz this course could easily be enjoyable first time. it really wasnt.

Nothing Wrong 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 29, 2020 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

An easy-to-play, diverse suburban course.

-Amenities: All concrete tees. Practice basket. Shiny signs from DGCR's very own wellsbranch250. Benches all over the place. Good chains. Course map and beginner-oriented notes on the course. Also, a ~600 ft driving range.

-Multi-Tees/Baskets: There are always two tees and two baskets for every hole. Each tee has a post appropriately colored gold or silver, and the baskets' bands are either DISCatcher yellow or shiny silver. The possibilities for customizing or randomizing this course for variety are good.

-Terrain: Not spectacular, but plenty interesting for good golf. Wide open fields, loose woods, and tight woods. Good elevation as well, with many holes playing up or down a hill. A creek comes into play occasionally.

-Ease of Play: I didn't know what else to say here. Oregon Park is just easy to play. Disc finding isn't an issue, rough isn't too thick, navigation is mostly okay, terrain is all walkable. There is nothing keeping you from enjoying the sport. Speaking of sport…

-Shot Shaping/Gameplay: Oregon Park presents a consistently good, if unremarkable, array of shots. Some holes play very open up or down a hill (e.g. 1, 2, 16), some present very tight woods gaps to hit (e.g. 11, 15), some transition from open to a closer green (e.g. 4, 14), some have spacious fairways carved into the woods (e.g. 7-9). There's one true par 4 and some tweeners marked as 4's that are probably long par 3's (a semantic difference which I don't consider a con). I threw a very balanced mix of FH/BH with overstable, understable, and straight discs.

Cons:

Oregon Park may have nothing wrong, but it has nothing special, either.

-No Signature: There is no signature hole. There is no signature overlook. There aren't even a handful of really great 4's you can tie together and say, "Wow." Many interesting but not amazing shots--I would mark the par 4 of (3), the downhill bomb of (14), and the creekside play of (11) as very enjoyable but not spectacular.

-Navigation: You'll want a guide or map for transitions (2)-(3), (10)-(11), (14)-(15), and (17)-(18).

-Poison Ivy: Woods + North Georgia = Poison Ivy. I don't lower a course's rating for that.

Other Thoughts:

You can't complain about Oregon Park. However, you can't rave about it either. There is no doubt in my mind that it's a very good course, and no doubt that it doesn't have the pizzazz to qualify as excellent. For those familiar with Rosewood/Redan on the opposite side of town, Oregon Park is like that but with a little more length on average and the extra tees/baskets. A brilliant home course, decent stop, but not the gem of the city.

Challenging Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Dec 22, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Course is well maintained and has a nice mix of open and wooded holes.

Has multiple teepads if you want to switch up the difficulty level.

Cons:

Teepads are very hard to find. A couple friends and I got lost a few times and even with the UDisc app it was tricky to find the next holes.

Also if it rained recently there are some pretty swampy parts.

Other Thoughts:

Overall it's a fun course with multiple teepads (though they can be hard to find), a nice mix of open and wooded holes, and it's pretty well maintained.

Maxed Out 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 14, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

(3.815 Rating) A Constantly Improving Course with a small dose of everything.
- UPGRADES - Reading thru the reviews of this course is like reading a biography of someone's life from birth to adulthood. This course infrastructure is nowhere close to the same thing when reading reviews from 2011. New concrete pads for both layouts. The signage was addressed, although its outdated again. All of the baskets are upgraded for both layouts and some lounge area seating has been added. It also appears a few layout tweaks were addressed because the most recent reviews rarely bring it up.
- DUEL PINS AND TEES - One of my favorite things about Oregon Park is the two tees and two permanent baskets at every hole. Silver tees and baskets for mostly front locations and Gold tees and baskets for mostly back locations. This set-up allows players between Novice to perhaps Lower Advanced, to have a reasonable challenge. In addition, the tee basket combo allows players the opportunity to never throw the same layout twice, as a player could randomize the tee and basket choices at each hole.
- CHALLENGING - I played the Gold to Gold layout and found the challenge to be roughly Intermediate level. There are some nice shot shaping lines, but also some power required. Players in the 950 rating range should be able to consistently shoot in the mid to low 50's. A couple of the Gold to Gold par 4s should honestly be relisted as par 3s, especially holes (4) and (6), but this notion of a par 3 or 4 doesn't really affect anything other than mindset.
- CHARACTER - As mentioned under the upgrades pro, Oregon Park has seen a lot of improvements over the past few years. DISCatcher baskets for both layouts. There are a couple of huge chill areas at the tees with spacious benches and tables. There are a couple of shelters and also restrooms up by the first tee. There's a practice basket and course map at community board. The tees are concrete and large being 5 feet by 12 feet for the gold tees.
- UNIQUENESS - I was pleased. Down shots, up shots, left, right, open, heavily wooded, long and short. Hole (3) and (5) were both legit par 4s from the Gold to Gold configuration. There is some water to deal with in the form of a creek and it makes a big impact on hole (11). I liked the 'S' line on Gold to Gold (8) which requires a big right to left shot to then make a break back to the right at the end. I do wish there would have been a more epic downhill shot or just wow shot in general, but I guess the natural terrain just couldn't deliver at this location.
- NATURAL BEAUTY - Not to the same level of a few other courses I've played in the Atlanta area, but still better than a vast majority of the courses I've played to date. Oregon Park is moderately wooded and has moderately undulating terrain that keeps hole after hole looking very pleasant. Not really any bombshell looking holes, but just about them all look around average or better. I scored the course a 3.25 out of 5 for beauty.

Cons:

Only ticky tack issues at Oregon Park
- DISCONTINUITY - a few sizable gaps and odd transitions as a result of a history of modifications. (2) to (3), (10) to (11) and (17) to (18), all look tricky to navigate. Thankfully I had a guild. I played a few extra holes after my initial round and I found myself crossing (14s) fairway on the way to (18). The spacing on a few holes is questionable and I could see players straying into the wrong fairway from time to time. I highly suggest having a printed map in hand for this one.
- NAVIGATION/SIGNAGE - The tee signs are starting to show their age and should probably be replaced. The course also needs directional cues along some of the longer transitions.
- TIME PLAY - I played in a random doubles on my round out here and it took just under 2 and 1/2 hours to play the gold layout. Honestly, much less time than I was expecting, but still far from optimal from a course bagger point of view. Figure 2 hours for the Silver to Silver layout in a four some, but this could vary greatly depending on how busy the course is.

Other Thoughts:

I've played about a quarter of the Atlanta metro courses as of the review and Oregon Park is among my favorites. Of the higher courses I've scored thus far, I have Oregon Park only behind Perkerson, and slightly ahead of both ERP and Etowah. No doubt Etowah and ERP are more beautiful courses with more wow factor at the tee, it's just that Oregon Park delivers so many other elements, that my experience was a touch better here than those two courses. It reminds me a lot of George Ward in Birmingham, but a slightly better version, having the duel tees and legit par 4s. There's a reason why Oregon Park is busy, it's because its good, really good. It's one of more developed courses I've played and there's really nothing else to add. My rating for it is pretty much maxed out at the 3.8 level. My only significant complaint was the few layout flow grievances caused by a prior layout life. I'd happily play here everyday. Had I run into this course anywhere else in the country, I would have been ecstatic, but not quite blown away.
- THANK YOU - A big thanks to craigd for inviting me to come up to Atlanta and to play the course that he's club president of. It's always great to throw a round with someone who knows the history of a course, but yet whom also wants to inquiry about what an outsider thinks. That's the sign of a great club President, Thank you sir, I hope we can do it again. Personal note, Craig and I make horrible paring partners. We are essentially the same player, both excelling at short technical courses and scrambling well. Thus on this longer Gold to Gold layout our weakness on longer drives and longer putts, was exposed.

Seamlessly blends open and wooded 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jul 6, 2018 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Tee pads are in excellent shape, solid, concrete, mostly dirt free.
-Tee signs are great, at both silver and gold tees, they help with par, distance, hole #, and have a map of the hole.
-Gold baskets are highly visible, most silver ones are too (a couple are camouflaged in the trees).
-The majority of baskets are DISCatcher, a couple are DGA. The DISCatchers are excellent, but I'm not a fan of Mach II or III.
-Fairways are well groomed grass in the open, and packed down dirt in the woods, there are a couple roots in the fairway to give this course character, but not enough to make it annoying.
-In the open trees are used very well, and then in the woods, the trees are used excellently.
-The small amount of elevation on this course is used well, and makes some holes great.
-This is a popular course, deservedly so, but with that in mind, there is not a whole lot of garbage laying around, not no garbage, but very little.
-Benches on most, if not all, tees.
-Oregon park is super pretty, the course plays next to baseball fields, but you wouldn't even know it.

Cons:

-My biggest navigation snafoo was not really on the course itself, but the parking lot. I went in the main entrance to the park, assuming hole 1 would be near a parking lot. You need to really study the map before coming to this course, because there is an unmarked parking lot for the course that is super helpful to know about.
-I feel like this course could have used a couple more mandos, theree are some holes that would be more difficult (in a fun way) with mandos.
-This course is a little crammed. there is a lot of options for playing this course, 72 different holes, a couple fairways get close to eachother, or end right next to a tee pad, or have another hole's basket right next to it.

Other Thoughts:

-This course gets a 3/4 on the new shoe index
-I am a total fan of the long to long, short to short, short to long, long to short, type of course, and it is represented very well here.

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 10, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

Very well maintained
2 tees and 2 baskets on every hole
Multiple lines on majority of holes.

Cons:

Very crowded at times you wouldn't even expect.
Nothing that really blows you out of the water about this course.
Kind of repetitive.

Other Thoughts:

This is a course I grew up playing and was the closest course to me for the longest time. It is fun and every hole gives you a shot at birdie. The funnest layouts for me are gold to silver and silver to gold. To me it's fun but nothing special.

A great course! 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 4, 2017 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Oregon Park (OP) is my home course. I learned to play disc on the old 9 hole course in the mid 00's and played here throughout the course's transformation to it's current layout. In it's current layout, I've played the course hundreds of times over the years, in all layouts, but mostly gold-to-gold.

- Variety of course layouts, with two teepads and two baskets for each hole.
- All holes have concrete tee-pads
- Maps at each hole with the terrain, basket location, and distance
- Free to play!
- Well maintained and any 'disruptions' in the course are taken care of quickly.
- Free parking
- Practice putting basket with putting distance markers at the start of the course
- Driving range for practicing drives offers something unique most courses won't offer (although distance markers into the field would be cool!)
- A good mix of open and wooded shots over varying distances.
- [Mostly] good use of terrain.
- Benches and rest areas are located throughout the entirety of the course.
- Good, helpful group of local active players that help maintain the course and play it often. There are doubles/singles on Tuesdays and Thursdays throughout the summer, and various events and tournaments hosted throughout the year.
- Not too many places to 'easily' lose a disc.

Cons:

- Some areas of the course are not well marked and course navigation can be difficult for new players, particularly holes 2 to 3, 10 to 11, and 17 to 18. Take a picture of the course map before you start and don't be scared to ask someone for help/directions.
- Can get pretty crowded on weekends.
- A little bit of crossover on some holes on the course. Make sure to be heads up when throwing and always yell "fore" if unsure.
- Some holes could be improved, but I'll get to that below...
- Lack of 'close by' facilities. There is a port-o-potty by the course start and that's it. There are several bathrooms and water fountains in the baseball field area of OP, but not convenient to the disc golf course.

Other Thoughts:

There are four layouts: Silver-to-Silver is the easier layout and ideal for beginners to the game. Experienced players can play all 18 with mids and putters, with most baskets being 200-250'. New players will like the relatively straightforward shots, but there are enough tricky shots to keep it from being boring. The next layout, and in my opinion the 2nd easiest is Gold-to-Silver. Again, seasoned players can probably get by most of the course with mids and putters, but may pull out a fairway or distance on a couple holes. This would be the best compromise layout to play if veterans are playing with new players. Then there is Silver-to-Gold, which I think is slightly more difficult than the alternative mixed layout. The gold baskets are generally farther out and/or in more difficult areas to reach, thus playing to gold baskets will offer greater difficulty. Veterans will utilize some distance drivers on this layout. Lastly, Gold-to-Gold is by far the most difficult/challenging layout on the course - I find it to be the most 'fun' of the four layouts for this reason.

Quality Course with lots of options 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 18, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Free parking
-Multiple tee and Pin locations that don't move
-Well kept
-Good mix of technical and distance holes

Cons:

-Lots of traffic and worn grass = Georgia Red Mud after a rain
-Course layout crosses itself a few times

Other Thoughts:

I see why this is a tournament course, the 4 different options make for lots of ways the course could be played. As well I get frustrated with multiple pins locations that move and change distance and par for the hole. Hole 2 at Wills park for example frustrates me because its a par 3 in position A and a Par 4 in position B and it just seems to depend on chance as to where the basket is when you play. This course having permanent locations of pins and 4 options of skill is a real plus. The signage was 95% there and relatively easy to navigate if you remembered to look at the tee sign of where the next tee was. I plan to come back and play this one again.

Beautiful Course. Perfect for all Skill Levels. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 18, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

-Versatility. This course is unique in that it has 2 tee pads as well as 2 baskets, creating 4 options for playing the course. I (a beginner) played the shortest option, while my husband played the longest option. This kept the competition fun and fair.
-Great for all skill levels. Like I mentioned above, there are 4 playing options. Because of this, you can pick your own level. As a beginner, I really appreciate this feature.
-Natural beauty. This course was absolutely stunning-- beautiful fields, nice bits of woody/shaded areas, etc. On top of just enjoying the course, it was nice to walk as well.
-Hole variance. The style changed from hole to hole. Sometimes the challenge was a narrow window to drive out of, other times it was a wide open drive going uphill, and other times it was finding a basket hidden in a patch of trees. This course was not boring; it provided a variety of challenges.
-Well kept. The lawns were freshly mowed and the tee pads were clean (other than some mud from a brief rain just an hour earlier, which can't be helped).
-Free parking. Free course.

Cons:

-Signage. There were a few maps missing at tee pads. This wasn't a huge issue, as you could walk to the other tee pad of the same hole to see the map, but it was an inconvenience.
-Inefficiency. The course doubled over itself a couple of times. This isn't a big issue, but it can get confusing and cumbersome as you will see baskets that you're not looking for.

Other Thoughts:

-This course is fairly long. It took my husband and I between an hour and a half and two hours to play this course.
-About half of this course is in the sun, so be prepared with sunscreen and water.

Nice Surprise in the Burbs 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:May 10, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Different tee pads and baskets allow for 4 different holes, which is pretty cool for locals.
-Distance of holes varies a decent amount without having any holes that are ridiculously too long or too short
-There's a driving range for anybody who wants a little extra exercise

Cons:

-Navigation and next tee signs - 2 to 3, 10 to 11, 17 to 18 can all be a bit confusing to first timers - any signage at all would be very helpful
-Not a huge fan of the 18th hole - I think that after such a cool round they could've ended on a better note
-It can get a little crowded and I've had to skip around on a few occasions because larger groups never let me play through

Other Thoughts:

This course is one mile from my sister-in-law's place. I try to play it every time we visit. I have been impressed each time. The different lengths of tee pads also make it easier for me to talk my wife into joining me every once in a while.

Wish this were my home course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Feb 7, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

This is a pretty course in a multi-use park. The 18-hole layout provides a variety of shots that play both left and right off the tee. Rolling elevation changes are incorporated very well, yet without requiring a tiring climb up and down hills. With two pads and two baskets for every hole, there are four possible layouts to provide variety for repeat plays. There are also benches at every tee, as well as clear hole maps at the gold tees. There are some water hazards to deal with, but none of them appear to be disc eaters. Concrete tees and baskets are in good shape. Locals are friendly and helpful.

Cons:

This is the most confusing layout I've ever seen, with very few "Next Tee" signs. Playing it alone, I got lost at least three times, and that was after getting help from the locals twice. There is a mostly-accurate sign at the front with a general layout; be sure to take a picture with your phone if possible. This course appears to be really popular with the locals and may be very busy on the weekends or during warm weather. Watch out for some hidden briar patches around hole 14.

Other Thoughts:

It's best to park by the large metal building by the first tee instead of the main park entrance. The practice driving range is there as well.

A very nice course! (Hole to Hole Directions in Other Thoughts) 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jul 8, 2017 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

This is probably one of the best courses I've played so far. It has a good mix of open play to wooded play. There was a few elevation changes but not to the point that it tires you out after a round (ex. Downhill shot from gold tee 11 & 17 and uphill from 15 & approaching 18).

This course offers two tee boxes for each hole and two baskets for each. Ultimately, this makes the course perfect for replaying many times and not feeing redundant. You can play silver tees to silver baskets (shortest), silver to gold, gold to silver, or gold to gold (longest).

Pretty good signage with a few exceptions. This was the first time I played it and found every tee mostly with ease. There are signs marking every tee with accurate maps of basket positions for both baskets and tees. There are a few signs that point the direction of the next tee and the only real lack in directions is getting from 2 to 3 and 10 to 11.

Each tee is nicely paved concrete with no cracks or issues. There are benches at every tee. Plenty of Parking right by the first tee, last basket, and a practice basket.

Cons:

The course can be busy during peak times.

A couple of signs to the next tee could make this course even better, but like I said. I found every tee the first time around with just a little bit of searching. And the course will most likely have someone playing it when you go so you can likely just watch where the guys in front of you go or ask a local. I'll try to explain a few complicated parts below.

Other Thoughts:

General Directions and Parking
***If you come from Dallas Hwy onto Old Hamilton Rd., park just before the park on the left. If you see the big sign and entrance for Oregon Park, you've gone to far and the best place to park is back up the road about 1/10 mile. There is a bulletin board on the left by the first tee with a map of the course. Take a picture if possible as it can be helpful.***

HOLE TO HOLE DIRECTIONS FOR ANY COMPLICATED AREAS

2 to 3 - After you finish hole 2 keep walking towards the back of the building and towards the woods. You'll pass basket 18 on your left and follow the little wooden fence into the woods. Pass hole 14 and you'll see another tee box off to the left at the edge of the woods. This is tee 3. Also note that there is a sign for the path to tee 18 for later.

3 to 4 - If you play the silver on three, keep following the field up to the gold 3 and go through the woods to the left for tee 4.

4 to 5 - After 4 walk around the edge of the woods to the right behind the gold basket. The silver tee for 5 is next to the pavilion and table and the gold tee is to the left of here at the edge of the woods near the rough.

5 to 6 - For Tee 6, turn around from basket 5 and walk back out to the field and to your right. The tee is on the edge of the tree line.

6 to 7 - 7's silver tee is easily spotted, but gold is up around the rough from gold basket 6. Walk to the left around the rough.

7 to 8 - Same for 8, easy to find the silver tee. Gold tee is in the woods by the gold basket for 7.

10 to 11 - ***For hole 11, walk through the woods by the silver basket for hole 10. Walk past the tennis courts on your right (baseball field on the left), towards a set of stairs down.

11 to 12 - Tee 12 is nestled in the woods back from basket 11. To the right of basket 11, you can walk up the hill for the silver tees or back to edge of the woods for gold.

13 to 14 - 14's silver is in plain sight, but gold tee is back in the woods directly behind the silver tee a ways. It's by the tee for hole 3.

14 to 15 - For 15, walk over he little wood bridge and to the right. The silver tee is the first you'll come to. Look to your right and the gold is in the woods (there's another little bridge for when the creek is too muddy to jump over).

17 to 18 - 18 is a little complicated but if you paid attention earlier, it's a piece of cake. Finish up at gold 17, and walk into the woods on the left near the gold 14 tee and the tees for 3. There is a little sign for the 18 path or just walk down the tree line in the woods. The silver is the first you come to and the gold is the second ***Be careful when you tee off!! There is a gold basket easily in sight on the hill to the right. I made the mistake of playing it when this is actually the gold basket for 2! The gold for 18 is on the same ridge but on the far left side near the tree line.

For a single, the course takes about an hour and 15 to an hour and a half to play 18 on a moderately busy day.

Oregon Park 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Apr 10, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Has practice basket

Has concrete tee pads for both (gold) pro and (silver) rec tees

Has tee signs for both tees

Four different possible combinations to play each hole - excellent replay value

Has many benches throughout course

More open than wooded fairways will be appreciated by the beginner

Most holes have changes in elevations

Water really comes into play on hole #11 only but the creek is shallow and narrow enough where it shouldn't be a factor in losing a disc

Free parking

Porta Potty

Cons:

Course can get crowded at times as it's popular with the locals

The various combinations of playing each hole can lead to confusion/frustration if the course is crowded

Course design and flow could use improvement as there are long walks between 2&3, 10&11, 17&18

Hole #3 tees could use some protection from drives on Hole #14 gold tee

Grass on holes #5 and #6 doesn't get mowed regularly and can get tall enough for discs to be swallowed and lost

Other Thoughts:

This a nice course nestled across the street from a neighborhood where you will see a lot of players at peak time. Before going, I always check to make sure there's not a tournament planned or running. Much of the course have open fairways here so throwing bombs can be plentiful.

Oregon Park 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 25, 2016 Played the course:once

Pros:

Nice variety of holes, fun and varied terrain, and a beginner friendly pad and basket (silver) and more advanced pad and basket (gold). You don't get unduly punished if your throw is not perfect most of the time. There are some open holes for you to bomb it and some more technical holes where trees must be accounted for.

There are garbage cans and benches at most of the pads and the disc golf community appears to actually use the trash cans. The maintenance of the course is very good. It's mowed on the open holes and the tighter holes are well picked up. There are maps at every concrete pad.

The scenery is very nice. Rolling hills and lots of beautiful trees.

The golfers at the course are friendly and courteous.

Cons:

The navigation of the course is poor. A first timer who is not playing with someone who knows the course will get lost. The maps at the tee pads will have an arrow pointing from the basket indicating where the next pad is located but this is not helpful on several as the course is a bit jumbled up. You should take a picture of the course map at the kiosk near pad one before playing.

Other Thoughts:

Tee pad one is not to be found in the main entrance to Oregon Park. There is another parking lot down the road from the main entrance to the park, maybe a tenth of a mile away, where you want to park to start at pad one.

A very fun course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 13, 2015 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

- 2 pads and pins on every hole.
- Good variety of hole "styles' (open, moderately wooded, very wooded, etc).
- Great community, every time I'm out at OP some of the locals/regulars are out there and they have been nothing but nice and helpful to me.

Cons:

- Not a particularly challenging course, not that I tear it up every time I play, but for an experienced and high level player, you will be wanting more after OP
- The land may not be used in the best way. There are seemingly lots of more open areas where a whole could have been made more interesting or difficult but it was left as is. I've heard there's push-back from the county on the layout, so this may be responsible

Other Thoughts:

I really enjoy getting out and playing OP, I always have fun out there and the course is very pretty and almost always in great condition.

The community is great and very helpful and friendly to the beginners that a course like OP naturally attracts.

The layouts can be a touch confusing sometimes because one would think that Gold to Gold would be the toughest tee->basket per hole, and that's not the case (eg hole 17).

Beginner's review 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 23, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

2 teepads and 2 baskets on every hole give such great variety it is hard to beat!

Great beginner course when played silver-silver. I really felt challenged but rewarded for good throws.

Clean, well maintained park land with some nice natural features worked into the design.

Cons:

Some signage issues, got lost between holes a couple of times.

Long walk between some holes.

A couple of the open holes feel a bit generic.

Other Thoughts:

Really enjoyed the course overall. The multi tee multi basket setup is really appealing, lots of ways to play. I wish some of the signage was more apparent, but repeat plays will make navigating easier obviously. Overall my favorite "local" course I think.
