I'm pretty sure they do. I bet most never look back. None care about how many thumbs they get. And a few may do some reviews, but none of the penoobs will ever set foot on flyboy or selah, etc.

My opinion, of course. While there are a few wooded holes, the vast majority of the holes are wide open with OB galore. I don't like the need to read each tee sign to see what could possibly be OB on each hole, and I hate the OB ropes that are all over the course. Throw a pond in front of a basket, elevate the basket on a 10 foot pylon, put the basket on a giant mound of dirt in a field with OB really close, put a basket in the ground, hang a few baskets, artificial island greens, triple mando, a daggum horse corrall, etc. All that was missing was the windmill.
NEVER FEAR!!!! HONEST REVIEWS COMING TOMORROW!!!!!
I posted an honest review today. It was also my first. What can I say, this thread moved me. I also had a chance to play it back to back days and figured it would be fresh in my mind.
I found that for my game it required a very repetitive shot selection off the tee.
>>put the basket on a giant mound of dirt in a field with OB really close<<
I will agree that I dislike baskets put on top of sharply pointed mounds of dirt. The only smart way to play that is to lay up at its base. All risk, no reward.
I loved the stuff in the woods in the course where the giant freeway basket was...

You hit the nail on the head, Repetitive shots from the tee is the issue. I think I throw the same disc/shot combo 13 out of 18 holes. Park looks beautiful and the work that was done is awesome, just needs a good redesign, which won't happen with this crew. They want it to be easy and shaped for their specific shots. This is due to the amount of gambling.... Errrrrr leagues and cash tournaments that are played there.
I have never seen so many holes that are all exactly 261' in my life
Lots of doglegs to the right ... there was a really cool looking depression on one hole we were disappointed that a basket wasn't down in the bottom or across higher up.
Course is in great repair/condition. The teepads that slope uphill and aren't flat are very annoying
... and I'll save the rest for my review
Hey guys, I noticed that my review has two people that "didn't find it helpful" or whatever the wording is. I'm not complaining, but if either of them is reading this I would like some constructive criticism and feedback as to what wasn't helpful. I'd like to review more courses, and I want to figure out what works and what doesn't.
Your review is pretty good, I think in this case you probably got those votes from locals who are convinced the course is 5 disc worthy. You have many more positive votes than negative ones, I would just ignore them in this case.
Who cares about a couple of :thmbdown:? You're at 22 :thmbup: and counting. Just keep on writing great reviews for other courses and you'll be fine.

^^^Agreed, I thought it was a very helpful review (one of the few on there). The problem is the controversy, not your review.
Bill Cosby has been quoted as saying, "I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody."
...keep up the good work! :thmbup:

No doubt. I mean how can you please people who rate something as 5 when there are improvements still being planned and made?!?! 5 is the best of the best and yet this course is still being improved (allegedly), we'll have to change the rating system just for this little park that could.
although if you think about it, a course that is always improving is the perfect course.
maybe we just didnt understand the metaphysical way the pendleton guys think about their infinitely improving course

I finally got back to PK this Sunday,with a newborn at home I haven't gotten to play as much as I used to. I absolutely agree with your first and last statements, as well as the comments about hole #4.
However, I think most of the other layout changes are very minor;
Hole #3 The smart play for 2 is still the RHBH hyzer shot, anything else is spray and pray.
Hole #7 Alternate basket location haven't been used here in quite some time before the recent changes. I think it's unfair to lump this in.
Hole #13 A drive here still has to finish right for a chance to deuce. A big S shot puts you in the trees.
Hole #15 Just the opposite of 13, A drive here still has to finish left for a chance at two. A big S puts you in the trees.
Hole #16 that same long turnover shot still serves you well, just leaves you a little short of the new pin.
Hole #18 This was already the easiest hole on the course for many players, now it's just more friendly to flicks and lefties than RHBH.
I don't think the changes deserve the inflated reviews the recent ratings have included, but the course is in better condition than it has been in years. I rate the net effect of the changes as a positive.
This was and is the most beginner friendly course in the area. If you want more challenge, there are several nearby options.
Thanks. I'm a little bit intrigued now. I last played it many years ago, before the re-design, which means I've played that park, but not really that course. With a couple of more unbiased reviews from folks I trust, I think I want to check it out again.
