Bicentennial park is a fun little wooded and slightly hilly nine hole course. There doesn't appear to be any other activities happening in the park either. It's not so much a park but a little sliver of public woods, the perfect spot for a little course like this one.

There's little concrete tees on each hole. These are only about five feet long. Honestly these are all that's really needed for a course of this length though. One tee pad per hole.

Pretty easy navigation on this one. The course basically plays in a clockwise fashion. There's a long walk from hole 1 to 2 but there's really only one way to go anyway. 2 to 3 and 5 to 6 are the other longer transitions but, again, it's pretty easy to figure out.

The baskets are brand new looking Mach V's. These are all in great shape and catch nicely. They have the orange number plates on the top which makes them easy to spot in the woods. One basket and pin placement per hole.

Nice design for such a small piece of land. There's a good mix of shapes off the tee for a nine holer too. The distances are all on the short side but there's enough trees to add challenge.

There's no tee signs out here. Like I said above, the holes are mostly on the shorter side and can be seen from the tee, but not all of them. A few next tee arrows by the longer walks would be nice too.

The rough can get pretty thick off the fairway. You probably won't lose a disc but it is possible, especially in the ferns. There's a small ditch that runs along the left side that holds water and isn't obvious. My wife found it and soaked both of her feet.

The parking lot is tiny. I doubt it gets overly busy but if it is it's a decent walk to hole 1 if you park up on the road.

This was a fun little course. It's not really near much of anything but is worth a play if you happen to be nearby or passing through. It's only about two minutes off the 101 heading up or down the coast and would be a good place to get out and stretch your legs.

Short, pretty fast 9 hole course. Usually finish the round in 27 throws. Two rounds (18 holes) can be played in under an hour. Still being developed with lots of upside potential.

Treated by locals as an off leash dogs park. Mis-thrown discs can end up in bogs and can be a challenge to find and retrieve. No facilities. Limited parking.

Smoking and drinking are tolerated in the park. City is trying for a tournament during the 2019 calender year. Walk it once before you play.

The Bicentennial Park DGC in Reedsport is an interesting course. Newly completed in 2017, the course plays in a clockwise circle around a large boggy area. The course has smallish concrete pads and DGA Mach V baskets with the always hard to read numbers. There are no signs currently.

A group of locals has just finished a round when I showed up. They pointed me to the first tee which has you throwing 225' up a fairly steep hill with no basket in sight. The basket is set off to the right. The boggy area to the right is quite deep here covered with these huge plants. I have always called them skunk cabbage as they emit an unpleasant aroma.

Navigation is mostly easy and intuitive. Usually the next pad is visible as are the baskets. There is a long walkout between 1 and 2. The number 2 pad has the number spray painted on the concrete tee pad. The basket sits on what looks like Jurassic Park terrain. I have expected to see a Brontosaurs halfway submerged down in the bog munching on some skunk cabbage.

# 3 tees off from a cool elevated tee to a visible basket protected by lovely moss covered trees. # 4 is protected by about a dozen trees. # 5 is a short (115') anhyser throw across the bog. There will be a few Aces hit here. 6 plays about 250' straight up a trail. Then the final three 7-8-9 are all very similar with each following the old road. Each has the bog on your right and a small hillside on your left. They probably range from about 240' to maybe 300'.

Signs would be appreciated.

7-8-9 are very similar.

Stay out if the boggy area, especially on # 1. It looks the deepest here.

The # 6 tee pad also has an 8 painted on. This confused me and I had to ask their help. There answer was the # 8 was a mistake. Makes perfect sense to me.

Long walkout between 1 and 2.

I noticed some trash here and there. This is a nice new course. Pack it out boys.

"Here, birdie, birdie, birdie!" Leave your drivers at home and bring mids and a putter. This is a short course, and even I, at my current level of inexperience and inability, parred most and birdied one. This is an excellent course for amateurs, not long but requiring control, and a good course for intermediate players.

If there were signage, I would rate the course condition as "Good" rather than "Decent."
This could have been a very technical course, had more trees been left in but there are still plenty to get in your way.
The tee pads are much shorter than regulation but, again, this is a short course.
Like most forested courses it will save you a lot of time if you can find a local golfer to take you through the first time, to show you where the tees are.
I'll make this comment but it applies to so many of the Northwestern dg courses that it's hardly a con, more of a warning: thick brush and it's easy to lose a disc.

Bicentennial reminds me of Winsor Park in North Bend, not because of a similarity of layout, but because it's an interesting short course that can be played without taking a big chunk of your traveling day on 101. If I were local to the area, I'd go around twice any time I played.
The newspaper article reporting this park's opening http://theworldlink.com/reeds...d571868b.htmlclaims 18 baskets but I didn't see them, nor did my guide mention them.
