I LOVED every hole, which is rare, I usually have one or two holes that I feel were "fillers", but some of my favorites
#1- 325' Elevated tee, straight/slight left through BIG evergreens, about 20' drop tee to pin, which is located on the edge of a steep drop.
#7-425' Par 4, Dogleg right, on a nice fairway through THICK trees to a guarded pin.
#8-420', 120' drop, through high ceiling trees, on the edge of a clear cut (OB) giving you a great view of the canyon (REALLY AWESOME in the fall)
#10-550' Par 4, gradual, sweeping dogleg right on about a 10' wide fairway for first 1/2, straightens out for second 1/2 to a guarded pin.
#12, 405' with 45' drop. Elevated tee, fairway down a gully boardering a steep wooded hillside on your left and the terraced hill on your right. Pin on left side of the fairway, slight, slight uphill.
#14, 575' Par 4, 54' drop. First 1/2 (and most of the drop) through a low ceiling, second 1/2 boarders open field (depending on your drive....) to a pin on a narrow terrace.
#16, 930' Par 5. First 800' through an open, undulating field, to mando tree, dropping back on itself into the trees, near a creek (not sure why, but this green was just a magical place)
#18, 425', first 300' or so across an open field, to a pin located in the trees, about 15' uphill.
Honestly, I've played all the "big" courses in Oregon (Milo, Whistler's, Pier, Dexter, etc) and Meadow Ridge has replaced all of them as my favorite course I've ever played. If it had nicer (is that a word?) tee signs and stairs, this course would be an easy 5 disc rating.
I played Milo the day before I played this course, and my mood was almost diametrically opposed on each course. I went back to Milo to give it a second chance (I wasn't all that impressed the first time I played) Well, I spent twenty minutes looking for the first tee, then ten minutes looking for #2, that just put me in a crap mood for a while. Don't get me wrong, there are some fantastic holes at Milo, but, IMO, its too open to get all the rave reviews it gets.
Now at Hornings Hideout, I had a smile on my face nearly the entire day, and the most on this course. I'm really not sure why, maybe it was because it was a beautiful day (those become rare in the fall round these parts) but this was one of the only courses I've ever played that I enjoyed EVERY hole, and the experience FAR exceeded my expectations.
Give this course a couple years to come into its own, and I see it knocking off Milo and Whistler's for #1 in Oregon, and that's a BIG statement.
If you're in the Portland Area, I implore you to check this course out, and unless you're a retarded monkey, I guarantee you won't be disappointed.
Side note- The course is really nice and thin now (late november) and will be so until spring, so any of those nice winter days, go check it out, it will make it much easier once the green comes back.....
