Pros:
Paradise Point is a very beginner friendly course that does a great job utilizing an open area to create a variety of holes and shots. While its a relatively short course, fun can be had here by both new players and veterans alike.
Concrete Pads, Signs, and Baskets are all in good shape.
Plenty of Shady Parking under the freeway.
Well marked Mandos that attempt to keep fairways separated and safe.
A great variety of looks from teepad and from fairway. Most players at this course are carrying just one or two discs, but I found myself able to utilize a lot of my bag here for Thumbers, BH and FH.
Nice beach for taking a dip in the river after your round, bring a swimsuit!
Favorite Hole: #8 - Longest hole on the course (~370') with trees on either side of the fairway leading to a protected basket in a tree grove.
Cons:
This course is in a State Park and therefore a fee area. Buy an annual Discover Pass ahead of time.
Traffic Noise for the first 3 holes - The first two holes play under the freeway and then the third teepad is elevated to almost the same level as the freeway, so these holes are where I notice the noise the most.
A little too tight in places - The course was being used heavily this weekend and multiple times we had to jump out of the way of oncoming discs or alter how we played a hole because another group was in our fairway. I appreciate the Mando's between some of the holes, but remember that a lot of players here are new and keep an eye out!
I enjoyed Hole #1 personally, its a shot between freeway columns, but its an intimidating shot to start a new player out with and it doesn't fit well with the rest of the course.
It's very easy to throw to the wrong basket off of the elevated #3 teepad. The basket visible to you up there is #9, not #3. We played to the #9 basket the first time and carded easy birdies, but then could not figure out where the 4th teepad was. Otherwise the course is easy to follow.
The baskets are almost all a different height from the ground. I appreciate that they were trying to add some variety to a small course, but it was annoying that the baskets would vary in height by about 1' in either direction and it helped me to miss a lot of birdie opportunities.
Least Favorite Hole: #9 - Boring open hole. Moves slightly Left to
Right, so may be a challenge for RHBH, but I had birdies both throwing FH and throwing an understable mid BH.
Other Thoughts:
This is a great course to hit on your way to Portland or if you find yourself in the area. It's not a destination course like many of its neighbors to the South, but it definitely holds its own as a family friendly 9-hole that you can play in 45-60 minutes. The river is very inviting and you can easily add a swim into your visit. I will be stopping here in the future!
