Pros:

Roy Morse DGC is your typical city park nine. A well done one though. The course features undulating terrain, lush green grass and enough trees to force you to shape shots on most of the holes. The park was very clean and well maintained. The course probably gets pretty windy most of the time due to it's location. It certainly was on the day we played it.

Concrete tees on every hole except one, which was on the gravel walking path. The tees themselves were decent sized for a course of this length and all were poured level and had good grip to them. One tee pad per hole.

The baskets are Mach V's. These are all in great shape and catch everything. They have the number plates on the top which all face the tee pad. One basket and pin position per hole.

The signage is serviceable. There's 4x4 posts with PVC bag hangers at each tee. On these there's red signs with the Hole #, par and distance. There's no map but every basket is visible from the tee so none are even needed. There's also a large course map sign by the parking lot you can snap a photo of if you wanted.

The design is pretty well done. It's a small park and they did a good job of placing nine holes out here with enough breathing room between holes. The navigation is really simple too. It's so open that it's easy to figure out where you need to go next.

Free to play and probably rarely ever busy.

Cons:

The walking path does come into play on most holes since it pretty much bisects the course right down the middle. You'll be able to see anyone coming well ahead of time though.

Judging from pictures it appears to pool up in certain areas after heavy rainfall. It was completely dry on our visit though.

No signature holes. The holes all kind of run together like most city park nines tend to do. Not the designers fault or anything. There's just not much to work with here.

Other Thoughts:

This was a fun little course. It'll only take thirty minutes to play for most players. It's much better than two of the other nearby courses at least. Rainier Riverfront and Tam O'Shanter. SOOO much better than those. Worth a quick spin if you're nearby but nothing to go out of your way for.

pleasant peaceful course 2+ years

Pros:

Well kept/groomed city park. Couple of challenging holes that you must turn right or left at the right place to get your reward. Signs are kind of okay.
This is a city park. I played it when school was still going which means in summer it may be different.

Cons:

Signs could be better. Need signs that point to the next pad.

Other Thoughts:

Second set of tee pads to make it a 18. I played here then drove east across I-5 to another 9 hole course. Well I got 18 that way.

Roller Course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 19, 2015 Played the course:once

Pros:

Navigation is simple, tee pads are short but easy to find and plenty of room to run up on. The baskets are beautiful Mach V's in excellent condition. Make sure when you drive in to park in the lot farthest away from the park entrance to find hole one.

This is a great course for introducing people to the sport as walking it is easy, playing it is easy but it does teach you a small amount of different skills needed to become a better player. My dad has been trying to introduce a BH roller into his game and most of the courses in his area (North Seattle) do not have a suitable area for this. Him and I were practicing these shots here and now my dad has a good understanding of how to throw them. Low ceiling shots combined with small ups and downs of the fairways and greens also shows you that throwing the disc where ever you want and as high as you want isn't always the best choice and that you need to develop other throws and shape different lines,

Cons:

We played during the week and not even peak hours of usage and there were people using parts of the course making us inform other users or just skipping the hole a prudent decision. The parking lot is also used for the baseball and soccer games nearby so if there is a game going on parking can get tight as it was when we were playing.

Other Thoughts:

This is a solid option in the area and I would recommend this place for quick rounds or driving practice. It won't challenge your long game and you can score under here easily but it does show you some different looks. Locals and course baggers unite, come on out and play this fun little nine hole course.
