... any suggestions on can't miss courses? Plus, reasons why? Driving up from Mississippi and flying back in a couple of week. Thanks in advance.

The only one I've played is Pier Park, and I can tell you it's worth the time. Very cool setting, good use of elevation, throwing among redwoods. Very fun course!

Very beautiful park I agree. Pretty sure it's just sequoia and Douglas firs that fill most of that park though.
Nailed it on courses and breweries for the most part. Make sure you hit Upright for beer. If you can find it...In Portland, well then there is only one course worth visiting in that City and its Pier Park! Why, first off its fair and challenging but not long per say. It has tight wooded lines, elevation drops, blind shots, plenty of shade, fair lines, easy to follow, good use of area and solid teepads. Its not a bomber course with open holes, its a course that can allow you to throw any shot in your bag. lefty or righty, friendly to both. Clean park.
Now if your willing to travel outside Portland but not to far I would recommend these courses:
to the West:
Buxton Woods : private property with cool pro shop and family running it and a sweet course. Great use of propert with ponds, streams, low ceiling tunnel shots, par3,4's, and elevation.
Hornings Hideout : destination property with three courses that will test you as the hardest you might ever play to and easy pitch n putt with a solid middle course. elevation, trees, fishing, pro shop, and music events with camping has this place as a must experience on weekends.
LL Stubs : state park with camping area, course is well designed and manicured. Longer technical course under tree canopy the entire time. well marked and easy to play.Tough course though
To the East:
Blue Lake : Long course, well marked fairways. Best viewed in the 2014 worlds final round
Dabney State Park: old school course feeling when discs couldn't go as far and more birdies were optainable. elevation, trees, water, good layout in a state park
To the South East:
Riverbend aka Milo: Long course at times with beautiful gree nfairways, pines, elevation, par 3-4's, blind shots, use of all shots. I found it to be long at times and constantly throwing big shots which Im not a fan of. I prefer shorter courses or technical. This course is long and technical
Timber: 15 minutes from Milo is shorter but good and fun with a good mix. Solid layout, easy to follow, good equipment, good place to warm up before you head to Milo.
all courses are within an hour of Portland in Oregon. Ive played all of these courses and I liked these three the best: Pier park, Buxton Woods, and Dabney.
If you drink Beer I recommend these three Breweries In Portland:
Great Notion
Breakside
Deschutes
