Short course through a city park. Layout is tough to navigate with no signage. A small creek runs through and around the course, I would not recommend playing when it's been wet out.

I think I'm the only one in my group that actually hates this course. First the positives...The layout is challenging with some blind holes and uphills, You can get through it pretty quick. the location is perfect, the trees are old and gorgeous, there is a creek and a cool bridge....the only bad is what we called the "pit of despair" in the middle of the course. It is basically a giant mud bog, and there are bottles and trash all over, from what I was told was "the bad element" that hangs out t ...

Short fun course for mid range and putting practice, but tends to get extremely wet and muddy during the winter months.

This is a fun little course in a small city park that is in a gully that is wooded so the course is up and down you do also have a small creek running through the middle of it.

Challenging 9 hole course with plenty of elevation changes along with dog legs. Forces you to make accurate throws.

Well thought out course with a ton of elevation and trees to keep it fun. I don't know if I would drive down to go to just this course but played with Shampooie makes a great day.

Fun small course...unplayable in the winter due to the creek making the whole park a mud puddle.

Well, first time actually playing there. There is a course map at the entrance, but besides that I was going by what the locals told me which teepad goes to which basket. Loved getting all the birds, but course holes are way to short. I'll play there again :)

Relatively easy course, no long holes, but clean and very well maintained.

9 holes. Cement tee pads. Small area of land for this course. Start by throwing down a hill. 2nd hole in throwing back in the hill. 3rd hole is throwing around a blind right corner down the hill. Play this course many many times. Creek floods the bottom area every year which makes it EXTREMELY muddy.

Fun little course. Great use of what they had. Awesome elevation changes. VERY muddy in the wet months. There was a lot of garbage and dog @#%& on the course. this course could be one of the better pitch and putt courses in the portland area if it was cleaned up a bit.

I loved it had some amount of dificulty with lots of ups downs and pin locations. It is spread out surprisingly good but, a relativly small course with short holes.

Nice short 9 hole course. It's got some good elevation changes. Takes some touch here. Can get a little busy at times. Theres a playground for the kids too. The city keeps mowed in the summer. Concrete tee pads, Just one sign for the whole course near the first tee pad. A great course to take the kids learning to play.

This is a fun course, I try to play it whenever I go through Newberg (and it's dry). It is small, and makes excellent use of its limited space. It is in a small canyon, and many of the holes run up or down the sides. A small creek runs through the valley, unfortunately is has a lot of silt and can easily swallow discs. Especially on hole 8, which is a down-hill shot across the creek to a sometimes blind pin - depending on the foliage. The biggest con is that the course is a swamp during ...

Great little course. The best 9 holes course in Oregon. More elevation change for it's size then any course. There is only two holes where your throwing on a flat fairway. Awesome course for side arm or leftys

It is what it is. They did a lot with a little. A great warm up or cool down to Ewing Young and a great course to take your friends/spouse to get them started in the game. Good elevation change, a couple of really techy holes but most are just too short. If they could keep it dryer in the winter I would go there every week just to keep my putting up but it's only got about 1 more good rain before it goes underwater for the year.

Fun little short course. Crazy mud and standing water. When it dries out it will be better. Really busy park can be distracting and some patrons wander through the course (heads up!). But nonetheless, a fun course.

Love my home course, 5 minutes of skating from my house to disc. Great use of space and good safari action, only downside is that its a swap during the rainy season.

A great little pitch and putt. Leave everything but your putter in the car. Great use of a very small space, and good use of elevation changes.

Save this one for the summer/early fall. It gets very muddy and swampy in the winter and doesn't dry out until late spring.

Play this course a couple of times and then head over to Ewing Young (less than a mile away) for some long open drives.

I only graded this course as low as I did because it's unplayable when muddy. I'd give it a D- in the winter and an A in the summer.

Good use of limited space, nice baskets, good up and down. Way too busy with non-golfers. Crossing fairways absolutely suck, the map doesn't really help because it doesn't show any topographic features, and there is no "flow" whatsoever. Muddy swampland with a putrid river snaking down the middle (we actually watched oil bubbling up from the bottom). Fishing was good, though, I found two discs! Couldn't find #6 tee pad, even the second time through. I can see this being a better course in the ...

would be alot better grade but it is literally a pond at the bottom of the course T's are under water or submerged in mud..great layout really fun elevation shots great course to get a ace. Been there in the summer and had a blast thats why I met it in the middle with a C. Not a good course 8 months out of the year but in the summer awesome course especially since Ewing Young DGC is only a mile away..

Had difficulty balancing on tee pads that were floating above grass. And some baskets had cartoon Jesus' heckling me while I was putting... Watch out for large mercury pool and diamond lesbian tree on #6!
