Played this course for the first time yesterday in the Masters Tournament. Very fun but very challenging course. As others have mentioned, a few select tree removals to open up a few of the fairways would make it a bit less frustrating for us mere mortals. I would also like to see the concrete pads for the short tees exended about 3 feet to allow a proper walk up. I found myself crowded on those smaller tees which definitely affected my throwing. But this is a beautiful course and I will be ... more

A reminder that Wingfoot glow league starts on Monday Night. We will begin throwing at about 8:30!! 5 dollars gets you in, 1$ ACE fund, and we will have other prizes if we get a good turnout.

Holes 8 & 17 are now in their alternate/long positions along with 1,5,11,12 & 16.
8 plays about 30' longer and straighter with the basket closer to the road so watch your skips!
You can now see 17's pin from the long tee, it's still a turnover for us righties but not as blind and we can use the left gap.
Have fun!

This Saturday 4/6, will do some clearing for the long basket location on hole #6, starting around 8:30 AM and ending at 11:00 to play a round. If you haven't seen the clean-up on #15 or played the alternate baskets, the weather is looking good for Saturday.

COURSE UPDATE; Holes 1,5,11,12 and 16 are in their long positions.
The moat on 15 is being cleaned and roped off (big thanks to Evan Adams).
The drop zone is marked near the small walking bridge-NO PENALTY
more changes coming soon, enjoy!

Hi Ben, I don't know if this is to late and you've made your plans already. But if your going to play Portage Lakes this Saturday it would be cool if I could shoot around with you. Your the only 1000 course played member that I haven't played a round with and to shoot a round with you @ Portage Lake ... more

I found it. It was in the basket on hole # 10. I put your disc in the lost & found disc hole on thats on the kiosk. I'm sure if you contacted Steve Godar or Matt Dungan, that they could get it for you.

No problem Brett, i know i appreciate it when someone returns one of my lost discs.
Matt Dungan December 29 at 7:31am
hole 16 is now in it's long position to the right down on the flat near the lake. It's a longer shot over the water for righties to park it but still a deuce hole. Should be a bit easier for the lefties now too
Matt Dungan December 24 at 9:57am
tees are clean

Lost my pink older champ Sidewinder on hole 5. Hit a tree about halfway down the fairway, it bounced somewhere. It has no ink, a blue stamp and is 172g.

planning on playing here tomorrow unless it's going to rain all day
Carl Peterson November 12 at 12:07pm
Thanks Matt. Can't wait to play it. Maybe Saturday.
Matt Dungan November 12 at 6:00am
hole 5 is now in it's alternate position straight ahead out on the point, please be courteous to the fishermen who sometimes share this fine spot. More alternates coming soon, enjoy!

If anyone is interested, Empire Darts (who sponsered hole 4) is starting to get a pretty large new and used disc selection. The store is about a mile and a half past the entrance of Portage Lakes. He buys, sells, trades. I told him I would help get his name out there (no perks for me, promise!) and he said if you mention you saw this on the Scene he will knock off a buck a disc. It would be nice for a local store to carry a large selection of discs.
Dominic G November 11 at 8:59pm
Can't wait to try out some new pin positions! I heard there might be some longer tees as well. I'm seeing some pretty awesome possibilities for a long tee to long pin on 5.
Matt Dungan November 9 at 6:07pm
I will be at the course around 8-830 in the morning putting the sleeve in for 5's long placement out on the point if anyone wants to get their hands dirty out here, may work on another placement too but want to be playing by noon.

Good getting a round in with you matt at your home course sir looking good.
Matt Dungan October 26 at 5:54am
sorry guys, still trying to work on the couse designer about cutting those couple of trees down on the inside line over the hill on 17. About 8-10 big trees (maybe more) have fallen around the course this year and I guess the feeling is if we cut a couple down and more fall then it becomes to open. Just trying to be selective I guess. The left fairway is opening up even though I know everyone likes to cut the corner over the hill. We'll see, but for now enjoy the rest of the couse

Matt has done a great job on the course(huge understatement)I would hate to see what condition the course would be in without him. He had the perfect trees marked for removal creating an inside and outside route off the tee on 17,this adjustment would reward a well placed throw,allowing you to follow a lane towards the basket or at least the putting area.As it stands you can hit your intended gap but with no reward for doing so,there's no line to follow,it takes more luck than skill to get to the basket.
Thanks Matt. You guys are doing some amazing work out there.
