I liked it! Not to bad for a 9 hole course, some tree shots that remind me of Pier. The tee's are good, no sign's though or hole #'s. Ohh, Watch out for the Cops!

Pros: Vance park is a very fun course to play, it offers many challenging shots that are friendly to lefties and right handers that throw both back hand and fore arm, allowing a wide arrangement of throwing techniques. The baskets are in great shape and easily viewable from the tee boxes. The tee boxes are concrete, nice, level and point in the correct direction (w/ the exception of #9's tee box being a tad tricky). I like the fact that the majority of the course is under shelter of huge t ...

Vance Park can be a very technical course and is a fun challenge. There are several trees on the fairways with tight routes on several holes with a few open shots. There is a drop off beyond the fence bordering the park with a fierce wind at times. The coffee shop next to the park is a favorite meeting spot for fellow disc golfers.

One of my favorite "short courses". Great mid-range and putter course. Foot traffic and "locals" can be obstacles but all and all, a fun course.

Great way to turn Rockwood into an 18 hole course. Vance is about the same length as Rockwood but offers a slightly more technical course but with even higher wind potential.

Real fun course and a lot of ace's to be had. It reminds me of a smaller Pier Park. The only problem that I can see with this course is that there are no tee signs but the tee pads are close enough together, its hard to get lost. I would play there a lot more if I did'nt live so far away.

very fun course to play a quick round, easy for the new player to reach the baskets and work on your short game

I love this course and it never bores me. Although I will say that since the public works has whacked away all of the tree cover on the fence lines, the elements can make for a tough day. If the wind is whipping out of the Gorge, you're hosed.

Cool little course with small elevation changes and good tree locations. Plays kind of like a mini Pier park. Nothing dramatic, just 9 good holes on the smaller side of things.

Small park so leave your Katana and Nuke at home, car, ect.... Wonderful place to teach your kids or a newbie or just meet rad discers from AB*DG. Tech course lots of small obsicales that wont become overwellming for the new guy, very easy layout to follow. And my favorite alternative to Rockwood Central where your children could be subject to gang cross fire and the park drunk bums that like pooping in the fairways.

Beware the quarry but otherwise fun! Could use a couple of changes to make this a really nice course. Without the playground there could be at least 3 more holes (or take out the "skating rink").

I like it that it's close to my house and accessible. Not usually full of people, and dogs are allowed off-leash. Great place to practice throwing.

Good course to pick up some ace's on. This place could use some more signage for sure. Gotta watch out for some of the locals too, some are kinda sketchy. Parking is also limited.

Course plays a little small....every hole feels like an ace try. posted 2 aces in the first 2 games ever on this course.....perhaps a little too easy.

Very short course that can be played in about 40 minutes. Not much for etiquette in this area and some parts of the park are quite sketchy. The park is frequented by the police for this reason.

I like the course for the fact i can work on my mid range as well as putting! I like it a little better than rockwood but i still find both courses to be more on the easy side.

As a disc golf course this is pretty good. I'm only giving it a bad score because it is really disappointing to see how trashed the park is, and you can tell it is mostly from disc golfers. There are cigarette butts everywhere, and beer and hard liquor bottles and cans. If anyone reads this, please don't trash the parks you play in! The parks department does us a favor by letting us have courses, and I'm sure if it gets to bad they can take it away. I guess this should be expected from a mostly ...

Pretty short holes. Wish they were longer. I like that if you only have less than an hour to play, it can be accomplished in 35-45 minutes easy. Make sure to lift your feet when you are walking. The tree roots will grab your foot every time. Last, watch those squirrels, they will snag your disc and run off.

Fun 9 hole course just down the street from the Rockwood 9 hole course. Parking at the church or on the street. Usually pretty busy but mostly small groups of 5 or less.

Back 9 to Rockwood. First 5 holes are very windy due to Mt Hood & the Vance Pit Quarry. 6 & 9 can be influenced by wind if the disc gets high while low shots can go under the wind.

Winter series has a 7b behind 8 into the foliage & 10-12 in the field with baskets nested or hanging in the trees.
