Please assist me in trying to keep this course in top shape to show what can be accomplished. Means alot to most players shape courses are in, especially those new to our sport or not so hard core to trek lost through rough course conditions.

Thanks all,
Steve

Spent good day on course to celebrate mowing of fairways. Played a round and then spent few hours working on course. Work accomplished includes raking and cleaning around baskets, fairways, and safe landing zones as much as allowed by parks at this time. Will probably try and return tomorrow to clean up tee pads. With this the course is now getting back in good shape and with alls help hope to keep it at least at this level, still room to improve yet. Let me know if you want to help o ... more

With this the course is now getting back in good shape and with alls help hope to keep it at least at this level, still room to improve yet.

Let me know if you want to help out and let you know what I'd like to see next, mostly getting bark dust piles used up where needed, let me know.

Good news is the fairways are now mowed down and brings much enjoyment back to game. Also have gotten damaged/missing t-sign taken care of with assist from Beast. Let's all put on a good showing and respect our courses and educate those that need it or are new to the sport.

me n austin hit manzee all the time. forget ratings, the shots that are used at manzee are amazing. If your serious about golf you want practice like this.

While at course today doing upkeep and such made a list of vandlised items we need to get replaced. I spent some of time cleaning basket top rings of graffiti, possible gang tags, and peoples aces written on them. I hope people will get the hint. As far as tee signs go we now have 3 missing top cover plate and tee sign. Also have two more with top cover plates cracked and broke but still there at this time.

As far as tee signs go we now have 3 missing top cover plate and tee sign. Also have two more with top cover plates cracked and broke but still there at this time. Also have had #8 and #17 numbers removed from side of tee posts that will need replacing. I can do the reprint of the sign and get them laminated again as needed. One reason this design has advantage as not to much cost to replace as unfortunetly I figured this may happen some. I feel the club should get another batch of top plates made with extras so we can replace has needed in a timely manner. The upkeep of our courses should be top priority because without them we will not be able to continue the growth of our sport in this area.

i agree with tyler, woodmasee is not a special course it rarely gets mowed tons of vadalism stolen baskets the bathrooms are usually dirty parking can be horrible if they have little league games the neighbors complain about the throwers constently and the walkers are everywhere

You know beast. I understand that your the greenskeeper for woods and that this course has a special place in your heart. But you talk about it as if it is gods gift to earth. I personally feel that most every one of those courses that you listed are better than woodmansee and have more to offer. The rating system works fine. And if it diddnt then I'm sure the people that run this website would fix it.

The "BEAST" Of The Woods    June 17, 2012 at 2:12am

I just would like to say that I don't agree with the current rating on WOODMANSEE course at #34. Ewing Young, Champoeg, Lunchtime, and Winnerberg all rate better than WOODMANSEE! Some of those courses don't have many reviews and most of woodmansee's reviews are old, but there is no standard to compare courses by, thus an in accurate rating. Please come play WOODMANSEE and review it if you haven't or update your old review to share this course as the beauty it is.

THANKS, BEAST (CCDG GreensKeeper)

Woodmansee made a meal of my bag yesterday. Lost my yellow latitude flow w/flaming dice dye, and my bliz ape with my first ever throw of it on 8. just got it out of the mail yesterday morning. It has a 2012 Capital City Classic stamp on it, but didn't get my name on it yet. I will happily reward their finders! Thanks to all of you that took the time to help me look too, which was everyone who passed me!

G.L.W. Is moving to friday nights and will be a handicap league before as well. More details to come.

Steve Moore    May 8, 2012 at 7:59pm

My best wishes out to the Chain Gang and seing a weekly event for folks at Woodmansee. I was on course yesterday for cleaning and throwing so should be in good shape for all. Can't get there tonight but might be looking at future weeks as plans allow.

Take care, enjoy the course and help the old man out keeping it clean for all, Thanks

CCDG event schedule change may be coming to WOODMANSEE. At the CCDG meeting on Wed. the 9th at Top Dog I will be asking the board to consider changing G.L.W. To Friday nights when the moon is Not visible and on those nights I would like to run a Handicap league before G.L.W. Not sure yet what to call the handicap league but I will try to use the automatic handicap system in DGscene.com for ease of operation.

*** Update Good news *** It's official, after some dealing with the powers to be and a parks meeting last night, the bridge at Woodmansee hole 6/15 is open to traffic for now as of this morning.

My next mission is to try and get a mowing schedule worked out with them, not going to be easy one at this time but it is in the works already, keep the faith and have some patience, we have powers to deal with, but it is able to be done.

Keep the discs flying but don't forget to help out to keep our courses clean and playable.

Thanks Steve and the CCDG crew for the Great Upkeep work you do at Woods, and the other Salem Courses. Wish I was still in the area to help out....

**** News Flash *****

I just received word this morning from parks operation supervisor that the bridege at Woodmansee will be reopened until new replacement put in. I feel I have reached some success at this point and will now see how soon it is unlocked. I hope that this will be the beginning of a new and good communication with the parks department.

The tree is scheduled for removal as soon as ground dries up enough to employ use of their bucket truck to safely fall it.

I am supposed to be notified and kept in loop as to the status of these items. I feel I may be slowly getting an in again for working with the parks department to some extent. That's all the news I have for now, let's hope for the best.

Went by park, haven't been by there for week and half. Anyway looks like city has part of fairway 2 taped off due to old tree falling but caught by another tree, danger zone. Be curious to see how long before they get around to doing something with it. Does anybody know which day it came down and got taped? Thanks and looks like last wind has created a mess again, but not as bad as it would of been with out what I've got done previously. Also the barkdust I got done in front of tee pad 8 ... more

Thanks and looks like last wind has created a mess again, but not as bad as it would of been with out what I've got done previously. Also the barkdust I got done in front of tee pad 8 and down the hill part way has helped a lot there, still getting little slushy but not as bad as it would have been by now.

My point is there is still alot of barkdust available to use, has been for long time, and it sure would be helpful to finish getting it spread in areas that can use it. Maintenance of courses is very important, especially when we have materials available to us like this. I've been trying to set example with what I've been doing but can not, and will not much longer continue my efforts with out some help please.

Thank you,

Steve

Someone is cutting trees down at Woodmansee and its NOT CCDG I assure you. Please, if you see someone cutting down anything other then blackberry, ivy, poison oak, CALL THE POLICE!!!! This is vandalism and against the law. As a GreensKeeper for CCDG I have had contact with the Salem city parks dpt. and I am clear on what we CAN and CAN"T do in the park.

The "BEAST" Of The Woods    January 21, 2012 at 9:46pm

To Bad Ace players,
Please review this course if you haven't yet. Keep in mind you can only register one review for a course at a time on disc golf scene so please be honest and score it an A or better:) Need to bring up this rating:)))

The "BEAST" Of The Woods    January 19, 2012 at 9:50pm

Woodmansee flooding but by all recent reports it WLL be playable for Bad Ace. I will be there tomorrow to do some clean up and I will report again when I get home. I hope the Bad Ace weather tradition holds true this weekend.
