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 there. The baskets were old and grungy. It could be a really cool course. It just needs some attention and a few dollars thrown at it. It's my home town so count me in to help.

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 ... show more ›

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.

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. Concret ... show more ›

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 ... show more ›

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 the rainy season. Hole 6 can be almost completely underwater. But you can have the course to yourself! :)

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 ... show more ›

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.

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 ... show more ›

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 featur ... show more ›

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 summer, but even more packed than it was on a rainy April Saturday. If you're hung-over, or just loosening up for another course, I recommend Hoover, otherwise play Ewing Young.

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..
