There are few things not to love about the way this disc golf course is laid out. There are some great opportunities to leg out long throws, as well as good opportunities to lay up for birds. The rugged mountain scenery is fantastic, and at the end of the round you are throwing parallel to the Rogue River. Seriously, not much to dislike about the scenery, and not much to dislike about the course. I really enjoyed the challenge and the opportunity to throw both forehand and backhand. There is a bit of hiking too, and some baskets that are up, as well as some elevated tee pads. The variety is fantastic. I did not see any maps at the first tee pad, but we had someone who had played before and they were able to guide us. A couple of the signs did not seem to be marked very accurately, so if you are playing by yourself or with others who have not played before, you may hunt a little for the next tee pad at some places. Overall though, it has a nice flow.

Many changes have been made since this course was last reviewed. New pads and baskets have been added. Softball field has been removed and turned into a practice facility / driving range. Rest room in parking lot. Trash cans on every tee, very clean park. County parks and local DG community have done a great job turning this into a must play course.

Love this course. Great mix of holes, distances and shots. Very challenging and worth playing. Multiple tees and pin placements are cool and great baskets and signs. Only issues I have is the mando on 16 is stupid to me. If the tunnel was bigger or playing from short pads it makes sense but not from the long. A couple holes I'm not a fan of and could maybe need spotters. Overall this is a very nice course and will test your game in a good way, it's worth the stop.

Solid course, I really liked how there were random buildings / walls in the way at times. This course provided some interesting shots. I like the terrain, but if you come here probably don't come with with less than 3 people. Losing discs can be a problem. There was 6 of us so we didn't have an issue. It was a great place to stop on our way to Monterey, and a good warmup for our tournament because there were plenty of different shots.

It's a pretty fun course, and it's the nearest course to me that has legitimate baskets (I live in Ashland). If you get off the fairway you're gonna get your legs torn apart by blackberry bushes sear ... show more ›

It's a pretty fun course, and it's the nearest course to me that has legitimate baskets (I live in Ashland). If you get off the fairway you're gonna get your legs torn apart by blackberry bushes searching for your disc.

Oh yeah, discs are really easy to lose on this course too. It's also a challenging course, I always feel good about getting sub-10 yet I can sub-10 many other courses easily.

Overall I'd say:

Pros:
- Nice, full 18 marked baskets.
- Pretty decent teepads.
- Some interesting challenges.

Cons:
- The rough on this course SUCKS
- Really easy to lose discs
- Terrible signs
- Something about the course just doesn't really excite me. None of the hole locations are really all that interesting.

Pros: A lot of different types of holes, long, short, open, wooded. Hole 15 was the mando through the dam I think, that was a fun one. Very friendly and helpful locals. I played a few holes with a guy ... show more ›

Pros: A lot of different types of holes, long, short, open, wooded. Hole 15 was the mando through the dam I think, that was a fun one. Very friendly and helpful locals. I played a few holes with a guy named Danny, he was a really cool older guy. The hard packed ground was giving me awesome skips.

Cons: Watch out for the rocks! Watch out for the river on a couple holes, with the length of them and a good gust or bad skip and it's "bye-bye" disc. My approach shot on 5 almost skipped into the river. The last 8 or 9 holes are home made and only have one set of chains.

Other Thoughts: The locals told me they were collecting money for the last of the home made baskets to be replaced. The place really was awesome. I wish me had more courses like it in SW Washington. Good job to the crew of no doubt, dedicated locals on keeping their park so nice and working on improving it!

Played in June of 08 ...... the locals were just doing a major cleanup of the fairways and long grass, a fun layout with handemade baskets then, a must stop if your traveling thru a great great break from the I-5 and only 5 min off freeway ..... if any of u locals read this we rent a machine called a billy goat that knocks down the long grass to 6" and can do a whole course in 4 or 5 hours it just pulls you along.
