Course got some love tonight! Was able to get out there and mow 6, 8, 10, 15, & 16. I'll get 4, 5, & 7 Friday night. That should get the course in fine shape for this weekend!

Please note the change. Things happen. But we want to thank Will Schusterick for working with us! https://m.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=556430967794780&id=384260568345155

Went out and got better sturdier temp. tee signs in place. We will continue with updates as we have things to share. Please remember: Pack it in, Pack it out! A couple of garbage cans are coming soon.
We will be holding a work party soon. Things we will be focusing on: 1- cleaning up excess concrete around tee pads 2- weed eating around tee pads 3- general trimming & course clean up 4- garbage pick up

Update:
Had a few things that have slowed me down this week, sorry.
But I'll be out Friday afternoon to replace missing tee signs with more temporary signs. (We are finalizing the permenant tee signs now)
Next week we should have the permenant walk out signs in place.
A couple of garbage cans will be installed on the course, also hopefully by the end of next week.
The kiosk has beer delayed. So we are thinking of putting up a temporary kiosk.
And finally the netting to protect the Host Site should be up in the next several weeks too.

I wonder if the scores section can be changed to be able to score front nine and back nine.

I just got back from playing the first 9 hole due to the park closing at 9 pm.The first rant I have is with the dumb fucker who are tearing up the temp tee signs and directional arrows signs, and the trash the lazy fucking people leaving beer bottles and trash along the course, People you carried the shit to and through the course at least you could put it in the trash cans, yes those cans with lids on them I know I seen some there.

I'm sick of going to disc golf course and explaining to my grandkids that disc golfers are really nice people but lazy fuckers when it comes put picking up after them selfs. every where we go it the same thing trash everywhere, and throwing in the bushes isn't going to go unseen it just show you really don't care. Enough ranting, I like the course it has a good flow from longs to shorts with enough technical trees left, and the right tand left drives from the tee pads, I only managed a +8 but if we were keeping score the mosquitos won by far. I can't wait to play the other 9 holes and see what else the course has in store. Great job to all that had a hand in building this course you all get a pat on the back from me.

Wheatland DGC is open again as of 3pm today... A lot of work has gone into clearing rough. Some of the walkout signs have been eaten by critters so I will try to get those temp signs back up asap...

"WE BROKE THE TRACTOR - WEEDWACKER WORK PARTY"... This week while mowing fairways at Wheatland DGC the power takeoff on the state parks tractor got sick. So we will have a weedwhacking party Saturday morning from 8am till 10am to clean up a couple areas of rough and some fairways. We will have a some weedwhackers, and goat mowers onsite. If you have equipment bring it! See you Saturday morning!

Can this course be navigated with a stroller? I take my boy to Keizer Rapids, so if it's comparable to that I figure I should be okay.

Jason "Rooster" Bruster    July 9, 2014 at 5:31pm

I spent the afternoon out one the course spraying PO and pouring white concrete on the front of the tee pads for foot fault lines and follow through areas on concrete. We just can't catch a break with the weather, too wet, now too hot! The park rangers are holding us off from mowing the rough due to fire danger... Hopefully we can get some mowing done on Hole 2, 4, and 5 early morning and late evenings...

PS... The mosquitoes that were so thick a couple weeks ago at the opening are gone... At least during the day there was none. The heat must be killing them or that main hatch died off.

Mike Wilson    July 9, 2014 at 9:01am

The course will be open for this weekend. If sooner we will post.

Why did cap city move dubs? Is the course not going to be open this Sunday? If not we need to know soon as 3 other leagues are scheduled there this Sunday.

We are currently pulling baskets at this time in preparation for Civil War reenactment which begin this weekend.
We will post announcement as soon as course is reopened!

Jason "Rooster" Bruster    June 25, 2014 at 8:06am

Baskets are going to be pulled at Wheatland DGC June 26th Thursday afternoon. They will be replaced on or before July 12th for an annual Civil War Reenactment.

Our goal in this down time will be getting a tighter cut on the grass since this first cut was from 4ft tall grass. Cleaning up rough on Holes 2, 4, 5, and 6. We hope to have OB lines marked out on the RIGHT side of holes 4 & 5 and LEFT side of hole 7's fairway. We are limited on the clearing of those rough areas, so consider ... more

We are limited on the clearing of those rough areas, so consider lost discs in those areas gone as if it were water. Also, we will be setting posts for tee signs and a kiosk. Actual signs may not be installed until late July?.... Spot spraying of poison oak was started on Monday with a hot mix and will continue throughout the summer (it is much easier to eradicate PO after it has been mowed with the brush hog, it also reduces the amount of herbicide used in natural areas.).

Thank you for your support on this project, we hope to have this new course in tip top shape this summer...

The feedback from the State Park staff has been positive... With the exception of some discs being thown into the camp host site (100+ft off the fairway)... Lets use a lil common sense and be good roll models of our sport.

I went out yesterday with the goat and and a backpack sprayer. Hole 4 and 5 were spot sprayed with a hot batch of herbicide for poison oak. The Goat cleared out a large area on hole 4s left side around the big fir tree and such. We are lucky yo have the full backing from Oregon State Parks... It will help tune this course up in a matter of months!

Silas Prince    June 23, 2014 at 9:48pm

Hey all! I want to play the course on Monday, June 30th. Anyone want to carpool and play a round or two? I'm open most of the day.

Mike Wilson    June 22, 2014 at 10:01am

Our next goals include spraying of poison oak, back filling around tee pads, getting tee signs in, & adding garbage cans (possibly a bench or two too).

Mike Wilson    June 22, 2014 at 9:45am

All of us want to "thank" all of you that came out to play this new course on opening day! Hope everyone had a great time and liked what they saw. We will continue to improve the course & maintain it too!
