How early can you start a round at Whistler’s Bend? I will not be camping there. The hours state 8am. Is there a gate? I will be passing through there this summer, but I would need to start my round earlier than 8am to be able to squeeze in a round to my schedule. Thanks in advance! Mar 5, 2023

The park gate never closes, so really anytime after daylight is fine. The campground host lives close to the first tee, so just be courteous as you pass by. She keep a lost and found at her RV outside on the table, so if you find one you can leave it with her. Its an amazing and magical place, I hope you enjoy your visit.

Also, you shouldn't go to Whistler's with the expectation of playing it as quickly as you might any other 27 hole course. In the last tourney I played there I was in the first foursome to tee off (@7:00 AM) and with no one in front of us, we finished up around noon.
Rusty Bouws Mar 7, 2023Ron - Thanks for the information. If I start early, how would I pay? Is it an honor system with a drop box?
Rusty Bouws Mar 7, 2023Bart - Thanks for the heads up - I definitely want to have time to enjoy the round!
Bart Snell Mar 11, 2023Yes, honor system w/drop box. Enjoy! It's been a couple years since I last played Whistler's but it's always an enjoyable/humbling experience. Among Oregon's finest "A" courses.

There is no fee any more, and the gate can never be locked, due to fire danger to campers in the park. The caretaker's trailer is right by the front entrance gate, but I have never even seen it closed. This is the best disc golf course in the world. You haev got to seek out and find the long tee on #15 - Side Of The Worlld. It's the hardest hole, and has the most incredible view, which is saying a lot, because there are a lot of hard holes with amazing views!
