Pros:
-Just around the corner from the well-established Winsor Park Disc Golf Course is Ferry Road Park. At first impression, it's nothing more than another city park: baseball field, play ground, walking paths, etc. But the location is incredible, on the northern tip of the North Bend peninsula. Hole #4, in particular, yields a fantastic view of Coos Bay and the McCullough Bridge.
-This course is longer and more open than the other two area courses, featuring three holes greater than 300 feet. The layout is balanced, requiring several shot shapes. Hole #4 (amazing view), #6 (a wide hyzer) and #7 (basket over a small stream) were notable.
-Baskets are the new Mach VII models -- the first time I've seen them, and I was impressed.
Cons:
-Safety concerns -- pedestrian paths are in play on several holes, and the parking lot is dangerously close to hole #9.
-Tees have been improved from what you can see in the photos. Strangely, two of the nine pads are still gravel/concrete yet to be poured as of July 2022.
-All of the baskets are set approximately 18 inches too high on a concrete/gravel mound.
Other Thoughts:
-This is a wonderful addition to the Coos Bay/North Bend disc golf scene. It's not a long course, but longer and more open than Mingus or Winsor Park. None of the three courses are destinations, but all excellent choices for a quick 30-45 minute stop if you're passing through on US-101.
