Disc golf course or enchanted forest? drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 28, 2023 Played the course:once

Pros:

The scenery is simply breathtaking. We don't have wooded courses like THIS in Ohio. Sure, we have wooded courses but not this type of wooded course. It was just unrealistically beautiful. I also love shorter, technical holes like this course has many of. They are a great equalizer. People that can bomb drives have no advantage here. As someone that's a little older (50) and not in my best shape, I also enjoyed the workout. That, mixed with the fresh Oregon/Pacific air made me feel great!

Cons:

1. For those not willing to hike terrain and traverse steep hills, skip it. There is a LOT of up and down.

2. I would recommend not playing alone so you have at least one spotter. There are a LOT of opportunities to hit a tree and redirect into a heavily wooded area. I hate to even think about the amount of discs I could have lost by playing solo.

3. Navigation can be tough. The uDisc hole maps had us somewhere in Europe for some reason, lol. That, combined with a noticeable lack of signage can make navigating very tough. Luckily I was with a few people that had played the course before.

Other Thoughts:

This was the last course I played while visiting a friend that lives in Corvallis. Prior to this we played Adair Park, Willamette, and Milo (27 then 18). Surprisingly, this course is the one that ended up being my favorite memory of the trip. Sure, seeing the "Philotross" hole at Milo was cool, but walking down the fairways at Red River was something special. We don't have forests like this in Ohio, and I just couldn't stop smiling about how playing here felt. Most of the time the disc golf felt secondary to the views. If you're not from Oregon and want to get a taste of some beautiful, wooded disc golf this is a must.
