Overall, I think Trojan is one of the true NW greats, and in many ways is an underrated course, even among locals. It's certainly not for everyone, I would strongly suggest that newer players avoid this course. It's easy to lose 2-3 discs in a round, and it's possible to lose even more (however, skilled players who play safe can avoid losing plastic). The lake is artificial with fairly sharp drop offs, aside from a few places, if you're even 3 feet from the edge, your disc is gone.
*IMPORTANT NOTES FOR YOUR FIRST TIME AT TROJAN*
-When you enter the park, there isn't any signage to show you where to start. Right after you enter, park on the side of the road (by the portable restroom and basket 1), the first tee is about a 300 foot walk past the first basket on a small raised concrete platform with some old wooden benches. You play from the corner of that concrete platform. After that, the course is fairly easy to follow from the course map.
-Hole 10 tees from the top of the road, you will see a natural clearing if you follow the course map, there is usually a painted tee indicating where to throw from.
-Hole 13 tees off from the painted line in the middle of the large concrete platform, follow the course map as it appears after a long walkout that follows the concrete path around the picnic areas.
-Lastly, PRINT or have on your phone the course map. The one here on the site is accurate and useful.
-If you can find a guide out on the course, it would be a good idea to follow a local. If you have questions about the course or would like to find a local to play with, feel free to email me at
