Cons:
-very disc-catchy trees
-not a ton of variety on the AM course layout (didn't play pro layout)
-no elevation change or signature type holes other than a pretty sweet suspended basket on hole 7
-must be careful for other discs flying into your fairway.. many holes play side by side.
-often really windy

Other Thoughts:
Twisted Pines is a great upgrade from the little putter course we played here a few years ago. Sure kids under 8 years old might not like it as much, but for the 9 and over crowd, this is now a legit disc golf course featuring both a Pro and Am option.
The highlights for us were the suspended basket in the middle of the tree on hole 7 and the view of the bridge at hole 9's basket.
One other nice feature is that they use different color baskets for the different layouts, so I was never confused as to which target we were going after.
My main advice is to keep an eye on your disc as I'm pretty sure the pine trees have needles made of glue. We managed to get 5 or 6 discs caught in their branches. Luckily, they are short enough to retrieve discs, but man, those trees are vacuums!
Also, the fairways definitely overlap in places so keep an eye out for discs flying about.
Overall, our family had a grand ol' time and Twisted Pine and we look forward to our next trip to South Beach State Park!

Cons:
Mosquitos!!! Bug spray will not save you.
Twisted Pines (Pinus Contorta) will grab your discs, bring a telescoping pole or something you can throw...we couldn't find any rocks to knock out discs down from the trees.

***Research the layout on udisc/keosk before playing***
I liked this course a lot. The design uses the land in a very cool way. The pro 18 circuits the course twice, so you can stop by your car or campsite mid round for a snack or to re-up on suds.
The course is super windy (1/3 mi from the beach), but mosquitos have full shelter in the woods...so if you're not standing in the sun, you're getting destroyed by pests. The wind is a pro by my opinion, it's in your face for half the round and at your back for half. Play your greens smart!
Combined with Wilder and Waldport, the Central Oregon Coast is becoming a destination for disc golf. Kudos to the designer of Twisted Pines, you've created a good one!
