Pros: Scenic Beauty - There is a lot to look at that makes this place pleasing to play. There is the wonderful mountains with their beautiful waterfalls flowing down right in view of the course as well as the Columbia River if you look North. There is also a little lake I guess you could call it that has a boat ramp and leads into the river.
The Course - The course has a lot of different holes lengths and different kind of challenges. Some of the holes get technical with tree obstacles, hole two comes to mind where it looks like there is no line to the basket and when you get there you realize it's bigger than you thought, a great vision obstacle. Some holes like four, five and six have the basket placed near the little lake with the boat launch near the basket so an errant throw can make you go swimming.

Cons: The main con that I found was finding hole number one and then after that navigation got a lot better though I would say bringing a map helped me out quite a bit and I recommend that you do the same. It plays right next to the freeway and there is a great deal of noise coming from that which can be distracting especially with all of the visual beauty. Those are the only the only cons that come to mind, this is a solid all around disc golf course.
Other Thoughts: This is my favorite by far of the two courses on site. The west course is everything I like about disc golf and the east course I wouldn't even play again. This area is prime for a disc golfing course bagger trip like the one I made just make sure you check out Dabney State Park right up the road.

A fun, quick, easy round... 
Pros: *Relatively open, but enough trees to keep it interesting...
*Good flow
*Some good views of the Columbia river and gorge...
*For a pretty flat course, there are a couple holes that encorporate what little elevation there is quite nicely.
*Two holes where water can come into play with an errant shot.
*Nothing TOO long, but long enough to break out the drivers for some ridiculous ace runs...
*Ace Runs galore....
*Of the couple times I've played, I've never seen more than one other group on the course...
*A great chance to work on your game because its open enough to try new shots, but enough of a challenge to punish errant shots...

Cons: *No signs, and as another reviewer stated, you can see multiple baskets from a couple of the tees, so it can be a bit confusing...
*# 9 is very near an off-leash area, so beware of dog piles...
*There are no WOW holes, but at the same time, there are no horrible holes (see: Rooster Rock East #3)
*Its right next to I-84, so you can see and hear traffic, and you don't get the secluded feeling that you get on the East course.

Other Thoughts: I normally do not like more open courses, but this one is different for some reason. I'm not sure if its because of its close vacinity to Rooster Rock East (which can be amazingly frustrating..) or if its just because its a pretty cool course....
When you get into the park, go left after the pay station. The first hole is right off the road, near the off-leash area (I think there's a couple signs near the road)... From there the flow is pretty intuitive, it goes west (along the road) for three holes, then works its way back east for the remainder of the course...
This course, is by no means a destination course, but if you're driving along I-84, and you want a quick, fun 9, give it a shot...

Pros: The course is reasonable for beginners to play since it is fairly open, but the distance provides a bit of challenge for better players. There is never a long walk from one basket to the next tee. The scenery is very nice. Concrete tees. Convenient to the highway.
Cons: There are usually more than one basket visible from each tee, so it was sometimes confusing where I was supposed to be throwing. No signage or tee numbers. The holes don't have a ton of character, so there are no signature holes that would really draw you to this course.
Other Thoughts: Honestly, the course makes good use of the space that is there and provides a nice complement to Rooster Rock West. There's nothing wrong with small courses in parks like this; we could use more of them. If you're driving through and need a quick round, this is a good spot. It's just not one you need to go out of your way to play.

cock-a-doodle two 
Pros: *BEAUTIFUL SCENIC COURSE
*WELL MAINTAINED COURSE
*COURSE FLOWS WELL
*BASKETS ARE IN GREAT SHAPE
*NICE CONCRETE TEE BOXES
*BENCHES ARE PROVIDED AT EVERY HOLE
*COURSE MAP PROVIDED

Cons: I cant really think of many cons but i would say that finding the #1 tee box was a tad tricky and the holes had no signs/guides other than the one small course map i found at hole #1's tee box.
Other Thoughts: i really liked playing this course. it flowed very well the whole time while being surrounded by wonderful scenery. it reminded much of a small CHAMPOEG w/ the huge oak trees and basket locations coming into play.
Their is a much more challenging EAST course, picnic areas, plenty of restrooms, dog areas, spacious parking, fishing and many more activities provided allowing the whole family or friends to keep busy while at rooster rock state park.
Dabny is down I-84 a few exits from rooster rock allowing a 3 course playable day w/ one $3.00 parking permit purchase that you can use at both parks if you don't have the annual pass.

Other Thoughts:
The best thing about Rooster West is that it combines with its sister course on the east end of the park to make a pretty good 18. On its own, the west course is a little bit on the boring side. Most holes are more or less wide open, with the glaring exception of #2, which has almost no route at all. But it's nice to have a couple holes (#5 and #6) with real water hazards, as they're somewhat rare around here. Be prepared to deal with either headwinds or tailwinds on most holes.
The waterfall across from the #6 teepad is one of the best disc golf vistas in Oregon, especially on a summer evening.
By the way, the photos that are on here (as of 3/3/09) are a few years old. The course has concrete teepads and less tall grass now.

Typical State Park Course! 
Pros: This course plays from the middle of the park to the far west end. It's flat and the water comes into play on # 5 & 6. It's a pretty state park on the mighty Columbia River with some awesome views. There's a map at the first hole. It's easy to follow with 5 holes down and four coming back. Just a nice relaxing throw, not a particularily easy course though. There are benches to sit on. Nice concrete teepads.
Cons: # 6 basket sits down maybe 25' from the end of a spit/slough ( I don't know what the hell the proper term is for this chunk of water here ?) It was muddy on July 6, what would it be like in winter? I'd move the basket to a spot a little less flood prone.
Other Thoughts: Play here for your casual, relaxing round, then drive to the other end for your challenging, disc hunting experience. The two combined compliment each other rather nicely.

Waterfall Pros: Nice distance practice course.
Cons: Most pins are hidden by one small tree making it a simple course for the most part.
Other Thoughts: The view of the gorge up above is awesome all the time, including the waterfall.

Cons: -Hole six floods occasionally when we get heavy rains.
Other Thoughts: If this was an 18 hole course, it'd be one of my favourite courses in Oregon. It's just beautiful, it feels more like La Mirada at times than anything in the NW.
The views are insane. Looking south from the course gives you a vew of a 400ish foot seasonal waterfall. Looking north, you have the columbia river, which is over a mile wide, and then on the other side there are more waterfalls cascading down the Washington cliffs. Add to that the fact that the area has a lot of Bald Eagles that come and roost on the course from time to time, it's just beautiful.
The course itself it awesome as well. You start off at hole one, which is something like 415' or so. Then the next hole you come to has skinny little routes through a thick group of trees. All the holes are good, all of them. It's a must play if you live in the PDX area and haven't gotten out there. Then, when you're done having a relaxing beautiful round of golf on the west course, go play the east course for a serious NC style butt-kicking!
