Pros: This course has limitless potential. Beautiful long drives, some tricky little quirks, a very scenic trail between tees. The course also features a nice look at the surroundings of old Northern State Mental Hospital, a somewhat grim slice of local history.
Cons: Without upkeep (mowing on fairways in summer) this course is all but unplayable without a squadron of disc spotters. The neck-high grass and impenetrable brambles swallow up disks making disc hunting the object, rather than the course goals. Even very straight, well placed shots often eat up long minutes of searching. Sometimes $18 disk get eaten up,,, ouch. Skagit Parks and Rec.(the official custodians) say they will mow at some point but... uh... the summers half gone, folks!
Other Thoughts: If you'd like to contact Skagit Parks and Rec. to let them know that some course maintenance is in order (immediately,)
You can tell them so personally by emailing:

Pros: lots of open space with various pockets of trees. Good elevation changes. The views of the mountains and the wildlife makes for a great experience. There are a good handful of technical shots and if your a big arm thrower you'll love it.
Cons: There are a few danger areas with thick thorn rambles. Tee pads are only gravel and there are no signs. Still some work left to be done.
Other Thoughts: Please take course with a grain of salt. It is a very youg course which was publicly open on September of 07. Yes there needs to be some work as far as signs and beches but it will come over time. It can get quite overgrown at times so feel free to contact me for current conditions.

Rustic in a good way 
Pros: The custom targets are a playful touch, and the designers were smart enough to limit them to only 6; the other 12 are standard baskets. The trees, the blackberry thickets, and the various slopes give plenty of incentive to throw carefully, but there are few places where you're likely to permanently lose your pet driver. The park is large enough that you can't throw out of bounds unless you really work at it. Open fields around the parking lot give you virtually limitless space to learn the characteristics of a new driver, or just to warm up.
Wildlife adds a nice touch - in the winter the course is thick with fresh elk tracks, bald eagles and trumpeter swans cruise overhead, and big hawks skim the fields surrounding the parking lot. Owl pellets full of little white bones litter the ground under the cedar tree at hole 12.

Cons: Your first drive parallels the only path from the parking lot into the main area of the park. On a nice afternoon, you'll wait for families strolling into and out of the park, oblivious to your impatience to get started. (After Hole 1, there's much better separation between discgolfers and other park users.) The gravel tee pads have a temporary look. I hope tee signs are being planned. It's wet in the winter; I play in lightweight hiking boots. A line at the bottom of the map says something about 6 miles. The course is long, but not that long! You'll walk close to 2 miles; the actual fairways may total 6,000 feet.
Other Thoughts: The course is new this winter (2007-2008), and so am I; walking it inspired me to buy my first discs. It still has rough edges, but is eminently playable, especially if you print the map found under the Links/Files tab.

Pros: The course is challenging and well designed. The baskets are great and the 6 art targets are both original and creative. This course is full of possibilities due to the endless acres surrounding the course. When playing, one must be able to do a little of everything from big throws to precision shooting. Some of the holes are not very forgiving so sink that putt. The backdrop of the skagit valley and cascades is breathtaking which allows for a truely unique experience. Pin placement on several holes are guarded and present challenging putts. Course flow makes sense, as it brings you back to the start. The holes are spread througout several acres and makes great use of the elevation.
Cons: The one thing that could quickly improve the course is installing cement tee pads, or atleast flattening the gravel pads for a smoother release. Tee pad # 5 has players releasing uphill which makes it difficult at times. Lack of maintenance can be an issue at times as well, especially during the summer months.
Other Thoughts: The designer of the course is usually seen out on the course and is always willing to show you around or even play a round, which says a lot about him. He is truely genuine and is always open to new ideas to better serve the discgolf community. He also carries discs for sale so be on the lookout! Also, there are tournaments on the third (random doubles $6/person) and fourth (singles $8/adv $12/pro) weekend of each month during the winter. The first and second weekend same format but held at Mossy Roc in Bellinham, WA.
