Ewok's Hideout! 
6/9/2008 
6/10/2008
Pros:
-Best home-made baskets I've ever seen!
-Maps available
-Great tee signs with hole distances and even elevation change!
-Wonderful use of elevation. Many shots play into and out of little ravines and such, but without too much concern for lost plastic. Some of the holes gained or lost up to '80!
-Multiple dogleg holes, something missing from most courses.
-Realistic fairways! (No 5' gaps required for to get to the basket)
-Overall course flow is wonderful. It's a full loop back to the first hole, no crossing fairways, very little risk of getting hit from errant drives.
-Seclusion! This course is out in the woods, and I doubt it will ever be too crowded, except maybe during festivals happening on the grounds.
-Great variety of shots required, pretty even between lefty vs. righty. I had to throw both backhand and sidearm almost evenly.
-Great variety in hole lengths. Most holes are around 250', with a few longer holes.
-Overall scenery was VERY beautiful. Reminded me of Ewoks!
-Camping available
-Water available
-Restrooms available
-I believe they have food/drinks available?

Cons:
-Gravel tee pads. For most of the holes, the gravel teepads weren't an issue due to the shortness of the shots, but I'm not a big fan of gravel teepads anyhow, and a few of them, hole 17 in particular, were not level.
-A lot of people will not like the baskets. They WILL NOT take in sloppy putts. Most putts that are not near the core center of the basket will not stay in. However, I found that if you threw a good putt, they stayed in fine, this will irritate many people.
-The trails between the holes will be quite muddy in winter!
-Overall, I'd like it if some of the holes were lengthened a bit, I talked to the owner and he said that this will probably happen in the next couple months.

Other Thoughts:
Playing this course was the most fun I've had at a new course in a LONG time. It is definitely a course that you will want to immediately head out for your second round after you finish hole 18. Lots of very fun technical shots, almost all which were very fair. There was a lot of work that went into the fairways, some trees taken down to make the holes more realistic, which makes the overall feel of the course that much more solid. It's not often that I play courses that are this wooded without feeling that half the holes are flukey. If you throw a good shot, it will reward you plain and simple.
The elevation changes and dense forest made this course feel pretty surreal. Like you're walking through the wilderness playing golf. And because the course is so fair, it will be enjoyed by players of all skill levels. My g/f is an 840 rated Adv AM and I'm a 970 rated pro. There were no shots that confounded her, and there weren't really any shots that bored me (except hole 1).
If the course had a bit more length and more solid teepads, I would have rated this course higher.
Go play it! It's a breath of fresh air for the west side of Portland.

Report this Review Wow! A Beautiful Private Course! 
Pros: Very beautiful course with plenty of room for more holes.
Great elevation changes.
Amazingly well kept by Bob Horning.
A nice variety of holes.
The home made baskets look great.
The gravel tee pads do their job.
Temporary signs have been made for each hole and there are many signs to guide around the course.

Cons: There isn't really anything bad about it other than some of the tee pads aren't level and the baskets will kick a few putts out. Also, several of the holes have a huge ravine behind them which is hard to find and get a disc from.
Other Thoughts: I had a great time playing there and will try and go there whenever I can. The word on the street is that 2 other 18 holes courses are eventually going in for a total of 54 holes! Also, multi day passes and stuff are in the making right now.
