Pros: - Course is set in a good sized park, with plenty of land devoted to the disc golf. There is a walking path, and the entrance road, but other than that there shouldn't be any interference.
- While there are only a couple different patches of forest that come into play, there are a lot of trees here used to shape lines. The woods are mostly in play on #5, which is a hyzer into a clearing, #6, which is a little RHFH flick through the trees, and to the right of #11 as rough.
- Rest of the course has a wide variety of trees, with some very concentrated sections. #10 and #15 have a ton of trees on the right side of the hole, for instance, that make a RHBH anny the best shot. #2, #7, and #12 are better suited to a RHBH hyzer shot, to get around some trees. A pretty good mix overall, from pretty open to fairly tight.
- Some baskets are protected by some trees as well; #3's basket is within a ring of mature trees, #2 is directly behind a clump of trees, and #11 has a lot of trees right before the pin.
- Very good mix of hole lengths, there are five holes at or under 200', and four holes over 300', including two over 400'. Places to bomb some drives as well as lay some touch on approach discs.
- Rubber pads are decent, baskets are good. Navigation can be tricky the first time through, but a short study of the map should be plenty to get around.

Cons: - Course is pretty much as flat as can be. I didn't really notice any elevation changes on any holes, maybe a sliiiiight up or downhill slope.
- The road and paths are in play in many spots, which is good to add some challenge (OB), but isn't the best in terms of the overall experience. Lots of cars driving by on a busy day.
- A few holes are kind of close to each other, like #3 through #5, and over by #13. Not too bad, but the course gets a lot of play. Heads up!

Other Thoughts: - A pretty fun course to let some discs rip! The lines are there, and are fair, it comes down to having the right mix of accuracy and power to reach all the pins. There should be multiple holes for even the biggest arms to throw the high speed stuff, but some shorter holes to keep it fun for the noodle arms.
- Definitely best for beginner/intermediate players; expert players will be able to easily cruise through.

Other Thoughts: I have only played this course twice. Both times were during the peak summer times and needless to say the tree were nice to have. Of course we don't think that right after we slam a drive into one. Being that it is within 5 miles of Newberg, you could play three completely different courses in one day if you wanted.

Cons: No signage to mark tees
Rubber mats instead of concrete tee pads
Only 15 holes, wanted a full 18.

Other Thoughts: My son and I played this course and had a lot of fun. It's not real challenging, though some of the trees make for a bit of a challenge. The lack of signage really does hurt the overall value of the course, as does the fact that it's only 15 holes. Given that you have to pay $5 to park because it is at a State Park, I wanted a little more bang for my buck.

Pros: Good family fun. Mostly open, lightly wooded. State Park so kept up well. Easy to get around.
Cons: Can get wet and muddy so be prepared if you go after a rain. Not super difficult, only 1 mando.
Other Thoughts: Will need a parking pass to get in.

A squishy one.
Pros: This is set in a park with lots of stuff to do. Such as camping, fishing, hiking, biking, and just general family fun.
The course is well maintained in the summer. The grass is mowed regularly and dries out for a better place to play. It has plenty of parking and is easy to find.
The tees are rubber mats that are staked down with metal stakes and are therefore secure. The area in front of the tee is generally okay but can be muddy on wet days or in the case of 13 a real big water hole.
The baskets are old Innova single chain models but are in decent shape and catch well. The area around the baskets is usually better than the tees.
Undergrowth and such is minimal except on 5 and 6.
The map that is provided at the course is much better than the one here and I will up date as soon as I can. It is easy to read and follow.

Cons: The place is playable when wet but bring shoes you can get wet and muddy. There is a lot of standing water after rain and in the winter.
Holes 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are closed in the winter. The water is standing every where and in the areas around these tees and baskets it is so bad that they have to protect the soil from being tracked on or it will damage it badly.
There are no tee markers and no distances listed any where I couuld find.

Other Thoughts: This is not a place I would go out of my way to play but when in the area I will.
There is room beyond 12 where the course could be expanded and I hope they do. Because there is some promise here for a better course but it would take a lot of work.
The course order while the baskets for 1, 2, 5, 6 , 7, and 8 are out is 4, 3, then 9 - 15.
I gave the course a 3 because it is much better when dry and the missing baskets are put back for the summer configuration.

Family Park
Pros: Good course for the beginning player or for a small family. There is a semi-decent range of distances to throw and an occasional bend in the fairway. Most of the course consists of straight 200ft shots with the random bunch of trees to throw at as well. Each tee has a pad to shoot from, though each of which could benefit from a new rubber mat. For the locals this course would make a solid lunch time excursion.
Cons: There isn't a whole lot of range in the types of throws one gets to make. It all depends on what you are looking for in a course. If you are making the trip from Portland, I might caution against it.
Other Thoughts: This course is barely playable in the winter time without waders or rain boots. The course is setup on the flood plain and the soils are apt not to drain that well. The first five pins criss-cross a sloppy meadow and the remaining ten fairways have similar issues with mud - though not quite as bad as the first couple.

Champoeg Park St. Paul Oregon 
Pros: While not what I would call a destination course it is well worth playing. It is 15 minutes off of I-5. It is set in a beautiful well kept park with plenty of tall oaks and mostly grass fairways.It is all flat and easy to walk, not that that matters to most disc golfers but I know that is desirable or necessary for some folks. Most holes are easy 3s with several birdie opportunities and a few ace run holes as well. Hole 11 is always a tough 3 for me with it's length and tree negotiation. Hole 13 is not sidearm friendly with a mando on the left and ob on the right. There are 2 other courses 10 minutes away in Newberg a 9 holer and a 12 holer so 36 holes total are available without a prodigious drive. The rubber tee pads work well and the baskets are fine but probably a step down from the best available. There is on site camping with water and restrooms available. It is quiet, and pretty and a good place to relax even if your not golfing. There are good walking and cycling paths on site as well as a nice visitor center to keep the non disc golfers occupied while you get in a round or 2 or 3 or more.
Cons: It is a little disappointing that there aren't 3 more holes to make it a solid 18. I know that efforts have been made and been shut down. There are seasonal hours posted and the rangers will come and escort you out of the park within about 2 minutes of the posted time and they lock the gate behind you. this can be frustrating when you've got enough daylight to play 9 more holes.
Other Thoughts: Most Oregon state parks should follow Champoegs lead and install a disc golf course

awesome course Pros: fun longer shots and alot of holes that require different throws.
Cons: LOTS of oak trees. I have bent a few discs hitting them.
Other Thoughts: This is one of my favorite courses and i think everyone who plays disc golf in NW oregon should try to make it here atleast once.

Good Foundation Builder
Pros: Champoeg DGC is located in a giant State Park close enough for a quick stop off of highway I-5. While not championship caliber, the course is a solid mix of holes in a flat, grassy, moderately treed meadow of the park. Holes range from wide open to tightly wooded and have a nice variety of distances from short putter shots to extremely long par 3's.
Highly skilled gold level players are going to rack up birdies on these relatively simple shots while Ams and the lower ranks of pros will be able to strengthen foundation-level shots. Most holes are out-of-range for beginners but the lack of underbrush and ability to save par from pretty much anywhere will make for a good challenge without frustration.
Variety - A well-rounded player will be throwing both forehand and backhand shots along with perhaps a roller or two off of the tee. Hole distances have great variety from putters to long-range drivers and there aren't really any holes which pop out as "clunkers" - every hole has a purpose and routes which will be successful a high percentage of the time.
Navigation - Navigation is fairly straightforward as the disc golf part of the park is small and open and tees are marked with hole numbers. Only 1 basket is not visible off of the tee (hole 6) and the rest are fairly obvious so first-timers should not have much problem getting around.

Cons: The course design here works very nicely but there is currently neither the space nor terrain required to make for a championship level course. If a larger area were available for disc golf, including heavy woods, elevation, and some punishing underbrush, a redesign might make sense. Until then, this course is great for what it is - a place to practice disc golf basics.
Other Thoughts: I'd mention that this course was very swampy when we played for the first time earlier this year, so it may be best to play during periods of dry and sunny weather. On our most recent visit in September 2010, the place was bone dry, which made for very skippy discs but much more comfortable feet.
Park Fees: I've made the edit, but the park recently started charging $5 per car for entry rather than $3 which was posted in the current edition of the PDGA directory.
