Pros: This is a nice new course in the Tri-Cities, Wa area and a nice compliment to the other 2. This course plays along a hill behind Fred Meyer in Richland. There is a wide variety of holes with good use of the elevation available.
My favorite feature is the sage brush. While usually not much of an obstacle, the sage brush here is up to 6 feet tall and 8 across. There are a couple holes that require fairly accurate drives to a clearing or you're trying to throw out of tall brush. There are also a couple bands of trees that have holes play through or around along with some fairly straightforward up or down hill holes.
Signs are well done and placed.

Cons: This is a new course and apparently they have plans for rubber pads(city won't allow hard tees) but are not in yet. Tees are dished out soft sand that are very tough to throw from. Safer to throw beside them for now.
No garbage cans, bathrooms, benches, or other amenities of a more mature course yet but I expect to see these improvements as time goes on.

Other Thoughts: This is a very promising start to a course and I look forward to playing it more. When we were there the sage and wildflowers were blooming and it was the nicest smelling course I have played yet.
Will be hot in the summer with little shade so make sure to have water.

Report this Review hills & sagebrush
Pros: -heavy chained baskets w/#s on top
-tee signs w/tips
-good course design/flow. back & front 9 end in ~the same spot.
-mixture of holes with different shots needed. throwing the tunnel on 2 & 15 takes accuracy & you can throw full throttle on 7 (though I have put it over the fence on the far left once).
-elevation. fun to throw down from 9 & 13 and challenging to throw up on 10 & 14.
-mixture of short & long holes, though most are on the shorter side with the longest being 419ft.
-limited other park users & generally not crowded.

Cons: -dirt tee pads
-no restrooms, garbage bins
-no maintenance (grass is going to get real long)
-no benches (especially after hiking uphill)
-limited shade (bring your water & sunscreen in the summer)
-no alt tees/baskets (yet)
-no onsite course map (use the one here)

Other Thoughts: I am really glad this course got installed in the city I live in, now I can ride my bike to play :). The course map found here shows 6 going out along the road, but it was changed & is now a real short uphiller (too bad, throwing along the road was a good pucker factor). The two short holes (<200ft-6&17) play uphill, but are still fairly easy (always nice to have birds on the scorecard). In the summer there is going to be a lot more foliage to contend with, so I have a feeling there is going to be a lot of looking for discs when everything is @ full growth. The course is a hike, so handicaped & baby strollers will have a tough time. Overall fun course that I get my best scores on compared to the other 2 courses in the tricities.
I will raise my rating to 4+ if they put in tee pads, restrooms, garbage bins, alt pins, & parking lot they have planned.

Other Thoughts: Once trash bins and pads are in, I would move the rating up to a 4.5. I loved playing this course, and it has the rugged outdoor/hike feel I like in a course. The rec arms can compete with the big arms on a lot of holes, which I think is great for the sport to grow.
SWEEEETTTTT!!!!!
Pros: Maybe a 4.5, This is tons of fun from start to finish. Short, gnarly, HEAVY brush. Got a few technical shots, lots of obstacles. The thing I like most about the obstacles is they aren't usually huge, but they make you shoot higher than you are generally used to. Slight and subtle alterations of your game. Hill-side shots, some open field shots, several down-hill hill into brush (6-15 foot sagebrush, tumbleweeds, etc..) A couple of of tunnel shots, although those aren't so bad. Tee two - just call it "The Trap." Getting out from the tee is the main concern. Love 17 - if you miss and bank left, kiss your par goodbye. Course plays fast. I even liked the sandpits for tees. Fun hikes, beautiful views.
Cons: Not many long holes. Tees are a little short. Lost a disc on 16. This course isn't in my home-town.
Other Thoughts: Trash barrels. Get 'em. Please.
