Challenging and Rewarding
Pros: This course offers some very fun and challenging tosses, good use of elevation change, especially around pins. Espect to have some wicked downhill rolls. Some nice tightly wooded holes. Good variety of grass, packed dirt, and rocky ground. Good use of trees and bushes to create throwing lanes and obstacles. I love the bridge, or dam hole, whatever you wanna call it.
The staff was super nice here, made me feel welcomed. Well taken care of property!

Cons: Gate closes at 8, so you will have to cut a round short to go repark your car outside the gate.
Rocks can eat up a disc on this course, as well as some thick foliage along the edges that looks full of blackberry thorns and probably poison oak/ivy.

Other Thoughts: This is a really well maintained course, The homemade baskets on this course are made really well, but they can be a bit hard to spot at times.

Pros: Solid tee's pads.New baskets just put in. there are two baskets now per hole. Great variety of throws. Dogs allowed on leash. River close by. One hole close to the river for fun.Short and long tee pads. Clean park. I will play this course again. Maps on bullitin board at tee 1. If you dont want to pay the $2 parking fee, park before entrance by creek on left and walk in. I paid it, support the parks!
Cons: First 7 holes follow the circle around the parking lot, not too attractive. However, those holes are tight and fun. The last 11 are more quiet and set away from road noise/loud car speakers.
Other Thoughts: I always stop here and play when driving I-5.

make this a stop on any road trip!
Pros: A lot of different types of holes, long, short, open, wooded. Hole 15 was the mando through the dam I think, that was a fun one. Very friendly and helpful locals. I played a few holes with a guy named Danny, he was a really cool older guy. The hard packed ground was giving me awesome skips.
Cons: Watch out for the rocks! Watch out for the river on a couple holes, with the length of them and a good gust or bad skip and it's "bye-bye" disc. My approach shot on 5 almost skipped into the river. The last 8 or 9 holes are home made and only have one set of chains.
Other Thoughts: The locals told me they were collecting money for the last of the home made baskets to be replaced. The place really was awesome. I wish me had more courses like it in SW Washington. Good job to the crew of no doubt, dedicated locals on keeping their park so nice and working on improving it!

Nice course, good I-5 break Pros:
- Technical, but not overwhelming for novices.
- Easy to get in a quick 18
- Friendly & helpful locals
- Nice break for I-5 trips
- Fine for winter play
- Good for dogs
- $2 per car is pretty reasonable, don'tcha think?

Cons:
- Dam hole is unforgiving! Lost a disc (smashed) here. Any way to make the concrete softer? :)

Hot, Windy
Pros: This is one nice course to take in.
Teepads are very nice, almost everyone is concrete and are a fitting length to the throws you would need.
The holes are set up to be challenging, yet rewarding for the well thrown shots.
Was nice start with shorter, straight narrow or slight turning shots to the latter half being wide open big arm throwers. The contrast to each other was nicely done and very good layout.
It is a $2 pay-to-play course, but is nicely cared for so paying is not a burden. Enjoyed the maintained park and the nice restrooms (even had a gatorade vending machine!)
Bathrooms and benchs are a nice touch to the tired and out-of-shape discers.
Enjoyed the hike and the terrain, but you probably will have to bring water with you. The sun can be quite brutal if you are out of shape, play your speed!
The homemade baskets are in good condition.
The two caretakers were nice and very friendly, enjoyed chatting and joking with the guy trying to run us over with his golfcart :-D

Cons: The homemade baskets are a little more slender than the regular baskets so putting was a little more difficult.
The weather was very warm and the wind was high, it isn't really a true con but was very difficult to play normally...
I think it was hole 15.. or 14, had a nice rock bed to greet your drive. You might want to use a high quality disc cause mine took quite the knock.

Other Thoughts: This was a VERY enjoyable course. Player the long tees, had fun throwing many types of shots required to score well. I do want to go back and play the short tees so i can see how they both play in relation to each other. I dont know how the campground was so i didnt add to either pro or con section, but it is there.

First Course I Ever Played On

Pros: This course has nice concrete tee pads. The holes are challanging but still really fun. The first time I went there, a few years ago, it was really over grown but they have since trimmed the place up and made it a much funner place to play disc golf.
Cons: The second half of the course is pretty much all in direct sunlight and during the summer it can be exhausting with temperatures reaching 100s. The baskets are home made and it seems to me that they are narrower than should be.
Other Thoughts: This was the first course I ever played on, that was in 2000, and got me hooked on disc golf. It was a great course then as it still is now.

Other Thoughts: This course is great if you are wanting to hop off the freeway for a quick round. There is alot of shopping close to the course and alot of food places also.
This is a natural 2 courses in 1 day stop... Tom Pearce then Lake Selmac, That makes for an AWESOME summer day! :D

good course. 
Pros: i like the mixture of long open holes and short enclosed holes. it was alot of fun. not to many hills which i liked.
Cons: didn't like the hole throwing directly onto rocks it was pretty hard on my disk and didn't like paying the fee cause i didn't know there was one. but 2 dollars aint bad.
Other Thoughts: it was over all a real good course. liked walking up on the structure and throwing from the top of it

Cons: -a little too open for my liking. small trees and not that many of them.
-pay $2 to park. big deal. you can walk in if you need to
-some people don't like the homemade baskets. i thought they were fine... a little skinny. just bring your putting game...
-hot hot hot! it was the middle of july, but my coastal ass got fried that day.
rough landing for discs on rocky terrain.

Other Thoughts: this course is set on a dry, arid rock bed along a river. the terrain can be a bit rough and there are lots of thorny bushes. terrain aside, this course was obviously designed very well, with complete variety of shots and good length. this is a good course, but i don't know why someone would give it a 5.

Hiking while throwing...
Pros: Every hole had a nice concrete tee box for "long" and "short" tees.
Tee were all level to fairly level.
There were signs to tell you were the different tees were at since most of the time they were not on the same path, which in my mind made this 18 hole course a 36 hole course since the long and short tee normally were not in line with each other and the hole. (I played the long tees only)
Friendly locals with lots of feedback and helpful advice. (Thankx to Lynard and his grand-sons for showing me the ins and outs of the course)
Each sing had a hole and distance marker and I'm pretty sure all the short tees did also.
The grounds were well kept and cut back and down where they were needed.
Baskets were very easy to see from far away.
This course had a lot of diverse shots, but mostly straight with trees in the way to test your accuracy.
Hole 16 has a very interesting mandatory shot on it (This hole falls under the "epic hole" category).
Some good elevated tee shots and up hill shots as well and some bomb shots.
Had bathrooms on site.

Cons: No course maps on site that I saw.
Some of the course was on types of grounds that you wouldn't want to throw your disc on... but not very many areas were like this and a well placed shot could avoid it all together.
This course may be hard to find the baskets on some holes without a guide or a map... but the tees were well marked on were the next ones were, as well as obvious paths to follow. (I still strongly recommend trying to play with one of the locals for your first time)
(I love free courses) This one will cost you $2.00 per car to get into the park which is well worth it... however with the amount of people that I saw coming in to play disc golf, I would thing that the park over-seer would allow them to replace the homemade baskets one at a time instead of demanding them all be done at one time. From what I heard from many of the locals is that the people who are in charge of the park aren't really into the disc golf scene.
If you don't want to pay the $2, or just don't have it... then you could park up the road from the entrance and walk down to the park for free.

Other Thoughts: Home made baskets... I liked them a lot. They were easy to see and seemed to catch the disc very well. They are made out of old truck rims. They are big rims and seem to be the same size of most professional baskets.
This course is a bit on the rugged side... you will be hiking just a bit... not too bad though. There is black berry bushes that are probably more of an issue in the summer.
Even in the 38 degree temp, there was a fair amount of people on this course... could be crowded in the warmer months.
Running water, bathrooms, awesome scenery, camping, dogs "on leashes" welcomed... all and all a great place that I look forward to playing in the summer.
