Abrams Park Disc Golf Course In Ridgefield Presents A Challenge Both With It’s Technical Nature And Steep Elevation. 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:May 19, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

The disc golf course at Abrams Park plays on the steep hillside up behind the baseball fields. As the course plays up and down the steep hillside you will be exhausted by the end of your round. You can see a lot of work love and effort has gone into the construction of this course. There has been much clearing and cutting of brush to make the course what it is today. The concrete keypads are adequate. The signs are simple but effective and the yellow Discatchers show up well through the forest.

The course is very technical and consistently plays up and down the mountain side. In my opinion, number eight is the signature hole on this course. It plays down a very steep hillside with trees and lots of ferns to gobble up your disc. The lower part of the hole is extremely steep. It plays longer than you think, requires a deft touch and is also very technical. Good luck! This is one of the more creative and unique holes you'll find anywhere

Cons:

The entire mountain side is covered with sword ferns which are notorious for eating discs. I'm sure you'll spend some time hunting for your discs which were swallowed up in Fern Gully.

The maintenance and upkeep of this course will be something to watch. Maintaining this 3 acre course on this steep hill side will be a challenge in itself. I hope the person or persons in charge of this course are up to that task.

There are no places on this course to show off your arm.

The nine hole course plays at a recreational level.

Playing this course is an exercise in fitness. You will be dog tired when your round is over.

Might be a little dangerous in winter or wet weather. I wouldn't want to be trying to navigate the 8th fairway when it's wet.

Other Thoughts:

Richfield's close proximity to I-5 makes this course an attractive pitstop on your drive between Seattle and Portland. # 8 is worth the price of admission. You'll want to empty your bag here but hunting for all those discs in the thick sword ferns will quickly bring you back to reality and you'll think better of that idea.

As impressed as I am with the development and construction of this course, I am equally concerned with it's continued maintenance and upkeep. The steep hillside will present a major problem while maintaining the course. Just dragging your tools up and down the mountainside will be a chore in itself. I wish you good luck in keeping this course clear and in great playing condition.
