Absolutely love this course. Nice variety of long and short holes. Multiple pin locations. If you are traveling through Corvallis or that area you should def. try to play this course. Course can get a bit swampy in places. All in all, a great course!

An entertaining array of wide open long shots, recently added par-4's mixed in there and a stretch of impressively technical but well thought-out shorter shots through the thick woods. Definitely the best mid-Willamette valley course for an advanced player. Course is frequently changing and evolving, making it even more fun for locals.

Dense brush in a few areas can make for a few extra minutes of disc-searching if not careful. Poison Oak in the area but not too bad.

There are a variety of holes here. You need to control and on many holes, shape them correctly. I love the challenges this course brings. I would have hated this course when I was newer, but now having more experience, I love that this course gives me the opportunity to throw very crafty shpaed shots, bomb shots, skilled mid and short shots, etc.

It's not too hard to loose a disc here. Some holes it's not a bad idea to have someone run out and spot your throws. Especially in the fall (lots of leaves) and spring (taller grasses).

I just find this to be a very fun course. The people I"ve run inot here are all courteous players. I have to use every shot in my bag to play well here and I love that.

Open holes to air it out after some tight/technical holes. Clean. Cared for very well. Uses the landscape very well, all kind of shots.

No maps/scorecards on the day I went. Or the next time either. Take scrap paper.

I'll surely go back for more! Gotta be a top course in the state! It's one of the best and funniest courses I've played.

Take scrap paper and pen/pencil with you to track score.

Ample parking
Excellent signage
Very active Club maintenance
Multiple Pins
Bathrooms and drinking water (seasonal)
Elevation
Tight technical and open holes
Short and long holes including one par 4
Seasonal water hazard

Rubber tee-pads can be slippery in wet weather

Adair is in my opinion the best all around course from Eugene to Salem, and one of the top five in the State of Oregon. Adair is the home course of the Corvallis based Willamette Disc Golf Club and they take excellent care of the course and its natural features, and they host several excellent tournaments every year. Benton County Parks have proven to be a great land owner to work with and seem to really understand and appreciate disc golf and how to work with a disc golf club that wants to take responsibility and pride in a course.

Adair has the some of the best tee signs around, mounted onto sturdy wooden posts set in the ground with great graphics and protection. They are very informative and maintain the natural aesthetic of the park. The rubber tee-pads are one knock on the course as they do get wet and sometimes slippery in the rainy season, but these were the best option allowed by the Parks department. Ironically, it is the Parks mowing staff that have repeatedly damaged some of the pads. The pads themselves are very well constructed, flat, and no question of being sturdy but the rubber material is what it is. 90% of the time, they are not a problem. Rumor has it that the Parks department may have agreed to the concept of concrete tees so perhaps Adair will have them in the future.

The course is an excellent design that takes advantage of everything available - elevation, wide open grass with scattered trees, thick forest, oak savanna, a long berm, and even some seasonal water on one hole. There are only two holes where lost discs are a semi-regular occurrence: Hole 8 with the seasonal ditch full of water, and Hole 14 which is called "Cambodia" for a reason, and that reason is a strip of long uncut grass and thick willows backed up by more thick woods which will swallow an errant shot, but the shot will be either very poorly thrown or very very aggressive, so it's not an unreasonable rough - the fairway is wide open.

The course starts with a fairly short slight uphill shot, but one with road and tennis court OB on either side. It then plays back and forth up and down the same small slope through hole 4. Hole 5 is either perched on a long berm or tucked between the berm and the road - both positions require length and proper placement and have tripped up many players. Holes 6 - 10 utilize a fairly dense wooded portion of the park. This section of the course requires technical skill and can yield all birdies or plenty of extra strokes.

Hole 11 brings you back to the open section of the park and plays with OB road all the way down the left side. Holes 12-13 play up a long gradual slope of mowed park grass with scattered trees. 14 brings you to the top of the slope throwing down the other side into a beautiful oak grove that contains 14-17. Holes 15 and 16 are fairly short and you really want these birdies. To protect some of the oak trees on these holes the WDGC installed tree protectors made of 2x4's painted dark brown and loosely strapped to the trees in danger of hits from near the tee-pad. They work very well and you probably won't even notice them unless you hit one. This is my favorite section of the course, both because I usually need some birdies at this point and because of the oak trees and the resident Acorn woodpeckers that are often heard clowning on your bad shots.

Hole 18 is a long bomb down a gradual slope with some small trees scattered at about 350 feet of the 7-800 foot hole depending on pin position. It is a par 4 in either position which I think is the correct par, but because there is only one par 4 on the course this makes for some awkward scoring mistakes by people who forget and refuse to use simple math when adding their scorecards, but rely on the one up/one down method instead of the good ol' 3rd grade math of 2+3+3, etc.

All of the holes at Adair have 2 or 3 alternate pin positions which add a lot of variety in lines and difficulty. It is hard to overstate how much having several quality pin locations adds to the overall excellence of a course, and Adair is a good example of alternate pins done right.

In addition to the tree protection, the WDGC has built steps, stairs, trails, turnpikes, footbridges, and vegetation barriers on the course which keep the wear and tear to a minimum, promote safety, and protect the natural features of the course. The involvement of the club at Adair, along with the support of Benton County parks makes a huge difference in keeping this disc golf course looking and playing so great year round. This is what puts this course at the top of my list for the Mid-Valley, and earns it a 4 rating. The design, terrain, playability, fun and challenge of Adair are comparable to other area courses that I rate at 3.5, but having strong stewardship by disc golfers and a land owner that understands and supports disc golf gives it the edge.

A fine course and well worth checking out if you are in the area. There is a great variety of holes including a few ace run opportunities, some long holes like the 820' #18, ob possibilities and several very woodsy holes. These woodsy holes actually taught me what I consider to be a very valuable disc golf lesson. It teaches you to study your shot and choose a gap that will advance you far up the fairway, rather than trying to park a 280' shot through dense forest and hitting the 1st tree and trying to save bogey. Elevation changes also add to the variety. The bathroom across from #2 tee and #17 fairway is always open. The rubber tee pads are fine and the tee signs are real classy.

The hillside approaching #18 can get real sloppy in the rainy season and many a disc golfer has ended their round in a pile of slop, but hey it sure beats not playing. Though I can,t rate the course a 5 it is very solid and much work has been done there to make it a great experience. You really have to stretch to say anything bad about Adair.

An equal balance of up and down, different forest/brush types, long and short. In may ways, every hole is different than the one previous, with a different challenge on each. There are many similarities from groups of holes to other groups of holes.

Overall, this course will make you a better disc golfer.

Not anywhere near as crowded as some of the other courses in the area.

Great tees and hole descriptions, along with a map of where the next tee is. Easy to navigate the first time.

Park is groomed regularly.

Huge 18th hole is a lot of fun at the end.

There is no indication when they change the basket placements.

There is a sewage treatment plant near holes 7,8,9, and 10 that is real fruity on a hot day.

I play this course around 2-3 times a week. I consider it my home course. It can be crowded, but no where near Willamette. The difficulty of the wooded holes keeps most of the casual golfers out (this place can eat discs).

I cannot state how much I love this place. Like Dexter, it has a variety of similar holes, but each hole has it's own personality. Its just the right amount of difficult (not ridiculous). My best round here was +2, but my average is around +5.

Update (7/1/12): The Willamette Disc Gold Club has installed longer new basket positions for holes 4 and 6. Hole 4 long runs is just in the woods from the field to the right (par 3). Hole 6 long runs back from the prior long position and is now a par 4 position.

Nice Baskets,good elevation variation on holes ,wide range of shots,uncrowded,multiple pin settings

Thick underbrush,poison oak

This course has something for everyone-- long shots,short shots,tomohawks,rollers,hyzer,anhyzer and accuracy.If you only have one shot that you are good at this course will give you trouble.This would not be a good course for beginners.If you are intermediate to advanced you will like this course.This is a good course to improve your skills

Good mix of holes. Decent elevation change. Used what they had quite well.

The tees can be slippery. The land is what it is but that is what limits how great the course could be.

The added holes they use for tourneys are excellent.

Elevation, trees, open, long, short, it has it all. This is one of Oregon's premier courses, challenging and fun. It has birdie opportunities for all levels of players. I love that there is tight wooded areas, big bomber holes and some exciting elevation.

Lots of POison Oak! You can smell the neighboring sewage treatment facility when your in the woods. The worst course I know of for POiSON OAK!!

ONe of the best in Oregon, and close to I-5.

Open holes, very technical woods holes, length, elevation, and out of bounds hazards. Adair Park has great variety, fantastic tee signs, and multiple pin positions.

Some of the new long pins in the tight woods have a bit more "luck factor" than I like.

Great course with woods, elevation and distance. it starts off short but gradually gets longer..
rubber pads
Very nice challenging course with everything you could ask for.

No way of knowing where the basket is on wooded holes. So you have to walk or guess. which is why this one doesn't get a 4.5 or 5
The times I have been there it has been busy so prepare to wait on a few holes.

Some of the wooded holes really make you work.

Overall a great course I would go more than I have, but it is 45min+ from my house.

Another great course that's located outside of the city hustle and bustle. All the terrain of this beautiful park was utilized - thick woods, elevation, open fields, mixed field and trees. It reminded us of the best of some of our great courses up in Washington. Balance is required to score well here, so bring a variety of discs. I remember loving the more wooded holes for their difficulty, but also loved launching off the #18 tee into a mostly open field that slowly rolled down to the final pin. I normally don't like more open holes but this one had character. The tees and signage are excellent and you can really tell where you're supposed to throw.

A few places that are easy to lose discs if you aren't paying attention - where grass gets quite high.

I think that courses with multiple pins should follow PA course Tyler St. Park's example- put a little rotating dial which indicates which position the pin is in. It can save some walking and guessing, especially when it comes to doglegs and really long holes.

- Good combination of long, short, technical, and open holes.
- All holes have multiple pin locations.
- Holes 2-10 are very technical and require a variety of shot types, hyzers, flip shots, anhyzers.
- Holes 11-18 are more open and require more distance shots, with the exception of a few.
- Hole 18 is ~800' and downhill, very fun hole.
-Tee signs are excellent with multiple pin locations and distances.

- Some of the holes are blind and it's pretty easy to lose a disc because of this. Almost lost three discs in one round.
- After you get past hole 10 there isn't much shade and it gets pretty hot.
- The grass doesn't get mowed very often and the grass gets pretty high: makes losing a disc more likely and prevents your disc from skipping which can get frustrating.

One of the best courses I've played. It's nice to have a course that challenges you on so many different aspects of your game. It's courses like these that help you improve your overall game and I recommend it for anyone in the area or just passing through.

This was my first time playing Adair and I can't wait to go back and shoot a lower score now that I've seen what it has to offer. This course does a great job "leveling" the playing field. Accuracy is just as, and often times more important than crushing big drives. A bad first shot on the treed holes can turn a 2 or 3 into a 4 or 5 really quickly and you can't blame anyone but yourself! Definitely make the extra effort to see one of the top 5 courses in the state.

Long wooded and open fairways. A great diversity in elevation. Can be challenging but always a good time.
No college students!!!

wish it was closer

Some holes are still under construction. But overall it is a clean well planned course.

-Baskets in great shape.
-Kiosk with maps.
-Variety of distances from under 200' up to past 700'.
-Variety of hole type ranging from short wooded tech holes to long open range bombers.
-Nice use of available elevation: Some shots shoot up to 20' downhill. A couple uphill bombs as well.
-Great mix of hazards including carved fairways, and some holes with OB make for great risk/reward scenarios.
-Very fair lefty vs. righty (I think the course was mainly designed by a RHFH dominant player).
-Bathrooms available.
-Water available.
-Many holes have benches.
-Plenty of dedicated parking available.
-Good markings along the course helping you navigate.
-Strong local club involvement keeps the place tidy.
-Tee signs have illustration of hole, as well as distance for tee positions.
-All holes have at least two alternate pin positions, some have more!
-Course flow is great, taking you around the entire park in a nice loop. Eighteen ends about 300 feet away from hole one and the parking lot.
-Scenic beauty. The course is just in a beautiful area of Oregon. Part of the course plays through a section of very old, old-growth oak trees that are about as tall as an oak tree can get.
-Lot's of tournaments throughout the year to compete in, including:
...Festivus (winter tourney)
...OLE Series event
...Oregon Series event
...Umbrella Open
...and many more.

-Rubber teepads. Rubber tee pads work really well in some areas of the country. Oregon is not on that list. With a little mud and rain, rubber tee pads can be VERY slippery and dangerous. I wish they'd put concrete down at Adair.
-There is some poison oak, although the locals have been doing a good job recently at keeping it to a minimum.
-It can be pretty windy at Adair at times, bring extra clothing in winter to shield you from the freezing wind.

Adair is one of the top five courses in Oregon, and Oregon has a lot of great courses. With Adair only being a 20 minute drive west off of I-5, there is really no excuse not to stop off for a round if you're passing through. The course is marked well enough that it's quite easy to figure it out your first time without searching for things. Also, there are maps provided for ease of navigation.

Big arms and shorter throwers alike will love Adair with it's excellent variety. Anyone who can throw an accurate 320' shot will do much better than someone with an inaccurate cannon arm.

As mentioned above, the place is beautiful, the park sits on the edge of a tiny little village, there are rarely any crowds, and the landscape is worthy of being painted.

Adair hosts many large tournaments every year put on by surrounding DG clubs, and for a few of those tourneys, they alter the course into a championship level course. It's fantastic and I'd suggest playing one of those tournaments to any seasoned pro, or aspiring advanced amateur.

I love Adair, and the only real beef I have is with the tee pads. I don't have a wild run-up and am generally pretty smooth and easy off the tee pad, but I have fallen at Adair more than a couple times. Last year I pulled a muscle in my back during a tournament and had to quit playing. Oregon climate/weather really necessitates concrete tee pads, especially if the holes are anywhere near mud. Fly Pads just don't cut it.

Other than the tee pads, I think Adair is a top-notch course, and I take every opportunity I can get to shoot a round there. With concrete tees, I would rate Adair at least 4.5 stars.
