Buxton DCG 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Jan 30, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

-Great tee pads and Bentley baskets with benches or tables at every hole.
-Layout is good with elevation changes, ravines, and a great throw over a pond.
-Beautiful course in the woods with good views. A great escape from the city.
-Grounds are clean with most fairways mowed and several garbage cans distributed throughout.
-Course maps available at on site pro shop which has friendly staff.
-Practice baskets & tables near parking area and pro shop for relaxing before or after your round.
-Close to other courses, restaurants, and stores for a full day of disc golf.

Cons:

-Course is still under construction, but all 18 holes are playable.
-Some holes are short, but it sounds like different pin positions will be added.
-The rough is thick, due to second growth forest that needs dead branches trimmed.

Other Thoughts:

This course has amazing potential. All cons I saw were due to the course being under construction. However, the staff seemed determined to listen to the disc golf community to create an awesome course and it sounds like there are good things in the works for this course. Don't be scared because of the construction, course is very playable. Best new course in the Portland area.

*UPDATE 1-30-2016*
Many upgrades to this course since my last update. Played this course many times since it has opened. Fun bag tag league on Sundays at 10am. Owners continue to add longer tee pads, and additional pin placements. The course has been substantially upgraded in terms of underbrush cleared out, trails added, & upgraded signage. This is a great course and very worth the drive from Portland.

Great Potential 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Oct 6, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

- Buxton Woods has great tee pads that are long and wide.
- This course has great Bentley Baskets that are a beautiful blue color.
- Most of the holes have brooms and trash cans at the teepads.
- The course offers a variety of holes and shot types but relies heavily on straight tunnel shots more than any thing else.
- There are picnic benches at most holes
- Course has a little ProShop called 'The 19th hole' on site - All Innova plastic $8 DX - $17 Star - They also sell snacks and drinks.

Cons:

- This course needs proper tee signs with all the info necessary info.
- The rough is extremely rough at this course, if you don't keep your disc in the fairway you will have a very difficult time not only finding your disc but also in advancing to the hole.
- Errant shots on 18 (especially with headwind) run the risk of hitting the house and breaking windows.
- Hole 15 has almost no route and the 'fairway' is rougher than some of the walking paths between holes - this hole needs some serious work

Other Thoughts:

-This course is still in the works and I'm told will have three pin positions per hole and full tee signs as well. Once it's had some good use a lot of the rough areas and fairways will start to function as they should.
- There's an off leash dog 'Cody' on the property and will follow you around the course.
- There's a portapotty in the parking lot.
