Safe and clean park with well marked signage and concrete t pads. Excellent baskets. Wide variety of shots. Hard to lose a disc on most holes, but beware of thick berry bushes along a few fairways. Magnificent trees. I imagine the course plays much different in non-summer months. We had only dry fairways, no water, brown fast grass so skips and rollers in play.

Could use some longer holes as you never really get to use a driver at full power. No elevation changes.
Several large slow family groups playing disc.

A fun and solid course, but no Milo.
I would advise playing on weekday or early AM on weekend. Nearest food/drink is store several mins drive from course. I would play again if in the vicinity.

I played a hot afternoon around 7:00p, the course was still open until 9. The sun was still out in early summer but there was plenty of shade on the course. The course was well manicured with the branches cut high and the grass cut short. Not a lot of places to lose a disc here right now. There was a full 18 holes with Mach style baskets and 2 well kept short and long tee pads for each hole. There were a full range of holes from couple hundred feet to what seemed like 500+ on the par 4s. Each tee had metal signs that showed all of the placements as well as the distances to each basket. The baskets had signs directing you to the next tee so it made it easier to find your way. I still used a map and had trouble finding the basket for 10 at first. There were a lot of straight and slight dog leg shots with a couple baskets up about 4' on stumps. This course was fun I got to watch a couple walk their giant caged bird/parrot around the walking path and I was able to quickly play through it solo.

There was not that one hole that makes a course unique, you know what I'm taking about. Putting a basket on a stump dose not make it unique. Other than that ok.

-Outstanding teepads and baskets. The Mach X baskets catch great and look amazing. Tee pads that "flair out" toward the fairway always play better, and these 12' pads are just a treat to throw from.
-Good flow of play. With few exceptions, (hole 5 to 6 comes to mind) the next tee pad is in a logical location.
-Good use of terrain. This property is flat, and the designers clearly took time to arrange the fairways around the best feature of the terrain - the amazing oak trees! These trees are mature and majestic. A nice change of pace in the land of evergreens.
-Near non-existence of undergrowth. This cannot really be oversold to any PNW'er who has spent hours looking for discs in stands of ferns (or blackberry, huckleberry, stinging neddles, etc.) only to find your disc in the first fern you looked at! It kind of feels like playing on a ball golf course in that respect.
-The grass was recently mowed and that was nice. I imagine it is not ALWAYS mowed though.

-Navigation. There are maps at the kiosk, but that only goes so far. When each hole has upwards of 5 pin locations, a basic map is really just a suggestion.
-Tee signs. They're there, and are printed in decent quality and laminated, but...the elements do a number on simple signs like these. Most are simply stapled to a landscaping stake, and have curled around it. Let's call them a nice start.
-Which basket are we playing today? I'm sure the locals appreciate the various basket locations (I sure would!) but unless you've played the course 50 times then you're unlikely to be able to tell if you're playing the 306' pin or the 345' pin on most of the holes.

I've only played the course once but I enjoyed it. Other reviewers have noted the swampy conditions, which I did not experience but could certainly see where and how that would effect your round. I played the "short" tees, but looked at the longs and even threw a few from there as well. The short pads were not much of a challenge, but there is enough variety with the pins/pads to create a much more difficult tournament layout if you wanted. I'd like to play in that tournament.

The Portland area has a lot of great disc golf courses, many of which are better than Champoeg Park (Milo McIver, Pier Park, Blue Lake, to name just a few) but that should NOT deter you from putting this course on your list. This is a course to enjoy.

* Nice location - oak groves provide shade, flat grassy meadows and some understory shrubs in the rough. Beautiful in the late spring and early fall especially.

* Some challenging holes, decent variety of shots. The new design is quite long (maybe too long) and there are many trees to try and dodge.

* Rough/out-of-bounds areas are well-marked with red stakes. Most rough areas are not too punishing. Low odds of lost discs.

* Concrete tees and rubber alternate tees on each hole. Mach X baskets are nice, but some holes have older baskets.

* Large state park with many amenities, including day use facilities, camping, historical museums, and a visitor center.

* Restrooms and garbage cans close to the course. Usually plenty of parking available.

* Only five miles from two 9-hole courses in Newberg.

* Virtually no signage except for the first hole. Take a photo of the course map with your phone, or get a printed copy at the visitor center before you play. There can be decent walks from pin to next tee, and the direction is not always obvious. This is no problem for the locals I'm sure but if you don't play here regularly, take preparations or you will miss holes or play them out of order.

* Course is very flat. Elevated baskets on tree stumps help somewhat but it's kind of an "is what it is" thing.

* First few holes (#1-3) are a bit close together. Keep an eye out for flying discs headed your way!

* Course can get swampy in the winter, and crowded on the summer weekends.

* Some poison oak on this course, be careful.

* This is a fee park, but compared to the other fee parks in the area the course could be a bit more improved.

* Good course for: people who haven't played Champoeg since the 2014 redesign and addition of holes - it's a lot more challenging now. Also good for people with giant arms - a lot of long holes here.

* Bad course for: beginners, people in a hurry, people looking for lots of elevation changes and mind-blowing shot setups, people playing in the winter without waterproof shoes.

* King for a day: I would add signage to the main (concrete) tees, and add "next tee" markers to the baskets. This would improve the experience for new and infrequent visitors immensely. I would also finish the Mach X basket rollout so the holes have matching baskets, and add some benches to the tees.

A full 18 hole course now
Recently, work has been done to carve out more of a "course". It is now much more clear where to walk, and the rough is grown out a bit more which I think adds to the feel.
Large new concrete tee pads
Close to I-5

A mixture of baskets, some single chains
No signage
Plays in a circle around a parking lot

A much more fun course now with the recent improvements. Worth the drive, and easy to buddy up a round with Wheatland DGC just 15 min south.
