Great course, fun holes, outstanding location, usually not too busy.

Terrain doesn't vary all that much, some holes are contrived, sometimes other park goers drunkenly wandering into the course, and once in a while course hogs.

Great course for the summer to throw a couple-three rounds of casual intermediate golf. A lot of the holes are kind of the same, but it's still fun. Bring a six pack and your dog and take your time and have fun here. It's nice in the summer under the trees when other places are too hot to play.
Afterwards go to Roger's Landing for a dip in the river and grab a delicious pint at Wolves And People to make a day of it.
I play here a lot in the summer.

Big parking lot
Great tee signs with rings under them showing what pin the location is in...multiple pin placements
Big long tee pads!!! Some of the best tee pads you'll see on a course
Mach x baskets our like new.
Good mix of par 3s and 4s allows you to throw some max distance drives.
Mandos are clearly marked out.
Course flows fairly well.
Hole 18s pin Placement in the stump is pretty sweet.

Really flat course, literally next to none on the elevation change here.
Feels kind of repetitive... most holes are fairly open so most scores of same skill level will be close..dosen't offer much score separation.
In the winter becomes a mud pit and borderline unplayable
Couple spots you could get turned around hole 5 to hole 6 mainly..use the arrows under the basket that's what they're there for!!
No real signature shots

All in all it's a great course and worth the stop. 5 dollar parking pass required but I do recommend checking it out. Not much chance to lose discs when mowed

A nice long course for beginners and veterans with a variety of tees and baskets. Fun holes and fun shots. Hardly anything bad about this course except it's kind of annoying to pay the five dollars but if you only do this course occasionally its totally worth it.

Some of the tee signs were confusing as it showed there were many different baskets for just one hole. And some of the holes had more than one tee.

Truly one of the best courses I played. Definitely worth your time.

Champoeg State Park is located in St. Paul, Oregon and is a fantastic course for all ages. This course features great hardware and tee pads. First time there I would recommend a map.
The trees are amazing. Its pretty fun to play in the woods with big oak threes. But watch out for poison oak! Fun shots on every hole. Tee pads are great cement and new tee signs. Baskets are Mach X somewhat new and they are definitely not rusting yet.

Great accessibility first hole is right near parking lot. Also there is two practice baskets. But they are the very old discatchers that I believe they used to have at the course originally.

The first time I went there were no tee signs. Although on the tee pads they say the number of which hole it is but I wish they had just added them when the course was first built. Although there are only 6 pictures there are quite a variety of holes. Some are open some are wooded but it all plays on a flat terrain.

The last hole ends with elevated basket on the stump. My favorite holes are the first few ones. They are ace able but its fun to just have some straight away holes.

Last time I went to this course the grass was long but in the pictures the grass was short. On the first few holes I think it ok to have the long grass because those holes are pretty short medium length.

It is possible to loose a disc. But if you do loose a disc you might want to consider all the poison oak there is there. When you park there are a couple signs that will tell you what it looks like so you know what to look for. Although you probably will find your disc because there is not many places to loose your disc. But just don't throw a green disc or orange in the fall.

In the winter it can be very muddy and wet. Not very fun to play unless you have very good shoes. It is pretty busy during a regular day especially on the 4th of July. There are campgrounds as well.

I do like playing here once and while. Fun course if you are in the area or camping. 2 practice baskets which I find very awesome because unlike milo there is no practice basket.

I think it would be great if they had a few benches next to the tees because the big oak trees would shade it. And if it is a hot day it would be a nice way to cool off.


I find this course somewhat long but not really. A few holes are playing for some par 4s. The terrain is not great if you like terrain. It plays on a flat property no hills nothing.

Overall pretty great course there is not much to say about it but they just mowed it. It was a little annoying to play in the long grass unless you throw pretty close to the basket. I would like to play this course if I visit again. It is 5$ pay to play. If you live somewhat close I would recommend the state parks pass its only 25 dollars and it is all year.

Located in a State Park with more things to do than just disc golf.
The course has a good variety between the multiple pin locations (that do actually get moved) and long/short tee pads.
Fairways have been mowed neatly every time I have played.

The course is not usable all the time as drainage is a big issue. A lot of areas become small swamps.
Though a pro, the number of pin locations can be confusing for players that are not always there.

Champoeg is another option to the great courses around Portland. Though it is not necessarily on par with Milo, Pier Park, Horning's Hideout, etc. it is a great course to play. Added bonus to those interested is the Visitor Center sells custom park stamped DX discs.

-This course has a beautiful setting in a quiet state park among a grove of massive oak trees. The shade is very nice on a hot summer day.

-The routing is well thought out, with all different types of shots. Four holes can play as par 4s in the long position.

-#s 12, 13, and 18 had baskets on tree stumps. A nice change of pace. The one on #12 though, was too high. It's hard to retrieve your disc.

-Very little undergrowth, hard to lose discs.

-All New Mach X baskets, doesn't get any better than that!

-At least 2 basket locations on every hole. Some holes have 4 or 5. Most holes have two tees, also. I'ts a new challenge every time you play.

-Huge concrete tee pads with a rounded side pointing toward the basket. Never an awkward run-up here.

-There are tee signs, which have been there since at least February. They are laminated paper on wood posts. At first I thought they were for a tournament, but they are here to stay. Somehow, after 6 months and plenty of storms, all of the tee signs are still there. Permanent signs would be welcomed though.

-The ground is bumpy, with thousands of acorns, and it's easy to twist an ankle. Also, there's really no elevation change.

-No elevation change to speak of.

-Wild animal dung is all over. Keep an eye out for it.

-A sign at the info board warned of poison oak. Undergrowth is only a factor on a few holes, however. (#4, #6, #7, #15)

-It is a terrible winter course. Even on a nice winter day, there will be mud and standing water everywhere. A flat site adjacent to the Willamette River tends to not be the best place for winter play.

-The beautiful setting, teepads, and baskets, are what makes this a 4.0 rated course in my book.

-If you're in the area during summer, definitely check this course out. In winter it is a complete swamp. But during the summer it is a beautiful walk through the woods and is never too crowded. If you are one who must play on courses with nice baskets, this is for you. And the number of pin locations makes it a new, fun experience every time.

The course is very well laid out and the recent update to a full 18 is extremely well done. There are probably triple the amount of alternate pin positions with each hole having at least two (some have 4). The teepads are concrete and HUGE! They are semi teardrop shaped which is very nice for a wide variety of run ups. Three holes have pin positions on stumps to make them elevated and mix up the course a bit.

Course get VERY wet during the winter. There are low points all around the course with many ditches turning into creeks in the middle of the fairway. This isnt really anyone's fault but just the nature of the course in the lowlands. There is a creek that comes into play on hole 8 that you absolutely do not want to throw into in the winter but drys up in the summer.

This is my home course and I am really lucky to get to play here almost everyday in the summer. This summer will be the first full summer with 18 holes and new teepads and I know it is going to be awesome!

+ Trees shape the fairways to require a decent variety of shots on different holes
+ Scenic area with flat ground and trimmed grass
+ Course is well maintained and free of undergrowth, it would be very hard to lose a disc
+ New tee pads are the longest I've seen and are wider at the front to allow run ups from multiple directions
+ A few par 4s (I've read), though all holes seemed to be ~250-500ft.

- The lack of elevation change makes for an easy walk, but also detracts from shot variety
- No tee signs or updated course map, yet. Notes for those who knew the old layout: The old hole 2 was removed, and the new hole 3's tee pad is back near the start of the parking lot. Every other tee pad and basket were pretty easy to identify.

In an area saturated with great/excellent courses, Champoeg gets unfairly overlooked. Friends of Champoeg have done a great job improving the course, and while it isn't as challenging as Pier Park or McIver, it's a respectable course in a beautiful state park. It is ideal for beginners/families or more serious players who live fairly close. Also, note that they sell park-stamped DX Aviars, Sharks, Rocs, Teebirds, and Valkyries at the visitors center on the way in.

-Brand new huge tee pads
-Complete redesign of course adds A LOT more distance and plays more technical as well.
-Currently has 9 mach x baskets, with the other 9 coming with future funding
-Nice and flat
-Garbage cans spread around course
-Course has had a lot of trimming and cleaning done
-Now the course makes it way close to a bathroom around hole 11/12. Before the bathroom was quite a jaunt away
-Old Oak Grove provides a lot of shade during summer months
-There are still a few "am" pads on the course as well
-Quite lefty friendly.... :-D
-3 new stump holes locations!

-Hole 18's basket is quite close to hole 1's fairway
-A few holes play over roads and/or pathways
-No tee signs currently.

Thank you Friends of Champoeg for all the work you've done to this beautiful, scenic, and challenging Par 54 course. I LOVE IT!
