Okay local course 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 30, 2017 Played the course:once

Pros:

New DISCatcher baskets; white tees and baskets clearly numbered; excellent course map sign at beginning (which I photographed and added here as Course Map); navigation mostly easy; plenty of parking; very clean (just like Pendleton); good neighborhood; not shared with other park activities; good use of limited space.

Cons:

Holes mostly short; natural tees (although holes are short enough that it doesn't affect play); navigation a little confusing despite map; was unable to play one hole (see below); off fairway shots can require a little searching (but not bad); roads and 1 parking lot near play on some holes; no amenities nearby.

Other Thoughts:

Even though this if off I-70, it still took some winding roads to get to the park. Description here says white cups are long tees and orange flags are short - I did not see many/any orange flags and the white tees were not always where the map said they would be - e.g. #2 claims long tee throws across road but the white cups were in the short tee position and it wasn't clear at all where there would be if across the road. I'm a wienie arm and I overthrew the first two baskets from the tee - played the whole course in under 30 minutes and that included two disc hunts and several wrong turns trying to find the tees; could easily play it in 20 minutes now that I "know" the course. Not much point in a hole-by-hole description since they are all short and pretty similar. #9 is an uphill throw which is really the only green that is unique. I couldn't play #6 because some truck backed up from the parking lot right into the middle of the fairway and I didn't want to throw over it. The driver gave me a dirty look anyway when I walked past his truck. Not a bad course at all but definitely not a destination. Good for kids except for being near roads on a couple. Traffic on those roads was non-trivial but waiting 30 seconds usually meant a clear period for throwing. Adding pads and next tee signs would raise its rating - I understand it is new so they are probably experimenting with different tee locations for now. Hole #3 was my favorite.
