Pros:
another great course on the oregon coast!
i played the ice bowl tourney, jan 2019. great turnout, good dg community event.
this course winds its way through a coastal forest, most holes are shorter and technical with lots of elevation and even more trees! a couple big holes out in the open to air it out, but beware the rough on both sides!
some seemingly easy holes that turn into nightmares if you hit one of the many trees, can test every shot in your bag just to get out of the ravine, or run birdies if youre a boss!
some blind basket placements make you sweat a little on the tee, although most are not that long. some demanding lines, but also multiple ways to get across or up or down the ravine or through the forest. great use of the property, owned by the town of Waldport, who built some crucial stairs and bridges to get you across some gnarly landscapes.
baskets are solid and brand new. a few are very precarious on the hillsides and demand accuracy.
the risk/reward factor is high, which makes it quite fun for a course of this size.
signage and teepads are quality and rare for a brand new course to feature right away. navigation can be a little tricky at first but the paths are fairly obvious.
an available and quality course map helps.
Cons:
as it is brand new, it has some serious rough to eat discs. even with spotters on hole 6, some discs were nearly impossible to find, or lost in the tangle of brush or trees.
some might say its a bit repetitive with lots of RHFH or LHBH lines, but youll be tested on every drive.
some of the walk outs down and up the hills could be treacherous in wet weather, and will need more steps and stomping down.
mud.
Other Thoughts:
this, plus Wilder in Newport just up the 101 make this area a good destination for a big day of hiking and technical, challenging and fun disc golf adventure through gorgeous Oregon coast wilderness.
