Located 30 minutes from downtown, Thousand Trails is a nine hole recreational course that plays through primarily open fields with the exception of holes two and seven which were more tightly wooded. Par for the course with its most recent layout is 27, with holes ranging anywhere from 228-415 ft. With the exception of a few holes, this course offers little challenge and lacks the fun factor. It is fun that they added this course to a campground but lacks creativity and difficulty. With the exception of landing in the bog on hole six and seven, there is little chance of losing a disc.

The course, with the exception of the grassy fields being mowed, has had very little upkeep/course maintenance and is not really worth one's time unless you are already camping here and/or looking to bag another course like myself.

Baskets were DISCatchers and were easy to spot from the tee but were outdated and worn. Numbers on the faceplate of the baskets were often facing the opposite direction from the tee making navigation even more difficult.

Tee pads were often overgrown and/or missing entirely and without a map it made the original pad difficult to spot. Fortunately, after minutes of searching, we could usually spot the area where the tee pads once due to the ground being warn away. However, it shouldn't have to be this hard to navigate when you are paying for a service and the fact that the ranger station didn't have a map is pretty bad.

I came to Thousand Trails while traveling to Leavenworth for my brother's 40th birthday and so we were already amped to drink and eat so we didn't really care that the disc golf was abysmal at best but the fact that it costs $10/person to play a terrible course is absolutely absurd! I have played some of the best pay to play courses in the U.S and have yet to pay this much for a course in this kind of shape. I am all for pay to play but expect some of the money to go back toward the actual course itself! If I wasn't trying to play every course in the state of WA I would have never made this stop. It was out of the way and left very little fulfillment in the end with the exception of checking off another course. Although the $10/person includes access to the multi-use area (swimming pool, putt-putt golf, picnic area, etc) most disc golfers are just looking to pass through quickly on their way to beer and brats.

NOTE: Word around the campfire is that they are looking to expand to 18 holes next summer. It would be nice if they could first take care of what they have and make it the best nine holes it can be with what land they have before they make nine more holes that are wide open and eventually become overgrown. I hope that if/when they do add the new nine that they do an overhaul of the course and update the tee boxes, signage, pins, and layout. There is potential here but for now it is not worth it. Trust me.
