Pros:
+ Located in Tualatin, minutes from I-5, it's easily accessed by suburb dwellers looking for something more casual than an 18 hole Pier Park or Champoeg
+ Easy to play holes 1-7 & 9-10 in ~30 minutes to make for a fun lunch break
+ Fairways are open and usually only have a few trees or the church acting as scattered obstacles, makes it easy for beginners and hard to lose discs
+ The church runs a lost-and-found if you happen to get your disc stuck in a tree or on the roof
+ Course map available in a little box by 1's teepad
+ Teepads and baskets are clearly marked and color coded, easy to follow the map the first time and remember the order for future rounds
+ Grass is always manicured. Ground stays firm and drains well in the winter so conditions are always good
+ Nice variety of distance, elevation, ground slope, and obstacle positioning requires a range of shots. Even has a couple par 4s (2, 7) and a tough 3 (8). Play mandos (i.e. between the trees *or* right of the trees will vary hole 9 as a tunnel shot or big hyzer) for added difficulty.
+ Newer "pro teepads"--denoted by a white line on the pavement or white wooden plank in the grass--exist to add distance to several holes
Cons:
- Some obstacles are dangerous for intermediate players who have moderate distance but lack accuracy: gardeners, church windows, cars in the parking lot
- Fairways overlap. Generally not a problem; I've never seen more than a few groups playing at once, but that does sometimes require waiting for groups on the other holes
Other Thoughts:
The Boones Ferry Community Church has set up a great little practice course. If you have hours to play or are just visiting town, head to one of the area's many great 18 hole courses. But if you've only got a short time and you're looking to have some fun in town, this course is the best option outside of Lunchtime. It offers more shot variety and less foot traffic than Greenway, Orchard, and Rockwood.
