Pros:

Westmoreland DGC located in Eugene Oregon is a fun little 9 hole city park course. Westmoreland features an average of 250ft holes along a strip of land with minimal elevation change and minimal obstacles.

All the holes look identical almost. It practices your consistency I guess. Nice big course map near hole 1 with the park rules and some other information. The course follows a nice loop so it ends where you started. Westmoreland DGC is very beginner friendly. I would recommend this course to people starting out. The hole length isn't too long and it's not very challenging.

The tee signs are nice and detailed which is a plus. They show all the different basket locations. It's nice to see they have different basket locations since this course doesn't have much variety. For a nine hole course that's pretty straight forward it's great to see they have some up to date hardware.

The only obstacles on this course are park trees and pedestrians. Trees come into play on various different holes. The course is well maintained and it's in pretty good shape. Good size tee pads and Mach 5 baskets get the job done. Seems like they added some elevation by building some gentle slopes.

Cons:

There's quite a few walking trails along the Westmoreland DGC and I ran into a lot of people walking their dogs and bikers riding through. Had to wait on a lot of tees. There were even people having a picnic on hole 8 which wasn't ideal.

The homeless population has significantly decreased but there were still quite a few of them camped out on hole 4. This course isn't very challenging. Sure it's a good 9 hole course with pretty average length par 3s. Nothing really stands out though.

Other Thoughts:

I made the mistake of parking near the 7-11. I had to walk through the entire park before I reached the first hole. I recommend parking on the south side of the park near the boys and girls club.

Pros:

Practice basket on way from parking lot to hole 1.
Nice long cement tee pads with extra run up and follow through matting. Nice brand new looking tee signs with A and B basket placements. Hole 1 is a cool little tunnel shot, and the holes have good tree placements to add some obstacles. They seem to mow regularly

Cons:

The fairways are pretty mushy and muddy. There's a lot of pedestrians that seem to not have much disc golf awareness. Also homeless people throughout the park.

Other Thoughts:

All in all it's not a bad warm up round for one of the other eugene courses. It's basically your typical 9 hole worth the stop but not destination

Quick and easy course. 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 28, 2016 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Very accessible.
No trudging through brambles.
Good for beginners, honing skills, or going for some aces.
Little to no chance of losing a disc.
Good tee boxes and baskets.
Easy to navigate, obvious flow.
A round can be played very quickly.

Cons:

Heavy disc and non-disc use, sometimes a wait at the tee box.
Not challenging for intermediate/skilled golfers.
All par 3s.
Only 9 holes.
Almost no elevation change.
Swampy when its rainy, probably because its so flat.

Other Thoughts:

The course is heavily used because of its location in a somewhat busy part of Eugene. Lots of people use the part apart from golfers. Its an older course that was probably fine as far as length goes when it was new but as courses got longer and better Westmoreland was stuck; hemmed in by the city. Now its almost laughably short in comparison to more modern courses. A couple holes have been lengthened recently, which has helped. Its maintained like you'd expect a city park to be. Grass, some interesting/challenging trees here and there, but nothing that you could lose a disc in. Graffiti on the info plaques but they're still readable. It can get busy and not everybody is into/aware of letting people play through. When its clear, though, a single can play a few rounds in a short amount of time. I've had the majority of my aces on this course.

Eugene Disc Golf 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:May 5, 2014 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

-Nice baskets
-Teepads are fine
-Tee signs work
-Multiple pin positions
-Well taken care of city park

Cons:

-Extremely muddy
-Crowded
-Not much variety
-Only 9 holes
-Bathrooms?

Other Thoughts:

Situated in a beautiful city park in the middle of Eugene. The flow of the course is awesome. Hole one you throw straight through a row of trees with the basket sitting right between the last row. The course is actually set up really well with the land that it uses. It can get a tad bit busy being the only course in city limits. Matter of fact there was a wait time at every tee when I played. It was fine I enjoyed the company I had so I was in no rush. There are multiple pin locations. All were in position A when I played. I will definitely play this course again in the summer.

Feel Good Course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Aug 19, 2013 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

Nice, open fairways
Easy holes that make for a "feel good" score
All but one basket is visible from the tee
Good easy course to play glow golf

Cons:

Too many people on nice days
Alot of bums!
Open field shots make for a hard game in the wind

Other Thoughts:

This is the closest course to my house making it my home course. It is a perfect practice course to work on your game and test new discs. parking is easy and its close to stores. It can get packed and there may be bums, but normally everybody is really chill and i meet a new friend every time!

Pros:

Great for beginners, trying new shots, cool locals, great CTP course.

Cons:

short. theres not a hole on this course over 420ft. it can get pretty swampy as well. on nice days expect to wait in line for a little while.

Other Thoughts:

all in all this is a great little course thats well maintained. I play here almost everyday, and love it. its not the most challenging course ever, but if you need your disc golf fix, its not far from home.

Pitch and putt 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 16, 2011 Played the course:once

Pros:

- Great course for working the short game
- Open, but the few obstacles on the course make it mildly challenging
- Warm-up basket before the 1st tee

Cons:

- Very short, with little variety in holes
- Extremely crowded. I played on a Thursday afternoon and there were close to 20 people queueing at the beginning of the course.
- People don't seem to respect the rule of "don't drive when somebody else is playing the hole"

Other Thoughts:

Small pitch-and-putt course. Drivers are completely unnecessary; bring your midrange and putters and work on the short game. I would also recommend trying to play at off-peak hours, unless you're okay with crowds.

Pros:

There are a lot of open shots. If you go early in the morning before class there are not very many people around and you can get through two or three rounds fairly quickly. Good course to get your confidence up.

Cons:

muddy during the rainy season. It can get to be easy after playing it a few times.

Lazy September Afternoon 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Sep 24, 2009 Played the course:once

Pros:

Well laid out for the space provided. Multiple pin locations. Concrete tee pads with a black rubber pad extension at the front for your follow through. Professional signage. Practice basket. A well landscaped park that includes small rolling hills. Friendly locals.

Cons:

Baskets are pretty old and at least one has been abused and repaired, maybe multiple times. There is suppose to be a restroom in the park. Couldn't find it. Not a good situation. I even asked a local resident.

Other Thoughts:

I stopped in Eugene on other business and decided to check this course out. This is a typical city park with a 9 basket short course. I wouldn't go out of my way to play this course, but if I was a local this is the only game in the city. I could see myself playing here at least once a week if my location was near. Dexter is 17 miles away outside the city.
No matter what others say this course fills a need and by the number of people playing it everyday it fills it very well. It really is shame that Eugene only has 2 courses in the local area. This is a busy course; walkers, bikers, school kids, and of course disc golfers. Safari is also played here, don't be surprised if the group behind you starts throwing from the previous tee to the basket you just threw your drive on.

will ease your DG pain for awhile 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Sep 9, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

The best thing about this course is the baskets are changed quite often, which makes for somewhat of a challenge. Other than that it is just your typical 9 hole course
Going in the morning is the best thing about this course because there is literally no one there.

Cons:

Extremely busy if you don't play in the morning, and their are some locals who believe to know everything so watch out for them. That being said there are also some really awesome locals with tips and fun to chat with
Muddy sometimes..
no bathrooms
walking paths all through course

Other Thoughts:

there are only 2 holes above 300 so the "experienced" player won't need more than a buzz/roc on almost all the holes.

Overall it is a nice little course to get your disc golf fix if you need it. But if you come in the afternoon onwards it will be very busy and will take you well over an hour to play just 9 holes..

Not a "bad" course 2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 10, 2009 Played the course:5+ times

Pros:

This is a very easy course to begin on. Also, a great course to shake off the winter rust if you need.

The only hole I would consider to be technical is the 1st for a backhand thrower because it is down a corridor of trees and to the right of them is OOB. The rest are fairly wide open. After you play the 3rd hole the wind is a bit more of a factor and it is a head wind for 4 & 5 a cross wind for 6 & 8 (kinda) and a tail wind for 7.

GREAT course to bring a new disc too and practice with. NO chance of loosing a disc.

Nice little 9 hole course with an unofficial 10th (locals know what I'm talking about)

Cons:

Very swampy and wet in the lower sections. Around the 9th tee is always a sloppy, muddy, wet mess. Always a drunken bum somewhere on the course, usually next to the tee for #4 under the tree drinking and listening to music. I have had many songs stuck in my head for the rest of the round because of this lol

Other Thoughts:

It's close so I play it on weekdays. I really REALLY wish they would build a nice 18 hole course in Eugene.

Pros:

A nice place to get out and get your disc golf fix. The course has some trees but for the most part is fairly wide open. Don't forget your glass pipes....it'll be hard to see through the cannabis smoke on this course.

Cons:

The holes are short and elementary.
The haze of the hippie smoke make some of the shots unclear.

Other Thoughts:

Fun course a quick disc golf fix.

Nice Little Neighborhood Course! 2+ years

Reviewed: Updated: Played on:Feb 22, 2000 Played the course:never

Pros:

This is a decent little course to have in your pretty, little neighborhood park. The course just winds mostly around the outside of the park trying to avoid pedistrians. There's a little bit of elevation, enough trees to get in the way but no water to really make it unique So what you have is your standard 18 hole city type course. It's worth playing if you live close or are in Eugene and you won't lose any plastic.

Cons:

Nothing really, might get a little crowded with the other park users on sunny days but they're done a nice job designing a course working with the somewhat limited space and layout of the park.

Other Thoughts:

Although nothing to get really excited about about, I've enjoyed playing there a few times while visiting friends in Eugene, the land of the world's uglist football uniforms!
