Whistler was 18 holes for many years and I enjoyed every hole. Some very challenging 3 pars at about 500 feet. It still offers one of the most epic top of the world shots ever. The Umpqua River beckons for your disc on 2 holes. They took a few holes out for a campground, holes I enjoyed, then added more to make it 27. Most of the new holes just don't do it for me. Don't get me wrong, Whistler is still a great course, but I rarely make the 2 hour drive anymore. We have more fun at Taloali, Serene, Dallas, Dexter, and Twisted Pines. And, if you can get to Paradise in Creswell, do it. It's a fun and unique course, though private. I know the owners very well. I could put in a good word for you. I'll just have to trust you, since I never met you, but I'm confident that you'll take good care of the property. Yeah, don't miss it, if you can squeeze it in. Also, about 12 miles south of Creswell, Cottage Grove offers a fun, challenging course. A little warning to you is that lots of people (like me) are quite affected by seasonal allergies from the prominent grass seed in the area, which usually peaks in June. It can get bad, but usually Claritin and washing it off before bed will help a lot. Hopefully this won't affect you or Mrs. Wolf Haley. Me, I routinely get out of the area in June and go to work at courses in other states.Just curious why Whistler's isn't what it used to be? Or more precisely why? was there a redesign on some of the holes for some reason? I hadn't ever really researched it before the last 6 months or so.
Taloali and Serene both look incredible. Ideally I'd like to play both of these. That's good to hear that they're open most of the time. Those will be two that I'll have to figure out when it gets closer.
Always great to get the perspective of another course bagger too I'll have probably hit 1000 just before this trip. My wife will most likely hit 1000 in Oregon though as she's about 20 behind me. I'm kind of jealous.
