Solid High Desert Course With Two Baskets For Each Hole! 2+ years

Reviewed: Played on:Jun 18, 2018 Played the course:once

Pros:

The Dry Canyon Disc Course starts next to the small dog (35 lbs. and lighter) park and then plays behind the large dog park (monsters). The terrain is high desert with small trees and lots of scrub brush which is fairly thick in places. There is a kiosk at the beginning with a course map and a list of the course supporters. Also a picnic table and a donation box. There is a practice basket here, too. The tee pads are nice sized concrete. The signs are small but give you the information you need.

There are two baskets at each hole, one silver and one yellow Discatcher. As previous reviewer JerichoBroncho stated, I wasn't exactly sure what was going on with these. On # 1, the two baskets seemed to be almost the same exact distance, only one on the right and one on the left. Then I thought that the yellow Discatcher was always the longer so I was playing the yellows. But then on # 7, the silver basket was 50 to 60' longer and now, I had no clue as to what was going on here.

Playing the yellows (Maybe?) most holes seemed to be between 300' and 400'. Most were pretty similar, straight with the basket somehow hidden or placed in the Pines somehow. # 5 and 6 felt like the same hole to me. I would have liked to see some variety with the yellows, maybe a 200' Ace run followed by a 500' bomb.

Cons:

Confusing and inconsistent placement of the yellow Discatcher holes.

Lack of variety.

Desert terrain with Sagebrush and other scrub is not the greatest.

Mostly flat.

Would be hot and dusty on some of the hot days here although I had to take cover under the Pines for a brief summer shower. It nicely cooled everything down like watering the infield before a baseball game.

Other Thoughts:

+ This is a solid course. I don't know that adding the second set of baskets was too well thought out. Initially it was confusing for me but then you just end up questioning the plan. If I was a local, I'd play here and I'd also try and get involved and rectify the confusing yellow basket situation.

So they have added a 2nd set of baskets to the course, you just use the same tee pad. Sounds great right? Except that they put them at the same distance as the first baskets! (for the most part) So instead of a 400" hyzer you have a 400" hzyer to a basket 100" away. Absolutely no thought went into this. The people who set this up have 400+" arms. How do I know because most of the course is set up for that. They had a real chance to change the course, put in shorter more technical shots and they blew it. Really disappointed with the lack of imagination in the 2nd 9 holes added. Holes 2 + 8 were the only good additions.

I enjoyed the course. Nice little 9 holer. I don't think it would be very difficult for an experience disc golfer. All par 3's nothing very long. No holes stood out to me as great holes by the end. Very basic course.

Really need to find a way to clean up some of that underbrush, shouldn't have to search for disc on each hole even when you throw down the middle.

If you live in the area the course would be a great place to work on your skills. It wouldn't be worth a long drive just to play this though. If you are staying in the Bend area and hitting the courses in the area, I would put this one on your list to play.

2+ years drive by

Reviewed: Played on:Jan 19, 2013 Played the course:2-4 times

Pros:

Layout is pretty easy to follow. 4x4 posts mark each teepad, which helps because they would otherwise be impossible to see with the sagebrush.

Cons:

Mostly flat... I like a little more uphill/downhill when playing.

Other Thoughts:

Good for any level up to intermediate.
