Pros: The brand new (June 2019) Raptor's Knoll DGP In Langley, British Columbia is just about a mile from the U.S. border crossing at Sumas and right across the street from the Langley Transfer Station, which I think is Canadian for garbage dump. There is a nice, new parking lot here.
All right. I'll just come out and say it. This park smells homeless. It smells like it passed out drunk, peed its pants, and then walked around in the hot California sun for three days just letting it dry and fester. I don't exactly know why that is. Sure there were homeless people on three of the holes. But I've played courses that were worse. I even walked my dog through a Seattle course once where he found a thong on the ground, sniffed it, and jumped like I'd kicked him. I hadn't kicked him. But I've never been to a park that smelled like this. It almost took away from the enjoyment. Almost. You should still stretch your legs out here and get a quick round in though if you're in the area...
I had him unofficially at 2-under - I would probably be reasonably happy with that on that course, from the looks of it
*leaves to go look up the course*
I play with a guy who does that. He just always forgets to take it off. I used to remind him and he would take it off, but now I just let him go.I need to start driving with my bag still over my shoulder. Looks like a time-saver...
Maybe not. A lot of the holes are under 200' according to reviews.

...I will play bag on. ...With a carabiner on a belt loop to clip it in its barely noticeable.
https://www.dgcoursereview.com/reviews.php?id=507&mode=rev#81457One theme runs through every course I've given a 5.0 rating: you can't stop replaying the holes in your head. You think about the long grass rough when you mow your lawn. You think about the narrow fairways when you're in a tight hallway. You think about the dog legs when your puppy is upside down next to you on the couch. You think about the safe landing strips when...well, never mind.
I'm not even a drinker and would have to think any beer sold on site is worth at least a half point, no?...Pros: Great landscape and views. Beer sold on site.
Cons: No tee pads at all, not even a sign to mark where you should tee off on most holes. Worst baskets possible. One basket was broken in half. With all that land I don't understand why most baskets are near the edge of the property where the rough is very thick.
Other Thoughts: Not to be a jerk about the place, but the bartender wasnt friendly, the beer was average and the course was a big let down. If you are a disc golfer you wont like this course at all, so don't bother. I saw it had a 3 star rating and that is not accurate, so I'm putting in my 2 cents.

5 STAR REVIEWER: There is absolutely nothing that could be done to improve the course. It is perfect in every possible way.
ME: Does it have a bar?
5 STAR REVIEWER: no.
ME: Then it is not perfect in every possible way.
joking aside, i raised my review score for New World and Rolling Ridge both 0.07 rating points for the bar. sometimes i need aiming fluid.
Beaver Dick Park started out a little soft, but holes tightened up and the round built to a reasonably satisfying climax. The course is well trimmed but some may find the lack of length unsatisfying.,
