Let me start with the most important aspect first, player safety. Hole 14 the sign in to the front flight of the tee box in the follow through area. This should never happen when designing a course. Our son hit the sign on his follow-through. We had to end our round and make a trip to urgent care to get an x-ray and have cuts on 3 of his fingers attended to. Luckily he did not break anything but his had is injured and he was not able to play anymore on our trip. Other safety issues include significant tears and damaged turf on the tee boxes that are trip hazards. The course is in a senic area with good views however the tee boxes and targets are poorly placed on most holes to enjoy the view. Virtually all of the targets are not level either. Safety, course design, and player expirence seem have not been considered. There were some nice elevation changes but overall the expirence was not good. Trying to be as subjective as possible but its hard to when you leave a course injured, have your opertunity to play other courses round and end up with a significant medical bill due to poor design. Will be contacting owner.

Beautiful scenery and great amenities! But very boring course. Watch a couple years of Portland Open to see how to design a disc golf course on a ball golf course. There are a LOT of opportunities for improvement on this really nice property.
