Holy Toledo, you are missing out!
There are a ton of courses that are in oregon that would make orchard or wortman's seem like a 3 hole course... heh... well Pier, Dabney, Trojan, Milo, Timber, Bryant, Adiar, Willamette, Tadmor, Dexter, Whistler's just to name a few....

Milo then Whistler's then Dexter for Oregon courses. I've played a few comparable courses in WA, but not often enough to be able to accurately rank them.

Easton, MA

This park is a long 18 with white/blue tees as well as white/blue baskets in place all the time. with 72 possible holes combos everyday, no one gets bored. The setting is an old stone manor property which covers four town borders hence "Borderland". Highlights include a Stone mansion, Open fields for drives, dedicated practice basket, manicured gardens, benches, streams, open water.... to look at, and challenging glacial moraine terrain with rock outcroppings and tight broadleaf forest.

Lots of amazing courses in Oregon also!!!!:yay::yay:

This thread should stir some more up...

For me, nothing like home sweet home - which would be to say Trojan and The Lucky Mud are by far and away my favorites. However, when inclined to travel a bit, nothing beats Whistler's Bend (also known by some as :whistler:'s Bend). Pier and Horning's round out the top 5. Milo would be #6.

As far as 9-hole courses go, I like what Leverich and Glenwood have going in Vancouver, WA.

Unfortunately, I am not well versed in northern WA or southern OR - or the east part of either state - courses. Drive, explore, huck, and enjoy.

WA- The one with the bed and breakfast (cant remember the name :blush: )
OH- Ohio Northern University
MI- Addison Oaks...although Hudson Mills(worlds 2000) runs a close 2nd, and its just down the road. That may also change once i play the Toboggan course but it seems to appear once a year for a short time (United States Amateur Disc golf Championship)

i was going to post my top 5 but ive decided i dont want to and that i have too many courses I have played and liked for so many reasons that its not fair.

however noone else has said my number 1 course and im kinda dissappointed it isnt on here yet. but im not listing it

March 23rd, 2009, 09:49 PM
what about the night course we threw together at the park between our apts? I actually preferred that course over Orchard, plus it was bigger!!!!

March 23rd, 2009, 10:04 PM
forgot about the Tiki course, and YES it ranks higher than Orchard. Even with the crazy dog lady "you know your not supposed to be here at night" hmmm can you say hypocrite?

Trozzle!!!
March 23rd, 2009, 10:18 PM
I still have a map of the course we set up and may be willing to do it again for those that may be interested. It is a night course only!!! And it is a city park and played after normal park hours, so we could always get kicked out.

I havent seen that crazy dog lady lately, she may be gone now.

gosh, i miss night golf.... I remember being in a league, monday nights. So cool... Middleton, MD... A nice course, during the day you could get -5 on a good day. My best there was first time doubles Night Golf, -8 and singles -2... Helps having to focus on a spot in the darkness... Trippy watching your spinning LED light taped to the bottom of your Champion Viking on its mysterious flight into the Dark. The long walk up to your disc, trying to make out where the basket is, thinking did I throw it hard enough, did I get it parked? Oh yes, 12 feet baby. Alright, focus on the dim outline of the basket, throw it in dude... yesss bird bro! I know a few times, i hit like a 40 footer and would have to look at the response of the other players cuz they could hear the chains, push me to check it out, run up, oh dang cool I made it...
anyways, back to the topic...

In no order

The Bend

De La

Honorable Mention:

Mt.Tabor,Hagg,Pier,Dexter,Stilly,the River course in Kenniwick,Swope.

And the temp.36 hole course in between Sisters and Eugene.......oh what a great course.......:shocked::bowing: :cheerleader: :jumpspin:

This is a fantastic thread, I love thinking about all my favorite courses I might play if I could go anywhere and had all the time.
The course I still feel is the best I've ever played would have to be lake Casitas near Ojai CA, that course was just too beautiful, and it helped that I parked their 500'+ top of the world hole to 5'.
Coming very very close, and my vote for best in OR would have to be Milo, followed by Whistlers, followed by my home course Pier. And to round out the top 5 I might have to pick my new home course in Tacoma Steilacoom, for all the crap it gets for being really confusing it's a really fun place to throw once you learn a few of the layouts, and I only know 4 of the 14 currently.

What about Wickam park in Hartford, CT--beautiful! Also Pyramids, Maple Hill, and Buffumsville Lake (27 holes w/pro tees off the dam)....but Borderland is great because of the terrain and combinations of tee/basket courses. I liked blue tees to white baskets best. Been 3 years since I was back there.:cheers:

Oh, almost forgot the MA course on Martha's vineyard...really cool. Can't decide my favorite course of all time, but Enman field in ME, Maple Hill in MA, Wickam park in CT, Wickam park in FL, Oak grove in Pasedena & La Mirada, CA are my favorites across the country. For OR: I have to agree that Whistlers, Milo, Trojan, Adair are at the top of my list for beauty and challenge. I need to play Shasta, but Lava Launch (Mt. Bachelor) is my pick for most spectacular views. We are totally spoiled in OR!!!!
