I've attached two versions of the current suggested course layout, a satellite version mapping the course onto the currently-proposed area, and an aerial photo version. As well as having tested most of this layout, I took some inspiration from the original 2009 Feldberg et. al. layout for an 18-hole course for the park. Just to quickly sum up the layout: it's a white-level (Recreational) Par-27 course layout, with about the best mix of right/left, wooded/open, and guarded basket/restricted line holes I could come up with, given the space provided for the course. All holes are between 240 and 410ft.

At the earliest, the course could be installed sometime after Summer 2012. Here is the response I received from Willamalane on the topic:

Currently, we do not have a specific timeline. We will have a lot of construction going on this summer for the new boat ramp and expanded parking lot, which may create some congestion and limit use of the parking lot near the ramp. Until this project is complete, we do not have enough infrastructure to handle adding more park uses, such as disc golf or archery.

Great job Jesse! The maps make the space look a little more interesting for a course. Here's to hoping we can get some golfing at Clearwater in 2012!
