I have been thinking for a while that the area on the other side of West Union (Emerald Estate Park, Bethany Meadows Park, Ben Graf Park and Springville Meadows Park) would make a great area for a course. The park is not overflowing with joggers or walkers. It has some very nice elevation with a nice mix of open fairways, trees and a creek with bushes. There is plenty of room for 9 or even 18 hole course with some long fairways. The only downside is there is not a lot of parking areas. With very little work the area could be another nice course for the west side of Portland. There is a need for something a little more challenging than Orchard and Greenway and it would relieve some of the current crowding at those two courses. THPRD has been putting a lot of money in the parks in this part of town and it would be nice addition, especially if they could link it up with the PCC athletic complex.

That place is LITERALLY in my backyard!
I have thrown there for fun up and down the black path but sadly no baskets (yet)
