there is a b-tier this weekend if your gonna go play whistlers. but if your not into that you could play riverfront in roseburg (not grants pass that's riverside). its a tightly wooded 18 holer with 18 mach twos. whistlers is a course you dont wanna miss. i would say skip tom pearce and riverside and go for selmac and whistlers.

I'm headed to Whistler's Bend right now, then Riverfront Park and possibly greenoaks today. Tomorrow is looking like Horning's Hideout and Mcmenemans Grand Lodge.

Too late! It's ok it's a crappy little course but it wasn't a far drive, it was on the way anyway but thanks for the warning as late as it may be.

On the way to Horning's Hideout, Orchard Park and Mcmenamins Grand Lodge Today. Unfortunatly I'm not going to be able to do anything else after these today as we have other things that need to be taken care of tomorrow.

I probably wouldn't bother with Grand Lodge, unless you're either staying there or also planning to go to Hagg Lake. Use up your arm at Horning's.

Hey you silly sillybizz you, I realize that you were wanting to play some of the better courses in Oregon and if I had the chance I would have definately advised you to NOT play Green Oaks.
It's one of those parks where dger's ran out the not so wanted types that used to frequent there.
Something you prolly didn't know is most of the kids (8-12 year olds) who play there think their course is pretty cool.
The main reason is that ....... it is better than no course at all.
No personal attack meant here just sticking up for disc golf.
Heck we still play ribboned tree courses down south here.
IMO there are no crappy courses, some are only better.
You may not want to play Whistlers because the same fella designed Green Oaks and Whistlers.

I shouldn't have used the word crappy, I should of used something like short and good for begineers but not for serious players. I wasn't expecting much, it was just right where we were headed anyway so we thought we could take 20 minutes and check it out. If I lived within walking distance I would practice there. Horning's is the best destination in Oregon hands down and the longer course I like even better than Whistler's. Couldn't get to the grand lodge they were having an outdoor music festival of some sort. I so didn't want to leave today, I love Oregon the courses are so great!

yeah I can see waking up to those peacocks with a hangover and not liking that at all. The peacocks are so beautiful as was the rest of the course(s) there. Next time I am camping there and playing some night golf on the short course, that is so awesome they have the lights built right onto the top of the baskets! They are almost done with the other 18 holer there so you get 3 wonderful courses right at your camp spot! And what's for lunch? Fresh caught trout!

The more I think about, the more I think you are correct in that Horning's is maybe oregon's finest...Just because of the location, the beauty, the vibe...

couple new posts from bob horning this morning...the third course is coming along quick, quick...and real tee pads and everything...

come back soon!!
