Nicest course in OR? - Disc Golf

RallySoob · #1 June 4th, 2009, 01:04 PM

Question to those who have played most of the courses in Oregon.... Which is the 'Nicest' Course as far as scenery/baskets/tee's go? Not so much interested in what is the hardest, most challenging or anything along those lines. From the reviews I found that Whistler in Roseburg looks to be really nice, suggestions?

Consensus generally seems to be Whistler's Bend, but you will get several other courses with multiple proponents.

Willamette Pass is a really unique and fun set up.

great answer right there... Whistlers is my home course, and i too would agree that Milo has the best "GOLF" out there.

ASIDE from my opinion on this... we are in the process of getting several projects approved by the county and hope to making some much needed upgrades to Whistlers Bend in the near future.

I vote for Whistler's Bend, no question. McIver's scenery doesn't come close.

Hagg Lake has beautiful scenery, but the course itself is anything but "nice."

cool thanks for the input. We're headed to Whistlers Bend this weekend. I Plan on hitting up a course in corvallis and Eugene on the way or way back too.

Just a heads up - there is a rather large doubles tourney going on at Whistler's this weekend. Friday, Saturday, and Sunday...

And by rather large she means several hundred people!

Trojan is also very nice. Good baskets and pads, well maintained, and surprisingly beautiful.

But also full of goose poop and 3-inch-deep mud.

Also, is it skeeter season yet? I remember we went to play there around this time last year, and cut our round short they were so intense. It IS a sweet course though, when conditions cooperate, and not too far from one of the best courses in WA.

Ms Thing · #15 June 5th, 2009, 12:56 PM

Trojan was really great last weekend. It has dried out really well (we did skip 9-12, not enough time) and the skeeters were not bad. The only time I got bit was when we were searching in the bushes, I did not see any out on the fairways.

There is also not much that can compare to the Lucky Mud for beauty, it is under an hour away from Trojan.

You are obviously referring to the course keeper, Ol' Bob.

The views at Sorosis are pretty nice too....

Doesn't Benson look right at Multnomah falls? That's the best scenery, and by far the worst course! Rooster rock has naked people with in walking distance. Depending who's out, there might be some great scenery.

It's just west of M. Falls. I don't think you can see them, but there is another falls that you can see. Very beautiful.

Not the worst course. It all depends on what you're looking for. If you want a Milo experience then yeah, you'll be disappointed. If you are taking a new player with you, want a quick stop off the freeway (takes 10-15 minutes to play 9), or want to work on your approach game with your putter then it is a good course.

Don't hate something for what it is not; love it for what it is!

That isn't hating. Benson is one of the worst courses around if you are at all serious about playing disc golf. There is not much to love about that course.
