Default Sah-Hah-Lee Golf Course
I heard from Jeff Elliot that this ball golf course on highway 212/224 between Oregon City and Estacada is putting in two 18 hole DG courses.

Anyone else hear anything about this? Apparently they were at last week's Stumptown meeting and have discussed this extensively with Brian from Next Adventure.

Sounds very promising.

Curious lack of a "Find Us" link on their Web site: http://www.sah-hah-lee.com/

So here's a map: http://maps.google.com/maps?oi=map&q=45.398361%2C-122.529458%20%28Sah-Hah-Lee%29


It'd be truly awesome if they had some unused forested land around the edges that they could make into a DG course. But, looking at the aerial photo, it looks like they'd have to put it on the ball golf course. While it'd be nice to finally get SOMETHING in Northern Clackamas County, I'm underwhelmed by this possibility. The good news is, it's a par-3 "executive" course, which is certainly better suited to a disc golf overlay than a big course.

A big ball golf course does not make for a good disc golf course? Explain....

Oakway sure was a lot of fun....

They were NOT at last weeks Stumptown meeting. I have heard nothing about this.

I thought Oakway didn't sound like any fun at all. Seriously. Too open and definitely too long. Neither I nor any of my friends ever had any desire to go down there.

This is great news for the Milwaukie/Gladstone/Oregon City folks.

I used to play there, back when I swung the sticks. If they do it right it could be a real nice course or two.

Skyline has done a great job of combining ball and disc golf on one course with very little interferance between the two.

What was the final answer on why disc golf was pulled from Oakway?

I am afraid that if you never even played Oakway; that you are not qualified to speculate on what does and does not make a ball golf course good for disc golf! I can list many more players than "you and your friends" that enjoyed Oakway IMMENSELY!

I'm sure they did. But we don't like spending significant money to play wide-open courses with multiple 500'+ holes. Honestly, I don't really enjoy McIver more than once or twice a year either.

Geez, obviously this is all 100% in the realm of opinion.


However, I do think it should be pointed out that the relatively small number of players who can really appreciate a pay-for-play massively long disc golf course just might not be enough to sustain the idea economically -- if it interferes with the ball-golf business, that is.

Not sure how pay to play will work there.
They want $7 just to play the miniature 18 hole golf course.

That is pretty much the going rate for putt putt these days.

So, can what it was about Oakway that was so good be put into disc golf terms? Just curious.

I'm intrigued. Once in a while, Eric and I will play a round of ball golf at Sah-hah-Lee and then head out to Timber. Makes for a fun day. It's a beautiful course and I think disc golf would be a nice addition if they do it well. I'd sure check it out.

We love Skyline - just wish it weren't such a long drive. Having something like it 15 minutes from our house would be pretty damn sweet.

Where are you getting your numbers? For one, Oakway was not "massively long". For two, how do you know there are not hordes of disc golfers dying to pay to play on longer, more manicured courses? And when done properly, disc golf need not reduce a ball golf course's business, it can INCREASE their business.

OK, now I think you have truly lost everyone. It's going to be a tough case for you after a qualification like that....

I enjoyed oakway
but would not have payed ball golf prices to play there though
great tournament layout
if i'm going to pay the price then i will play ball golf
too bad you couldn't both at the same time for the price of one
the owner of the golf course right out of town had ideas untill he talked to me
i told him that i thought very few people would pay 15.00 to 20.00 bones to play when we have so many great free courses
