The Course is Fun for sure... Tee's need to be done right with Pads and Sign's... They Mowed as we were leaving... No need for Big Drivers here... only one Hole over 200' I think?

I love this little course! Every shot is a pretty tight window, even if it's not very long...it's still challenging. The grass was too long, but they were mowing during our final round, that will bring the "skip" into play. Every basket is reachable on the drive, and the placement of baskets is very good. Better pads would be good, but since you don't really need to "wind up" on your drives, it's not too bad. A great place to spend the day with your bbq and fishing pole.

Very short pins...small but scenic park.
Dirt and bark dust tees.One of the baskets was bent up really bad,looked as though a tree fell over on it....Quik fun lil warm up before rooster.

THEY FINALLY FIXED BENSON! the new layout is so much better, and plays like it should have, looks as if it will be PLAYABLE during summer when the picnickers arrive. Short course, but not silly short like it used to be, lots of easy ace runs and short holes allow you to use a variety of shots that you might not normally use off the teepad. Benson is a fun course!

you have to be dead on the basket for your putts to go in. real short holes

Uneven tees, few course markers (not really a problem since the course is so short and the flow is logical). Flat, but enough tree cover to make shots interesting. Not worth the drive for 9 holes, but if you're in the area anyway it's worth a stop. As the Ace Race proved, this whole course can be played with a putter with good results.

A SHORT course...but surprisingly fun with some interesting shots. Nothing too technically spectacular mind you...but enough to keep you from tossing your putter/heavy mid in a hyzer at the basket.
In the winter/spring there is a nice water fall on the bluff behind the park; makes for good picknicking.

Fun short course right off of i-84. First tee is directly across from where you pay the State Park fee. Very windy area adds some difficulty, along with low ceilings. Dirt Teepads. .

Great ace run course. Good warm up for cascade locks, but not a destination spot.

Fun,short and technical drives at every hole. Great basket placement with tree's aplenty. If you get tired of disc golfing,grab your fishing pole and hit the fishing hole. I-84 makes it a bit noisy but a fun course.

Well its a pitch and put fun little course but getting into park is a little on the shitty side !

Benson is a real fun pitch and putt 9 hole course. Nothing to technical but there are still enough trees to keep things interesting. This park is a great family park with picnic areas and fishing also. If they put Tee signs and pads in, I would easly rate this an A+ for what the course is, A PITCH AND PUTT.

Benson is an alright park...the course was pretty short. They didn't have actual tee pads, just some wood chips in a hole with a railroad ties for the head of the tee. The nice thing about this park is that they have part of the basket painted yellow so its easier to see. The holes are relatively short compared to the other parks that I have been to.
It is close to I-84 so that can be a bit annoying and the only way to access the part is to head east bound on 84 and then you have to get back on ...

The East 9 isn't as hard as everyone makes it out to be. Just take your time and go with the flow.
