Sadly Disc Golf doesn't rank very high on the college's priorities list. However this past spring a college student was able to do a school project and completely redesign the course. There is now 20 holes that can challenge you. Multiple holes have Mando's and concrete sidewalk OB in play to increase the challenge. The Local Club runs a great Bag Tag league April-Sept on Tuesday nights and a fun Glow league Sept-November.. The course still needs new tee signs but the UDisc App gives you a great way to follow the course find tee pads and learn the rules/OB that the local club has put in place.

Pros: well maintained course
trash cans & cigarette butt containers provided
open to the public
flows very well
beautiful plateau's surround the city/campus
friendly locals/students/facility members
beginner friendly, has a few challenging holes
great new dga mach baskets
hole signs with hole lengths provided
many resting spots IE tables/benches provided
restrooms available in many campus buildings

Cons: tee boxes are wood chip and in poor condition
basket locations are almost always next to paths
many buildings & other structures come into play
small town & not many know what disc golf is
nearest course is 99 miles away

Other Thoughts: all in all its a fun little nine w/ an average of 200-250 ft holes it flows very well and its a neat setup that guides you throughout the campus offering both simple and challenging holes.

its great for beginners, campus students, and the folks from the small town of La Grande to be able to have something to do.

i wouldn't recommend driving a long distance to play the course, how ever if you happen to find yourself in the city of La Grande and want to bang out a few quick nines then this is the only established public discgolf course out their

locals talk of mountain lion and bears that have been known to come out during day and night and walk the streets of the 12400 populated town. (i didn't see any while there).

after my friend mary did some research on the local d-golf community she was able to hunt down a "Bird feeder shop" that sells disc's... they had both innova and discraft in decent selections... as well as a few ching discs and even some wheels (that funky roller disc i believe by whamo) a few bags and phoniex straps. all items were a tad over priced compared to Portland Or shop prices... but hey its a start in a small town in the middle of nowhere eastern oregon.

The store is called Bobolink located at 1102 Washington Ave. La Grande, Or 97850. Hours of operation Tue - Sat. 12 pm - 4 pm and by appointment. phone 541-963-2888

Trent Bray is the owner of the store and was kind enough to inform us of monthly tournys held at different locations using 18-21 port-a baskets and even talked of an old tone pole course near by. he was a very kind person and eager to talk about d-golf. so if your in this small town he's the man to know.
