Sadly Disc Golf doesn't rank very high on the college's priorities list. The Local club expanded the course to a full 18 holes 3 years ago but are not allowed to help maintain the course. So now Holes 1-8 (the new holes) are basically unplayable. There is also construction on Hole 12, so the teepad and sign is missing. making it a 9-10 hole course if you just pick a spot to throw from. It's a place to play and it can be made challenging by making all concrete sidewalks OB. When school is in ...

Sadly Disc Golf doesn't rank very high on the college's priorities list. The Local club expanded the course to a full 18 holes 3 years ago but are not allowed to help maintain the course. So now Holes 1-8 (the new holes) are basically unplayable. There is also construction on Hole 12, so the teepad and sign is missing. making it a 9-10 hole course if you just pick a spot to throw from. It's a place to play and it can be made challenging by making all concrete sidewalks OB. When school is in session it's not the easiest course to play because the football team uses a practice field that takes away Holes 9,10,11 as well making it basically a 7 hole course. My suggestion if you find yourself in the area and want to throw disc. Join the LaGrande/Eastern Oregon Facebook page and find a local to come show you some Alt pin locations or keep driving another 45 minutes and play McKay Park in Pendleton.

*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.
