This spot has a perfect mix of everything. Some super long open par 4 bombers, well placed OB, thick wooded holes, tunnel shots, ace runs, a bit of elevation. The grounds are always well manicured and cared for. Extra emenitites like bathrooms, river access, biking paths and nature trails. Access can be blocked just after a big storm the river can flood the entry road on the way in, but the course is well drained and doesn't ever get sloppy like nearby Champoeg.

This is my favorite course within 30 miles of Salem, Oregon. It just flows so well through the area and tests both your technical and distance skills. I love it and hate it at the same time but I'm always enjoying myself when I play here. I highly suggest playing with someone else so you have a spotter. It is easy to lose discs on about 1/2 the holes if you can't follow your line.

Tough course. Lots of variety, mixing wooded and open shots. Quite technical in many spots. Lots of trees, bushes on many of the holes. Some low canopy in spots. Quite a few 400+ holes, which can be tough too if you don't have a cannon arm. The baskets seem to be a bit low on most holes, and they're certainly not the best quality. This is a course I'll play again for sure.

I liked it a lot :) I see where things are in the grand scheme of things and it's only a matter of time before this becomes an "A" in my book! My only disappointment is the Amounts of Poison Oak as I am Extremely allergic and therefore I will not be back til winter... But that's just me and my personal issue... All in all this is a destination of destinations in the Disc Golf Courses of the N.W.

Great course loved the big holes giggity, and the technical ones made you earn ur birdies. Rewarded for good throws and punished for bad! Lots of friendly bounces mainly because the course is relatively flat and the grass is short. A lot of work was put in to make this beautiful 18 that's for sure. Will be back in the summer to see how the growth effects the holes. Well done pacwest it's an A in my book

When playable, this is a great hidden course! One thing keeping this from being an A is the constant flooding on the road leading to the course, which limits access during winter months...

As others have said, its a challenging course that forces you to use many different shot types with some creativity. Beautiful tunnel shots, open field shots, extreme dog legs, etc. A full length 18 hole course, its a fun and worthwhile trip for sure.

Getting to the next tee pad can be confusing, limited signage. Once that gets solved, its in the A range for sure, even with winter floods.

For my first time here I must say I really liked the course. Good distances to air it out, but most holes require accuracy off the tee box. Some neat hole designs, and a very cool/tough tunnel shot. This course can be challenging but not ridiculous. Needs up to date tee signs/par info for a couple holes, other then that not to many complaints in time could be a top notch course.

This course still has the new car smell. 1st class teepads and good signage. Blue Bentleys round out the course. Being new this course is pretty rough with lots of blackberries and poison oak. Open, technical long short you name it. Many holes feature sections of an old filbert orchard to shoot through or guard pins. When this course gets worn in and cleaned out a bit its an A. I also felt a few of the pars should have been swapped. Loooong hole in woods gets a 3 but an open long field shot a 4? You will see what I mean when you play it. I would go out of my way to play here again.

This course is a little rough for the first 7 even though there has been tons of work. The poison oak seems to be cut pretty short so watch your ankles. Most of that oak was within those first 7 holes. Plenty of variety of shots. As soon as this course has been in for a couple of years and starts to clean up it will be an A.

I've heard and read good things and bad things about this course. Finally got out and played a round with a coworker, I enjoyed playing the layout and will play it more in the future. Unfortunately vandals have removed some tee signs and walk out markers but was able to find all 18 holes in order. If you play the fairways, really no problems. Get off in the berry vines and crap you will lose your disc. Not a beginner course. Good job by PacWest, State Parks and all of the volunteers.

Finally managed to get a round in with some friends Saturday afternoon, and while the course did kick our butts, I love the course layout! We play Woodmansee a lot, and this is like a longer version of Woodmansee, with 18 original instead of a repeated 9.

Lots of variation, from short, heavily wooded shots to long, open-air bomb ranges. Every shot in your arsenal comes into play at some point. Didn't see too much garbage around the course, and only got a few mosquito bites between the four of us. No poison oak, either. Seems to be manicured well enough for my skill-level (mediocre amateur at best).

We did have trouble accepting the fact that the mando on #16 was the furthest tree straight out from the tee (a "Mando" sign by the tree would clear that up). The signage at the tee box looks like it's a 90-degree left around the tree to the basket, but it's more like a 115% turn, if that is the right tree.

Once better signage is in place between holes, this will be an A+ course in my book. Until then, print a map (http://www.discgolfscene.com/coursepictures/61305_l.jpg), and you'll have no trouble navigating the course.

I think this course brings things to the table that no other course in the Salem area has. Length, large tee pads, & some interesting shots. Yes I know is not finished & it is still rough in spots. But it is a course that is only about 1 month old. Soon there will be permanent tee signs, garbage cans, a kiosk, & permanent walk out signs. With these items and a year of play I believe this course can be rated even higher!

As of Sept. 2016 kiosk map, scorecards, and more work has been done. State made tee signs should be ready to install soon.

I was the first person to officially play the couse and I just went back a few weeks later to play it again. Even in the time between plays I can see how much work is being done on this course. Before I even played it, I was hoping the course design would incorporate the old filbert orchards into play. I was not disappointed. I love when people who play disc golf design a couse, and it is very evident here. Each hole is a little different from the next. The signiture hole will obviously be #12 in my mind as some have called it the tunnel hole. I look forward to the next time I play it and watch it continue to get better and better.

I feel like this could be a sweet course someday. good teepads is always a plus in my book. really grippy and nice. not sure if im a fan of the footfault zone since I always like to throw off the front part so it messed with my head. I felt like I kept throwing the same few shots. just either huge hyzers of straight up the gut shots. the par 4's are really easy to 3 in my opinion but very hard to 2. whoever designed this layout loves to throw big hyzer bombs and over the top shots. hole 12 is super awesome and one of my new favorite disc golf holes. forsure use as many spotters as you can because once your off the fairways on most holes your not liking life very much anymore. walkouts are semi confusing with multiple signs on some trails pointing in different directions and I belive its hole 8 you stepup to the teepad and can instantly see 3 different baskets that can be throw too off that teepad. I don't doubt that within a year or two this could be a pretty legit course.

This course is just awesome! Geared toward the intermediate to advanced player alike. The course has a lot of the variety lacking at other local courses, and will challenge you with every shot imaginable. This place can be thick, as stated, but as a new course it plays extremely well. Soon enough, there will be holes burrowed through the thick spots. Solid "B", soon to be an "A" after it breaks in a bit more.

Wheatland DGC has a good mix of technical and long open holes. This is exactly what this area needed. One course with a balanced layout and clever design that will last a lifetime. Don't expect this course to reach its best form soon as much work is needed to get it to reach its potential. As grass grows in fairways and edges of wooded areas get beat in it will only improve without loosing its difficulty. I predict this course will be a local favorate imdediately and will be drawing PDGA sanctioned events with in 3 years.

Now the Salem area has that course that requires all the shots and skills in your bag. Its in its infancy and needs to be beat in. Wide fairways with some pretty nasty rough. Like most courses down South, you will find poison oak. There are mosquitos. YOU LIVE IN OREGON!! Learn to recognize poison oak and avoid it. Bug spray people..bug spray for pesty mosquitos. I played the course and saw plenty of both. Got 1 mosquito bite and no poison oak. With proper signage, a few trash cans and some foot traffic this will quickly become a Destination Oregon Course. Great work by the small crew of determined locals have carved out a Gem In The Rough. Job well done!!!

I would like to note that people havent even played the course and are bitching and whining about rough fairways, bugs and poison oak. Like I said to Mike Wilson, "The people who bitch the loudest, have done nothing to improve or help to build this course." Get your complaining butts out to a few work crews and put in the right to bitch. Just my opinion.

This course fills the gap that was lacking in the Salem-Keizer area. Great course with plenty of length and a level of technically that will make you work on your placement shots. It will only get better as permanent signage is already in the works. As long as you stay out of the rough and in the fairway it is a very playable course as-is and was designed with the intermediate to advanced player in mind.

This course is awesome. Lots of variety. Wooded shots, open big arm shots, tunnel shot. It has them all. When you come out to play here remember it is a brand new course. If you get off the fairways it is rough. Definitely play with a spotter. And beware the curse of the Valley. Mosquitoes and poison oak. Just add to your arsenal Technu and Cutters. This is a bad year for both. The course shows what determined disc golfers can build when working with blackberries, thick brush and poison oak. It also represents that DGers and park users can all use the same facilities. Respect the park. Follow there rules. This will open the doors to future courses in more state parks.

always clearly shows when a DG course is made by DG'ers! this course is awesome with lots of room for improvements. meaning sooooo much area to work with for alt T`pads or pin locations, fairways more defined, couple holes are impossible to see the basket let alone run at it and of course the blackberry and poisin oak are thick as hell. although the course area is amazing with horse trails circling the course, cherrie trees, and filbert trees all through the course. the layout does give most holes backhand OR forehand routes toward the baskets, with a good mix of holes being runnable and couple holes just placement shot +placement shot +putt. I believe this course will be done wonders by foot traffic. you can never have enough trash cans mainly on the deeper part of the course.every course should have running spickets for water like here! huge props to STEVE MOORE, MIKE WILSON, ROGER STEPHENS, OF COURSE BRUSTER<I know your handy work when I see it> and the handful of others that made this course happen. ill be making the trip to play here a lot and happly spend the $5. its worth it.

Course is awsome keeping in mind that it is new and alittle rough. The difficulty level is just right. Not unreasonably difficult but not easy by any standard. Goodixture of holes long and short and doglegs both ways. My review will bump up to an A when there is a kiosk with a course map and legit tee sinage. And maybe afew trash cans through out the course. All things that i believe will soon be established.

What I like about this course is it makes a player use a varity of shots. Most courses you use 3 to 5 discs to play, this course forces a player to think and use around 8to10 discs per round. There has been some dramatic improvement to this course in the past two weeks. The rough on holes 2,4, 5,6 has been worked over nicely. Tee pads are totally completed so the trip hazards are gone. There is still some fresh poison oak popping up on holes 4, 5, & 6 in the fairways (the cockroach of invasive plants) which has been sprayed twice now, but still keeps coming up. The blanket of mosquitos is gone thankfully. Bring your A game if you wanna dominate this tough course. There is drinking water throughout the course and working bathrooms off hole 9
