In the top 3 course of my entire lifetime. Might be #1. Probably is. What are my other 2? Milo McIver, in Estacada, near Portland, OR, and Ewing Park in Des Moines, Iowa. Honorable mention: DeLaVeaga in Santa Cruz, CA.

Incredible course. Now it's 27 holes, with concrete tees. I have been playing it since back in its 18-tone-pole days.

It's got it all: wooded holes, varied topography, manicured holes, steep uphill and downhill holes. Incredible scenery, with the North Umpqua river flowing by on all sides of the park, in a the 270+ degree horseshoe shape. Great camping (river views, yurts, power, showers, flush toilets). Biking, hiking, fishing, swimming, floating, picnicking; an endless list of activities.

The 800-foot (?) signature Top of World hole dwarfs all others (well, maybe not Crystal Mountain Ski Area - I have seen and thrown shots so far there that they disappeared from sight while still in flight). And I even aced it, from the upper tee pad (Super Top) during a PDGA tourney, with my best playing partner on my card! (With a max weight Discraft ESP Surge, righty backhand, on a frozen rope, in case you were wondering.)

The park recently removed the day use pay stations, so now it's free to play again - woohoo!

Simply epic and outstanding. One of the best disc golf courses I have ever played. Epic. Everything you could possibly desire. Elevation, tight woods shots, super long holes, wide open long drives. Every shot you think you’ve mastered you will use here. Also, this course can be jammed with people and you’ll never feel stepped on. Whoever designed this is a genius.
Very highly recommended.

Starting out this course was awesome. In the woods for the first 10 holes. It looked like holes 2 and 3 were redesigned and they are fantastic. But then the rest of the holes 11 through 18 didn't do it for me. except hole 17 which is their version of "Top of the world." There were no yardage on most holes. It's still an enjoyable course to play.

Thought I was going to play Oregons best disc golf course. After playing it our group came to the conclusion it is not Oregons best. The first part of the course is meh. When you break out and can see the river it gets fun. The top of the world shot was ok but a novelty shot at best. I do want to go back and play here but would not make a special trip to do so. One sentance review. Nice view good not great course.

Not many cons you can say about this course. Amazing elevation changes, along with great tee pads and signs. Amazing layout with good mix of long and accurate shots. It's a fair course you hit your lines you will shoot good. Plus the top of the world one of the most memorable holes you will play. Only thing is with the new layout you have a couple long walkouts. One of the best courses Oregon has to offer!

Absolutely everything you could want out of a disc golf course. Every type of shot, great use of terrain and natural obstacles. The only suggestion I could offer would be covered benches at every hole (we got caught in a down pour). Just kidding, this is easily a top course in the state. I haven't played Milo, but it can't be much better than this. I will be coming back for sure.

Cant really say a bad thing about this course. While camping there I played the course 4 times in 4 days. And twice, the pin location changed on different holes overnight. Well done out there guys. A local even called me while I was camping and returned my lost disc on Top of the World. Props again. I will be making another trip down there to take down that beast of a course.

Bring all your shots for this one, especially if you are lucky enough to get to play the 27 hole tournament layout like i was! A must play course for sure. Being a player from utah, Hole 14 is not as epic as I had hoped, so if you play a lot of mountain golf like me it may disappoint just a bit. This course is so much fun to play, and I can't wait to be back! Try not to lose your discs over the cliff!

Lovely place to put a DGC. Many terrain changes, in the woods and out, with lots of blind up, down, and close to a ravine shots. Lost 2 discs my first time there. Holes 1 - 15 and 17 are great. Th ... show more ›

Lovely place to put a DGC. Many terrain changes, in the woods and out, with lots of blind up, down, and close to a ravine shots. Lost 2 discs my first time there. Holes 1 - 15 and 17 are great. The only downside from making the course perfect are holes 16 and especially 18. Many of the other holes (9 throwing down a hill close to the cliff to the Umpqua & 14 the top of the world) are real picturesque and mind blowing that 18 is just a buzz kill. That said, it's top 3 in the courses I've played (Milo, WB, Dexter, Adair, and Bryant).

This course is got to be the most beautiful one in the state of Oregon by far. The first 7 or 8 holes are inside the trees, but there no reason you shouldn't make par or birdie them. The last 10-12 holes are mostly out in the open with long drives. The top of the world on hole 14 is quite the hike straight up to the top of the hill, while throwing to 13 half way up it. could of finished at +1 but missed a two birdie attempts the last one being on 17. I can't wait to come down and play this course a few more times threw on a weekend. Meet two local guys that put on all the events at Whistler's Bend and are a couple of great guys. Hope to play in the doubles event down there next month.

This is definitely one of my favorite courses I've ever played. There is a fantastic level of variation between the holes, from being in the midst of a forest to being beside a cliff, to an awesome top-of-the-world hole. This course has it all.

Why I'm giving this course an A instead of an A+ is that the challenge level is a little low. There are a few challenging holes, but this is definitely one of the easier 18 hole courses I've played. Still a fantastic place though.

The BEST course in Oregon. It has everything. Good combo of long and short, open and technical holes. Plenty of elevation change. It is cleared of most of its underbrush. The weather is usually very good. What else more do you need? Oh yeah, when it's hot, you get to do a great 40min float in between rounds and you can camp there! If you love disc golf, then you need to play this place. And it's free!

this place is way epic and worth checking out for sure hole #14 is on top of the world and an amazing shot down hill the view is awesome the river is the sh@t and the camping looks awesome there its really hot there right now but in the winter i bet its real fun here...there is a lot of different pin placements for all kinds of shots rollers,tomahawk,thump'r,backhand,lefty and right handed people it has it all :)~

Probably in the top 5 courses in Oregon. The teepads, the signage, and the pin placements are all top notch. Very easy to follow the course and it has it all, ultra long bombs, down to the technical tree stuff. Follow a local around to see some crazy routes! The cherry on top is hole 14 "Top of the World" 600+ feet from the top of a huge hill! They even make the walk up "fun" by placing hole 13 on the way up the hill.

Add camping onsite and you have a great disc golf vacation!

I envy those who live around here. This course is a real treat. First 9 wooded second 9 open. The top-of-the-mountain hole #14 wins the most epic award. Definitely worth the trip out here esp when there's camping/hotsprings(well, they're a ways down the 138)/huge Umpqua river so close! Bring your A-game cuz some of these holes are looong!

This was a great course. The first part of it runs you through the trees. The thing is that they give you a nice corridor, but if you shoot if off....dang, it get's thick. Once you get to 9 or 10 (can't remember), the view of the river and the mountains around are a site to see. I tossed a Valkyrie on the 725ft #14 and I tell you, it was a sight to see; the disc just seems to go forever and I parked it about 40 feet away. Great course and I would play it again anytime!

my favorite course of all time. its the greatest long short it got it all. and the top of the world hole is .... no words for it . your first 7 holes are in the trees. then you come out to these lovely green fairways tell hole 13 then its up up up you go to the top of the world hole 14. 800+ feet and 175 up. and there is camping right next to the course in big trees like pier park and the Umpqua river flows around the whole place.
