Wilder DGC

Although my score does not show it, I had a lot of fun at this course. It is set in the middle of old growth forest. I had played it once before in the fall and to be honest, the course had changed quite a bit over 5 months. Being on the beach, wind is a factor. So much a factor that downed trees destroyed hole 9 tee pad and almost took out the basket as well. It is quite the workout while playing. Lots of opportunity to throw your disc down the back side of a ravine. This course was opened ...

Although my score does not show it, I had a lot of fun at this course. It is set in the middle of old growth forest. I had played it once before in the fall and to be honest, the course had changed quite a bit over 5 months. Being on the beach, wind is a factor. So much a factor that downed trees destroyed hole 9 tee pad and almost took out the basket as well. It is quite the workout while playing. Lots of opportunity to throw your disc down the back side of a ravine. This course was opened in 2012 and still has lots of room for growth. The tee boxes are gravel and bark chips. All baskets are new innova baskets. There is a practice basket right when you walk up to the course. I played with one other buddy and our girlfriends. And to be quite honest the girlfriends were helpful, being spotters. There is a lot of undergrowth and such on this course. Make sure you wear pants and shoes that have plenty of grip because your basically hiking and throwing discs. Loved the course and will keep playing it every time I go to that area of Oregon beach.

Course cut out of coastal vegetation featuring woods and ravines. This kind of reminded me of a baby LLStubb. These types of courses are not my thing. I feel this type of course changes the focus from scoring to being cautious so you don't lose plastic. Even being cautious is no guarantee of seeing your disc again as small errors are severely punished. J asked me to rethink my review but I think I was being generous with a C since C is average. Good pads and baskets just isn't enough to ra ...

Even being cautious is no guarantee of seeing your disc again as small errors are severely punished. J asked me to rethink my review but I think I was being generous with a C since C is average. Good pads and baskets just isn't enough to raise the grade. What kills this course for me is a spotter is mandatory you would never play this course solo. Throwing into the green oblivion and looking for discs. If you like this style of course it would be an A for you. On a personal level I would give it an D. Maybe in a few years it will get cleared out enough to be more fun.

Update 3/2015- The local club hit 20 participants for our first tag match 2 weeks back and we were missing at least 4 locals. Course looks and plays different with a lot of hacking, clearing, and just beating in. Still a WILD course that is a blast to play. We play every Sunday at 11. You'll lose plastic and you'll have to think about your shots. Coastal sea breeze will make some 3's a 4 and sometimes 4's into easy 2's. A very rewarding course that keeps getting better.

Update 4/2014- The course is much more beat in. Still not an easy course by any means and rewarding for group play and for Disc Golf Games (wolf, ript/revenge, doubles/triples). The local club is growing and making improvements as we can.

I've heard people describe some of the lesser courses in Oregon as "kinda like walking through the park while throwing a frisbee"; while true in some cases (some of the Portland 9 holers), it is certainly not the case here. Wilder is WILD. Heavy underbrush that will eat your disc and keep your distance down. Ravines are real and everywhere. I was by myself and only lost 1 disc but had to hike to the bottom for 2. Took me three and a half hours to do a round. A few of these holes and ravines that accompany them are scary (all the downed trees on 8 and 9) but if you're into the wilderness side of disc golf this is a great course to take some like minded players to. NOT A BEGINNER COURSE. Lots of potential but would need a very dedicated group to get it up and running smooth (if you are part of or would like to be part of such a group let me know. This is now my new home course!).

Awesome course. Like a cross between stub steward and the eastside of rooster rock. It is in an awesome coastal forest. Looks like the woods with the talking trees from the lord of the rings. Super rough on this course. Everytime you let a disc go, theres a chance no human being will ever see it again. The rough is deceptive from the tee pads. You'll throw your drive and think to yourself, "ok should be about 20 ft from the basket in that little 1ft high scrub". You get to where you think your d ...

You'll throw your drive and think to yourself, "ok should be about 20 ft from the basket in that little 1ft high scrub". You get to where you think your disc is at, and the 1ft scrub is now 8 ft tall and looking for a fight. If trees where gang members, you'd need an ak-47 and a do rag to play this course. One guy on my card had an awesome drive on hole 7 or 8, we all though he would be parked. Get to the blind basket, and there is a 300 ft canyon 4 ft behind the basket. Better chance finding a 12 point buck at the bottom of the canyon then his disc. Awesome course, just leave the 1st run plastic at home.
