Wortman Park

This course is easy to underestimate. There are no real long throws, but enough tree coverage to keep it difficult. Alot of the trees have low branches which makes it hard for any kind of high rought... and its febuary. Holes 3 and 8 are pretty muddy, but still playable. Tee 7 was confusing; the map seems to suggest a different location but its right by basket 6. Maps can be found on a wood fence kinda near Tee 1. Just follow the path torwards the parking lot and you will see them on a wood fenc ...

Just follow the path torwards the parking lot and you will see them on a wood fence near a gate. Decent amount of path ways but not to much civi traffic, and a little creek runs threw a couple of wholes, big enough to be out of bounds but not big enough to lose a disc. Over all its a good, medium size, technical course.

Public Relation's Officer for MVDSA. The Wortman course is getting bigger and better T-Pads when enough donations for concrete come in, and give thanks to the Scouts we now have T-Sign's! I seen a comment that the map isn't needed, well maybe for some, but a lot of people still take pictures of it to follow the course. As we are in good standing with the McMinnville Parks Department, all of these changes are Pre-approved thanks to the cooperation of the Parks Dept.Director Susan Muir. Tree limbs ...

Tree limbs that hang too low are trimmed now. Well all for now, I will be posting more often than before, Mark Herwig "Bucket-Man".

This course is pretty great. Unlike earlier comments from years ago, it is easy to navigate. It has been updated with a bulletin board (at the far left of the main parking lot) with a large course map, and there are paper maps you can grab there as well. Each tee has a hole description sign, so you know where you are aiming. Nearly every tee sign is visible from the basket before it.

This course is pretty great.

Unlike earlier comments from years ago, it is easy to navigate. It has been updated with a bulletin board (at the far left of the main parking lot) with a large course map, and there are paper maps you can grab there as well. Each tee has a hole description sign, so you know where you are aiming. Nearly every tee sign is visible from the basket before it.

I was there on a Sunday afternoon with great weather and there were surprisingly few players, and no park goers or path walkers to get in the way. I could see how it could be an issue, with many holes near picnic areas... But that's going to be an issue at any city park.

The course does a very good job of integrating the natural terrain into each hole. Most of the baskets are placed around large trees to increase approach shot difficulty. Several holes cross a small creek (ditch may be more accurate), that is enough to increase the pressure to make a good shot, but not so deep that you'll lose a disc.

The tees are tiny. 3'x5'? They are flat, so you can get a few steps in before the tee, but this seems to be the only drawback here.

After reading the comments I was hesitant to play here, but found it to be one of the more enjoyable courses in the area.
