#1 course in the north west
unlike the previous review, I will leave some details....
Pros- Great all around course, nothing bad to report. Has wide open fairways, with really good grooming (when the weather cooperates for the state to mow). Baskets are kept very well, with fresh paint every year. They are moved for tournaments and sometimes get left that way, so the course changes a little from time to time.
Cons-Keep your disc low on holes 7 and 8 or they might drop left into the river, and Hole 5 is a bear for how long it is.
Other-people should stop grafting the baskets, first off its ugly, second it will get painted over every year anyway, third its not your property so leave it alone.
Milo is long in portions, well maintained and in a lovely grassy park by the Clackamas River. The area holds affectionate connections for older concertgoers because of the week long Vortex 1 concert in 1970. The governor defused a possibly violent reaction to Nixon's visit to OR by holding the only State sponsored concert in US history at Milo. For disc golfers, it and Pier Park are the closest of the top tier NW courses near the DG hotbed of Portland. It might lack the more primitive forest section that one would ask from a top NW course (other top OR courses like Adair and Whistler's Bend offer this), but it does have length, variety, and a super setting.
