Directions:
I-5 to Exit 58, south on 6th St., 2 miles to just past bridge over Rogue River, left into park. 1st tee just east of 7th St. bridge.
This is a wonderful park to learn the game of disc golf. The holes are not too long, there is a great mix of open holes, great use of the natural terrain, playing under bridges on holes 1 and 4, and a shot through a canopy of trees on hole 5.
Pros: Great beginner course to learn each style of throw. Shorter holes allow you to learn driving accuracy, instead of trying to bomb each hole for max distance. Great mix of open fairways and technical tree cover. Course is well maintained, and the only real threat of losing a disc come on holes 3,4,5. Excellent course to learn to keep your drives low and accurate.
Cons: Usually a very busy park, and there are walkways that come right through fairways, just be patient and this shouldn't bug you too much. Holes 4 and 9 can become disc eaters as you are playing right next to the river. People play an alternate 9 to the basket at number 3, this can become a problem on a busy day, but a little grace and patience will overcome any problems encountered at this course.
Overall, this is a just a fun course to play, and learn the game of disc golf.
