Visiting my uncle in Waldport on a PNW road trip from Bay Area CA and have been playing several courses along the way. Read about this one and had to check it out.
18 hole course opened up earlier this year. Newest course I’ve ever played. Woods up in this area are thick. Making a course from scratch in these woods is quite the endeavour. I’d say it was done quite well.
Cement tee boxes on each hole. New signs on each hole. About half the holes have an amateur pin and pro pin. Both baskets are in on these holes at all times. I played on amateur and finished 2 over par. A fantastic round for me. I probably had 4-5 birdies and fell apart on a few holes with double or triple bogies.
The course is very short and technical with thick woods and narrow alleys between trees. As someone with only a 250’ drive, these are my favourite type of courses.
Luckily I didn’t lose a disc, but I did spend a decent amount of time looking for them, especially in the first few holes before I enlisted my friend to be the ‘spotter.’ This helped us locate the discs when they went off path.
Hole 13 is confusing in terms of the mandatory right/left. The hole sign says left, but the arrows on the tree say right. Perhaps a typo. Signage is pretty good, but could be better for sure. We did get lost on one hole and walked around for a bit. Some of the holes with detailed direction signage were much more intuitive. Having the direction to next hole on every sign would have been helpful.
All in all a fun course and a great addition to Waldport!
