Glenwood Community Church

Called ‘The Church’ or just 'Glenwood' by the community of disc golfers that know of or frequent the course, is a low difficulty course with 9 holes spread over fields, through trees, and around buildings which belong to the church’s caretaker. Carts are easily usable for golfers with those types of bags, the teepads are solid concrete, and dogs are allowed both on the course and in the field behind the first tee that is good for practice throws. However, drone fliers have the right of way in the field. Other rules of the course are related to courtesy things like watching out for other players or pedestrians, reasonable music volume, no drinking or smoking as the course is privately owned by the church. The course was established in 2006 and is closed from 7am-1pm on Sundays for church services. The longest hole is a straight shot across a field for hole six at 464ft with the total course is 2382ft and a Par 27, there are also a few variations in course layout so this is the information on the main setup that is used the most.

Pier Park

Pier park is located in Oregon and is set within a beautiful forest of Douglas Firs and Red Cedars, has various types of shots as well as elevations, and is used by both recreational and tournament players. It is a 21 hole course, a par 65 and has tees made from concrete, brick/pavers, or packed dirt. This is also a public park which means that it’s cart and stroller friendly though rouge roots may cause a bumpy ride, restrooms and water is available, dogs are allowed but must be on a leash. It was established in 2002 and is ranked 3rd in all Oregon, revered as the "best par-54 course in the world" and has both summer and winter holes which are for the season named.

Leverich Park Disc Golf Course

Leverich is both a public park and disc golf course so caution is needed if there are other people like walkers and bickers as they have the right of way. There are 13 holes which have alternate locations that change regularly and usually have concrete or dirt teepads. The course is mildly complex and has lots of hills. It is cart friendly, dog friendly, and has restrooms available for use. The course was established in 2008 and has no drinking water available. This course also has a hole that goes over a small river that flows differently with the seasons as it gets a lot of runoff from snow in the colder months which can also flow faster depending on the season and months as well.

Abrams Park Disc Golf Course

Abrams Park is a course located in a back wooded area near Union Ridge Elementary School in the small town of Ridgefield, Washington. Its entrance is behind a play structure near the baseball fields where there is normally decent parking in less busier times and seasons. The course is extremely hilly with lots of trees and excellent sign postage for where each hole is and where each teepad is. It was established in 2017 and is only 9 holes in length that range from 136ft for hole 9 to 397ft for hole 2. Caution is recommended if it has just rained as the paths can be slick and the foliage is full of blackberry bushes in the warmer seasons which can easily cause discs to get lost.

Hornings Hideout: Canyon Course

This is the first of three courses under the name Horning’s Hideout and unlike the rest has a $5 fee to play per person per day. Annual passes are available for frequent visitors and are paid onsite, the annual or day pass. It was established in 2008 and has both wooded and field style holes. The Canyon course has 18 holes, concrete teepads, allows dogs, is cart friendly, and has both drinking water and bathrooms available for use. There is also the long course and the mid-length which is a technical set up, along with a main setup. All setups are Par 56 and in total a 5081ft course.

Hornings Hideout: Highlands Course

This is the second of three courses under the name Horning’s Hideout and was established in 2008 like the first and has both wooded and field style holes. The Highlands course has 18 holes, concrete teepads, allows dogs, is cart friendly, and has both drinking water and bathrooms available for use. Different from the Canyon course, the Highlands course is described as a "pitch 'n' putt" course due to the average distance of the holes being 170ft. There are lots of elevation changes and makes for a good addition to the first course by being both family/beginner friendly while also being great for night or glow golf rounds which are accompanied with solar-powered lights installed on all baskets and tee posts so one can know where they need to shoot for. This is the shortest course on the list as a whole at only 2957ft with only a few holes being more than 200ft.

Hornings Hideout: Meadow Ridge Course

This is the last course under the name Horning’s Hideout and it was established in 2009 and also has a Par 56. There are concrete teepads, dogs are allowed, is cart friendly, and has both drinking water and bathrooms available for use. Some are lucky to see the local peacocks and other animals while on the grounds. Meadow Ridge is revered as the best course in Portland with all kinds of shots imaginable throughout its18 holes. Many of them go back and forth from each other so it’s always good to look out for others when playing, just like in Golf, ‘fore’ is also used as a warning for possible danger from an incoming shot.
