Courses
- Dabney State Park: ## Dabney State Park Research Summary
Basic Information:
- Location: Troutdale, Oregon
- COORDINATES: 45.517600, -122.351733
- PDGA_URL: https://www.pdga.com/course-directory/course/dabney-state-park
- UDisc Rating: 4.3/5.0 (242 reviews)
- Holes: 18 holes, Par 54
Terrain & Layout:
- Mixed woods + open parkland with real elevation (front nine climbs/descents, later holes tighten into forest).
- Water comes into play on multiple holes (ponds/creeks), and late-round shots flirt with a left-side ravine/drop-off.
- Mostly mid-length par 3 golf (~5,000 ft total) that rewards control and angle-shaping more than pure distance; multiple pin positions + a few mandos keep it fresh.
Amenities: • Concrete tees
• Restrooms available (no drinking water listed)
• Cart friendly in parts
• Tee signs / navigation help (but pin locations can make signs feel “off”)
• Practice basket mentioned by reviewers
• Benches on many tees (per reviews)
• Pay-to-park state park fee; no dogs allowedCourse Personality & Vibe:
- Overall feel: Classic Pacific Northwest disc golf—mossy woods, damp earth, and little pockets of beauty that make you slow down… right before the course punishes a lazy line.
- Who loves this course: Intermediate/advanced players and “shot-shapers” who like technical par 3 golf, workable birdies, and the constant risk/reward of water + thick rough.
- Local reputation: A Portland-area staple (often cited as an early dedicated course in the region) with a strong community rating, but with recurring notes about mud/standing water and occasional signage/pin-position confusion.
Player Voices - The Real Talk:
- “apple trees and black berry bushes” - @mnmarquess
- “amazing views bring a spotter” - @flightrisk2020
- “mean blackberry bushes to throw into” - @reilly
- “no updated tee signs” - @saucertosser21
- “the fishies have so many discs” - @bogeybroski
- “This course kicked my ass!” - Nick Nisbet
Signature Holes & Local Lore:
- Water drama early: players repeatedly mention the water carries/pond play on the early holes (newer players are specifically warned about the water line on Hole 3).
- The “don’t-go-left” finish: multiple sources call out the late holes where a left kick can tumble into a ravine/drop-off—great for drama, brutal for plastic.
- Rough that bites back: blackberry brambles + stinging nettles are part of the Dabney identity; missing the fairway can turn into a scratchy scavenger hunt.
- “Canyon of doom” gets name-dropped for the back-nine cliffside feel in older community chatter.
The Love/Hate Relationship:
- What players LOVE: shot variety, a true mix of wooded/open looks, legit elevation, and a design that forces you to throw a wide range of shapes.
- What players WARN about: mud/standing water in wet seasons, water hazards that eat discs, thick rough (nettles/blackberry), fairways that can feel tight/close together, and tee signs not always matching current pin positions.
- Common advice from regulars: wear waterproof shoes/boots, bring a spotter on blind/water holes, use UDisc for navigation/pin spotting, and don’t leave valuables in your car.
Description: Dabney feels like a moody Pacific Northwest hike that just happens to have baskets hidden in the trees—beautiful, damp, and quietly demanding. You’ll find birdies if you hit your lines, but miss by a few feet and you’re negotiating water, brambles, or a ravine.
