OGA course in Woodburn

I'm surprised this course doesn't get more love. I played it last week for the first time and thoroughly enjoyed it. Anyone else have a similar experience? What are your thoughts on the course?

It's a good course, but not necessarily memorable.

I play it a few times a year. Good course, very reasonably priced, but I'm not a big fan of courses that wind through housing developments. That's just me.

It's okay... I think most people would rather just stop 20 minutes sooner and play Langdon (which is good, but not great). I have always thought that there are a couple strange holes at OGA that look to have been shoehorned in.

I think the downer is that you see the WSGA has The Home Course in DuPont and we have... The OGA (in Woodburn no less). uh... :russian_roulette:

THC is easily one of the top 30 courses in Washington. OGA shouldn't ever be in the top 20 within 100 miles.

This is all a brutal truth. Although I love both courses, THC is in another league. I'm lucky being in Portland that I can get my fix at both.

The quirky OGA holes give it character. Another plus besides value is the usually good conditions.

The best thing about the OGA is that you can drop your significant other off at the Woodburn outlet mall while you play golf.

I wouldn't be too harsh about the OGA though, it's still a fun course to play...which was detracted from a little bit when they built up the houses on the back nine.
