§ The lay of the land

A real disc golf town, if you beat the heat

Portland is a disc golf city the way it's a coffee city: seriously, and from the ground up. Pier Park is the beloved free classic — 18 par 3s winding through towering firs in St. Johns — while Milo McIver in Estacada is the tournament cathedral that hosts the Beaver State Fling. Both are among the most-played and best-loved courses in the Pacific Northwest.

The pay-to-play gems are worth the drive: Blue Lake's marathon 10,000-foot layout and Horning's Hideout, the private three-course property with camping. Rain is part of the deal — grippy shoes are standard equipment.

New here? Pier Park is the essential first round; Milo McIver is the pilgrimage.
