On the weekend of October 4th-6th, the second annual Wild Rogue Open disc golf tournament went down in stellar weather conditions at Quosatana Creek Campground in the Rogue Siskiyou National Forest just east of Gold Beach, Oregon. The more than 40 competitors played on the challenging temporary course that was set up by OCVA on the splendid grounds of the campground amongst huge Myrtlewood, Big Leaf Maple, and Douglas Fir trees along the Wild and Scenic Rogue River. This temporary course is a perfect mix of open fairways and tight woods golf where a score of under par is considered pretty darn good.
Many campsites were reserved for the weekend by players and their families during this normally slower time for the campground which brought in some good shoulder season income into not only the campground, but also into the communities of Gold Beach and Agness, just up the river. Players came from Oregon, California, and one player from all the way up in Washington. Ages ranged from 12 up into the upper 60’s and there were professional as well as amateurs in multiple divisions playing this beautiful course.
A huge thanks to our partners at Rogue Siskiyou National Forest for their willingness to award the permit necessary to conduct an event like this on our public lands in Curry County. We would also like to thank Jason Nehmer with Pacific Upshot Consulting who ran the tournament!
