I'm just a dumb duck and I don't know much about golf, and I'm no fan of anything Beaver, but isn't Trysting Tree supposed to be one of the best courses in the Northwest?

10 of the top 15 courses in Oregon are public - TT is not on the list.
In fairness, with the number of great courses in Oregon, not being on a Top 15 list definitely doesn't make you a shitty course.
Looking at TT, I would say that it looks like a very enjoyable round at a course that isn't super penal for the average golfer. I'm anywhere from a 12-14 handicap depending on how often I'm playing where I'm normally looking at anywhere from 6-9 par or better holes per round. TT looks like a course that I could definitely shoot in the lower to mid 80s on if I'm playing reasonably well. In contrast, when I down in Tucson, I went and played Dove Mountain (which is where the WGC Match Play Championships were held) and that is one of the more difficult courses that I've ever played because it really penalized you for any miss that you had. I birdied 18 for a 98.
