Fred Federspiel

Fred Federspiel developed a portfolio of golf courses primarily across Oregon and southwestern Washington during his design career. His work includes Salishan Spa at Gleneden Beach, a coastal Oregon layout, and Royal Oaks Country Club in Vancouver, Washington. Both courses demonstrate his approach to routing that respects the natural terrain of the Pacific Northwest.

Additional designs attributed to Federspiel include Albany Golf & Event Center, McNary Golf Club in Keizer, and the North course at Meriweather National Golf Club in Hillsboro. He also designed Pineway Golf Club in Lebanon and Santiam Golf Club in Aumsville, contributing to the regional golf infrastructure throughout Oregon's Willamette Valley and beyond.

While Federspiel is noted in other contexts as a technology entrepreneur and nuclear physicist, his golf architecture represents a focused body of work serving public and resort golfers in the Pacific Northwest.
