Astoria Golf & Country Club




About this course
Astoria Golf & Country Club sits on the northern Oregon coast near Warrenton, a few miles from the mouth of the Columbia River where it meets the Pacific Ocean. Designed by George Junor and opened in the 1920s, the course occupies rolling terrain characteristic of the coastal landscape, with the routing shaped by the natural contours and prevailing winds that sweep in from the ocean. Junor, a Pacific Northwest architect active in the early twentieth century, worked primarily in Oregon and Washington, creating courses that responded to the region's varied topography and climate. The layout reflects the modest scale and straightforward design principles common to courses of its era, with holes that move through stands of coastal pines and across open ground. The setting offers views toward the Columbia River estuary and the surrounding coastal hills, and the course experiences the changeable weather typical of the region—fog, wind, and rain are frequent companions to play. The club serves as a community gathering place for the Warrenton area, maintaining a traditional small-town golf club atmosphere. Astoria Golf & Country Club represents a piece of early golf history on the Oregon coast, where courses were often built to serve local populations rather than destination players. The design has likely evolved over the decades through routine maintenance and modest updates, but it retains the character of a regional layout shaped by its coastal environment and the practical design approach of its time.

Getting there
The journey to Astoria Golf & Country Club begins at Portland International Airport, roughly ninety minutes northwest along the Columbia River's final descent toward the Pacific. The drive traces Highway 30 through the Columbia River Gorge's western reaches before the landscape opens into tidal flats and forested headlands, the air growing salt-tinged as the river widens into its estuary. Astoria itself clings to steep hillsides above the water, and the club occupies a commanding perch on the peninsula's northern edge, where the river meets the sea and the greens roll beneath the gaze of the Astoria-Megler Bridge stretching toward Washington's distant shore.
