About this course

Sandelie Golf Course occupies a hillside setting in West Linn, a suburban community south of Portland along the Willamette River. Designed by Harvey Junor and opened in the mid-1960s, the course reflects the practical, accessible design philosophy common to Pacific Northwest municipal and daily-fee layouts of that era. The property features rolling terrain with elevation changes that provide views across the surrounding residential areas and, on clear days, glimpses of the Cascade Range to the east. The routing makes use of the natural topography, with holes playing uphill, downhill, and across slopes that require thoughtful club selection and course management. Mature trees—Douglas firs, cedars, and deciduous varieties—line many fairways and add definition to the layout. The course measures modest by contemporary standards, making it walkable and suitable for players of varying skill levels. Greens are typically small to mid-sized, and the design emphasizes straightforward strategic choices rather than severe hazards or forced carries. Sandelie serves as a neighborhood facility in the Portland metropolitan area, offering an unpretentious golf experience within a residential context. The course appeals to local players seeking convenient access and a layout that rewards accuracy and smart play over length. Its longevity reflects its role as a steady presence in the region's public golf inventory, maintaining the character of mid-century Northwest course design.
