About this course

Seaside Golf Club occupies a compact site in the northern Oregon coastal town of Seaside, where architect H. Chandler Egan laid out the course in 1921. Egan, a two-time U.S. Amateur champion who became a prominent designer in the Pacific Northwest, worked with the property's modest terrain to create a routing that fits within the town's residential grid. The course sits inland from the beach, on relatively flat ground with stands of pines and coastal vegetation defining the playing corridors. The layout measures under 6,000 yards from the back tees and plays as a par 66, reflecting both the constrained property and the design conventions of the early twentieth century. The alternate tees provide different angles and yardages across the same basic routing, allowing variety for regular play. Several holes run parallel to one another, and the design emphasizes accuracy and course management over length. The greens are small and subtly contoured, characteristic of Egan's work. Seaside serves primarily as a municipal facility, accessible to visitors and locals alike in a town known more for its beach boardwalk than for golf. The course offers a straightforward test of traditional golf on a historic routing, maintaining its original character in a setting where land constraints have preserved Egan's efficient use of the available acreage. The alternate tees allow the course to play differently on successive rounds without altering the fundamental layout.

Getting there

Seaside Golf Club is most readily accessed via Portland International Airport (PDX), approximately ninety minutes to the northwest, a drive that carries you from the urban Willamette Valley through increasingly dense coastal forest before breaking into the open, salt-tinged air of the Oregon coast. The final stretch descends toward the Pacific, with Highway 101 yielding to quieter local roads that thread past weathered beach towns and maritime landmarks, the sound of surf growing audible as you approach the club's modest but purposeful entrance in this unassuming seaside village. Private aviation options exist at nearby coastal airstrips, though the drive from Portland remains the standard arrival for most members and guests, offering a gentle decompression from travel into the particular quietude of the Oregon coast. The club itself sits in an understated pocket of Seaside, where the landscape - spare, windswept, and authentically maritime - sets the tone for a golf experience defined by restraint and the raw character of links golf played against the Pacific.
