The best courses you can play in Oregon

“What can I say, most interesting routing on a course I’ve ever played. Tom Doak threw the playbook out the window and let the land lead the way. The routing twists through dunes, cliffs, and wind like a story you don’t want to end. Those five par-3s (four on the back!)”

“Amazing golf course overshadowed by Pac Dunes. Seaside holes are spectacular with fair amount of mix of risk / reward. Greens are weaker than Pac / Old Mac. A few forgettable holes - but mostly a wonderful walk and a must play for anyone making the trek to Bandon.”

“My favorite course at Bandon. It’s the one that feels most alive. Starting on the dunes, slipping into the forest, then climbing back toward the coast like a journey through Oregon itself.”

“Huge greens, but difficult. Didn’t feel gimmicky with template holes. The gorse blooming was incredible. Despite one coastline hole was still magnificent. Liked it way more than I thought I would”

“Impressive that they fit 18 holes in here. Some of it feels a little forced, specifically the 430 yard par 5 18th, but the vistas make you forget everything else. Tough to beat the walk. The volcano 11th is a highlight that’s not on the cliffs.”

“Funky links like course beloved in Oregon. Fun course short par4’s long par 3’s and the crazy long par 5 18th Sandy turf winds through dunes with open green fronts for running up.”

“Always very highly rated in the state. Beautiful course with incredible views. The Fairly flat with the Metolius River winding through the course and some wild greens. You won’t be disappointed”

“The perfect break from a full round, the Preserve is a well thought out par 3. With views of 17/18 of Bandon Dunes and carved out of the hills, blind tee shots and a mix of large/small greens, you’re guaranteed a good time.”

“Little bit under the radar club in Portland area. Nice course can be a little soggy in low lying areas. Has some railroad tie bulkheads and some housing give it a bit of a 90’d vibe. Good ground movement good par 3 variety. Good course look forward to playing again”

“Great layout would be rated in the mid 8’s if it wasn’t unplayable half the year. Worst draining course I’ve ever played which is sad because the layout is great. Cool holes great visuals play it mid June until first rains late October”

“When it’s in peak condition it’s one of the very best course in the northwest, and I think, the best in Portland. Hasn’t been the case lately though. Layout is fantastic. Lots of variety in holes, length, green sizes etc. Good modern history, and absolutely worth trying to play.”

“Sadly Bandon’s management have jumped the gun with shorties. Many greens haven’t taken, and too many similar shots. Should’ve waited least another year.”

“Nice resort course. Great resort great food. Front 9 is up in the hills and is the tougher nine tree lined with elevated fast greens. 2nd 9 is a little shorter and borders Siletz bay and in the sand dunes. Some ocean views on the back ends with 3 short par 4’s.”

“A really good golf course and a great value. They allow golf carts so if you want to play but the resort walking has tired you out Crossings is a great option. Tough walk some quirky holes but a top 20 Oregon golf course. Greens can be a bit on the slow side.”

“Public course and practice home of OSU Beavers. They have a turf grass program at Oregon State so this course is always in great shape if it’s not under water.”
