It's been a few years since I last played my "home away from home" course of Salmon Run in Brookings, Oregon (southern coast, about 1.5 hours south of Bandon). I don't think I've posted a review of it since back in 2011, which is when I started this crazy blog. After playing here again during... Continue Reading →
For my fellow children of the 80s, that song should probably be stuck in your head already. Even though I got some nice weather days, I only ended up playing one round while I was visiting with family in Crescent City. The timing and opportunities just didn't work out. Unfortunately, Del Norte GC is currently... Continue Reading →
Even though I encountered several pleasant surprises on my holiday trip, no round was more significant than my stop at Eugene Country Club. That’s why I saved this review for last. This course is considered one of the top courses in the country, depending on whose rankings you are looking at. Golf Digest currently has... Continue Reading →
As my holiday trip continued, I made my way down the beautiful Oregon Coast. This is one of my favorite places on earth and I’m getting pretty close to having played all the courses along this stretch. I was able to check a few more off the list on this visit and I will feature... Continue Reading →
I’ve been based in Toledo, Oregon this week, which has given me reasonably close access to a handful of new courses in the region. I have been able to play three more since being here, so it has worked out well. It was raining off and on Tuesday, but I still decided to take my... Continue Reading →
After a few days with no golf over the Christmas weekend, I was back on the road Monday. I was set to drive up the Oregon coast and visit a friend in Toledo (just outside of Newport). Though I’ve played most of the notable courses along the coast, there were still plenty of lesser-known options... Continue Reading →
While I’m in the general area for the holidays, I made it a point to visit Bandon and take care of a few odds and ends in this new golf mecca. I’ve played the four main courses at Bandon Dunes Resort in the past, but I came back to round out the short courses, as... Continue Reading →
I’m going to go a little out of order with my reviews, so I can group a few other courses together and focus this post on one of the top-rated courses in the world. Whether you agree or disagree with Golf Magazine’s bi-annual “Top 100 You Can Play” list that ranks Pacific Dunes #1 in... Continue Reading →
The weather has been pretty ugly up here and I haven’t had much free time for golf anyway, but I was able to squeeze in another couple of rounds before getting home. Thankfully, the gloomy skies were counterbalanced by a lot of green grass on the courses I played, so that was nice to see... Continue Reading →
Well, I am up in the Portland/Vancouver area this week and hope to squeeze in a couple rounds while here. For this post, I am grouping together the first few rounds to keep things easy and manageable… The Reserve Vineyards and Golf Club (North Course) • Aloha, OR • 10/24/15 I made it a point...
