Oregon Golf Destinations

    The northern Oregon coast is one of the more popular tourist destinations in the state.

  • Portland

    Residents love Portland with as much enthusiasm as the magazines that frequently praise the city for its "livability" - and part of that has to do with its abundance of outdoor activities. Come the warmer months when the rain subsides, golf becomes a big draw. And when it is raining, the masses huddle up in one of the city's countless coffee shops, or more than two dozen microbreweries.

    Located just 45 minutes outside of Portland, Skamania Lodge Golf Course is surrounded by woodlands, giving it an entirely secluded feel.

    Eastmoreland Golf Course was laid out in 1917 by National Amateur Champion, H. Chandlar Egan. Today, Eastmoreland is ranked by Golf Digest among the top public courses in the country.

    The Reserve Vineyards & Golf Club boasts a unique rotating format that gives golfers public access to two different 18-hole championship courses. The North Course, also known as Cupp, plays along coastal dunes while the South Course is routed through wooded hills. The North is considered the more challenging of the two but both are formidable tests.
