THE GOLF CLUB OF OREGON

The Willamette Valley's rolling terrain produces some of Oregon's most underrated golf, and this Peter Jacobsen design proves the point with elevation changes that reward course management over pure power. Strategic bunkering and mature Douglas firs frame fairways that demand precision, while the back nine's downhill par-3 17th offers one of the state's most memorable short-hole experiences. At under $60 for weekend play, serious golfers get championship conditioning without the private club pretense that plagues too many Pacific Northwest layouts.
