FLORENCE GOLF LINKS

The Oregon coast delivers one of its finest public offerings through windswept duneland that plays firm and fast year-round, demanding creativity over raw power. Architect Robert Muir Graves carved routing through natural sand hills and shore pine, where the back nine's elevated tees reveal glimpses of the Pacific while coastal breezes test every club selection. This is links golf as it should be played—bouncing approach shots, reading ground contours, and embracing the elements rather than fighting them.
