SANTIAM GOLF CLUB INC

The Willamette Valley's rolling farmland creates an honest test where accuracy trumps distance, and the prevailing westerly winds off the Cascade foothills demand thoughtful club selection on every approach. This unpretentious track rewards course management over bomb-and-gouge tactics, with strategically placed water hazards that punish the reckless while offering multiple route options for the thinking player. The greens hold well enough to attack pins when you've earned the right angle, making this a place where scratch players and weekend warriors can equally appreciate the architecture's subtlety.
