That is very Northwest. I best you don't get a lot of winter golf in up in Alaska. If you come to Seattle I can definitely recommend some courses. I have also heard that Pumpkin Ridge in the Portland area is a great course although I have never personally played it.

Ok, I'll definitely ask for some suggestions, and no we don't get much golf. It's actually not that bad in the winter, because we have an indoor driving range, but I live 5 minutes from my home course, and everytime I go to my soccer practices we driver right by it, and I look right, see the course covered in 6 feet of snow and get really bummed

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

Gold Mountain (Bremerton, WA)

Shuksan (Bellingham, WA) - Lots of interest, beautiful setting, elevation changes. Kayak Point (Stanwood, WA) - Beautiful setting. Links and the Woodlands at Hawks Prairie (Lacey, WA) Avalon Golf (Burlington, WA) - just don't play it in the winter because rain turns it to soup.

I'm in the Bothell area. Would love to connect and play a round with any of you fellows.

My favorite course up here is Chambers Bay, hands down. That place is amazing.

I rotate between Legion Memorial, Nile GC, Willow's Run and Walter Hall mostly because of their proximity to my place. I need to get over and play West Seattle - I hear it's a pretty decent track.

West Seattle is not to bad for a public muni. It does get very crowded, I advise you to be one of the first times in the monring if you want to play at your own pace, don't even think about playing twilight. The back side is much better than the front side.

Looks like we will need to schedule a Puget Sound Golf get together!

I play in a scramble there every year. The Olympic course is outstanding.

I'd be up for a round any time. :)

Mostly public and mostly very affordable, because I ain't spending a lot of $ on fancy courses till my game warrants it:

Tokatee - Blue River, OR on the Mackenzie River - absolutely beautiful!
http://www.tokatee.com/index2.html

Diamond Woods - Monroe, OR - one of my favorites!
http://www.diamondwoods.com/golf/pro...rse/course.htm

Lost Tracks - Bend, OR - probably one of the fancier courses I've played, they have an island par three with an old railroad car as the bridge - I played twilight rate in the summer with a great discount.
http://www.losttracks.com/

Trysting Tree - Corvallis, OR - my 'home' course, I guess...
http://www.trystingtree.com/

Eagle Crest Resort Course - Bend, OR - another fairly fancy course, some beautiful terrain and challenging golf. There are two other course that I have not played at this resort.

What's in my bag:
Cleveland Hibore XLS Monster Driver
TourEdge Exotics 2,3,4 hybrid irons
Tommy Armour 845cs Silverbacks 5-PW
Assorted wedges, Ping Scottsdale Anser

I haven't played a lot of golf in Oregon, just at The Reserve outside of Portland. However, I have heard that there are some great courses in Bend, and of course I would love to play out at Bandon.

Oh man if you have the $ and/or the connections there are some out of this world courses to play golf in Bend area.

I have a dream to play this place: http://www.pronghornclub.com/ then there are the Sunriver courses, Widgi, Broken Top, River's Edge, Crooked River Ranch, Aspen Lakes, Black Butte Ranch, Kah-Nee-Ta and more. Yeah, The Bend area has a disgusting amount of amazing golf courses. More realistically I will play here soon (vote one of the best new public courses by golf mag last year): http://www.junipergolf.com/Golf/

It could be nice, or it might be wet. The PNW rule is that if you can't see the mountain its raining, if you can its gonna rain!

Like Alaska (I lived in the rain capitol of the universe - Ketchikan) the PNW can be pretty wet at times. It'll depend on the week. Things gotta lighten up soon though.

A great long weekend in Central Oregon is to play Friday afternoon at Tokatee in Blue River. It is just out of Eugene on the way to Bend. Saturday morning Quail Run in LaPine then Juniper in Redmond in the afternoon. Get up early Sunday to play Aspen Lakes in Sisters and then finish it off with Glaze Meadows at Black Butte. You can not find 5 nicer places to play that are all so close together that gives you such variation of golf.
