Sorry. I should have mentioned I will be driving back from Bandon Dunes to Portland and stopping to visit a friend in Eugene for a few days.
He will be working during the day so I figured I could find a nice place to play
(I know. I know. It will be a let down after Bandon Dunes............but..............something fun to spend the time)

Tokatee Golf Club , on the gorgeous Mackenzie River Directions - It would probably take you about 40 to 50 minutes to get there from Eugene but it is WELL worth it. This course is a favorite for many Oregonians.

Diamond Woods , 15 minutes from downtown Eugene - Directions

I've played both of these courses multiple times, and they are fabulous. You can see pictures I took on my iPhone while playing Diamond Woods here .

Both courses will only set you back around $35 to $40 depending on when you play.

Tokatee:



I've heard favorable comments about Emerald Valley and Riverridge, which are actually in Eugene, but I've never played them.

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

Ditto on the Diamond Woods recommendation.

Other ideas include:

Trysting Tree in Corvallis.

Go to Eugene via Florence and play Sandpines.

Best Option. Find a way to play Eugene Country Club. Used to be on Golf Digest's Top 100 and considered one of the best in Oregon. It would not be a letdown!

Enjoy your Trip!

I'm not sure why I didn't include Trysting. I live in Corvallis and play it frequently. It's a tough track (esp. the back 9) and not as scenic as Tokatee or Diamond Woods but a great course all the same.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.
