Played my second round as an OR resident at the local muni with a 12:22pm tee time on an otherworldly 70 degree day, unfortunately with a constant 15 MPH wind with gust nearly double that. The course is pretty bare bones, but like Nick's review from even a few years ago, it's in great shape for a municipal and offers all you need, which is good golf.

Tees: Good shape overall. Most everyone I saw played blues here as the course is not very long, but no matter as the tee box itself is the same for both blue/white, just spaced out some. Handful of boxes were unlevel, but nothing to go on a rant about.

Fairways: Good to great shape. Considering it's, you know Oregon, they drained relatively well from rain early in the week and are kept up in great shape. Visually stunning as the grass really pops and offers good lies.

Rough: Penal under the trees. You do NOT want to miss in the areas here closest to the water and natural landscape, as the ball just disappears.

Sand: Was in one bunker and it was fine, but the sand was unlike anything I have ever seen, probably volcanic dirt more than sand, but it did the trick as it was soft and the consistency was ideal for shot shaping.

Greens: Highlight of the round; they were beautiful and quick! On downhill putts the ball was running like it was on glass. People seem to do a good job fixing divots and the playing surface was ideal.

ETC: As mentioned, course is a muni and you can tell in most every regard outside of the actual golf. Clubhouse was well stocked and staff was friendly, but they have a hard time balancing overloading the tee sheet and making sure people go off on time. Rolling up to the 1st tee and seeing 3 groups waiting was a precursor for what was to come; waiting on every shot until the turn, a 5 hour pace, and lots of people yelling at groups in front of them. Overall, if you come out during a slower time and care only about the golf, this would be your place.
