503-289-1818 | | | | | Description: A scenic links-style course, this venue offers water on just about every hole. Fairways are average in width, but there's trouble everywhere you look. Peppering the landing areas and surrounding these greens are deep bunkers that are difficult to play from. Aggressive play can be rewarded, but it can also cost you several shots if you happen to miss the shot.

503-650-6900 | | | | | Description: WEST LINN. A wonderful example of the area's natural terrain, this hilly course contains very few level areas.
