Oregon golf courses offer the chance to immerse yourself amongst the spectacular landscapes this state is known for while playing your favorite sport. From dramatic coastlines to otherworldly deserts and craggy mountain ranges, it’s clear why so many choose to escape to Oregon golf resorts.
Plus, Oregon is famed for its great outdoor adventures, so when you’re not on the fairway, you can explore the numerous forests, lakes, and mountains here.
There are over 200 public Oregon golf courses here, but the flagship golf resort in Oregon has to be Bandon Dunes. The Oregon coast golf courses here are world-renowned and offer the opportunity to have a Scottish-style golfing experience on US soil.
Closer inland, you’ll find Sunriver, Oregon’s golf courses at the foot of the Cascade Mountains. If you’re keen to explore Oregon from the inside out, Juniper Preserve is the farthest course from the coast, with two exceptional courses to try.
“Oregon is an inspiration. Whether you come to it, or are born to it, you become entranced by our state’s beauty, the opportunity she affords, and the independent spirit of her citizens.”

A golf trip to Oregon’s dramatic Pacific coast isn’t complete without visiting the award-winning Bandon Dunes Golf Resort, offering some of the best true links courses in the US and where four of its six courses are ranked top across the entire state.
The most favored course is the Pacific Dunes, which has been cleverly designed by Tom Doak to have the area’s natural elements guide you through the 18-holes. Those who enjoy a strategic game will revel in a round on the David McLay Kidd designed course, Bandon Dunes, whereas the Old Macdonald celebrates golf course architect, Charles Blair Macdonald, with a design that almost transports you to Scotland, the birthplace of golf. There’s also Sheep Ranch, offering one mile of views across the Pacific Ocean, and Bandon Trails offers a trip through ancient woodland.
Head further inland and you’ll find a whole host of courses waiting to be tackled. In Bend, there’s Juniper Preserve (formerly Pronghorn Resort), featuring two award-winning courses with mesmerizing views of the Cascade Mountains.
A little further south, to the east of Eugene is the Sunriver Resort, which won the 2022 Golf Digest Editor’s Choice Award for Best in Resorts in the Pacific Northwest area. Featuring three public courses and one private, there’s a challenge for golfers of all abilities across its 63 holes.
Oregon’s golf history dates back to 1892, when Gearhart Golf Links, one of the US’ first links courses and now the oldest continual course in the west, was established in the beautiful seaside town.
Most golfers will naturally think of the world-acclaimed Bandon Dunes Golf Resort when discussing Oregon, but rest assured, there are many other quality courses to choose from on a golf trip in Oregon. Many of which have been designed by well-known course architects like David McLay Kidd, Bob Cupp and Arnold Palmer.
While the best times of year to play golf in Oregon are from summer through fall, you’ll always find a dedicated golfer or two playing courses at any time of year.
That’s because Oregon is a national favorite for outdoor recreation of all kinds, from cycling to boating, camping to climbing, fishing to golfing, due to its diverse range of picturesque settings to take in, along with four picture-perfect seasons to enjoy.
An Oregon golf trip wouldn’t be complete without visiting some of its top attractions, including the awe-inspiring Crater Lake National Park in the south west, Cannon Beach in the north along the Pacific Coast, Devils Punchbowl on the central Oregon coast, and the variety of unique cities including Portland, Bend and Eugene, each with their own offering.
After a day of testing your golfing abilities or seeing the sights, you’ll be pleased to hear that Oregon is home to a vast amount of highly rated eateries and breweries, all of which can help you to replenish and relax ahead of the next day of exploration.
We just wanted to say that this trip was unforgettable!!! We absolutely loved it.
The courses were superb!!! Bandon Dunes was a must for me and it did not disappoint.
Greens were fine for all courses for most part (a few holes here and there were rough) except sheep rough across most greens. We adjusted to old Mac on the second day post sheep as we heard pac dunes punched and rough. I think that was a mistake. We should have stayed on pac dunes given beauty of it. Old Mac just not as nice as the others…and that was the day rain/wind.
Caddies were awesome, meals were great.
