Mallard Creek Golf Course -- Lebanon, Oregon

Mark Tunstill - PGA Head Golf Professional

Within three years of opening Mallard Creek was put to the test by the Pacific Northwest’s best players when we hosted the 2002 PGA Oregon Open. Errant shots end up in wetlands, not backyards, as there are no homes or condominiums to disrupt the view surrounding the course. Set against the foothills of the Cascades, buffer zones of wild grasses, wetlands, and stands of trees between holes create separation and give each hole a feeling of intimacy.

Knowing when to play conservatively and when to take risks should be carefully considered; especially on the par fours. Scoring opportunities start early on both nines with classic risk/reward tee shots that incorporate well protected greens that are reachable from the tee. Our bentgrass fairways provide modest landing areas on most holes. Immaculately groomed, undulating greens have left even the best putters second guessing themselves.

For traveling golfers, our first rate RV Resort offers a short walk to the course and a variety of Stay and Play Packages. Our full service bar features a selection of seasonal Oregon Microbrews and undoubtedly, the best chicken wings in the Western Hemisphere. After your round, join us in front of the fireplace or kick back on the patio and see for yourself why Mallard Creek has become the “friendliest course”. We look forward to serving you!

Tokatee Golf Club - Blue River, OR

Dan King - Head Golf Professional

Located just this side of heaven Tokatee Golf Club has offered its magnificent vistas to its playing clientele for over 40 years. Nestled in the foothills of the Cascades, laying in the shadows of the Three Sisters Mountains, playing Tokatee Golf Club has been described as a "spiritual experience." There are no homes and no out-of-bounds at Tokatee but plenty of mother nature to challenge and enhance your round. Each hole is distinctively different, starting out wide open to offer the player forgiveness and slowly but surely taking you into the trees, of which you will find many at Tokatee.

There are many breathtaking or "signature" holes but the par 5 sixteenth is certainly the most talked about and/or photographed. The player tees off an elevated perch to a wide open fairway framed by a fairway bunker on the right and the snowcapped Three Sisters as a backdrop. It is decision time on the second shot, go for it in two or lay up short of the pond that guards the left side of the fairway. It can be a difficult hole for a short par 5, but once completed you get to play the short par 3 17, everyone's favorite hole. Tokatee Golf Club, golf at its finest.
