The greeting when I walked in was not what I receive in L.A., but one that made me feel confortable to have never been there before. The head pro overheard my questions and came over to describe the course to me and encouraged me to play the back nine as it was late and I would only be able to get in 9 holes.
He seemed truly happy to have someone come and experience his course and took pride in explaining to me how the back 9 would play. He told me it would be tough, and it was! It was fair and I was able to determine where I wanted to be off the tee, and out of the 9 different courses I played on my trip, this one was the highlight!
My only regret is not having the time to play all 18. Each of the holes had their own nuances, with each presenting a different challenge. The greens were fast but true and the fairways offered up clear landing zones.
My handicap is an 11 and I shot a 7 over on the 9 holes and enjoyed every minute of it! I just got back from my trip yesterday and so enjoyed this course that I had to go back and live it again on-line!
If you are ever in the Eugene area, this is a must play course!
I almost for got to mention the Hotel, it was great! Once the young lady in the pro shop knew I was going to stay somewhere local after playing, she told me about their hotel and called to check on availability for me. After playing, I only had to drive about a half of a mile to the hotel, when I walked in they could tell by my attire that I had been golfing and asked if I was Kevin, they had my room reserved! I was able to soak in the hot tub and swim in the pool, all in doors, rest in the nicest room I had stayed in on my trip and had a wonderful complimentary breakfast before continuing south.
As you can tell, I really enjoyed my stop over! I'm going to talk with my golf buddies and suggest an outing, but we'll fly, that driving I-5 takes a toll on you!
