The Golf Club of Oregon Overview: This golf course is old, founded in 1929. It also does not have much in the way of views, but it does have a lot of trees that would grace many a City Square come Christmas time. Beyond that, the golf is relatively mundane, with a few quite good golf holes as described below:
The Golf Club of Oregon Hole 1: The first hole is pretty tough with OB left (train tracks and a field) and large trees right that will block an errant drive from the elevated tee box. Like many other golf holes out here, the approach is to a smallish green with a bunker.

The Golf Club of Oregon Hole 3 (left): This short par 3 needs a high soft shot over the front bunker; if pulled or pushed, it'll hit a tree.
The Golf Club of Oregon Hole 7 (below): This is a good short dogleg left par four with a very tight approach to a tough green fronted by a bunker, with a tier and generally tough putts all around.

The Golf Club of Oregon Hole 8: Long and narrow between trees that Santa Clause himself would delight to decorate, this is a tough par four that required two excellent shots to hit the slightly elevated green.
The Golf Club of Oregon Hole 15: This short par three has a gully short of it. The putting surface is wide but not deep and slopes pretty strongly from back to front.
The Golf Club of Oregon Hole 16: This dogleg right par four is the gem of the course with an interesting drive full of choices of angle, distance and varying problems awaiting. Trees and slopes will lead to several ways to play this hole depending on the path chosen and the approach itself has a pleasant backdrop of trees.
