Gearhart is the oldest course west of the Mississippi River. While there aren't any ocean views, the course sits just inland about a Bubba Watson drive away from the water. The salt air and heavy, cool wind make it feel like a links course along with the firm playing conditions, mounding and numerous bunkers. It's a very playable course for all skill levels with no forced carries and most holes have openings in front of the green to allow for bump & runs shots.

The greens are very small with soft contouring. The bunkers are filled with beach sand, which tends to be pretty soft and heavy. It's a very fun course where you can score playing aggressive or conservative. Very easy to walk. There aren't many good options for golf along the northern Oregon Coast, but Gearhart is a standout. It's a very charming place with a Lodge and McMenamin's Brew Pub on-site. I highly recommend a visit if you're in the area.
