This was my second round yesterday. Thankfully, I called ahead before leaving Lincoln City. The lady in the pro shop was very nice and said she was probably going to shut down for the day around 2:00 because no other players were coming out. I let her know I was on my way and she was happy to wait. She had a cart waiting out front for me when I arrived. I paid my $32 (9 holes plus cart) and zipped around the course as quickly as I could.

No surprise that the course was very wet. Again, nice green grass throughout, but just mushy and sloppy in most areas. The big issue here was the greens. They do not take heavy rain well. A couple were closed off completely, playing to temp greens in the shaggy fairways. The rest had the flags pulled to prevent more damage around the cups, so that made it interesting. I put a few flags in myself just for pictures, but then took them back out when finished with each hole.

Though probably the worst green conditions of the trip, this may have been the prettiest setting I've played in. It's a regulation 9-holer (par-37 actually) and plays in a secluded valley. Very hilly with lots of trees. Very tricky layout with severe doglegs and some blind shots. A bit quirky at times, but also lots of character. If you play here, though, do it in the summer! I'm surprised they even keep the place open this time of year considering how little play they get and the difficulty of maintenance during the rainy season. Of course, it's coastal Oregon, so it's almost always the rainy season!!!
