Salishan Golf Links

About Salishan Golf Links

Perched along Oregon's dramatic central coast, this public track delivers one of the most stunning golf experiences in the Pacific Northwest. The layout weaves through towering coastal forests of Sitka spruce and shore pine before emerging onto spectacular oceanfront holes where the Pacific stretches endlessly westward. What sets this course apart is how seamlessly it transitions between these two distinct environments – you'll play intimate, tree-lined corridors that feel like Scottish parkland, then suddenly find yourself battling coastal winds on clifftop holes where errant shots disappear into the churning surf below. The conditioning here consistently exceeds expectations for a daily-fee course, with greens that roll true and fairways that hold their own against pricier resort tracks. While the ocean holes grab the headlines, the forest routing showcases equally clever design work, using the natural topography to create strategic interest without resorting to artificial hazards. At 4.4 stars from nearly 200 reviews, golfers clearly appreciate the combination of natural beauty, solid course maintenance, and reasonable green fees – a rare trifecta on the Oregon coast where resort premiums typically rule.
