With spring and warmer weather right around the corner in the Pacific Northwest, now is a great time to consider planning a golf vacation to Oregon’s Tualatin Valley!
Situated between Portland and the Oregon Coast, the Tualatin Valley is the gateway to the famed Willamette Valley wine country and the Tillamook Forest. The region’s prime location–just minutes outside of the city–along with unique lodging options offers easy access to a wide range of outdoor activities from hiking and cycling to exploring different craft breweries and wineries. The region also boasts an impressive food scene, featuring many local restaurants with innovative menus and locally sourced fare.
Some of Tualatin Valley’s most notable courses include:
- Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club: This semi-private club has consistently ranked among the country’s best courses due to its course design, natural surroundings, and upscale amenities.
- Meriwether National Golf Club: Surrounded by rich farmland in Hillsboro, this 18-hole West/North layout plays to a par 72 with a mix of open spaces, trees, ponds, and indigenous birds and wildlife. Meriwether also boasts a 30-stall driving range and three putting greens.
- Claremont Golf Club: Located in Bethany, this golf course has been a fan favorite due to its well-groomed fairways and outstanding greens.
- Summerfield Golf Course: Tucked away in Tigard, this public course features a 2,353-yard, par 33, 9-hole design with tree-lined fairways and immaculate greens.
