Shadow Hills Country Club

The Willamette Valley's climate gives the course a long, soft-green growing season. Winters are wet and mild rather than punishing, which means the course stays playable much of the year, and summers bring the kind of dry, warm days that firm up fairways and reward the ground game. The valley's flat agricultural floor and gradual terrain shifts give courses in this region a quieter, unhurried character — nothing dramatic or manufactured, just honest golf against a backdrop of open sky and distant tree lines.

As a country club in a small, tight-knit community, Shadow Hills carries the social fabric of its membership. This is the sort of place where regulars know each other by name and the game is played at a comfortable pace.
