Formerly known as Spring Hill Country Club, Albany Golf & Event Center dates back to 1959. Though the name may have changed, the classic design of the course hasn't. The golf course measures to just over 6,500 yards from the back tees. It may not be a lengthy layout but it's a fun round for beginners and advanced golfers alike, which is why it was chosen as the two-time host to the Oregon Open. The golf course was built on some of the country's most fertile land in a temperate location that allows year-round play. Strategically placed bunkers frame the greens and there are water hazards that come into play on a few holes. One of the most difficult holes, the par-3 17th, is a water hole. There is a lake that runs along the entire right side up to the green, which is also bordered by bunkers to the left.

Extremely well maintained course.

I usually don't judge a course by the type of round I had however, in this case, it just so happens that the round had a major influence on my mindset of this review. The front nine was tougher than I thought and because I hadn't figured out my mistakes till the back nine played tougher also. Although I played much better on the back nine, I didn't figure out my mistakes till about the 16th hold. I shot my best 9 hole round ever in my life on the back nine. I even birdied the par 5 that is touted as the toughest on the course. Overall an amazing day. I just wish the front nine went as well.

Great course - Great day!

From the time I got there until the time I left, it was great! I made use of their driving range but didn't get to practice on their chipping practice green because I ran out of time but it looked like a great place to practice my chipping. Fairways were in good shape and the greens were fairly fast.

Nice golf facility

This course was in excellent shape given the time of year and recent rainfall, and I've always enjoyed playing here. I do have a criticism, but it's one I would level at many courses. The greens are absurdly fast! Courses want us to play faster rounds, but their green speeds almost guarantee a lot of 3 putts. The greens were in very good condition, and are quite challenging enough without making them absurdly difficult for the average hacker.

Very nice greens!

This course has a very nice look about it. Stately cedars and many mature trees lining the fairways. Still open enough to swing away but the trees will come into play if you are a little errant. Some water features, but most don't come into play. The fairways were well groomed and not too wet for winter play. By far the best part of the course were the greens. Subtle breaks, smooth rolls, and fairly fast for this time of year. With four sets of tees, all age and ability levels can enjoy this course.
Would definitely recommend playing!

Winter not the best time

Careful about playing Albany this time of year. We had a frost delay for over an hour, then got put behind a party of five. Club staff were nice enough with some pursuading to let us start on the back 9. Another issue were Winter greens, which made the holes about 10 yards shorter and had us putting on the fairways. Overall, I don't feel like we actually got to play the course as intended. Otherwise, the course is very nice, well-maintained, and recommended.

Terrific staff and great value.

While the course is in great condition and is a really good layout, the best part of the experience is the great staff. Whoever does the training should be very proud of the service that is provided.
I will be be back with more friends.

This course has some real challenges that require one to pay attention.

Very well maintained course. Greens are exceptional. Not many in the fairway as some fairways tend to funnel down to about 15 yds in width. Rough is tiered and well maintained and not too deep. A nice 3-3-3 layout on each 9. Sand was a little hard (and there is enough around the greens to make one be accurate on the approach. I really enjoyed the course and will play it again.

Excellent Playing conditions

We played there on October 21, 2013, and the course conditions were similar to playing during the summer. The greens were immaculate, the fairways allowed the ball to roll a good distance, the rough was cut short and there were very few areas where leaves covered the ground. The course was not busy and so we were allowed to tee off about 1/2 hour early.
My golf partner had never played there before and he was very impressed with the course. Most of my play has been during the wet months and so it was fun to play in much better conditions.

Unique layout with equal number of par 3's, 4's, & 5's.

Enjoyable golf course and layout by combining equal number of short and long holes. This provides scoring opportunities every 3 holes. Great design and layout with the challenge based on your choice of tees. Greens were smooth and true, with fairways well maintained.
