Spring Hill Golf Club at Albany Golf & Event Center
About
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.

Great Deal
Can't beat $24 with a cart and such a beautiful course!!
This course is great.
I enjoyed the game with my friend. The course is great.
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.
The course is always in great shape
Played course about 8 times now and really like it..
I live 30miles away and think it is better then the choices I have in this larger town I'm from............
Great Course
Springhill Country Club is a beautiful course and well maintained. I highly recommend playing this course.
friendliness
I felt like anunwanted gest by the pro shop and some of the plate players.
Beautiful facility and course
Everything is in perfect condition and a beautiful setting. Fairly busy, but pace moved along well. We had a cart, but would have been a relatively easy walk. Reminded us of the great old courses in Portland, Rose City/Eastmoreland. Pretty $$$$ normally, but we got a great deal on Golfnow.
Good an fair test of golf.
I was disappointed to see cup liners installed at surface level to the greens. The rules of golf- see, Definitions: Hole -allow cup liners provided they are installed at least 1" below the putting surface. The only exception is if the soil conditions are so poor that it is impractical to do so, and that is not the case at Albany Golf and Event Center. The reality is that most golf courses using cup liners do so in order to avoid cutting new cups regularly. The reason is obvious, savings. But it is a sad testimony to their integrity when they set the rules of golf aside for their own convenience. I will use golfnow.com again, but I will not book another round at Albany Golf & Event Center until I know they observe and honor the rules of this great game.
Great day
I like this course. It gives the average golfer like me a chance to shoot a decent score. The course is well maintained and not so busy that you have to stand and wait at every Tee box. We were able to consistently play on the move. I will return to this course.
Great course
The course is great and the food is good at the course. We have played here twice during the month of August. Found that the men's club and other members are not that welcoming and if you are not a great player they have little patience for outsiders.
Love the course but probably will not go down again this year.
Beautiful landscaping
This is my first time playing this course. The pace of play was slow. I would play there again.
this course is a great deal for the $
This is the second time I have played this course. I enjoy playing here because of the friendlyness of the staff. I only noticed one green with a little moss on it. The course appears to be very well maintained. The greens were a bit dry and fast on the front nine. But slowed down as we played thru the back nine. For sure will be playing there again soon.
Excellent value
Excellent value. Friendly staff. Challenging greens. Too many similar holes.
The course was in great shape.
The driving range needs some attention but the course was well maintained.
This course has plenty of challenges and easy to walk.
Course is in very good condition. Played on a busy Sunday yet played in 4 hours. Truly one of my favorite courses in the valley.
Love it!!
Albany is one of my favorite courses, it is always in great playing condition...the staff are so very friendly..I live in salem and I would play this course every day if i could...
Basic layout, fairly challenging
Fun course, layout was basic with nothing to special.
the course was clean and great staff.
Clean , will play the course again. Staff was very helpful.
