The Mook at Alderbrook

Bring extra balls if you don't do well with water hazards and deep brush.
They have 2 holes one on front 9 and one on back 9 that have great views and tee shots that seem like 500 yard drives.

I found a $10 tee time for this course (normally 40-50/round). The fairways and greens were well manicured. The course plays fairly tight, so more conservative shots lead to better scoring. The greens are HUGE and have some good slope to them. On and off showers throughout the round added a little difficulty, slowed down the ball, and made it stick to the green when using wedges.
Driving range was in decent shape, and I was able to swing off the grass instead of driving mats. The proshop was well equipped, and the restaurant had great "golf" food.
I really enjoyed my time, and will definitely play this course again for the $10.

I booked my tee time on Golf Now for 1pm on a Saturday, and arrived about 30 minutes early to check-in. I had left my phone in the car with my clubs while I went to check-in, but I was told they could not check me in without my Golf Now confirmation number (I've booked 50+ tee times through golf now and have never once been asked for this, so I assume it pops right up on their computer screen...). So I went back and got my phone from the car. Slightly annoying, but not a huge deal.

I had paid in full for 2 golfers, however my friend couldn't make it, so it ended up being just me. That being said, I wasn't worried about a refund, but I did ask if I could get a power cart since I'd be the only one playing and had paid for 2 (didn't seem like a crazy request..)

This is when things really went downhill. I was (condescendingly) told how much people 'normally pay' to play at this course on the weekends, and then was told "you probably only paid; what?; $10-12 dollars per person for your round today? I think you already got a pretty good deal, so no, it'd be $20 for a cart."

I figured I may have to pay for a cart, and that was fine, but the way in which I was treated (like some kind of second class golfer) was a reason I may not be a returning customer.

I have been wanting to play this course since arriving in the area 2 weeks ago. Finally took advantage of the great weather and price. With all I saved I decided to rent a cart, but it is easily walkable except for the big hill on #15. I would have liked to play with someone else but the course was very quiet. I used my Sonocaddie GPS, but the course has changed recently so not all holes were accurate. I had plated this course over 10 years ago when it was barely better than a cow pasture, this was a big improvement.
I look forward to playing again, hopefully with my husband who is fishing for salmon every day.

It had rained hard the day before we played so the course was some what wet makeing the rough very difficult. We played at 1:00 PM on a sunny day yet
the greens were very wet and in need of moweing. Same for the tee boxes. Very nice club house but they need to maintain the course better. I will likely not play again.

The weather did not cooperate, so the course was a little wet. However, it was still fun to play. The people in the club house and restaurant were very friendly. We would definitely play again.

I got lucky and played the last nice day of the summer. The only thing I can critique them on is that they seem to over water. It has been one of the warmest and driest summers on record but there were alot of mushy areas and even had a ball plug near the second green. I also played 18 alone and finished in 3 hrs. This course is worth the money even if you don't get the hot rate.

Good course except for bumpy ride on the back nine.

This is an old timey course. 50+ years old. It isn't like on TV! Narrow, undulating fairways, small greens. This is perfectly acceptable as long as you know this. You're at 68ft above sea level, in marine air, so the course plays about 300-400yds longer than what the card says. EASILY! Tricky holes. Carry this, stop on that, you get the point.. One hole on back is UNPLAYABLE! A par 3. You will know it when you see it. Played it 4 times now ( I"m 71 yrs old and a 7 hdcp) but iy plays sooo much longer than the yardage. Fun.....

Playing the course was fun especially number 15!! Course had great conditions despite the rain.

Alderbrook is fantastic. I'm not a great golfer but I'm an avid and dedicated one. I will definitely drive back to the beach to play this course. It is a beautiful setting and is beautifully maintained. Dan in the pro shop is friendly and knowledgeable. My friend and loved the course despite the very challenging greens. They are like PGA greens they are perfect green monsters. And then there is the 15th hole. That's all I'm saying but conserve your energy. We will definitely play again before the rains arrive! Do yourself a favor, enjoy a drive to Tillamook and play a round at Alderbrook.

A nice moderate course with some challenging elevation changes. The green tend to be elevated with makes for the need to throw some darts and make them stick to keep your score low.

My husband and I walked 18 on a sunny Sunday and I really enjoyed the course. Pace of play was good as traffic was light. Good walking course but for two holes, one was a backtrack to the tee box and the other was a par 3 that had the steepest climb to an elevated green I've ever seen. Fun at the next tee box to hit from elevation. Fairways were in overall good condition, some dry bare spots. Good and lots of rough and greens were good, many undulations made for thoughtful putting. Generous fairways mostly, a few creeks crossing them and nice setting with no homes along fairways. I would love to play again but not sure hubby is ready.

Wish we could have played the front nine but it was closed due to repaving the cart paths.

I didn't get any discount on my round of golf. I could have saved my GolfNow fee if I would have booked my tee time on my own. I will be checking normal rates on all courses from now on. Overall......awesome course!!!!

This was an extremely fun course. DO NOT let the yardage fool you. By my estimate it plays 300-400 yds longer than the card. 1st: you're at sea level, with heavy marine air, fairways that have longer grass than you expect (probably because of the salt air). Also, imagine your home course greens, and then divide that size by 3 maybe 4, postage stamp size. Also MANY are elevated 1-2 ft above the fairways ALL the way around, so if you miss one, chipping is very, very tricky! We had a blast! Tricky, have to place your shots (tee shots also) between mature overhanging trees. Was in nice condition, staff VERY friendly, we'll be back. I shot 77, but I HAD to concentrate on EVERY shot.

We had lunch at Koko's restaurant before our tee time. The service was great and the food very tasty. The course was a bit of a challenge. There are a couple of holes that were easier and some a bit harder. But, overall a beautiful course with great views from to top of the hill. We are looking forward to going back again this summer!

This was a nice course. It is well maintained and the greens were in great shape shape. The course is not the longest but the greens and the their rolling contours made most of the hole plenty challenging.

Course was an enjoyable experience with a couple of interesting Par 3 greens. No. 8 has undulating greens with a swale in the middle. No. 15 is played with @ a 100 yd ascent from tee box to green from the forward tees. Overall the coarse was well maintained and had enough challenges to keep you guessing.
Staff was very pleasant and helpful. They made me feel very welcome there.

Ok, this place has been re-done, the front 9 and the facilities are first class. The back 9 is a disaster. They really need to re-do it, maybe they are...the fairways are really bad and the greens worse. But even more frustrating is the layout...back and forth, then oh wait, back and back again with no 'forth' - have to see for yourself to understand. One hole on the back is really great though...straight up hill....we used every club in our bag and couldn't get it on the green! FUN. Easy walk.
