Sandpines #16
Signature hole #16. Your tee shot must be left center to avoid the Scottish style bunkers on the right. The green is surrounded by hazards. Water, deep bunkers, and rough are waiting. The massive coastal sand dunes can be seen in the distance.

Another Great Deal from TeeOff/ Golf Now

An excellent course made more than excellent for the deal I got from TeeOff via my Annual Pass.

The course was in an excellent condition, especially since it’s a links course as I was expecting something less than what it really is. It’s undoubtedly affected by typical Oregon Coastal winds, occasional fog and of course the seasonal wet conditions, However there was no fog and no rain today but the wind was ever present which made for a less than optimal game for me. However, I really enjoyed this course and would recommend it to those who don’t mind the wind as much.

Surprise additional expense; BEWARE!

Have played this course MANY times. This was the fourth time I have played on a Golfnow Hot deal during COVID. This was the FIRST time they have charged additional $$ for a second cart. Not just a small stipend, it cost me $36 dollars extra! You need to add details to your Hot Deal now letting people know in advance that they will only provide ONE golf cart with the Hot Deal. Had I known I would have brought my push cart and walked.

Windless day at Florence Golf Links

Today was the second time, out of seven visits, that there was little to no wind. It really changes how the course plays, although I have personally scored similar in high winds here. It was a welcome change though, in terms of weather.

The course was yet again, in fantastic condition. From tee to green, and everything in between. We did have to wait for a decent period of time for a cart, which we shared as we drove 2 1/2 hours together to play here (if others would do the same, others wouldn't have to wait on your carts to be cleaned and turned around). That is not a fault of the staff, that is selfishness from other players.

The staff was friendly during check-in at the pro shop, Steve and Sandy were their typical happy and smiling selves, even under some pressure to get carts turned around for those who were waiting. Even with that, the groups ahead of us, ourselves and the groups behind us were all able to tee off at our designated times.

Yet again, another fantastic round at Florence Golf Links. 5/5, 10/10, 100/100 to all the staff involved at Florence Golf Links - look forward to the next opportunity to play this track!

SOOO disappointed!!!!

My buddies and I have been going here for years. I travel 2 1/2 hours from Portland to play this course about 4 times per year. It WAS that good. We made the trip yesterday because the weather was going to be amazing. And it was. Sunny, warm and low winds. Excited to play.

The first thing I noticed was that the putting green was a little shaggy and slow. uh-oh.....Normally the greens are amazing here, smooth and true. Maybe the rest of the courses greens would be different? It wasn't. Bumpy, slow and brown in places. You could see the ball bounce on every putt. The fairways weren't much better. On top of all of that, they charged $85.00. (I would gladly pay that rate if the course was in the condition I have come to expect) I should have stayed home and played Pumpkin Ridge or Langdon Farms for that cost...I heard that the course was recently purchased and it seems like the new owners don't give a dang. Not sure I will make the trip again. Very disappointed.
