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.

Good golf course

I have played this course many times over the years. It is one of my favorites for several reasons. I live in Eugene and in the winter and spring this is the only mostly dry course in our area. The course is competitive yet not to difficult for high handicap players. The lay out is beautiful and it is just a fun place to play. I wish the restaurant was open, the food was good, and it was a nice place to unwind after a round.

Links style golf.

We really enjoyed playing the course with it being firm and fast. We had played the course previously, when it was maintained more as a parkland course, wet & green, even though the layout is a links style. While the course isn’t as pretty & green as it use to be, it now plays much more like a true links course should be.

I was sorry that they had to shorten the 7th hole because of mother nature blowing sand on the old green. But hopefully they will find a solution to control the blowing sand, which will allow them return the hole to its original design.

The staff was friendly & helpful. While the restaurant was no longer in operation, they do have a snack counter.

If you enjoy links style golf, I think you will enjoy this course.

Florence Golf Course

We really enjoyed the course. We started at 1:30pm. We did not wait at all. The front 9 was protected from the wind due to the abundance of trees. The back nine was very windy: about 17mph. We had fun and will play again.

Fun course

Enjoyed the wide fairways. Really challenging par threes. Greens putted smoothly with some interesting breaks. Would definitely play again when in the area. Staff was very friendly and accommodating.
