Elkhorn Valley Golf Course Tee Times

I had the distinct pleasure of being Tony's 1st ever camper! Because of this the red carpet was rolled out for me (as much as there could possibly be out here in the sticks) starting with an escourted drive to what Tony thought was his prime site (agreed - but I think any site here would be prime!), followed by a pile of seasoned firewood brought to my site AND the fire started for me. Hung for the night tied to 2 towering pine trees. This was 2 years ago during a cross-country trek and I hope to come back one day soon to see if there's been any progress on the campground, and re-introduce myself to Tony. He shared his vision for a beautiful GC->CG conversion that would one day be glorious. Anyways, at the time I stayed there it was as primitive as it gets, and I liked that very much. Honestly, I hope he keeps as close to primitive as he can afford.

I visited Elkhorn Valley Golf Course in late September for a late morning tee time and my group and I were the only ones on the course. The rates were fair compared to other courses in the area. It had been raining so the course was a little soggy in areas which was to be expected, but the greens were very poorly maintained. Many had standing water on them, and about half were torn up by gopher holes. The staff was very friendly and accommodating, but it seems as though the course has seen better days and hopefully is on the up and up. The surrounding area is beautiful and makes a great setting for golf, and it's easily accessible from the mid Willamette valley.

Such a beautiful course! The staff have been working really hard and it shows. The greens look really good as well. It is still a little wet due to the recent snowfall but the course played extremely well for this time of year. I would say even better than some local city courses.The weather was sunny and being out in the woods is so relaxing. I will definitely be back!

First time playing Elkhorn in a few years, couldn't have been more disappointed. Myself and 2 others that I met at the course were the only ones on the course for most of the morning. After playing it was very easy to understand why, the course is virtually unplayable. Tee boxes and greens hadn't been mowed in I dont know how long, mushrooms growing a couple greens, and it was a holiday weekend. I am lucky enough to have played elkhorn when it was rated as one of the top 9 hole courses in the country by golf digest. My suggestion is they get back to that focus because obviously 18 holes is too much to handle for the present owner.

I really wanted to like this course, especially after seeing a beautiful video of the course's layout and how challenging it seemed, but that definitely was not the case after playing there this Saturday. First off the staff was incredibly rude and gave us the look like we had no business being there. They claimed that we lost the course $800 for reasons we can't even think of. They didn't want to give us two golf carts at first even though rules for covid should be implemented, and the price was definitely way too high for such a poorly kept course. Like I mentioned the course was in really bad shape. There were patches of grass in the tee box making your stance incredibly awkward. Patches of dirt and grass all throughout the fairway, sand was dirty and felt like mud, greens had areas with no grass and just dirt, holes were filled with dirty water and did not adhere to covid safety guidelines. As much as I would've loved playing here and coming back, I firmly wouldn't come back to this course and would not recommend anyone else play here.
