General Course Description\"Chehalem<\/a><\/h2>\n

Chehalem Glenn Golf Club is an attractive and well-maintained public 18-hole course just east of Newberg. Chehalem Glenn Golf Club has an interesting variety of holes with trees, hills (and valleys), and water. Revisions to holes 9, 12, and 17 have taken the edge off the course and made it a faster play. Forward tees help with distances and angles. Walkable, but a good workout.<\/p>\n

Course History<\/h2>\n

Opened in 2005, with a redesign of holes 9, 12, and 17 occurring in 2014.<\/p>\n

Why It Is There\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

In 1995, a local developer donated to the Chehalem Park and Recreation District the land that would become the front 9. The District then purchased the land that would become the back 9.<\/p>\n

I Wish I Would Have Known Before I Played<\/h2>\n

Hole 6 has a very small landing area, where hidden traps are on the left of the fairway and there is a drop off to the right on the right side of the fairway. Laying up to the 150 pole is not a bad option. Same thought for the 11th hole, a seemingly short par 4, that is very narrow with trouble all around. Even though it is a steep uphill from the environmentally sensitive area you have the clear on your drive, driving to just beyond the 150 pole may be the way to go.<\/p>\n

Did You Know<\/h2>\n

When it opened, the course had the highest course rating (154) in the state.<\/p>\n

Good For Them\"\"<\/a><\/h2>\n

The course uses reclaimed water for irrigation. In the environmentally sensitive zones there is a lot of hand weeding and when pesticides are used, there is monitoring of its effect on non-targeted plants.\u00a0 The course hosts junior camps, participates in PGA Junior League, and has reduced rates for students (with free club rental), The course is the home course for Newberg, Sherwood, and CS Lewis High Schools, as well as George Fox College (and its very good women’s team). In addition, the course works with local high school horticultural classes on maintenance and improvements.<\/p>\n

Why Play This Course<\/h2>\n

Good course, especially for the price, with a great practice area. The friendly attitude of the staff, the great practice facilities, and environmental efforts are pluses.<\/p>\n
