This short, hilly 18-hole public course at Chinook Winds Golf Resort rests on the north side of Lincoln City on the Oregon Coast (but no ocean views). In addition to the fairway undulations (OK, hills), the course has a number of trees and ponds and creeks to make for some interesting holes. Recent years have seen improvement in drainage and fairway maintenance.\u00a0 The small and mostly tilted greens roll well and consistently. Course design feels a little forced to fit into the allotted space. But the staff at Chinook Winds Golf Resort is very nice, and they have a great indoor driving range (perfect for the rainy Oregon Coast). If you walk the course, you will get a good workout.<\/p>\n
The course was originally a 9-hole course built in 1926 by Reed Sanderson, Frank Frandsen, and BW Jones as part of a proposed resort.\u00a0 The designer of the course is unknown, with one publication stating that the original design was by “the members.” By 1987, the course had 13 holes. By 1988, it was expanded to 18 (the owner at the time was Carl Mason, who was probably the designer). The course has had many names, including Devil’s Lake, Lakeside, Roosevelt GC, and now Chinook Winds.<\/p>\n
