With more than 200 golf courses to choose from inOregon, many award-winning, it was not an easy task to whittle them down to just three. The purpose of our planned trip, though, was to test our skills on links-style courses, as well as to review the associated lodgings and restaurants. So, eventually, we made our selection and plotted a route from eastern Oregon to the coast, with an average drive time of three and a half hours between stays.
