Golfing is a fun day activity for the whole family to enjoy in Eugene’s usual summer sunshine at a fairly reasonable price. Whether you’re hoping to play a long game or just hit it off at the driving range, there are a few places that can get you out there hitting in no time.
Located on 2700 Columbia Street and just 1.5 miles away from the University of Oregon, Laurelwood Gold Course is the closest@@http://golflaurelwood.com/@@. Golfers can play 18 holes for $25 or nine holes for $15 on a green lined with trees. Power-carts are available for rent as well as clubs and equipment. To book a tee time or check specials, check out their website at golflaurelwood.com.
Oakway Golf, five miles from the UO, is another course offering 18 holes at $24 and nine holes at $16 on weekends. Clubs can be rented for $7 and pull-carts for $3 —@@i don’t have m-dashes on this computer at home@@ but you won’t find power carts here. No reservations are needed to golf, however, and there are special rates for seniors. For more information, log onto oakwaygolf.com.
The furthest course from the UO, Fiddler’s Green, is 10 miles away but offers the lowest price. The green features a flat, 18-hole course, a lighted and covered driving range (perfect for those rainy Eugene days) and putting as well as chipping greens. Summer rates vary from $8 to $15 depending on the number of holes, and golfers can also rent clubs for $3.50 and carts for $3. Reservations are also not necessary to golf this green but go to fiddlersgreen.com/golfcourse.com for more information.@@gag@@
