These two rented clubs on a warm day in June to play their first round
of golf ever.
The property started off as a chicken ranch, I don't
know when. There is an aerial photo at their place showing it as a ranch.
The wife at the time was depressed to move onto a ranch, so she wanted
to do something different - they built a couple holes. Friends came over,
and gradually they built more. Their place has a framed Oregonian article
from 1989...headline described it as 'picturesque'. - Kurt Wilkie, 6/27/03

My take on it is that it doesn't have any goofy or
unusual features about it, but it's appeal is that it feels homemade,
and you do feel like you are entering someone's home. |

If the 1st tee has a backup, here's something to do! |

Alamo - 116 yards. |
