Florence Golf Links

Nik is very helpful…but I don’t know about that Chris

Always enjoy playing here while visiting the coast

I've played Florence Golf Links (Sand Pines) many times. It is a challenging links style costal course and fun to play. It wraps through dunes and trees, walk from green to the next tee box is easy except for a slight uphill track from 9 to 10. Recommended if you get a chance to visit Florence.

I love the layout getting the link’s style effect.
It has gotten a little worn I fear due to staffing. A full restaurant and bar open when we play would be nice.
In truth I can afford to play unless I am with someone who got a special price. To expensive and add the drive from the Eugene area.

I have played this course many times over the years. It is one of my favorites for several reasons. I live in Eugene and in the winter and spring this is the only mostly dry course in our area. The course is competitive yet not to difficult for high handicap players. The lay out is beautiful and it is just a fun place to play. I wish the restaurant was open, the food was good, and it was a nice place to unwind after a round.

Absolutely stunning course!!! Entire course and practice facility were immaculate. Perfect pro feel greens, huge open links with forgiveness but a challenge for off shots, stunningly large greens fast and challenging to read but perfectly challenging.

Definitely no mud problem, sand traps are beach sand super soft to hit out but not to many to be frustrating.

We had amazing weather with little wind, which is rare for the coast, but either way.

Can't wait to play this course again!

I played this course in late January. The weather was amazing for this time of year. 60 degrees sunny with a little wind. The greens were surprisingly quick. The fairways were dry and firm. The greens were a little tough to read since I hadn't played here in 30 years. All in all a fun course to play. Looks like it would be extremely tough if it was windy.

We really enjoyed playing the course with it being firm and fast. We had played the course previously, when it was maintained more as a parkland course, wet & green, even though the layout is a links style. While the course isn’t as pretty & green as it use to be, it now plays much more like a true links course should be.
I was sorry that they had to shorten the 7th hole because of mother nature blowing sand on the old green. But hopefully they will find a solution to control the blowing sand, which will allow them return the hole to its original design.
The staff was friendly & helpful. While the restaurant was no longer in operation, they do have a snack counter.
If you enjoy links style golf, I think you will enjoy this course.

Can’t imagine how glorious it was in its prime, I love the settings coastal pines and some rural feel to it but hurry new homes are being built near some fairways already. I had a great time!

We played there today and I was appalled at the condition of the course. Living an hour away, I used to play here two or three times a year. No more. Huge expanses of no grass in the fairways…had to move the ball on almost every shot in order to hit. As a result I can’t honestly post today’s score on GHIN. Greens were OK, but Tee boxes and fairways were awful, really awful. Hard to believe that they’ve let this beautiful course go.

I always enjoy visiting this course, I travel from New York to Florence twice a year to play this course with friends. It is a fun layout that needs various shot making to play. The course is always in good playing conditions. The clubhouse staff are excellent. I enjoy the food, drink and attention to detail so that you leave healthy and happy. I always enjoy playing the course and the 19th hole. It is exciting to find an all around great experience. Just look at the picture I attached and realize that it always looks like this.

Loved the course layout, routing, pace of play, ability to walk, and friendliness of staff...all top-rated! My wife and I both very much enjoyed playing the course; we would gladly play it again. The greens are huge and were rolling fairly consistently. There was a lot of blotchy, dead grass on the fairways and around the greens; the tee boxes had issues but we could always find a small patch of grass for the tee. All in all, a good day on the links!

After missing last year we took the one hour plus trip to play the former Sandpines golf course. Sadly the nice course departed with the nice name. A tremendous downgrade. Bare spots in fairways ( disease?) all over. Weeds, not native grass, growing in sand traps. Tees were mostly bare ground. Greens not bad but course shows neglect big time. Rumor has it that real estate developers purchased it and some evidence of that with the unnatural encroachment near #8 green.

Sad as it was one of my top ten in Oregon. Will not play it again as it is.

You guys faulted on my tee time.

THEY HAD NO RECORD OF MY TEE TIME.

THAT SUCKED TO HAVE TO GO TO THE PRO SHOP AND CONFIRM MY TEE TIME.

DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN.
