Laurelwood is a perfect course for a scratch golfer who wants a chill day on a scenic course. You won't see any uppity marshals or starters here, but you'll see a lot of very obedient dogs following their owners, who play every day. The course is very well maintained, much improved from yesteryears. What has never changed is the topography- rolling hills and gullies, excellent views.

It has about three par three's, and two par 5's. Depending on your game, and control of a fade, you might be better off using a 3 wood off the tee box except for #1 and #4. Laurelwood also has a fantastic pub/restaurant with lots of Covid-friendly outdoor seating.

If you don't like Eugene in genera for political reasons, this is not the course for you. It's a bit rustic, but always beautiful. The flip side is also true. It's an amazingly fun, very hilly course, with great dogs (the very good boys and girls) in tow at times. It is exceptionally well maintained for a city course with a lot of green staff- this was not always the case. I like to golf a lot, and Laurelwood makes it a hard case to make a 25 minute drive out of town to play at top-level courses that host US Amateurs, because it's so cool. Hilly, long, a few freebies, and super chill. Also has an amazing pub restaurant that rivals Bandon Dunes.
