The Oregon Golf Club

Overview: The Oregon Golf Club is a private West Linn course perched above the Willamette Valley. The routing moves between open ground and forested terrain, using the natural slopes of Pete’s Mountain to create varied lies, elevated views and demanding approach angles. From the black tees it plays to par 72 at 7,052 yards, with shorter tees offering a more manageable version of the same design.

History: The course opened in 1992 and is credited to Peter Jacobsen and Kenneth Kavanaugh. It became part of the Portland-area private golf landscape as a course built around the topography rather than a flat suburban grid, and its continuing identity is tied to the mountain setting and the broad valley views.

Did You Know? The course has also appeared in professional tournament schedules, including the Portland Classic, but the target here is the private 18-hole club in West Linn. The address on Pete’s Mountain Road prevents confusion with public courses using the broader “Oregon Golf” name.
