Salishan Golf Links

A Peter Jacobsen masterpiece where old-growth forest meets coastal links golf with views that'll steal your breath.

About the Course

Salishan Golf Links sits in a magical pocket of the Oregon Coast where towering Douglas firs give way to dramatic bay views. The front nine weaves through dense coastal forest on rolling terrain, demanding precision off tight fairways before you cross Highway 101 to discover something entirely different. The back nine opens up dramatically—a true links-style experience with Siletz Bay shimmering below, wind providing honest feedback, and bunkers that demand respect. Designed originally in the 1960s but masterfully restored in 2004 by Oregon golf legend Peter Jacobsen and his firm Jacobsen-Hardy, the course plays to 6,400 yards from the tips with a par of 71. What makes Salishan special is its authenticity—fast greens, merciless roughs that punish errant shots, and a pace of play that keeps things moving. You'll shoot honest scores here, the kind you remember years later. The course sits right on the Salishan Coastal Lodge property, making this a true resort experience without the pretension of high-end links courses down the coast.

Why It's Great for Groups
  • Peter Jacobsen-designed course with back-nine ocean views overlooking Siletz Bay—Pacific Northwest coastal golf at its finest

  • Complete resort experience with on-property spa, four restaurants, aerial park, tennis, and indoor golf simulator all in one place
  • Walking-friendly course with genuine character where the fairways punish sloppy shots and demand strategic play

Best Time to Visit
June through September offers the most reliable weather, though Oregon Coast fog and wind are typical even in summer. Late August and September provide the warmest temperatures (around 70°F) with minimal rain. Fall (October) is excellent but can be wet. Winter is playable but expect fog, wind, and frequent rain—the course drains well even after heavy rainfall, making it year-round accessible. Many golfers love playing here in summer to escape valley heat (it's often 30°F cooler than inland areas). Avoid expecting balmy beach weather; bring layers and expect coastal conditions regardless of season.
