Description
Astoria Golf and Country Club is a private member owned club that features one of the more enjoyable and memorable golf courses in the state of Oregon, as well as one of the best classic golf courses in the country. Designed by George Junior and Charles Haldeman and completed in 1924, Astoria offers a memorable and scenic layout that takes full advantage of the rolling sand dunes that define the Clatsop Plains.
Astoria GCC is highly regarded among golf course raters who have consistently acknowledged the genius of its unique design. In 1997 GolfWeek Magazine ranked the course #89 in the Top 100 Classic Courses in the United States. By comparison, the North Course at Olympia Fields near Chicago, IL, which hosted the 2003 US Open, was ranked #86 that year by the same publication, just 3 spots ahead of Astoria.
In 1937 Astoria GCC first hosted the prestigious Oregon Coast Invitational Tournament, one of the northwest’s premier amateur golf events and the second oldest tournament in Oregon. Astoria GCC became the tournament’s permanent home in 1950. Nearly 400 golfers from around the northwest and other parts of the country converge annually on the Oregon Coast for this unique 8-day match play tournament which also includes several social events, fine dining featuring exquisite food, a family night, three nights of live music, and a fulfilling week of camaraderie and competitive golf on a fantastic championship caliber course.
The golf course is enjoyed by all levels and types of golfers. Its unique layout, wind and weather conditions, and small, quick greens, make Astoria fun yet challenging for all players. It is truly a course you could play for the rest of your life and never get bored with it.
We hope you enjoy your next round at Astoria Golf and Country Club – “The St. Andrews of the Pacific”.
