Want a free sleeve of golf balls? Make sure you read to the bottom – it’s easy (could take you less than 3 minutes – No catch).

From Portland to Bandon, here’s what your summer golf budget can buy across four price points.

Oregon doesn’t always top the lists for golf trips—but it should. With mountain views, ocean air, and cool temps all summer long, it might be the most underrated state for public golf.

Here’s what your summer golf budget gets you across four price points—from a $50 muni to one of the most iconic golf resorts on the planet.

💸 $50 — Heron Lakes (Portland)

• Course: Great Blue Course

• Green Fee: ~$50 walking

• Vibe: Championship-level muni

• Why Play It: Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., this course has hosted USGA qualifiers and NCAA events. It’s long, tough, and sneaky scenic.

• Bonus: Twilight rates make it one of the best golf deals in the Pacific Northwest.

💵 $125 — Aspen Lakes (Sisters, OR)

• Green Fee: $100 + $20 cart = $120–$125

• Vibe: Red sand bunkers + snow-capped mountain views

• Why Play It: This course feels custom-built for summer golf. It’s laid-back, playable, and absolutely stunning.

• Pro Tip: Go early to beat the wind and grab lunch on the deck after your round.

💳 $250 — Pronghorn (Nicklaus Course, Bend)

• Green Fee: $199 + cart = ~$250

• Vibe: High desert championship layout

• Why Play It: It’s Jack Nicklaus design at altitude. Massive elevation changes, lava rock outcroppings, and pure conditions. A luxury round without full resort pricing.

• Good to Know: You can book without staying on property—just plan ahead.

💰 $370 — Bandon Dunes (Coastal Oregon)

• Course: Pick your poison—Bandon, Pacific, Trails, Sheep Ranch

• Green Fee: $370 (summer rate)

• Vibe: Bucket list

• Why Play It: You already know. Wind, dunes, fescue, and walk-only links that transport you to Scotland. Expensive, yes—but worth every penny.

• Pro Move: Book 36 in one day. Second round is half-price. Walk 'til your legs fall off.

Summary

Summer in Oregon is a golfer’s dream. Whether you’re chasing budget value, a mid-tier mountain getaway, or a once-in-a-lifetime walk at Bandon, the spectrum here is legit.

Pick your price, pack your clubs, and go get it.
