Escape to breathtaking Central Oregon Coast, where Florence beckons golfers with two exceptional 18-hole links-style courses, set among magnificent forests, dunes, and water features. Whether you’re a longtime golfer or just starting out, Florence offers challenges and charm for all skill levels, making it a memory-making destination for golf enthusiasts.
Florence is home to Ocean Dunes Golf Links at Three Rivers Casino Resort and Florence Golf Links (formerly Sandpines). Both public courses are meticulously maintained and open year-round, offering you the perfect opportunity to play whenever the mood strikes. When Central Oregon courses are snowed-in or iced-over (or scorching hot), and the valley courses are too crowded or too soggy to enjoy, Florence shines. Built on sandy terrain, these courses dry out quickly between our occasional showers, ensuring ideal playing conditions throughout the year.
Imagine teeing off surrounded by rolling dunes, navigating fairways bordered by towering evergreens, and perfecting your putt alongside serene lakes. Both courses bring to mind the storied courses of Scotland, the Carolinas, and coastal California. The natural beauty of Florence’s courses is unparalleled, creating a sensory experience that goes beyond the game. After all, there is no better air than what comes in off the Pacific Ocean. Locals like to say: “There’s no bad weather, just bad clothing choices!” So pack accordingly and get ready for the best rounds of your life in Oregon’s Coastal Playground.
Planning your golf getaway to Florence is easier than ever, thanks to the many local lodgings that offer enticing stay-and-play packages. Enjoy comfortable accommodations, excellent dining options, and proximity to the courses, making your trip as convenient as it is memorable.
And when you’re not on the green, Florence’s charming waterfront Historic Old Town is full of shops, galleries, and delicious food-and-beverage destinations. Within minutes you can also enjoy miles of scenic beaches and other expansive outdoor activities—sandboarding, ATV riding, professionally-driven (and thrilling) sand rail rides, horseback riding, hiking ancient forest waterfall trails, beachcombing, kayaking, fishing, crabbing… you get the idea. Prefer the indoors? Check out exciting gaming at Three Rivers Casino, local history at the Siuslaw Pioneer Museum, or military history at the Oregon Coast Military History Museum.
The Florence area provides endless entertainment for you and your travel companions. And don’t forget the seasonal events like January’s Winter Music Festival, the tasty Wine, Chowder & Glass Float Trail Weekend in February, the small-town pageantry of mid-May’s Rhododendron Festival, July 4 festivities, storm and whale watching seasons, and December’s Holiday Festival. And there’s always something happening at the Florence Events Center.
With its year-round playability, striking scenery, and welcoming atmosphere, Florence is more than just a golf destination—it’s Oregon’s Coastal Playground—a place to create lasting memories.
