A Great Day for Golf – Tokatee Golf Club
October 29, 2007
By Larry Moran
It’s a beautiful Sunday morning in mid-October. The choices are to organize the workshop after the summer projects, or go GOLFING! After weighing the options for about a second, this past Sunday I drove from Eugene up Hwy 126, along the McKenzie River, to play golf at Tokatee Golf Club. It was a lovely clear morning after a couple of days of rain, and I was early enough to catch the sunrise as I arrived at the course.
Tokatee has often been described as the most beautiful place to play golf in Oregon, and I couldn’t agree more. The course is set in lightly rolling terrain in the Cascade Foothills, with The Three Sisters mountains overlooking the valley. At this time of year there is an abundance of fall colors – yellows and reds – and the light is perfect for golf. I was lucky enough to have the course to myself for the first few holes, and really enjoyed sharing it with a variety of birds, many of which seemed not to care that there was someone knocking small balls at them apparently at random.
