“Though renovated throughout the years, Gearhart fittingly provides an old world golf experience representative to that which is found in the games birthplace. Due to its rugged coastal climate and weathered course features, Gearhart closely
resembles what you'd expect to find in a European links. Despite no actual ocean views, there's
no mistaking that you're directly inland from the Pacific surf; you can smell
the ocean air, see the marine fog and feel the swirling winds of land's end.
To the east and south there are vistas of forested
foothills and distant rocky cliffs.
“Thanks to its long history and strong parallels to the origins of the game, Gearhart is an impressionable golf venue with a timeless mystique and a staple in the wide spectrum of Northwest golf.
“Large berms and knolls exist throughout the course. The course length and layout favors precision over distance, with short yardage and many narrow fairway cuts. The roughs are mainly lined with short, scraggly pines, and the grounds
are otherwise rather open. Fairway and greenside bunkers are a common feature here,
ranging from shallow to deep-set depth. Logically, the traps are filled with beach sand
and play heavy, but very soft. There's no water on the course
aside from the Par-4 5th and 7th holes. The greens are
very small and often tightly placed between
large mounds of earth and
bunkers of sand. Their surfaces remain
in great shape with true rolls and fast speeds amid a typical array of sloping.
“Gearhart Golf Links' sand base makes for excellent drainage, and the encircling condo-motel units provide considerable shelter from the coastal winds. The golf course is generally wide open, easy to walk, and a pleasure to play.”
“A very nice course. The greens are smallish and the bunkers are very well placed.
A must play if you are in the area. Great happy hour too!”
