Tokatee Golf Club
Tokatee Golf Club offers an accessible 18-hole public course set against the lush backdrop of Oregon's Cascade foothills. Known for its fast greens, scenic vistas, and friendly atmosphere, it provides an inviting round for golfers of all skill levels within an hour of Eugene and Springfield.
Course Overview
Perched along the banks of the McKenzie River in Oregon’s Cascade foothills, Tokatee Golf Club offers an 18-hole public layout that artfully balances natural beauty with approachable play. The course weaves through dense stands of Douglas firs and open meadows, framed by distant snow-capped peaks that provide a striking visual backdrop at nearly every turn. With fairways cut tight and generous landing areas, Tokatee invites golfers of varying abilities to engage with its thoughtfully designed doglegs and well-placed hazards without overwhelming them.
Tokatee’s condition frequently draws praise, especially considering the region's abundant rainfall. The maintenance team keeps the turf pristine with fast, true greens and crisp fairways that reward precise approach shots and strategic course management. Though it’s not a course that demands prodigious length, subtle elevation changes and occasional wind shifts test decision-making, particularly on mid-length par 4s. Golfers will appreciate the straightforward routing and visibility of trouble spots, allowing confident shot shaping and risk-reward choices.
The course is entirely walkable, with well-maintained paths winding through a landscape that embraces the Northwest’s temperate climate. Walking here feels like a steady rhythm, punctuated by the gentle murmur of the river nearby. Golf carts are also available, offering an alternative for those who prefer to conserve energy for their swings.
Tokatee Golf Club extends an unpretentious yet welcoming atmosphere through its friendly staff and a clubhouse outfitted with a casual bar and dining area. Refreshments and hearty food complement a day on the course, with panoramic views that linger long after the last hole.
For players traveling from Eugene or Springfield, Tokatee blends scenic serenity with solid golf fundamentals. It’s well-suited for those seeking a quality round without the pressure of elite-level difficulty, making every visit feel like a rewarding chance to refine one’s game while absorbing one of Oregon’s most stunning natural settings.
Course Highlights
Tokatee’s signature appeal lies in its spectacular setting alongside the McKenzie River and views of the Cascades.

I don't get up here as often as I should, but was reminded today why it is a special place. I played 18 holes and enjoyed every minute of it, despite my often less than stellar skills. The course is in superb condition right now. This is doubly impressive given how wet things have been this spring and the maintenance challenges that other courses in the area are having. Greens are fast and true, fairways cut tight with plenty of roll. The map on the scorecard can be helpful if you're new to playing here, but this is a pretty straightforward layout. Most of the trouble is easy to see, the fairways are reasonably wide, and it's not an overly long course.

Most scenic course in the U.S. Another great day at Tokatee golf course up the McKenzie River(3/11/22). Rates are now $69 for 18($63 on Fr,Sa, Su). Carts are $20. 10 time punch cards are $480. Course is fantastic shape, and staff is friendliest I've encountered.

Tokatee is by far the best public golf course within an hour drive of Eugene Springfield area. The views of the snowy mountaintops in the distance. The tight cut fairways and The greens during the summer are fast!! Make sure to take some practice putts before you head out! The food at their bar is amazing and the staff are always upbeat and friendly!! I have been out there a couple times this year already plan on playing there a few more times before summer ends!!
