Fall Is the Perfect Time to Play Golf SEPTEMBER 2018 FALL GOLF IN AND AROUND THE NW No shortage of places in the NW to play quality fall golf The Pacific Northwest is loaded with courses where fall golf is as good as its gets - from places like Leavenworth Golf Course (right) and Columbia Point in the Tri- Cities (far right). See inside for more. Palouse in the fall: Play some golf and watch the Cougars There might not be a better combination when August turns into September than fall golf and football. At places like Pullman, Wash. you can play the award-winning Palouse Ridge Golf Club (right) and then take in a game at Martin Stadium featuring the Washington State Cougars (left). There is plenty to like about fall in the Pacific Northwest - when you combine golf trips with some football games, you have it all. Fall is the perfect time to play golf Maybe the best time of year to play golf in the Northwest is in fall, the weather is cooperative, the days are still long, the course conditions are at their best having all summer to groom them and the pace of play is better. Places like Glendoveer Golf & Tennis in Portland (right), Juniper Golf Club in Redmond, Ore. (lower left) and Ka’anapali Resort on the island of Maui (lower right), are great options in the fall. Fall is the last change to get in some quality golf before the weather changes.

From the changing colors of the trees to perhaps a glimpse of snow along the pass, the seasons are definitely changing once September and October roll around. Here’s a brief look at some choices when you travel over the mountains. Leavenworth Golf Course Leavenworth Golf Course reached a milestone during the 2017 golf season as the Central Washington golf course turned 90 years old. The golf course opened in 1927 and is one of the oldest golf courses in the Pacific Northwest. It all started more than 90 years ago in Leavenworth with six holes and sand greens.

  • Port Royal Golf & Racquet Club Launches Footgolf
    HERITAGE GOLF GROUP FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE In the Press FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FOR INFORMATION SEPTEMBER 22, 2014 Brady Boyd (843) 681-1703 PORT ROYAL GOLF & RACQUET CLUB ANNOUNCES THE LAUNCH OF FOOTGOLF HILTON HEAD ISLAND, SC - Port Royal Golf & Racquet Club, a Heritage Golf Group property, announces the launch of FootGolf, a relatively new sport that combines the popular sports of soccer and golf, starting October 2nd, 2014. The rules of FootGolf largely correspond to the rules of golf. FootGolf uses golf’s basic model including tee boxes, greens, bunkers, hazards, and 9-holes or 18-holes of play. The sport is played with a soccer ball on a traditional golf course with 21-inch diameter cups, set to the side of the traditional greens, instead of the traditional 4.25-inch diameter cups. Scorecards display par scores for each hole, just as in regular golf. In support of the launch, Port Royal Golf & Racquet Club will host a complimentary FootGolf Clinic from 2:00pm to 3:00pm on Friday, October 17th, 2014. Those wishing to join the clinic can sign up in the Golf Shop or call (843) 681-1766. Port Royal will offer FootGolf on Thursday-Saturday afternoons. The Port Royal FootGolf course, a 9-hole course on Planter’s Row (Holes 1, 2, 3, 10, and 11), takes approximately one hour or less to play. FootGolfers wanting to play 18-holes will be able to play the course twice. “We are very excited to bring this new sport to our Club. We see FootGolf as a way to reach new people that haven’t been to our club before (or perhaps haven’t been to any golf course before).
