Not talking about the situation where a primary function is the golf course and they add a few RV hookups. No, this is the RV camp, resort or whatever which tacks on a 'golf course" as entertainment while the RVers stop in for a few days. I've seen them along interstates, but never
bothered to stop and play.
Recently I decided to play every hole in Oregon and this opened the door.
Lewis & Clark GC is attached to a RV resort near Astoria, OR. Reasonable condition on a flat meadow interspersed with natural water hazards, and enough trees to cause occasional concern. The SW corner has a small hill. It would be a blast to play cross country style except for the, in Oregon, seven artificial greens maybe 15-20 yds diameter. They are starting to get moss covered. Conditioning was decent, I just didn't catch it near a mowing day.
There is another one near Klamath Falls in south central Oregon. Condition-wise this is the worst conditioned course I have played in 60 years. Maybe 80% grass, enough gopher holes so you always had to look down, small greens which had long ago seen the good days.
The ball bounced like the designer was Larry Pachinko before his classis course in the Price is Right studio. After the tee shot on #1 the only strategy was to finish the round.
But Guernsey, WY near the Nebraska border on U.S. 26 has Trail Ruts, which I stopped by to play on the way back from some Nebraska sand hill golf. Anine-holer, I knew about it because, as the name implies, the Oregon Trail ran across the land and ruts (a wagon or two wide depression) runs along and across several holes. It is a municipal course, but is run by a RV encampment. Straightforward golf course until you get to the last three. 7 & 8 are par 3s with about 10-15' elevation change, both greens in groves of trees. The 9th was drive-able but the camouflage was so good I finally hit a drive and went forward to find the hole. As you looked backwards from the green there were a couple of tall trees about 75 yards back, limbs nearly intertwined, 50 feet apart and a bunker between the two.
I'll find an old thread of mine and post some pictures. It is worth a stop with the nearby Guernsey Ruts, Newspaper Rock and a replica Ft. Laramie.
Anybody else have a close encounter with this phenomenon?
NOTE: I probably should not have included Trail Ruts because it is a municipal course, but the RV park and the golf course share the same
office. The golf course was not purpose built by the owners of the RV park to provide activity for their clientele and passers-by.
