About Salem Golf Club
Kay built one of the Pacific Northwest's most traditional layouts, where each hole feels carved from virgin forest rather than imposed on cleared farmland. The course benefits from Oregon's unique climate, staying green year-round while playing firm through the dry summers. Ancient fir trees serve as both hazards and backdrops, creating a sense of playing golf inside an old-growth preserve despite the club's location in the state capital.
