Links golf in the Pacific Northwest operates on a different register than anything built inland
Links golf in the Pacific Northwest operates on a different register than anything built inland. At Florence, the course presents 18 holes of exposed terrain where wind is not a variable but a participant. The 6,055-yard layout plays differently with every weather system that comes in off the water. Ground game matters here. Trajectory, spin, and bounce are decisions you make before you take the club back. Slope of 124 means the terrain has enough character to make the walk interesting without turning it into a slog. Pace of play can stretch on busy days. Worth planning for an early tee time if you're walking.
