Gearhart Golf Links

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gearhart Golf Links, located in Gearhart, Oregon, United States, is an 18-hole links-style golf course, initially built in the late 1800s.

History[]

Gearhart Golf Links started with nine holes, the front nine being built in 1892 by the Founders Corporation,[1] while the remaining nine weren't added until 1913. Gearhart Golf Links has been in continual operation since 1892, making it the oldest course west of the Mississippi River.[2] A renovation of the course between 2013 and 2015 aimed to return it to its original open links-style, by removing a high number of trees.
