Hole 7 at Oregon Golf Club, The

Par 4411 Yards • West Linn, Oregon

Enhanced Content
Challenging

The seventh hole at Oregon Golf Club presents a deceptively straightforward par 4 that demands precision over power. This 411-yard test features a straight layout that invites aggressive play off the tee, but the small, subtly contoured green requires careful consideration for the approach shot. With minimal hazards to navigate, golfers can focus on course management and shot execution rather than hazard avoidance. The compact putting surface rewards accurate iron play, as missing the target leaves challenging recovery shots around the green complex. What makes this hole memorable is its emphasis on pure shotmaking – a classic example of strategic golf design where par feels earned rather than given, perfectly positioned as the seventh handicap hole on this respected West Linn layout.
