Golf in Blue River

Blue River is a small community along the McKenzie River in Lane County, east of Eugene in the Cascade foothills where the river runs cold and fast through a forested canyon. Hwy 126 follows the McKenzie from Eugene to the high Cascades, and communities like Blue River exist along that corridor as gateways to Wilderness and National Forest. The McKenzie River is one of Oregon's premier fly-fishing streams, and the surrounding landscape is more associated with that pursuit than with golf — but the area's recreational culture supports course facilities for visitors and residents in the broader Eugene region. The McKenzie River trail system and the corridor's fishing access draw outdoor enthusiasts throughout the year, and Tokatee Golf Club has long served as the valley's anchor golf destination for those combining a round with the river's other offerings.
