Golf in Coos Bay

Coos Bay is the largest city on the Oregon coast and the principal commercial and industrial hub of Coos County, built around a deep-water bay that made it the center of Oregon's coastal timber export trade. The bay is one of the Pacific coast's few significant natural harbors between San Francisco and the Columbia River, and the city's character — working-class, maritime, forest-industry — differs markedly from the lifestyle-resort coastal communities to the north. Golf in the Coos Bay area serves a substantial year-round population rather than primarily a tourist trade, giving local courses a community function that destination courses elsewhere lack.
