Golf in Cottage Grove

Cottage Grove occupies the southern Willamette Valley in Lane County, where the valley narrows as it approaches the Calapooia Mountains and the pass toward Roseburg. The community has a historic downtown and a location along Row River that connects it to the reservoir and covered bridge country of the surrounding hills. Cottage Grove Lake, a flood-control reservoir in the foothills to the east, anchors outdoor recreation for the area. Golf here benefits from the valley's extended dry season while sitting at the edge of terrain that becomes more rugged as you move south and east into the Umpqua headwaters. The covered bridges of the Lane County backcountry are a defining local feature, and the community's position at the valley's southern edge gives it access to both the Willamette's agricultural core and the Umpqua highlands beginning to the south.
