Golf in Creswell

Creswell is a small Lane County community just south of Eugene on the I-5 corridor, part of the urbanizing fringe of the Eugene-Springfield metropolitan area where residential development has extended along the valley floor. The surrounding terrain is characteristic southern Willamette Valley — flat agricultural land with oak woodlands on the rises and the Cascades visible to the east. Creswell's position along the interstate gives it commuter connectivity to both Eugene and the communities further south toward Cottage Grove and Roseburg. Golf in this part of the valley occupies that agricultural-residential edge zone. Agricultural land — grass seed, grain, and nursery crops — surrounds the community on most sides, and recreational golf at nearby Emerald Valley offers residents a convenient option without requiring a trip into Eugene's more congested facilities.
