Golf in Dallas

Dallas is the seat of Polk County, a Willamette Valley community on the South Fork of the Rickreall Creek west of Salem. Polk County is deeply identified with Oregon wine — the Eola-Amity Hills, one of Oregon's premier Pinot Noir appellations, rises just north of the valley — and the surrounding agricultural landscape reflects that identity in vineyards, filbert orchards, and the hop yards that have defined this region since the nineteenth century. Dallas itself is a small city that has maintained its independence from Salem's suburban expansion, with a distinct downtown and community character. Golf in Polk County benefits from the valley's dry summer season.
