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.
