Alderbrook Golf Course

Great experience playing Alderbrook on Friday. The course was in excellent shape. The weather could not have been better. The clubhouse is gorgeous. The halibut fish tacos were 5 star and reasonable. I would go just to hang out at the clubhouse. The staff was also super friendly. A great find.

Beautiful club house/​bar/​range and restaurant. This is an old course from the looks and the advertising. Est. 1924 from what it says. Small greens, tight fairways and approaches at times make it a fun little track. It reminds me of the old public course I grew up on back in MI. Very fun over all nothing to write home about. I’ll come back if we are ever in the area.
The practice balls may be the hardest rocks I’ve hit in a while but beggars can’t be choosers so I polished off my bucket they day I came out to practice. You can only practice off the mats but it is a nice coverage range so that makes up for it.
The food in the grill is def worth the drive for non golfers and the service was very attentive! Great dinner menu as well from what I previewed while eating lunch after 18.
My fave part about this place is the HUGE American flag dedicated to veterans in the parking lot. :)

Golfed here for the first time with 6 other friends. Really fun course. not too hard but not too easy. The nicest staff and great, great food. Super friendly. would 100% recommend it. We walked the front 9 but could have probably used a cart because of the topography. Hoping to play again in a couple of weeks.

I’m not a golfer, but the bar and resturant are great! Wonderful food.

Wow! If you haven’t been to Alderbrook in a while, be sure to stop by and enjoy the new clubhouse. The thought «spared no expense» comes to mind — this place is beautiful. The upstairs bar and restaurant have an pleasant upscale feel which is hard to find in Tillamook. Ate brunch on the deck overlooking the course and the food was really tasty. The course itself is still being redone so I am waiting with anticipation to play the new course next spring. Just hope they don’t hike the green fees ’cause it’s very reasonable now.

This is a truly fun course. If you’re looking for an unpredictable course that can have your ball bouncing 10 yards in front or backwards, this is it. Plus, the big trees can be your friends when the ball goes right or left. They saved me a few times.
Heard they are trying to turn it into a championship golf course, so can’t wait to see the progression.
Totally recommend for a quick 9 hole.

Played here for the first time today with one of my best friends, Ryan P. There are only two choices if you want to golf in Tillamook – Alderbrook and a little nine hole, par 3 course beside the Cheese Factory (which I believe is called Bay Breezes). This one is a not super long course and is a par 69, so those of you that live off par 5s, will be sorely disappointed.
The course is about 5 (maybe 10) minutes north of Tillamook proper, just east of 101. The club house is the same as the bar/​snack shop. The guy who helped this morning was perfectly nice, friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable. We got two 18 holes and a cart for around $ 70, so that’s pretty fair.
The course itself is a decent one. The fairways are super, super rough (physically they’re covered in mounds and bumps) – it’s difficult to drive across them at full throttle in a cart. It seems pretty clear that the fairways were never rolled when the course was being made. Also, there isn’t much distinction between the fairway and the rough – often it’s difficult to know where one ends and the other begins. The holes are set up nicely – pretty basic. The greens are generally on the smaller side. The front 9 is pretty flat and the back is built into the base of the hills so there is a lot of elevation gain and loss. One hole on the back in particular comes to mind – a 128 yard par 3 that has probably 100 feet or more of elevation gain to the green. Crazy stuff but pretty cool. Also, because you are on the coast wind is generally a big factor.
At the turn we stopped in to get some snacks and drinks and this is where we were very impressed. Their prices of snacks and drinks are almost enough to give it four stars. We got four bitch liquors (Mike’s Hard Lemonade, etc.), two candy bars and pepperoni for only $ 16. Those that golf a lot are all too familiar with the $ 3 cokes, $ 2 candy bars, and $ 5-​$ 6 (or more) drinks. It was very refreshing not to get completely screwed with buying refreshments at a golf course.
This is a very fun course, reasonably priced and without many (any?) alternatives in the area. I’d give it 3.5 stars if I could. Nothing bad at all about it, just not spectacular or legendary.
