Georgia Hall: recorded her first win in an LPGA Tour event on American soil at this year’s Portland Classic, played at Columbia Edgewater Country Club … on the edge of the Columbia River.

Although not on the well-beaten path of Scotland's "trophy" courses, if you are passing through this area, it's a must play.
