Myrtle Creek Golf Club (known for a while as Cougar Canyon until 2020) is a well-rated and always popular layout. Located 20 miles south of Roseburg, in the small town of Myrtle Creek, the eponymous golf club is an 18-hole public layout tucked in-between forested hills and farmland.
With a creek running through it, the course enjoys a pleasantly pastoral setting. With the front-nine defined by elevation changes, and the back-nine by doglegging holes, the layout provides plenty of challenges, as well as a selection of blind shots.
This tree-lined and open parkland course should not disappoint, with many attractive features and several excellent holes to enjoy. Plenty of golfing challenge, a well-crafted design and usually good upkeep all contribute to the appeal of this course. One to include on your play list if you are in the area.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Non-metal spike facility. Walking permitted at all times. Golf carts available to rent.

Built by the City of Myrtle Creek, the golf course originally opened as Myrtle Creek Golf Course. Unable to make payments on its financing, the City leased the course to Myrtle Creek Links who changed the name to Cougar Canyon Golf Course. In October 2019, the course ceased operations, but reopened by popular demand in July 2020 as Myrtle Creek Golf Club under the management of Umpqua Golf Management.
Presidents Cup: Geoff Ogilvy’s International Team take on Brandt Snedeker’s USA Team at the revered Medinah Country Club, near Chicago. The Internationals are trying to halt a run of 11 consecutive American wins. (Sept 24-27).
French Open: Continental Europe’s oldest national championship, dating from 1906, is once again staged on the Albatros Course at Le Golf National, near Paris. Defending champion is America’s Michael Kim. (Sept 24-27).
Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.
The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
The Dutch: "It's no' just a game", as they say in Scotland, and that's certainly true at The Dutch. With 5-star services throughout, a lavishly comfortable Loch Lomond-inspired clubhouse, and a superbly designed and presented golf course, one could not ask for more from this top-end private club.
