Plan Your Gleneden Beach Golf Trip in 60 Seconds

Scottish-style coastal links on the central Oregon coast

Salishan Coastal Lodge anchors a quiet stretch of the central Oregon coast with an 18-hole links-style course that runs from forest down toward Siletz Bay. It's a low-key, scenery-first golf-and-seafood trip — pair it with the casinos and beaches of nearby Lincoln City for a fuller weekend.
