About this course
Gearhart Golf Links occupies dunes along the north Oregon coast in the town of Gearhart. Accounts trace informal play there to the late 1880s, with the course formally established in 1892 when the front nine was built; a second nine was added by 1915.
Gearhart has operated continuously since then and is generally regarded as the oldest golf course west of the Mississippi River. Early architects included Robert Livingstone and, later, George Turnbull and H. Chandler Egan. A renovation between 2013 and 2015 removed trees to restore a more open, links-style look.
The course is open to the public and hosted the 1917 Oregon Amateur Championship among other regional events over its history.
