I’ve been to Creekside Golf Club as well; they have a great atmosphere for newcomers. It might be a bit challenging for first-timers, but totally feasible!
That makes me a little anxious! But I guess challenges can make it fun, right?
Absolutely! Plus, you’ll learn a lot from each round. If you find a mentor in the local clubs, that might ease the nerves too.
Does anyone know if there are specific days when public courses are less crowded? I’d like a quieter experience as I learn.

Weekdays tend to be quieter in general. If you can play early, that’s usually the best bet for a relaxed round.
Good to know! Also, I could use some tips on essentials to bring on the course!
Don’t forget water, sunscreen, and some snacks! And maybe a good sense of humor; you might need it when you hit a few bad shots!
Hey everyone! I’m looking for public golf course recommendations in Salem, Oregon. Are there any events or leagues happening soon?

I can second that! The league at Salem Golf Club is really friendly and welcoming. Plus, you get to enjoy some competitive play throughout the season.
What about the other courses? Is there any way to find a schedule for tournaments at other public courses in the area?
You can usually find tournament schedules on the websites of local courses, or you can call them directly. For example, the Creekside Golf Club has a solid lineup of events!
I’ve heard a lot about Highcliff Golf Course as well! They host some fun community events. Has anyone participated in their tournaments?
Yes! I played in a charity tournament at Highcliff last summer. Great atmosphere, and you meet a lot of cool people! I’d recommend checking it out.

That sounds amazing! Besides tournaments, what about leagues? Are there specific requirements to join one?
Most public courses have leagues that are accessible for various skill levels. Just sign up online or at the course! It’s a relaxed way to get involved.
I have to agree, it’s a great way to make friends! Just don’t hold your breath though, better to enjoy the game than to stress about your score!
Haha, true! By the way, has anyone tried out the mini-golf scene in Salem? It could be a fun break from the traditional courses!
Totally! Mini-golf can be a nice change of pace, especially for beginners or if you want to just have some fun with friends.
