fantastic to see some love for Galen Hall. There are so many great holes on that property. that course has an awesome collection of par 3s.

Played this course last week. 13-16 at Galen Hall is one of the best stretches of golf I’ve ever played. Extremely small greens but they still had so much movement. Plays much harder than the course rating and short yardage. Really fun slightly quirky course.

They tell us Eastmoreland Golf Course in Portland has the first island green west of the Mississippi on hole 17.
