Anyone who's ever been to the Resort at the Mountain knows that it's a special property. Three nine-hole tracks all have unique qualities about them that can make for a really nice 27-hole round with family and friends.

Players who have been there also know that it wouldn't hurt for all three courses to be undated, just a bit.  That's exactly what's happening this year.

The Foxglove course is currently closed while greens, tee boxes and bunkers are being remodeled.  It's expected to open sometime in the early Summer months for public play.  The other two courses will get upgrades later in the year.

I've always looked at The Resort as a great way for folks from Portland to get out of the city for a day in the Summer.  When it's wickedly hot in the valley, you can drive just over an hour to Welches and The Resort and be in much cooler climes for a round of golf.  It's quick, it's easy and rooms and golf aren't that expensive.

Naturally, if you're looking for a great stay-and-play package for The Resort, Northwest Golf Adventures can help.  But keep the course in mind if you're just passing over the mountain and want to get out and stretch your legs.  27 great holes are being made even better this year and it's worth a play.
