Historic downtown Corvallis and the Riverfront Commemorative Park are just minutes from Trysting Tree Golf Club.
Our beautiful downtown is comprised of restaurants serving locally sourced food, a thriving arts and culture scene, craft breweries, and unique shops - many housed in historic structures. The Riverfront Commemorative Park is our beautiful urban park bordering First Street along the Willamette River. It’s a great place to bring a lunch, go for a bike ride, walk your dog, or just lie out on the grass and enjoy. It’s also dotted with some lovely sculptures, making this a great little walk for art lovers.
If you’re up for a pretty drive then head north on Highway 20 up to the Albany Golf & Event Center. It's close to historic Adair Village, once home to Camp Adair, as well as the E. E. Wilson Wildlife Refuge, which offers hiking, biking and horse riding trails, fishing and hunting opportunities, excellent bird watching, and more. McDonald-Dunn Forest and Peavy Arboretum - both full of fantastic hiking trails - are nearby, also.
Cellar Cat operates a restaurant at the golf course, too, so if you're looking for an excellent meal, make that your first stop.
South of Corvallis you'll find the Diamond Woods Golf Course. From Diamond Woods you can go to William L. Finley Wildlife Refuge, where you'll find over 5,000 acres offering some of Oregon’s best wildlife observation, photography and hiking. The refuge was established as a wintering area for Canada geese and now provides sanctuary for elk, falcons, egrets and many other forms of wildlife.
Or check out Alsea Falls, where the south fork of the Alsea River flows through Alsea Falls Recreation Area, which offers eight miles of trails to explore year round. The picnic and camping grounds open in mid-May. It’s a great place to cool off in the summer, and fish for salmon in the winter.
If you’re up for something like a little wine tasting then you’re in luck! Several wineries are located near the golf course. You'll find yourself within minutes of Benton-Lane Winery, Brigadoon Wine Company, and TeBri Vineyards and Lavender. These small boutique wineries are family owned destinations that reflect the natural beauty and diversity of the Willamette Valley.
