I'm not a golfer, but the bar and resturant are great! Wonderful food.

Played here for the first time today with one of my best friends, Ryan P. There are only two choices if you want to golf in Tillamook--Alderbrook and a little nine hole, par 3 course beside the Cheese Factory (which I believe is called Bay Breezes). This one is a not super long course and is a par 69, so those of you that live off par 5s, will be sorely disappointed.
The course is about 5 (maybe 10) minutes north of Tillamook proper, just east of 101. The club house is the same as the bar/snack shop. The guy who helped this morning was perfectly nice, friendly and helpful. Prices are reasonable. We got two 18 holes and a cart for around $70, so that's pretty fair.
The course itself is a decent one. The fairways are super, super rough (physically they're covered in mounds and bumps)--it's difficult to drive across them at full throttle in a cart. It seems pretty clear that the fairways were never rolled when the course was being made. Also, there isn't much distinction between the fairway and the rough--often it's difficult to know where one ends and the other begins. The holes are set up nicely--pretty basic. The greens are generally on the smaller side. The front 9 is pretty flat and the back is built into the base of the hills so there is a lot of elevation gain and loss. One hole on the back in particular comes to mind--a 128 yard par 3 that has probably 100 feet or more of elevation gain to the green. Crazy stuff but pretty cool. Also, because you are on the coast wind is generally a big factor.
At the turn we stopped in to get some snacks and drinks and this is where we were very impressed. Their prices of snacks and drinks are almost enough to give it four stars. We got four bitch liquors (Mike's Hard Lemonade, etc.), two candy bars and pepperoni for only $16. Those that golf a lot are all too familiar with the $3 cokes, $2 candy bars, and $5-$6 (or more) drinks. It was very refreshing not to get completely screwed with buying refreshments at a golf course.
This is a very fun course, reasonably priced and without many (any?) alternatives in the area. I'd give it 3.5 stars if I could. Nothing bad at all about it, just not spectacular or legendary. -

This is a truly fun course. If you're looking for an unpredictable course that can have your ball bouncing 10 yards in front or backwards, this is it. Plus, the big trees can be your friends when the ball goes right or left. They saved me a few times.
Heard they are trying to turn it into a championship golf course, so can't wait to see the progression.
Totally recommend for a quick 9 hole. -

Wow! If you haven't been to Alderbrook in a while, be sure to stop by and enjoy the new clubhouse. The thought "spared no expense" comes to mind - this place is beautiful. The upstairs bar and restaurant have an pleasant upscale feel which is hard to find in Tillamook. Ate brunch on the deck overlooking the course and the food was really tasty. The course itself is still being redone so I am waiting with anticipation to play the new course next spring. Just hope they don't hike the green fees 'cause it's very reasonable now.
