Forgotten Oregon golf, slow death then fire

Miss this place at its peak.  Used to play it for $9 in 1980.  Leave the money in the mail slot.

Similar scenario to Aspen Lakes, except in the end the new non-local buyer saved Aspen Lakes rather than letting it die.

I played this back when it was the Cutler's orignal nine.  Lovely course, ate many a ball. When they added the second nine, they sort of shoehorned the additional holes onto the property and it lost some charm.  In the late 2010s, it fell into disrepair. The 2020 fire was the official end, but it had been dying for quite some time already.

There was talk of a new buyer before the fire. After the fire they were still interested but the cost to get it open again was too high. Supposedly the irrigation system is a complete loss so now they were looking at a couple million on top of the price, that doesn’t include the cost to get it back in playable shape

Interesting. If I ever happen across a couple million of disposable income, maybe I'll make an offer. 🤷‍♂️ Someday.

Making me cry. Miss that place.
