Agate Beach Golf Course

We love this little family owned (same family since 1961) golf course and coffee shop. It’s never too busy; we’ve always been able to play with little wait and no tee time. It’s not terribly long and only 9 holes, but it definitely offers some challenges without providing too much frustration. The true gem we discovered on our last visit though was their coffee shop. Our waitress was one of the family members and suggested the burger, which patrons have told her is the best in town. After having it, I’m in agreement. I added 4 thick slices of bacon to it, which our waitress also recommended, calling them Steakon. 3 of us had a very filling lunch for $59 plus tip. We’ll be back for golf and food. Note: cafe is closed Nov to March.

This is a fun place to golf. The staff is friendly and helpful and makes you feel like a member even if you’re not. Frank in the pro shop is great. He shared the history of the course with me and gave me so tips on how to play certain holes. It’s December 1st and the course is still nice and green. It offers challenges for every golfer but is new golfer friendly. They do offer both push carts and driving carts, I recommend walking. If in the Newport, OR area you have to stop in and play a round.

Fun little 9 hole, with some unique design features. My favorite was the 8th hole nestled back in the woods with a short 150 yard drive, a tricky little deep bunker on the front and dense forest on the back and sides. The greens were in great shape, especially because they were plugged only a week before we played yet they were still verdant and pretty smooth. Recommend this course for sure.
