NEWPORT, OREGON
COURSE: SANDPINES GOLF LINKS
BREWER: ROGUE BREWERY
L
ocated on the stunning Oregon Coast
about two-and-a-half hours south of
Portland, Newport is home to one of the
most distinctive breweries in the world:
Rogue Brewery, which is known for its in-
credible array of beers in wildly colorful bot-
tles with equally colorful names, such as Dead
Guy Ale, Shakespeare Oatmeal Stout, and
Wasted Sea Star Purple Ale. It also offers craft
spirits and ciders and farm tours of the sites
where their materials are grown.
About an hour from the brewery to the
south is Sandpines Golf Links, located amid
the Oregon Dunes. The combination of wind-
swept sand dunes and the always-fluctuating
coastal weather makes the Reese Jones-de-
signed course a quintessential Northwestern
American links track, at least on the inward
nine. The outward nine is set amid pines and
lakes, and wildlife is abundant, ranging from
deer and bald eagles to blue herons and even
the infrequent black bear.
