A Fun Afternoon Disc Golfing at the Grand Lodge
March 30th, 2010 by Birgitte
In order to take advantage of a brief moment of beautiful weather this week, I went with two friends over to McMenamins Grand Lodge in Forest Grove to play the Disc Golf 10-hole course. I had just enough time before the sun went down to play the course and check out the lodge lobby and Ironwork Grill.
You don’t have to be a guest at the lodge in order to play the course, and discs are even available to rent for free from the hotel’s front desk. I had a good time; not necessarily because of my disc golf throwing skills, but because of beautiful scenery and great company. After a round of disc golf, we enjoyed yummy burgers from the Ironwork Grill. There’s also the Yardhouse Pub, and drinks at the Doctor’s Office Bar or Bob’s Bar.
You can also catch a movie or live music at the Compass Room Theater, or get a massage or body treatment from Ruby’s Spa.
If Disc Golf leaves you worn out, you can relax in the soaking pool for free with your overnight stay (or Ruby’s Spa treatment), or pay $5 per person for the general public (minors must be accompanied by an adult).
There are also attractions nearby, including: Hagg Lake, the Tillamook National Forest and Fernhill Wetlands, not to mention all the wineries and golf courses.
