We head outdoors to discover the wonderful world of Country Golf on this week’s “Grant’s Getaway.”

Whether a beginner or an established player, discover three distinct courses across the Willamette Valley that are family-owned, affordable, close to the rural side of Oregon and put you in touch with the great game of golf.

But golf isn’t just a game – it’s an adventure for many, a passion for some and can become a life-long friendship for folks who get to know the tress, the sand traps and the water hazards all too well.

Come with us as we visit Frontier Golf Course in Canby, Diamond Woods Golf Course in Lane County and Killarney West Golf Course in Hillsboro.
