Frequently Asked Questions

When's the best time to play Trysting Tree for ideal conditions and fewer crowds?

You'll find Trysting Tree at its absolute best from late spring through early fall, typically May to September. The weather is usually perfect, and the course is in prime shape, though you might encounter more student traffic during the academic year. We recommend booking a morning tee time on a weekday for the most serene experience.

Is Trysting Tree a good course for all skill levels, or is it particularly challenging?

Trysting Tree offers a fair test for all, but don't let its open feel fool you-it can bite back. The course is generally forgiving off the tee, but the greens are often undulating and well-guarded, demanding precise approach shots. We think it's a fantastic course to work on your iron play and short game.

What's the signature experience or a must-see feature at Trysting Tree?

The true highlight at Trysting Tree is its fantastic back nine, particularly the stretch along the Willamette River. The views are stunning, especially on holes 12 and 13, where the river comes into play and adds a beautiful, strategic element. You'll want to take a moment to soak it all in.

What can I expect to pay for a round at Trysting Tree, and is it good value?

Trysting Tree offers excellent value, especially considering its quality and university affiliation. Green fees are generally very reasonable, often ranging from $40-$70 depending on the day and time. We always suggest checking their website for twilight rates or student/senior discounts, which can make a great deal even better.

What's one practical tip for playing Trysting Tree that most visitors overlook?

Pay close attention to the wind, especially on the more open holes and those near the river. It can swirl unexpectedly and significantly impact your club selection, turning a seemingly easy shot into a real challenge. We've seen many good rounds go awry because golfers underestimated the breeze.
