THE HISTORY OF SHADOW HILLS COUNTRY CLUB
Opened in 1962 by Bohemia Lumber Company on former orchard land. In 1986, the course was bought by its then 300 members. Between 1992 and 1995 the course went under a massive remodel by William Robinson, who switched 9s and added traps, mounding, water and a new irrigation system. In 2012, the new clubhouse (with a pool and fitness center) was completed.
The course has hosted many OGA and PNWPGA events, including the Oregon Amateur in 1974 (won by US Amateur champ Mary Budke), the PNWPGA in 1966 and 1972, and the Northwest Open in 1996. It has also hosted a number of national events, including the Pacific Ladies Golf Classic in 1967, the Pay Less Classic from 1968 to 1971, and the Nationwide Tour Oregon Classic from 1998 to 2008 (except in 2001). The club was named the OGA’s Facility of the Year in 2014.
