The Hole Story

Hole 7:  This long par 4, the highest handicap hole on the course, rewards accuracy and patience over power. The tee shot must carry the creek and find the left-center of the fairway, which plays mostly flat and provides a solid landing area for the approach.

The green is smaller and subtly sloped, making precision essential. A front-right greenside bunker waits to capture any shot that comes up short or drifts right. Finding the correct tier on the putting surface can be the difference between a routine par and a scrambling bogey.

Behind the green, Double Pink Cherry trees add a graceful touch of color each spring—an elegant backdrop to one of the course’s most demanding holes.

Naming the Hole

Kwanza Cherry

(Prunus serrulata ‘Kanzan’)

The Kwanza Cherry, also known as the Double Pink Flowering Cherry, is one of the most admired ornamental cherry trees for its spectacular spring bloom. Its dense clusters of double pink blossoms create a stunning canopy of color that marks the arrival of spring in dramatic fashion.

This small deciduous tree naturally forms a vase-shaped structure with upward, spreading branches that gradually round with age, reaching 25–30 feet in height and width. Its bronze-tinged young leaves emerge in early spring, turning deep green in summer before finishing the year in a show of orange, red, and bronze autumn tones.

You’ll find these Kwanza Cherry trees along the roadside of Alderbrook Road, their seasonal color providing a graceful frame for the approach to Hole 7 and a vivid reminder of the beauty that defines the Oregon coast landscape.
