Agate Beach Golf Course

Agate Beach Golf Course opened in 1931 as Agate Beach Golf Links, designed by Frank Stenzel, Sr. Located in Newport, Oregon, off Highway 101, the course features a fairly level layout with slightly rolling terrain surrounded by lush wooded areas of fir and hemlock trees. The course has been family-operated by the Martin family since 1960.

The signature hole is the par-3 eighth hole, a 115-yard challenge constructed in 1960 that serves as a memorial to Bill Martin. This hole features towering fir and hemlock trees with a large bunker guarding a challenging green. Major course improvements in the 1960s included an irrigation system, driving range, upgraded tee boxes, and a new clubhouse.

The course is well-maintained year-round and suited for play in all seasons. Agate Beach offers a full-service pro shop, golf lessons from PGA professional Terry Martin, rental clubs in both left and right-handed options, and an iron-only driving range. The course emphasizes its tradition as a family-friendly destination where golfers return with friends and family.
