Testimonial:

as I progressed through the lessons my game was changing and it was for the better. He was very patient with me... My wife also takes lessons and her swing has gotten straighter and longer.

Michelbook is Yamhill County's only private golf club. We have a full driving range, a beautiful practice green and a great short game/bunker practice area to go along with a gem of a championship 18 hole course. We pride ourselves on our greens and course conditions being fantastic all year round. The clubhouse includes a full restaurant and bar, a fully stocked pro-shop and a Foresight Sports golf simulator. The public may access the course for a fee and are welcome to take lessons and clubfitting from the club staff.
