Chehalem Glenn & Gettman Loops reviews
2 The Gettman Loop, on the south side of the road, is fairly well marked. It seems to be a one-way loop (counterclockwise) since if you go the other direction you'll encounter signs telling you to keep out unless you are a patron of the golf course. I'd clarify it as a pretty easy trail. It is paved in some parts, and has a thick barkdust / wood chips layer on other parts, fairly freshly laid at the time of this review. There are a few short steepish sections but most people should be able to handle them without any issue.
The Chehalem Glenn Loop, on the north side of the road, seems to be completely unmarked, and possibly non-existent (not yet built out?) since there is no description of it on the website. I asked a couple guys working at the golf course and they showed me a map of the "proposed" route, I guess drawn in the planning stages. Most of it is just pre-existing sidewalks on neighborhood streets adjacent to the northern half of the golf course, rather than walking/hiking paths, with one exception being a short trail segment cutting along the northern border of the golf course. The guys at the golf course said it wasn't worth it and I tend to agree. I did walk it anyway, though, and it was just a normal walk through some suburban neighborhoods and the PCC Newberg campus.
Absolutely lovely 1.6 mile loop around the golf course. Perfect for dog walks! If I lived here I’d be here most days with my dogs!
