    🎉 Astoria Golf & Country Club Centennial Celebration 🎉

    October 12, 2023 /

    2023 marks the 100-year celebration of the Astoria Golf and Country Club (AGCC)! With a rich history spanning a century, we’re pulling out all the stops to make this occasion truly special. We aim to honor our incredible members, dedicated staff, and all the unforgettable moments we’ve shared over the last 100 years.

    Original story about the House with the Blue roof in Surf Pines.

    September 10, 2023 /

    The House with the Blue Roof Story with pictures  Yesterday at our Shady Pines Block Party several members asked what I knew about the big house on top of Strawberry Hill in Surf Pines. What many did not know is that Annie and I actually bought this home with a local contractor Mike Maltman. In 2019 we did a presentation for the TNT (Thursday Night Talks) for the Clatsop County Historical society about the story behind the infamous House with the Blue Tile Roof in Surf Pines at the north end of Surf Pines. On top of Strawberry hill in this gated community north of Gearhart, there is a house at the…

    Surf Pines supports GEARHART RURAL FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT with their own.

    April 17, 2023 /

    This organization provides fire and EMT services for Gearhart and surrounding area including Surf Pines. What many do not realize is that two of our own are on the 4-member elected Board. These include Brent Seppa (Position 2) and Dave Butler (Position 4), who are also owners and members of Surf Pines. Both have been serving the interests of the district and Surf Pines over the last 2 years. They also are both up for election in May of this year.

    Have we found Gracie yet? or how a lost dog brought our community together. 

    March 21, 2023 /

    by Tom Smith Ken and his wife, one of our newer members, moved to Surf Pines after retiring about a year and a half ago. Shortly afterward, they adopted Gracie, who is a beautiful 75 pound white pyrenees dog who was rescued from a Texas dog rescue. This rescue held her for almost a year, after being abused by her original owner, before Ken and his wife found her through a rescue adoption site. Gracie was obviously very skittish of human beings and other animals. Shortly after being adopted, she escaped and hid out along what we call duck lake between the upper and lower roads in our community of Surf Pines.…
