A.V. Macan Podcast
Arthur Vernon Macan was a Champion Golfer, a World War I veteran and most notably a celebrated golf course architect. Macan is credited with designing numerous golf courses in the Pacific Northwest and is arguably the most important person to ever walk the fairways of Royal Colwood.

Columbia Edgewater visits Royal Colwood
Columbia Edgewater visits Royal Colwood
As Columbia Edgewater Country Club approaches its 100th Anniversary in 2025, Ky Fullerton and his friends John Delaittre and Evan Wilson visit Royal Colwood and graciously take time to join me for a quick podcast episode. They, along with other Club members, continue to re-build the Columbia Edgewater historical archives relating to A.V. Macan as part of the centenary celebration and as the new clubhouse is being completed.
John discusses some of Columbia Edgewater's best holes #4, #17 and #9. He also tells a good Brooke Henderson story and therefore will always be a fan of hers.
Evan talks about three distinctly key things that contribute to the likability of their golf course: good drainage; design of the routing makes or breaks your tee shot; and the inside 9 and outside 9 going in opposite directions.
Columbia Edgewater proudly continues to host the Portland Classic: it is the longest running, non-major, on the LPGA tour. Columbia Edgewater shares a strong connection to women’s golf in many ways.
Big thanks to Ky Fullerton, Evan Wilson and John Delaittre for their efforts and support.
Yes, we played all 18 after the podcast recording and they played Victoria Golf Club the next day!
