Course Intelligence
Course Character
Wind, changing elevation and native areas are central to the experience. The course asks players to choose conservative lines around water and bunkers, while the open landscape and distant views create a distinctly Eastern Oregon sense of place.

The layout combines broad high-desert scenery with strategic water, native grass, elevation and extensive out-of-play boundaries.

Major Risks
Changing conditions The course is open year-round; seasonal conditions can affect rollout and green response. Nine-hole rhythm A shorter format still requires a clear plan for each hole and a steady pace.
Blue Tee Strategy
Confirm the active tees and current course notices. Choose reliable targets rather than forcing extra distance. Use the practice area to calibrate carry and rollout before play. Play within the day's conditions
