If you are a close watcher of our “Courses To Go” counter in the upper left corner of our website’s front page, you’ll notice a change. Our “to go” number has jumped by five. One course has been added retroactively, while the other four have been added somewhat ahead of time proactively. Here’s the explanation:
• After an on-site review recently by Don, we have added On The River Golf & RV Resort to the list. Located off of I-5 just north of Myrtle Creek, On The River will not be hosting the U.S. Open any time soon. There are six holes, all less than 100 yards. But the resort does market itself as having a course; they sell balls, they rent clubs. They are now on the list. On The River website.
• In July 2017, the Silvies Valley Ranch Resort comes online with four courses, and with a couple of twists. Silvies Valley Ranch is located about halfway between John Day and Burns on Highway 395. The main course of 18 holes will have tees and greens at both ends of each fairway. Play will be reversed every other day. Ergo, today’s dogleg left will be tomorrow’s dogleg right. Silvies Valley Ranch’s Kathleen Cantrell Price confirms to Don & Pete Golf Oregon that they will be known as the Craddock and Hankins courses, two local, historical names. Preliminary online information referred to them as the Grant and Harney courses, the two Oregon counties that the sprawling Silvies Valley Ranch encompasses. But again, they will be known as Craddock and Hankins. Additionally, there will be a 9-hole par 3 layout, to be known as the Chief Egan course. There will also be a 7-hole — yes, seven — “challenge” course to be called McVeigh’s Gauntlet. Cantrell Price says that layout will consist of par 3s and 4s. Silvies Valley Ranch website.
