OR, United States
The 18-hole, 7,002 yard, par-72, Big Meadow Course, designed by Robert Muir Graves, opened in 1972. The course is carved out of pine forest with seven snowcapped mountains towering above. Updated in 2007, the course stretches over 7,000 yards from the championship tees and features expansive fairways, sweeping cape-and-bay bunkers and elevated green complexes to challenge golfers of all skill levels. The Big Meadow Course is relatively easy to walk, although the back nine has more hills than the first, with sixteen holes reaching into the forest.
One of the most memorable holes is #14, a 417-yard par-4 where the tee is set 75 feet above the green and offers a magnificent view of Three Fingered Jack. The fourteenth hole presents one of the Northwest's finest golf course photography opportunities, providing golfers with a dramatic view of Three Fingered Jack, a jagged volcanic peak rising above the Central Oregon landscape. The course hosted the Oregon Open in 2001, 2004, and 2026.
The stunning Big Meadow is a favorite among Oregon's golfers, garnering numerous awards over its 30-plus years, and in 2013 it was honored by GolfWeek Magazine as one of the "Best Courses You Can Play" in Oregon.
