The Senior Players’ Championship is a two-man team competition of one Pacific Northwest PGA Professional and one amateur playing a both an individual and a four-ball competition.
The Reserve Vineyards and Golf Club opened for play in 1997 and immediately distinguished itself as the region’s premiere golf destination, boasting two courses that has challenged some of the game’s greatest players. Throughout either course, you will encounter some challenges and plenty of points of appreciation.
The Senior Players’ Championship will be played on the North Course. The North Course was designed by Bob Cupp, whose award-winning golf architecture accomplishments include Oregon courses Crosswater and Pumpkin Ridge. While The South Course’s trees & terrain are pure Willamette Valley in character, the North Course feels more like playing among Oregon’s coastal dunes. The more expansive links-style layout features undulating native grass mounds, distinctive shape, judicious bunkering & formidable greens with short grass surrounds.
