Play Brasada Canyons at Brasada Ranch Resort
Designed by native Oregonian Peter Jacobsen and Jim Hardy, Brasada Canyons Golf Course in Bend Oregon is undeniably one of the most beautiful and enjoyable Oregon golf courses. The course opened on September 1, 2007 and is known for the best 18 views in Central Oregon.
Tournament Format
Entry into the championship will be four-man teams comprised of two professionals and two amateurs. You will need to make your own team.
Teams will play together for the first 36 holes. There are two team competitions over the first 36 holes – best 2 net of the 4, and each professional will play a net four-ball with one amateur. Handicaps at 80% will be used in the team games.
The championship is a 54-hole stroke play with professional and amateur purses. After 36 holes, the field will be cut to the low 70 players and ties, repaired by score and the Oregon Open Invitational completed.
There is no maximum handicap for entry (18 max. in the competition), however, all players will play from the championship tees and there will be no individual net amateur.
All players will be governed by the Rules of Golf, Pace of Play, the Section Hard Card, the Section Dress Code and the Section Cell phone regulation.
You don’t have to take a team with the best handicaps – just take your best golf buddies! We are adding a professional net purse once again into the Oregon Open Invitational. The payout should be similar to last year which was four spots paid for those professionals that missed the 36 hole cut. Last year’s payout was 1st net – $360, 2nd net – $350, 3rd place net $340 with 4th place being $330. If the purse goes up, the net purse will increase as well.
Play for Bonus Money in the Team Competitions
Back again in 2016 is our National Car Rental Pro-Am Championship. Thanks to a nice sponsorship through the PGA of America, National Car Rental will be the sponsor of the team competitions – with a $7,500 contribution! This means there will be extra money to play for, in the team competition! They ask one thing – enroll all players in the Emerald Club, National Car Rental’s FREE tool to help you use the PGA discounted rate and also ease the rental process by allowing you to bypass the rental counter. To be eligible for the team competitions, all players on the team must be Emerald Club members (current membership qualifies) and there is a place on the entry form to provide each player’s Emerald Club number.

A History of Fun and Exciting Competition
The Oregon Open Invitational dates back to 1905 when George Smith was the first to win the title. Over the years a number of fantastic players have won the championship such as Tommy Armour, Chuck Congdon, Al Zimmerman, Bob Duden, Rick Acton, and PGA Tour Player Peter Jacobsen. It was considered a PGA Tour event in the late 1920s and early 1930s.
Last year, PGA Professional David Lebeck of Astoria G&CC won the Oregon Open Invitational by two strokes. He fired rounds of 67-69-71-207 to narrowly beat out PGA Professional Brian Thornton of Meridian Valley CC who won this event back in 2012. Low amateur honors went to Jesse Heinly of Pro Golf of Bend.
