– Ryan Benzel, PGA
A Central Oregon Favorite
The Ridge Course at Eagle Crest Resort has previously hosted the Northwest Open (1999 and 2002) and last hosted the Oregon Open in 2006. As a true Central Oregon favorite, it will make its return hosting PNWPGA majors at the 2023 Oregon Open. The course was designed by John Thronson, who was heavily involved in many PNW designs, notably at Running Y and Brasada Ranch. Since the day it opened back in 1993, the Ridge Course has been regarded as one of the most well-rounded courses you’ll ever play. It’s a course that has terrific flow and one that you will never get tired of playing. Carved out of an ancient juniper forest with views of the Cascades, the “Ridge Course” offers ample room off the tee and generously sized greens.
Play a Fun Tournament Format
Entry into the championship will be four-person teams comprised of two professionals and two amateurs. You will need to make your own team.
The championship is a 54-hole stroke play with professional and amateur purses. After 36 holes, the field will be cut (to low 70 players and ties) and repaired by score. There are two team competitions over 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.
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.
