5 reviews for Reserve Vineyards & Golf Club
Very well kept and you can hear a pin drop. Great spot for golf.
They are very strict about the dress code, but overall, everything is pretty by the book.
The courses are relatively easy, but very curvy. There's paved trails every where so walking or driving your cart is do able.
I played the North Course for the second time and was more impressed than ever. The course is in top flight condition tee to green. The greens are lightening fast so bring the A game. At $65 a round, this a deal given the quality of this course.
The club house restaurant is really well run. Food is always good and service is excellent. Splitting time between here and the East Coast is not conducive to joining a club but if I was here more often this is the club I would join. Great course!

These are two fabulous golf courses. North or South, you had better bring your A game if you want… Read more »
The Reserve is a semi-private 36-hole championship-style golf facility. The two courses have distinctly different flavors and rotate into public play once per month.
The entire complex winds through trees and skirts wetland areas. It is relatively flat and easy to walk.
The 7,172 yard John Fought (South) course has wide open fairways with large greens. The builders imported beautiful white sand from Idaho for use in the numerous sand traps that characterize this course.
This is the course that most of the Jeld-Wen Tradition tournament was played on.
The 6,852 yard Bob Cupp (North) course is tighter with artificial mounda nd tall fescue grass, lining the sides of many holes. Many of the greens have false fronts as is characteristic of Cupp designs. Another unique feature is a huge triple-green shared by three holes.
This layout places a much higher premium on accurate driving as it eats balls. It has much more water coming into play than the Fought course.
Out of the two, the Fought course is typically preferred although I have played with people that prefer the Cupp course. The Fought course drains better in the winter.
The greens used to be bent grass but are now mostly converted over to Poa Annua. This makes them fast when they are freshly cut and rolled.
The driving range is real grass (in the warm months) and has ample targets.
The main negative aspect of this course is that they run many tournaments in the summer and it may be hard to get onto the public side.
Their large French chateau style clubhouse features a restaurant with a large deck. I've spent many pleasant afternoons enjoying a beer on this deck after a round.
I've found the service at The Reserve to be top-notch and the starters are helpful.
If you are looking for unlimited golf, this course also offers yearly and permanent memberships.
The Reserve is on Oregon's top 10 list. Now that I've played 3 of the 10 (I've only lived here 5 months) and other non-list makers, this place is beautiful. As everyone else said, excellent condition! The guy who said, relatively easy, yeah, relative is the right term. He must be a great golfer, unlike 99% of people who play. For those of us who like/love the sport, the tradition, the challenge...the Reserve delivers.
By the way, go their website to save $. I did 18 at twilight and they include your cart in the fees. Not much, about $10 savings but I made up for it in the number of balls I lost.
Two fun 18 hole courses at one place. This golf course is semi-private meaning that they reserve one of their two courses for members only on a rotating basis.
Both courses are kept in excellent condition with well groomed fairways and greens. The driving range is also well maintained. The course is absolutely beautiful with plenty of trees, water, and varied terrain.
I am not a big fan of the semi-private feeling to the course. For example, the first few rows of parking are reserved for members only. Considering how much this course relies on the public to make money, things like this seem kind of silly (and thus will not get 5 stars).
Bottom line: Both the north and south courses are fun, but are a bit pricey. Peak rates go north of $80 in the summer for 18 and a cart.
