This course is laid out on a soft rolling terrain with an old style design that invites golfers to walk the meticulously groomed and maintained fairways. Bordered by the Deschutes National Forest, Lost Tracks offers a unique golf experience that exemplifies what Oregon has to offer. Majestic views of the Cascades, clean air and an abundance of wildlife. Lost Tracks Golf Club defines the word "golf." Lost Tracks has tree lined fairways that demand accuracy off the tees and the large greens are undulating with water hazards that come into play on seven holes. The most scenic hole is number sixteen, a 141 yard par three, featuring an old railroad car used as a bridge to reach the hole's island green. Locals consider the finishing holes numbers thirteen through eighteen to be quite demanding because of the length and trouble combined. Lost Tracks Golf Club is one of the courses played during The Northwest Dodge Dealers Pacific Amateur Golf Classic brought to you by the Central Oregon Visitors Association and is the driving force for championship caliber amateur golf in the West. This prestigious event held in the fall is open to all amateur golfers who possess an established USGA Handicap.

If ever you've dreamed of playing championship golf, Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club is an opportunity you simply cannot afford to miss. This 36 hole masterpiece is one of the nation's pre-eminent semi-private golf clubs. Witch Hollow, the members only course, offers a superb traditional layout surrounded by dense stands of fir, maple, oak and ash.

Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club has been fully certified as an Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary System since January 1996. The course features acres of ecologically important wetlands. "It is a course of public note because of the major tournaments played there, but from an environmental perspective, it is also noteworthy as a sanctuary," wrote Ron Dobson, the president of Audubon International and founder of the Audubon Cooperative Sanctuary Program for Golf Courses. Complementing the extraordinary golf facilities at Pumpkin Ridge, each course features its own beautifully-appointed clubhouse including expansive banquet facilities for events of all sizes.

The moment you turn into the Reserve, the grape vines from the driveway announce that you are getting somewhere special! Once the magnificent clubhouse, camouflaged as a chateau, comes into sight you know you are there. This 36 hole masterpiece is one of the top golf courses in the region and provides two unique 18 hole courses that were designed by award-winning architects John Fought and Bob Cupp. Although they had previously collaborated, Pumpkin Ridge and the Crosswater Course at Sunriver, their goal at the Reserve was to work separately from each other and to create courses as different from the other as possible. The Fought Course is a traditional style with large greens, trees and a bunkering strategy that will leave you thinking that you were at the beach. The Cupp Course has a modern style with a variety of interesting ground shapes, fewer trees and bunkers plus several dramatic water features. The club is set up as a 36 hole private club that has up to 500 members. However, each day one of the two courses will be reserved exclusively for public play. This designation of private and public courses that alternate biweekly allows you to play both courses over time. The Reserve is dedicated to providing the Northwest's finest golf course playing conditions and customer service. The instructional areas include a 15 acre practice facility with expansive grass tees and two practice putting greens. With grapevines adorning the entryway, wine-tasting at the front entrance and its own private label served in the restaurant, The Reserve offers a full vineyard atmosphere.
