The Reserve Vineyards and Golf Club - ALOHA,
By Dean Gregory – February 11, 2023
Come April 22 & 23, The Reserve Vineyard and Golf Club will once again be the host of the FCG National Tour. The region’s premiere golf destination has had its fairways graced by some of the greatest golf icons of all time. Nicklaus, Palmer, Watson, Trevino, Couples and Mickelson are just a few names who have left their mark here. Since its opening in 1997, the course has hosted the Peter Jacobsen Fred Meyer Challenge, the JELD-WEN Tradition and the Umpqua Bank Challenge.
The facility boasts two distinctly different championship courses, The North Course and The South Course. Designed by Bob Cupp, The North Course plays like it should be amongst the dunes of the Oregon Coast. The par 72 6,840-yard link-styled layout features undulating grass mounds on the fairways with challenging greens. Bunkers throughout are strategically placed to make you stop and think your way around the course.
Or
The South Course, which was designed by former PGA Tour player John Fought is just one of the many gems he has built in the Pacific Northwest. It is a traditional course with tree-lined holes, 60 bunkers and naturally rolling fairways that requires a strategy to always be on your toes to navigate your way around the course. The par 72 plays longer than The North that measures up to 7,172 yards which includes a 605-yard par 5.
Both courses, like many in the Pacific Northwest, is lushly green and distractedly beautiful. It’s really easy to forget that you’re playing golf because of the relaxing views which add to the challenge for golfers of all levels. The Reserve Vineyard and Golf Club is definitely a stop to make if you’re looking to golf in the Portland area.
