Say hello to the South Course at The Reserve Vineyards and Golf Club near Portland, Oregon
ALOHA, Ore. -- The Reserve Vineyards and Golf Club, located near Beaverton and just west of Portland, is one of this area's top semi-private golf clubs, featuring 36 holes set on 350 scenic acres.
The club, which opened in 1997, has two courses, the North and the South. About every two weeks, they alternate which course is open to the public.
Bob Cupp designed the North, while John Fought laid out the South. The South carries the reputation of being a little tougher, as it hosted the JELD-WEN Tradition and the Fred Meyer Challenge, hosted by native Oregonian Peter Jacobsen. It also plays longer and has more sand traps (114 in total), plus a fair amount of water hazards in the form of streams and small ponds. Notable design traits include a shared double green between the 11th and 17th, separated by a small pot bunker.
Reserve Vineyards facilities include a 40,000-square-foot clubhouse and a comprehensive practice facility. Both golf courses were laid out to be easily walkable, like most courses in this golfer-friendly state.
