GON SPECIAL TRAVEL SECTION
FROM THE LAND OF PORTLAND BREWS TO THE HIGH DESERT— OREGON HAS IT ALL
With a variety of terrain and climates, an abundance of majestic scenery and some of the finest
courses to be found anywhere, Oregon has developed a firm grip as one of the top golf desti-
nations in the country. From the high desert of Central and Eastern Oregon, to the unique wonder of
the Oregon Coast, to the lush forestry that defines the Willamette Valley, the traditions of the game
are honored on golf courses offering classic design elements infused with modern philosophy and
amenities.
For those visiting Eastern Oregon with a desire for golf and gambling,
Wildhorse Resort and Casino is the ideal destination. Just four miles
east of historic Pendleton, the course features generous landing areas off
the tee and a consistent mix of holes, ranging in yardage from 5,700 yards
(Red/forward tees) to over 7,100 yards (Gold/championship tees). Tall grass
surrounds and well-positioned bunkers play a prominent role in the design,
offering a pleasing visual experience that is well-suited for players of all
abilities.
The 16th hole at Wildhorse, a 172 yard par 3, is widely considered its
signature hole. “The 16th green is protected on three sides by water, and
the green is very narrow from front to back,” says Mike Hegarty, PGA
head professional. “Even well struck tee shots are often difficult to hold.”
Wildhorse Resort Golf Course has been identified by Golf Digest as one of
America’s Top Casino Golf Courses. With a variety of activity options, this
resort is an ideal Stay and Play destination for golfers and non-golfers alike.
