he best of Southern Oregon golf is on display at
Centennial Golf Club, opened in 2006 to rave reviews
Tby players and golf publications alike. Located in
Medford, the course was designed by two-time PGA TOUR
winner, and native Oregonian, John Fought. Centennial Golf
Club is a traditional links-style layout, with rolling hills
offering scenic views and capturing vistas of the surrounding
mountains in all directions.
Total course yardage ranges from 5,244 yards (Rose tees) to
over 7,300 yards (Black tees), offering players of all abilities
a fair test of golf. To many, the 452-yard par-4 3rd is regarded
as the facility’s signature hole. Well-bunkered and playing
uphill to a challenging green complex, the hole is one of the
most difficult tests in the region. As golfers head to the back
nine the drivable 13th hole, 306 yard par-4, is an ideal risk/
reward test for players daring enough to go for it off the tee.
Requiring a carry over a pond in front of the tee-box, golfers
must elude well-positioned bunkers surrounding a narrow
green to find the putting surface.
In addition to great golf, Centennial has also become a
popular regional location for weddings and events. With
full-service amenities, including catering and multiple
venue options, the ideal weather that often blesses the Rogue
Valley year round make a destination to Centennial Golf
Club definitely worth the trip.
