Crosswater at Sunriver Resort - A Must See for 2009!
Sunriver Resort is one of Oregon’s premier destinations for golf, serving up ample challenges for players of all skill levels. The gem of Sunriver Resort’s 63 holes of golf, a Destination Hotels & Resorts property, lies in the heathland-style course, Crosswater. Carefully designed to preserve the natural beauty of the area, Crosswater is situated on 600 magnificently scenic acres of woodlands and preserved wetlands and is threaded by the gently flowing Deschutes and Little Deschutes Rivers.
Honored by Golf Digest as one of “America’s 100 Greatest,” Crosswater, a premier Robert E. Cupp 18 hole championship design golf course, is one of the only 150 courses in the United States to be a certified Audubon Sanctuary through the Audubon Society of New York State. “It is simply not possible to find a better manicured course anywhere in the world. Period.” says Golf Digest. The layout features tremendous variety giving golfers the option of crossing the waters of the Little Deschutes River up to seven times.
From the first tee to the final hole, Crosswater challenges golfers of all ages and skill levels. A few highlights include: hole five, a 460-yard epic par four where the long approach demands crossing the wetlands which makes it among the toughest holes on the course and hole twelve , a 687-yard par five, which has lake in play and provides a beautiful view of Mt. Bachelor. Not only will golf enthusiasts experience the unparalleled breathtaking views of the Cascade Mountains, they can also test their skills on the same course graced by seasoned professionals.
Crosswater is home to the JELD-WEN Tradition, an official event on the PGA Tour Champions Tour-Oregon’s largest golf tournament, and one of the five major championships on the Champions Tour. The seventh annual JELD-WEN Tradition, Oregon’s biggest professional golf tournament and one of the five major championships on the Champions Tour, will be held at Sunriver Resort August 17-23, 2009.
