Sunriver Resort

The course was in excellent condition, with near perfect tee boxes and wide fairways. It was challenging. Pace of play was great. Greens were a bit slower than what I was used to, but they were fair.

Don't waste your time greens were not in the great condition expected for the money. The fringe was not much of a fringe. Amenities also sad, with no drink girl seen. The carts were not in the best condition...though club drop personnel were very kind and respectful. If playing in Sun River and unwilling to drive 20-25 minutes to worth every dollar spent courses...go to Woodlands!

Nice course with beautiful fairways & greens. Pace of play was horrible! Lots of standing around & waiting for groups ahead. Marshall could helped out with the pace. Could of also been slow due to cart path only? You need to a code to enter the bathrooms; would of been great to know when we checked in rather than finding out at the 4th hole. I had to call the pro shop for the code and getting through their phone tree was fun... otherwise a good value.

Only problem was lots of single players were sent out after us which made us feel pushed

The course was OK. For me that is almost a negative review insomuch as we have seen and played much better courses for much less money. Because this is quite early in the season some of the features we are accustomed to were not available, such as: washrooms were not open, there no distance markers anywhere (a few sprinkler heads but that was it), no marshals to be seen and the greens were quite sandy which is understandable but...

I doubt very much we would play it again. Possibly the Meadows or the Crosswater courses but the pricing seems extravagant considering everything.

Don't play the latter part of October as we had frost delays. They also interfered with our round by shutting down the season...removing yardage markers, blowing out irrigation lines while groups were still playing.

This is where they hold many tournaments a must play and they have 2 other courses as well that are in great shape at a little lower cost to play.

We arrived at the course and found firstly the Pro Shop desk staff indifferent to us as customers.

Understanding that this is a resort course we knew that it would be more busy then other courses we played, but we weren't prepared for the extreme slow play we encountered. On the second hole the group ahead of us spent more then 10 minutes in the fairway at the refreshment cart while we waited to hit our second shots.After 2 holes we were 45 minutes on the course... ridiculous. We called out to them with no response. We stopped the cart spoke to the girl regarding the wait and slow play to ask her to report and send a Marshall out to get the game moving. Prior to tee off the starter warned us the group in front of us was more interested in the beer cart not golf. It was distressing to see them drive the power carts up on to the aprons of the greens and drive to the environmentally sensitive areas. We flagged down a grounds crew member and informed him of this situation. He called someone by the name of Len and reported what we had said, he also said we worked to hard to maintain the course conditions to let someone disrespect the course in this way. Someone would be out shortly, he described the group to Len. We never saw anyone come out to address the issues with the foursome ahead of us. I guess the resort is more concerned about keeping the resort guests happy then maintaining a degree of etiquette on the course. We breathed a sigh a of relief when we the foursomes stopped for lunch and we could get ahead of them. Bottom line slow play, beer cat, non - response from the Pro shop prompted this review. Posted photo of them driving their carts up on #8 par 3 close to the green, did this on all holes, no regards for the course. We as a fioursome do not have any intetrest in going back to this course.

My wife and I played on a midweek afternoon. Course is very nice and in a beautiful resort location. Lots of sand, sand, sand. At least 3 traps that surround every green so that is where the difficulty comes in. The fall colors were changing so it was a great round and the weather was in the 70's

This course is definitely one you will want to play...a good challenge with the new sand traps with long grass on the edge of the trap between you and the green.

This course is a good challenge for any level of golfer...fairways, traps and greens...all parts of your game.

Really enjoyed playing The Meadows at Sunriver. The course was in great shape and definitely provided a challenge!

Great and challenging layout, but tough on inaccurate players. Second cut of rough is difficult, third cut is impossible. Bunkers are the worst element of the Woodlands course, as sand is sparse and pebbly making bunker play more difficult than ordinarily.

Greens decent and roll true, but hard to hold.

However, layout and surroundings make up for any shortcomings.

Redone bunkers are excellent with new sand and new design. Greens are hard to hold, but roll true. Slightly elevated greens and thick second cut of rough present extra challenges.

Accuracy is a premium when playing this course.

A challenging, but fair course, with plenty of tree lined fairways. Need to keep it straight or you will either get blocked or a tree will knock down your ball. A few forced carries and water hazards waiting for the inadvertent slice. The course is usually in great shape and has lots of interesting holes.

Meadows is a great course, very fair and fun to play. Always in great condition. They rebuilt the bunkers last year and they are settling in nicely this year.

Sunriver Resort makes improvements to this course almost every year. This year the bunkers were redesigned, filled with great sand & fescue grass was installed around the edges to resemble a links course. This course is fun to walk & you will enjoy the layout. I would highly recommend adding this course to your bucket list.

One of the finest courses in Central Oregon. This course has some very interesting holes. The scenery is unmatched anywhere.

I am fortunate to be a resident of Sunriver and own a home on this course. I end up playing it once a week or more throughout the season. It is a fair but challenging course that tests the skills of golfers of all levels. The layout requires accurate drives, strategic approach shots, and the fast greens test that part of your game as well. There is water on a number of holes requiring risk-reward decisions that provide mental challenges as well as testing your shot making ability. The views and overall wooded nature of the course, along with plentiful wildlife, make it a beautiful course, if one takes the time to look.

While true of all courses here in Central Oregon, the weather is unbeatable - warm daytime temps with low humidity and sun nearly every day from June through September! What's not to like??? That said, don't be surprised by a short frost delay in the early morning, even in August -- the 4,500 ft elevation and clear nighttime skies will do that!!!
