Sunriver, OR

Crosswater in Sunriver, Oregon, opened in 1995 and was designed by Bob Cupp with John Fought. The course is routed across meadow and wetland where the Deschutes and Little Deschutes rivers meet, with Mount Bachelor visible from much of the property. Water and marsh are the defining hazards. Several holes ask for a carry over wetland from the tee or into the green, and the rivers themselves cross the routing. Fairways are generous where they can be and the course stretches past 7,600 yards from the back tees. Play is restricted to Sunriver Resort guests and club members, which keeps the course quiet through the season.
