About this course
John Day Golf Club is a nine-hole golf course in eastern Oregon's Grant County, located a few miles west of the city of John Day. The semi-private course opened in 1953 and sits in a high-desert setting near the John Day River.
The layout features tree-lined fairways, small greens, and elevation changes that can create uneven lies, playing to a par of 35 from the longest tees. Bent grass greens and buffalo grass fairways make up the playing surfaces.
The club welcomes visitors as well as members, with rental carts, pull carts, and a clubhouse patio overlooking the course. Tee times are typically arranged by phone rather than online booking.

Silvies Valley Ranch - Hankins Course
Seneca, OR · 34 mi away
The Hankins Course at Silvies Valley Ranch in Seneca, Oregon was designed by Dan Hixson and opened in 2017. It shares a reversible-routing concept with the ranch's Craddock Course, so the direction of play changes daily to create different layouts, pin placements and tee options. Hankins plays to a par of 72 across 7,075 yards, free of water hazards but guarded by more than one hundred bunkers, with nine double greens shared with Craddock. The closing par 5, known as the Hixson Hole, runs along the boundary fence. The remote, 140,000-acre working cattle ranch surrounds the course with high-desert scenery.
Silvies Valley Ranch - Craddock Course
Seneca, OR · 34 mi away
The Craddock Course is one of two reversible 18-hole layouts at Silvies Valley Ranch, a working ranch in eastern Oregon near Seneca, at roughly 5,000 feet of elevation. The course runs along ridges overlooking the valley, with more than a hundred bunkers but no water hazards. The course was designed by Dan Hixson, who also built the companion Hankins course; the routing direction is reversed daily, so shared greens produce different rounds depending on the day. The project took about eight years to complete after ranch owner Scott Campbell brought in Hixson. Silvies Valley Ranch operates as a resort destination with lodging on site, and golf access is tied to staying at or visiting the ranch. Significant elevation changes and the high-desert altitude are practical considerations for visiting golfers.
