From the award-winning Silvies Valley Ranch to the John Day Golf Club, experienced and novice golfers alike have options to hit the links on some of the best greens in the west.

John Day Golf Club

The John Day Golf Club offers golfers a nine-hole regulation course that is open to both club members and visitors. The diverse terrain, flanked by high-desert hills, a tree-lined fairway, and a pond with two sturgeon and trout and two sand bunkers offer a unique challenge for golfers.

Golfers can work on their strokes and their putts year-round at the driving range and putting green, located right outside the clubhouse. Golf carts available for rent or golfers can bring their own. Select golf clubs are available to rent as well.

The club hosts tournaments and scrambles throughout the year. Visitors are encouraged to participate.

The clubhouse, which includes a full bar and a snack bar, also offers an additional dining room and a full kitchen that can be rented out for various events. For more information, call the John Day Golf Club at 541-575-0170.
