Golf Course Review Juniper Golf Course Redmond Oregon

Golf Playing Conditions 8.53 GREAT

Played 6/4, walked as a single 7:30, not too many people on the course before 8.

Really liked this course, and could see this as my home course if I lived here.

Course is in great shape. Interesting course that meanders back and forth across a valley. Essentially sweeping elevation changes and the course goes up and down the valley. It has some great views of the Sisters and Broken Top peaks.

Greens stimped about a 10. I played the 6500 yd layout (second from the back), and if I could do it again, I’d play the Blue/white combo of about 6300. There are some really really long holes on the 6500 yd layout. A 616 par 5, some 200 yd par 3s.

Bottom-line, if you are looking for a reprieve from resort triple digit green fees, Juniper will give you a good time.

Played Willows Run Eagle’s Talon yesterday (Sunday, 2/3/19) and found it to be in decent winter shape.

Greens are very nice, rolling pretty smooth at a medium slow pace. The rest of the course feels much more like winter golf here. The fairways are quite wet in places, the rough is pretty long and lush, and the bunkers are really awful. Tee boxes are a bit beat up, and could probably benefit from the markers being moved around a bit. No drink cart, and the shack at the turn was closed as well, which was a bit disappointing. I can’t blame them though, as there was almost nobody there. It was kind of nice having the place to ourselves, and the quality of the greens certainly made up for any of the other shortcomings of the conditions.

I’m also really glad I got the round in, as we got about half a foot of snow last night, and today’s high temperature was about 30. I’m afraid it’ll be a little while before I get back out.
