If you're a golfer and you're driving through Southern Oregon, check out the new Myrtle Creek Golf Course, and check in at the nearby Seven Feathers Hotel & Casino Resort.

The golf course is nestled in a pastoral setting beside a historic covered bridge among the "hundred valleys of the Umpquas," just minutes from Interstate 5.

The Myrtle Creek course became Oregon's latest contribution to great golf with its spring 1997 opening. Designed by one of Canada's top players and course architects, Graham Cooke, the course is open daily to the public under the professional management of Golf Resources Northwest. Tee times are available up to 30 days in advance.
