SUNRIVER, Ore., May 14, 2007 — Sunriver Resort, which in August hosts one of golf’s major championships, continues to be held in the highest regard by the nation’s leading golf course analysts:
Golf Digest. In its May issue, Golf Digest placed Sunriver Resort’s Crosswater course No. 32 in its ranking of "America’s 100 Greatest Public Golf Courses, 2007-08." It is the fifth consecutive time Crosswater has earned the bi-annual recognition.
Golf for Women. In its May/June issue, Golf for Women ranked Sunriver Resort as one of "The 25 Best Family Golf Resorts." In its overview, Golf for Women wrote, "The wild Northwest presents its tamer side, with three courses and amazing kids’ programs, but there’s plenty of outdoor adventure for Type A families."
Golfweek. In its March 10 issue, Golfweek placed Crosswater No. 69 in its ranking of "America’s 100 Best Modern Courses" for 2007. It is the third consecutive year that Crosswater has made the "Modern" list, symbolic of courses opened since 1960.
Sunriver Resort and its Crosswater course are the new home for the JELD-WEN Tradition, one of five majors on the Champions Tour, scheduled for Aug. 13-19. NBC will televise the weekend rounds, providing significant national exposure for the resort, which is located 15 miles south of Bend.
In addition to Crosswater, which is a Bob Cupp design, Sunriver Resort also features the Meadows (a John Fought design) and Woodlands (a Robert Trent Jones, Jr. design) golf courses, as well as state-of-the-art practice facilities and an Academy of Golf. The resort offers several attractive golf packages as well.
