At the base of the Blue Mountains in the town of Pendleton, Oregon you’ll find two spectacular golf courses. The Wildhorse Resort Golf Course and the Golf Course at Birch Creek feature 18 holes of championship golf, beautiful lakes, long fairways and deep bunkers, all making the perfect mix for challenging play. In facet the resort played host to the LPGA’s Epson Tour, which proved to be another successful event.
Designed by legendary golf architect, John Steidel, the Wildhorse Resort Golf Course can play long or short with four sets of tees ranging from 5,718 yards at the front to 7,128 yards from the championship tees. The course also plays host to the Oregon Senior Open every year. There is also a driving range, practice green, and a newly expanded full service Pro Shop and swing simulator. Pick up on the turn and enjoy delicious breakfast, lunch, or dinner from the new Clubhouse Bar and Grill.
Nestled near the site of a historic encampment of the Cayuse Indians lies a 248-acre golf oasis. Formally known as Pendleton Country Club, the Golf Course at Birch Creek is now owned by the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation and operated by Wildhorse Resort & Casino. Located just seven miles south of town, the par 72 golf course settles gently into rolling wheat fields and is divided by the meandering Birch Creek where golfers can see native fish or roaming deer as you make your drive.
The perfect getaway is waiting for you in Wildhorse Resort and Casino’s 10-story Tower Hotel, tent and teepee sites, an outdoor pool, and provides quick shuttle transportation to and from the casino.
The RV park has 100 paved site with free Wi-Fi and a swimming pool. Big-rig friendly and backup pads if you choose.
