Southern Oregon’s beautiful scenery, mild climate, and wide variety of courses make it an inviting destination for golfers of nearly every skill level. From relaxed nine-hole outings to challenging championship layouts, the Rogue Valley offers plenty of opportunities to enjoy a day on the fairways. Guests staying at Country Willows Inn & Estate can pair a round of golf with everything else the region has to offer, including wineries, restaurants, scenic drives, theater, and charming small-town shopping.
Oak Knoll Golf Course
The closest option is Ashland’s Oak Knoll Golf Course, a welcoming nine-hole municipal course with lovely views of Grizzly Peak and Pilot Rock. Open year-round, Oak Knoll provides an enjoyable and approachable experience for both experienced golfers and those simply looking for a casual morning or afternoon on the course. Its convenient Ashland location means golfers can finish their round and still have plenty of time to explore downtown, enjoy a leisurely meal, visit a nearby winery, or return to Country Willows for a quiet evening among the gardens.
A short drive north opens up even more possibilities in Medford and the surrounding Rogue Valley. Centennial Golf Club features a championship course built on the site of a historic pear orchard, with a thoughtfully designed layout and expansive valley views. Quail Point offers a more relaxed nine-hole experience, while Stone Ridge Golf Club combines an 18-hole championship course with sweeping views of the surrounding foothills and mountains. Together, these courses provide a wonderful range of options for golfers seeking anything from a quick round to a full day on the links.
Eagle Point Golf Club
Farther north, Eagle Point Golf Club is one of Southern Oregon’s premier golf destinations. Its public, 18-hole championship course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr. and includes six sets of tees, allowing golfers to choose the level of challenge that best suits their game. Those interested in venturing farther through the valley can also head west toward Grants Pass and Dutcher Creek Golf Course, where peaceful pastureland and panoramic mountain views create a distinctly Southern Oregon experience. Wherever you choose to play, Country Willows offers a relaxing home base where you can unwind after your round and enjoy five quiet acres of gardens, ponds, trails, and countryside.
