Crosswater Golf Course

An awesome golf course. We came up on a short golf trip and played 4 courses in 2.5 days and this was my favorite of the four, others included both Pronghorn courses and Brasada. I thought the layout was fun and challenging and the course conditions were near perfect. The practice area is very nice as well. The views were amazing from most holes. If you're in the area, you should definitely give it a try.

Beautiful and well kept golf course. The staff members were friendly and you definitely feel very exclusive. You will need to be a guest at the Sunriver to get a tee time.

I absolutely enjoyed playing this course. This course was in impeccable condition and the scenery adds the perfect ambience for a great round of golf. Greens were tricky but still playable. This was one of my best rounds I played.

The Course is manicured year round, and that is the type of course that brings back golfers! We were able to fly our drone over the course to see how it has held up over the winter months, and we were stoked to see the beauty of the course! See you in July!

Fantastic course. It is private, so you'll need a way in if you're not a member. But try your best to get on if you can. Really great layout and well manicured. Probably the fastest and smoothest greens in Central Oregon. Mind you there are a couple of other private courses that I haven't played.

Great weekend with amazing golf course, even better staff and a completely accommodating lodging. You may pay more but wow you won’t be disappointed at all!!

Pace of play was disappointing, waited on almost every shot. Group ahead of us were playing from the blues and were looking for balls in the hazard area all the time. Marshall drove by and no change of pace was made. Course condition was good, although greens were running slow. Pin placements on a few holes were really challenging. Bunkers were good and had consistent sand.

The course has a beautiful layout. Generous fairways leading to some challenging greens. Well maintained greens that roll nicely and are well designed. The hazard areas are plentiful and very hard to get out of. Most of them require a drop. The course is well worth at least one round. I would definitely go again.👍

Golfers this is a top ranked golf club by Golf Digest. Definitely worth the $175 GF. The views are outstanding the design as well. Water in almost every hole with the river running through it. The green complexes are super unique as well. The staff was also fantastic from check in, to the golf shop staff, the starter, and even the snack bar lady. Clearly they all love their jobs. We loved it as a family and will be back.

In a world of Amazing golf courses what makes this place stand out is the staff. Everyone was professional and just all around a pleasure to be around. From check in pro staff to the drink cart operator. You will find it difficult not to love this place. My only complaint is that I wish it would be easier to find my lost balls.

Crosswater is a private golf course located just south of Sunriver. Being part of the Sunriver Resort group of facilities, you normally can play it only as a patron of the resort (stay and play deals, and such). No public tee times. We got to play as part of the Veteran Golfers Association, but at a steep price ($145). Apparently the course has hosted some professional tournaments, including The Tradition, a PGA Champions Tour major championship. - Greens are immaculate, roll true and are generally fair in terms of pin placement. Many have aprons that you can easily putt from. - Fairways are in great shape. If you hit the fairway, you'll be rewarded with a good lie almost every time. - The rough is punitive, comprising tall, thick and lumpy grasses. Very easy to lose a ball and it's everywhere. - Bunkers are sub-standard and there are a lot of them. The complaint is all the rocks in the sand. When we played, it was after (and during) significant rain and the sand was saturated, so I can't really speak to how the sand plays when dry (other than having rocks). - Forced carries over water and the thick rough abound. If you don't have a reliable 'carry' shot, you'll be in trouble at Crosswater. The Deschutes and Little Deschutes Rivers wind through the course, so expect to have to deal with that. - Course design is good. No boring golf here. - Carts are good - electric with an onboard GPS. Note that they are programmed to limit speed to a crawl if you attempt to enter the parking lot (why some few courses have a no parking lot rule for carts is beyond me). We did notice that at the end of the round (late afternoon), the no parking lot feature was disabled, allowing us to unload directly into our cars. The carts will also slow when traveling over the numerous bridges on the course. - Nice practice facilities, including a short game/bunker area. Crosswater members have a separate block of driving range stations. Mere peons (non-members) are relegated to the other one. But they are identical. Good practice balls are already provided - no need to buy a bucket. - I didn't partake much of the clubhouse facilities, so I can't speak to them. The clubhouse looks to be a fine one, though, if you're a member. Overall, Crosswater is an excellent course. I would say that its biggest fault, if you can call it that, is being pretty difficult for everyone who isn't a low handicapper. A 200 hundred yard par 3 from the whites and the golds is an example of that. They need to get the rocks out of the bunker sand too.

Decent course, but a too expensive for a course that is medium decent. $175 per person green fees. If you live there and get it for free or discounted rate, great. Otherwise, too expensive.
