Juniper Golf Course

Fun course and layout, great condition, greens can be super fast. Enjoy rounds and tournaments here. Not sure what the deal with this tree is?

Probably the best true public (municipal) golf course on the west coast and one of the best in America. Course is very high quality for a muni. Some locals call it Pronghorn Junior (in ref to the resort courses at The Preserve, nearby) Pros: 1. Fairways are pristine and well maintained. Tee boxes too. 2. Greens are excellent, however, bear in mind, this is a fully open public course, so it gets lots of play by higher handicappers and recreational golfers. 3. Except for a few holes, the bunkers are in good shape, but due to splash, some may need to be replenished with sand a little more often. 4. Excellent practice facilities! Especially the back of the range for members. Chipping practice area behind the restaurant is huge. Putting practice green is big and true to actual greens. 5. Also, Juniper has the best PDP membership program in the west. Probably the entire country. Pay 50.00 per month for membership fee, plus 23.00 per round, including cart and range balls, after 1:00. Playing at least twice per month pays for itself and you can use the practice facilities anytime. This also has reciprocals at other courses in CO. 6. Juniper hosts some great Am tournaments including OGA, NWGG, and PNGA. 7. Bev Cart is usually very active between 9 and 5, and 8. The View restaurant at the turn is great! Some cons: 1. Pace of play can be ridiculously slow. RIDICULOUSLY slow! Especially if you are playing behind beginners or families...and most of the time, Juniper does not enforce pace of play rules. If you are a single on a slow day, play late, or try jumping around to gap holes to get them all in, if you can. 2. The greens do get a lot of traffic (lots of three and four jackers sashaying back and forth over the hole) and, unfortunately, many players do not repair their divots, so bring a divot tool and be prepared to fix a few extra. 3. There may be some GUR areas on a few greens that may be temporarily roped off, early in the season. But, not a big deal. 4. It can get WINDY in the afternoons during late fall, spring and summer. Weather can change quickly too. Know the forecast. 5. Juniper will have several temp greens during cold months of winter. Call the pro shop or check their website prior to see if temps are being used. Overall, Juniper is one of the west's great courses with great staff.

Top notch public course in Central Oregon. Course was in great shape and the views throughout are awesome. Great course to walk and take everything in. Saw the beverage cart person many times and they have cold water available throughout. Bar and Grill has some great food at affordable prices and even better views. Adds some pressure to those finishing up on 18.
