History of the Championship
This championship dates back to 1905 when sheep mowed the fairways at Waverley CC. George Smith, a Scot from Oakland, CA, won the Oregon Open’s inaugural championship, including a course record 74. Little did he know that some of golf’s most prestigious names were to follow in his footsteps such as Tommy Armour, Horton Smith, Chuck Congdon, Bob Duden, Bill Eggers, Jerry Mowlds, Pat Fitzsimons, Rick Acton, Peter Jacobsen, Jeff Coston, and Mike Davis. And only three men have won the title three or more times; Bill Porter (3), Rick Acton (4), and Bob Duden (8). The tournament scoring record is held by Brian Nosler at 198, set in 2009 at Brasada Canyons.

Eagle Crest Resort – Ridge Course
The Ridge Course at Eagle Crest Resort has previously hosted the Northwest Open (1999 and 2002) and last hosted the Oregon Open in 2006. As a true Central Oregon favorite, it will make its return hosting PNWPGA majors at the 2023 Oregon Open. The course was designed by John Thronson, who was heavily involved in many PNW designs, notably at Running Y and Brasada Ranch. Since the day it opened back in 1993, the Ridge Course has been regarded as one of the most well-rounded courses you’ll ever play. It’s a course that has terrific flow and one that you will never get tired of playing. Carved out of an ancient juniper forest with views of the Cascades, the “Ridge Course” offers ample room off the tee and generously sized greens.
