History of the Championship
Dating back to 1905, the Oregon Open is one of the oldest championships in American golf. In its inaugural year, George Smith, a Scottish pro from Oakland, CA, claimed victory at Waverley Country Club with a then-course record 74—on fairways still grazed by sheep.
Since then, the event has hosted legends like Tommy Armour, Horton Smith, Chuck Congdon, Bob Duden, Bill Eggers, Jerry Mowlds, Pat Fitzsimons, Rick Acton, Peter Jacobsen, Jeff Coston, and Mike Davis. The current scoring record stands at 198, set by Brian Nosler in 2009 at Brasada Canyons.

Aspen Lakes Golf Course
Aspen Lakes Golf Course is a privately owned, public golf course in Sisters, OR. In 1988 the Cyrus
Family acquired a 1,084-acre parcel adjacent to their family farm. The first nine Aspen Lake golf holes
were constructed in 1996 under the watchful eye of world-class golf course architect William Overdorf,
with the second nine holes opening in 1999. Immaculately maintained bent grass fairways and multiple
tees combined with red sand bunkers create a playing experience unique to Aspen Lakes GC. The
signature red sand for the bunkers occurs naturally and originated on the Cyrus property. The deep red
sand creates a visual delight as it contrasts with the green grass, blue skies and white, snow-covered
mountains that are the Aspen Lakes Golf Course signature.
