Team entries are now available for the Senior Oregon Open Invitational at Wildhorse Resort and Casino on July 30 – Aug 1, 2024. PGA Director of Golf Michael Hegarty and Michael Wood, PGA are looking forward to hosting again this year for the 22nd anniversary of Wildhorse Resort’s sponsorship! We are excited for a number of reasons, but don’t just take it from us—here are Jeff Coston’s favorite things about the Senior Oregon Open.
“The Oregon Senior Open is a highlight during the summer. The weather makes me feel 25 again. The course is fun. The people are friendly. The hotel and food are wonderful. The tournament is like a vacation.”
– Jeff Coston, PGA
The PNW PGA’s Most Popular Senior Tournament

Wildhorse Resort GC & The Golf Course at Birch Creek
Wildhorse championship golf course was designed by John Steidel. Nestled at the base of mountains and wide open terrain, the course is modeled after a traditional Scottish links-style course with plenty of bunkers and tall grass lurking to make you work a little harder than usual. Each hole is surrounded by spectacular, unobstructed vistas with gentle rolling hills and fairway mounds reflecting the foothills of the Blue Mountains. The clubhouse was completely remodeled in 2019.
After we played The Golf Course at Birch Creek in 2020, we decided to expand the field in 2022 and enjoy both the amazing track at Wildhorse and the Golf Course at Birch Creek!
Wildhorse Resort and Casino is also home to over 1,200 slot machines plus all your favorite table games including roulette, craps, poker, blackjack, keno and bingo.
