Head Golf Professional jobs in Oregon

Overview

Terrebonne, OR (in beautiful Central Oregon) Welcome to Crooked River Ranch GC, home of one of the most spectacular holes in golf, the No.

5 Canyon hole. Here you will catch a view of the beautiful Crooked River Canyon and the river from hundreds of feet above.

The ultimate challenge for those worthy, is to hit the tee shot across the corner of the canyon wall to the green. At a mere 221 yards to cut the corner, it is just the fear of losing a ball and strokes to par that makes it tough.

This is just one of many fabulous sites you will experience as you make your way around the course. The CRR layout is a par 71 and features three sets of tees, and yardages range from 5,000 to 5,818 at the tips.

Besides golfers, CRR is home to abundant wildlife including Golden Eagles and Red Tail Hawks. Our Famous #5 Canyon Hole.
