23 SILVIES VALLEY RANCH GOLF CLUB- HANKINS COURSE GOLF CLUB- HANKINS COURSE PAR 5 ● 590 YARDS SENECA, OR Surrounded by the Malhuer National Forest with seventeen million acres of uninterrupted spectacular scenery, The Retreat at Silvies Valley Ranch provides one of North America's most spectacular vistas and an exceptional collection of six distinctive courses spread across a working ranch of 150,000 acres. You can tee off on two championship 18-hole courses, uniquely designed to be reversible—a nod to the ancient links of Scotland and the first of their kind in the United States! The resort also includes an 18-hole "reversible" putting course, a 7-hole Challenge Course, and a scenic par 3 course. You will also find two Disc golf courses. Among this stunning natural vista sit the championship Craddock and Hankins courses, designed by Dan Hixson. Both the Craddock and Hankins's course direction is reversed each day, creating a different layout with varied pin placements and tee box options, resulting in thousands of unique rounds. In the Eastern Oregon Desert, the courses are free of water hazards, but more than 100 strategically placed bunkers are incorporated into both courses' designs. Golfers discover something extraordinary in McVeigh's Gauntlet, a 7-hole challenge course designed for target golf. Chief Egan offers a quick game on a 9-hole mountain meadow par-3 course that provides a relaxed yet exciting experience that utilizes goat caddies. Ask for Mike, Bruce or one of the new caddies! The serene and spacious surroundings, combined with a variety of golf experiences, make a visit to The Retreat at Silvies Valley Ranch truly unforgettable. Of note is the 590-yard final hole on the Hankins 18, a downhill stretch that promises an exhilarating finish. As you drive down this vast valley fairway, the U-shaped contours offer both a forgiving path and an opportunity for skilled players to exploit a speed slot. A well-placed drive might set up the possibility of finishing your round with a celebratory birdie or even eagle, all while taking in the breathtaking descent. Silvies Valley Ranch, with its natural grandeur and innovative design, is a testament to the enduring appeal and adaptability of the game.
