This hole can get your round off on a good note-provided you hit the fairway. The fairway
slopes steeply from right to left and golfers must be aware of out-of-bounds on the left side.
Shots missing the green to the left will roll down the slope away from the green so favor the
right side if possible.       355 348 322

A medium-length par 4, this hole doglegs slightly to the right. The green is elevated and
protected by a sand trap on the left and a grass bunker on the right. Again, an out-of-bounds fence runs down the entire left side of the hole.       397 378 328

Go for the green if you want on this driveable, dog-leg left par 4, but be aware that you
must carry the ball all the way to the green to avoid the pond. Hitting a long iron or fairway
wood to the right side of the fairway to guard against the pond on the left will leave only a
short pitch to a large green.       285 273 240

The toughest par 3 on the course, this hole usually plays into the wind and requires a well-hit
shot to reach and hold the putting surface. The green itself is hump-backed and the effective landing area is smaller than it looks. Irons hit pin-high to the right or left will leave difficult recoveries. The green is protected on the front by traps right and left leaving a small opening
for run-up shots. Par on this hole will be well-earned.       202 192 128

If the pond on the left side and the creek crossing the fairway at about 175 yards out are successfully avoided, this short par 5 can be reached in two by many golfers. The green is
well protected, though, by a deep bunker in front and a severe right-to-left slope. Par may
not be a difficult score on this hole, but birdies are still hard to achieve.      464 454 435

Drives on this dogleg left must favor the right side of the fairway as a large tree overhanging the left side of the fairway often blocks second shots. If the drive is not hit crisply golfers may consider laying up as a creek crosses just in front of the green and wraps around the right side.  386 379 341

This very short par 3 is described by the course architect, Bill Robinson, as a "drop shot".
The tee sits some 20 vertical feet above the green making it difficult to judge the strength
of the tee shot. A large grassy bank behind the green will assist you since balls hit long will
tend to roll back down onto the green.       92 85 80

A well hit drive down the left side will leave an open shot to this left-to-right sloping green.
Drives to the right however will have to carry a large trap to find the putting surface.

The home hole is a straight-away par 4 that gains much of its difficulty from the prevailing northerly breeze. Traps and grassy mounds surround the green making chip shots interesting.

The back 9 starts with a short par 3 across a deep gully. The green is cut into the opposing
hill, leaving everything except a short drive with a difficult chip to a green that slopes from
back to front. As on hole 5, short is substantially better than long when the green is playing fast. 171 151 116

A par 5 that is just short enough to make longer hitters feel they can reach the green in 2,
but long enough to make that rare, this hole is a good birdie opportunity. Out-of-bounds
as well as a number of trees guard the right side in the driving area. Favor the right side,
though, with your second shot to avoid having to deal with a small tree close to the green.
The green is divided in two by a swale. When the pin is on the right, leave your approach shot below the pin to avoid a large-breaking, fast, downhill putt.       506 493 443

Though short, this hole is deceptive since you cannot see the surface of the green from the
tee. Play a little more club than you think because of the elevated green.

Again, an out-of-bounds line runs along the left side. Because of the hillside on the left,
drives in that direction will tend to bounce down to the right toward the fairway. A drive
down the left side will avoid flirting with the mounds and side hill lies on the right, but will probably have to come in to the pin over a protecting trap. Playing the right opens up the approach, but the preferred landing area is small.      340 328 318

This par 3 plays to a green elevated some 40 feet above the tee, making club selection
difficult. The green is wide but quite shallow. Balls hit over the green will find themselves
in native sagebrush and bogey will be a good score.

A long par 4 with out-of-bounds left, this downhill hole requires two good shots to reach
the large green. In the summer, this hole usually plays into the prevailing wind. A creek
crosses the fairway approximately 275 from the back tees. Even from the white tees only
longer hitters can carry the stream. Laying up means at least 180 yards to a green protected
by traps on the right and rear.

Number 16 Fairway, Quail Ridge Municipal golf course Baker City Oregon.

A wide-open hole with no out-of-bounds. Feel free to give it all you've got. You'll need two
good shots to get in range of the green on this 599-yard hole. The green slopes sharply away
on the front and left so your approach should favor the right side-just beware of the small
bunker guarding the right front.      599 574 528

A short par 4, this hole provides a birdie opportunity for all golfers, regardless of their length.
The green is well guarded by traps right and left as well as by a large tree on the right. Your
drive must favor the left side of the fairway to have a clear opening to the relatively flat green.

You return to the clubhouse on this gentle dogleg right par 4. Drives cutting the corner of the dogleg run the risk of finding the slope down to the first fairway leaving a tough recovery. A good drive will leave a short-to-medium iron to a green protected by traps on both sides.     398 375 314
