Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed Eagle Point Golf Club, which opened in 1996 along the Rogue River valley in southern Oregon. The layout makes dramatic use of the high desert terrain east of Medford, routing holes across volcanic rock outcroppings, native bunch grasses, and elevation changes that few courses in the Pacific Northwest can match. It earned a reputation quickly as one of Oregon's finest public courses and has regularly appeared on regional and national best-of lists.
The design plays to the natural drama of the Rogue Valley — wide Rogue River vistas, the jagged backdrop of the Cascade and Siskiyou ranges, and a landscape that shifts from irrigated fairways into rugged high-desert scrub. Wind is a genuine factor here, and the routing uses the topography rather than fighting it, producing a round that demands shot-shaping and strategic thinking over raw power.
Eagle Point sits about 15 minutes from Medford, Oregon's largest city in the south of the state, making it the kind of destination that warrants a detour off I-5 for any serious golfer passing through the region.
