Centennial Golf Club To Open in May

Centennial Golf Club in Medford, Ore., will be the site of a grand opening on Saturday, May 20th. Designed by two-time PGA Tour winner and 1977 U.S. Amateur champion, John Fought, Centennial features a 7,323-yard, par-72 layout. Other Fought designs or co-designs in his home state of Oregon include Pumpkin Ridge (Ghost Creek and Witch Hollow), Crosswater and Meadows Course at Sunriver Resort, Langdon Farms Golf Club, and The Reserve Golf Club.

“We are all very excited to announce the grand opening dates and look forward to the opportunity to have everyone play and experience Centennial Golf Club,” said Dave Goff, vice president of operations for OB Sports. The management company will oversee the operations at Centennial Golf Club and the neighboring nine-hole Quail Point Golf Course. “The golf course at Centennial will be highlighted by spectacular views, impeccable course conditions and a unique ‘classic design’ that is unlike any other in the region.”
