Valley Golf Club

Valley Golf Club in Hines sits near Burns in Harney County, the largest county by area in Oregon and one of the most sparsely populated in the entire American West. The high desert here runs at roughly 4,100 feet; summer afternoons are warm and dry, nights drop sharply, and the surrounding landscape is sagebrush, rimrock, and alkali flat as far as the eye reaches. Golf in this setting carries a particular character — the course is a community institution in a town where recreational choices are limited and the nearest alternative layouts are hours away.
