About this course
Centennial Golf Club in Medford, Oregon, opened in 1991 as a John Fought design situated in the Rogue Valley of southern Oregon. The course occupies rolling terrain with views of the surrounding Cascade and Siskiyou mountain ranges, typical of the region's high-elevation landscape. Fought, a University of Oregon graduate and 1977 U.S. Amateur champion who has designed numerous courses throughout the Pacific Northwest, created a layout that works with the natural contours and native vegetation of the site. The routing moves through varied topography with elevation changes that define the character of the round. Fairways are framed by mature pines and oaks, and the design incorporates natural drainage corridors and seasonal water features. The course plays as a traditional parkland layout with strategic bunkering and greens that require careful approach work. Fought's design philosophy emphasizes playability for a range of skill levels while maintaining challenge through thoughtful positioning rather than excessive length or forced carries. Centennial serves as a daily-fee facility in the Medford area, providing public access golf in a region known more for its pear orchards and wine country than for dense golf course development. The club operates within the context of southern Oregon's recreational landscape, where outdoor activities center on the nearby Rogue River and Crater Lake National Park to the northeast.

Getting there
Centennial Golf Club sits in the high desert of southern Oregon, most readily accessed via Medford-Jackson County Airport (MFR), a regional hub roughly ninety minutes south of Portland International (PDX) for those arriving on major carriers. The drive from Medford winds through the Rogue Valley's wine country and ponderosa pine forests, a gentle ascent into the foothills where the landscape opens into the spare, sun-drenched terrain that defines this corner of Oregon's interior. Private aviation options at Medford-Jackson provide a more direct entry for those seeking discretion, with the airfield positioned just minutes from the club's elevated perch. The final approach to Centennial carries you away from the valley floor and into the quiet, high-elevation setting where the course commands sweeping views of the surrounding ridgelines - a fitting arrival at one of the Pacific Northwest's most architecturally distinctive private layouts.
