Crosswater, a testament to championship golf in the heart of Central Oregon's high desert, was sculpted from a canvas of wetlands and native grasses. Designed by Bob Cupp, this modern marvel is not easily tamed; its expansive fairways belie the strategic challenges presented by numerous water hazards and subtly undulating greens. The generous landing areas cater to golfers who like to grip it and rip it, though accuracy is handsomely rewarded when navigating the doglegs and risk-reward par 5s. Crosswater has hosted significant amateur events, solidifying its reputation as a demanding but fair test of golfing ability. The course, a core amenity of Sunriver Resort, complements the area's natural beauty and is a favored destination for those seeking an upscale golf experience without the stuffiness of some elite clubs. The resort's relaxed atmosphere extends to the golf course, where a welcoming attitude prevails. Many members, drawn by the promise of year-round outdoor recreation, enjoy post-round gatherings at the clubhouse, often recounting tales of near misses and hard-fought pars amidst the stunning Cascade Mountain backdrop. The club is celebrated for its casual elegance, and the absence of pretense makes it a favorite with families and seasoned golfers alike.
