The Reserve Vineyards and Golf CLub

The Reserve Vineyards and Golf Club's South Course is a John Fought design located in Aloha, Oregon, in the western suburbs of Portland. Fought, a former U.S. Amateur champion and Oregon native, has built a substantial portfolio of courses in the Pacific Northwest, and this layout reflects his understanding of the region's terrain and playing conditions. The property sits within Oregon's wine country, with vineyard parcels integrated into the golf landscape, giving the course its distinctive setting among the residential and agricultural character of the Tualatin Valley. The routing works through gently rolling terrain with stands of Douglas fir and oak defining corridors and framing holes. Fought's design emphasizes strategic variety rather than overwhelming length, with multiple tee options allowing the course to accommodate different skill levels. Water features come into play on several holes, and bunkering is positioned to reward accurate placement off the tee and on approaches. The greens tend toward moderate size with subtle internal contours that require careful reading. The Reserve operates as a private club and maintains both the South Course and a companion North Course, also designed by Fought. The club's vineyard connection extends to its amenities, with wine production and tasting integrated into the member experience. The South Course serves as the primary championship layout for club competitions and has hosted regional amateur events, taking advantage of the course's balance between playability and challenge within the context of Oregon golf.
