Stewart Meadows

Stewart Meadows is a public golf course in Medford, Oregon, designed by Chuck Mangum and opened in the late 1990s. The course sits in the Rogue Valley of southern Oregon, a region known for its warm, dry summers and mild climate that supports year-round golf. The layout occupies relatively flat terrain with views toward the surrounding mountains that frame the valley, including glimpses of the Cascade Range to the east. Mangum's design at Stewart Meadows emphasizes playability for a wide range of golfers while incorporating strategic elements that reward thoughtful course management. The routing features generous fairways bordered by mature trees, with water hazards coming into play on several holes. The greens are moderately sized and contoured to accept well-struck approach shots while presenting challenges for recovery play. Bunkers are positioned to define landing areas and protect green complexes without creating excessive difficulty for recreational players. As a municipal facility, Stewart Meadows serves the Medford community and visiting golfers exploring the Rogue Valley's collection of courses. The property includes practice facilities and a clubhouse that provides standard amenities. The course benefits from the region's favorable growing conditions, which support healthy turf and allow for extended playing seasons compared to many Pacific Northwest locations. Stewart Meadows represents the type of accessible, well-maintained public golf that serves as the backbone of the game in smaller American cities.
