Witch Hollow at Pumpkin Ridge Golf Club

Witch Hollow at Pumpkin Ridge isn’t just a golf course; it's a Pacific Northwest testament to championship aspirations. Carved into the rolling farmland outside of North Plains, Oregon, the course bears the hallmarks of late 20th-century design: generous fairways that belie the strategic demands placed on approach shots. This is a course that tempts boldness from the tee, but rewards calculated risk in the face of demanding greens.

Designed by Bob Cupp, with significant influence from John Fought, Witch Hollow delivers a stern test, despite its seemingly benevolent width. The greens, often firm and undulating, are the course’s primary defense, demanding exacting iron play and a deft touch with the putter. While the course has not hosted a major championship of the scale of its sister course, Ghost Creek, it remains a respected venue for regional and national amateur events.

While not as heralded as some of the nation’s more iconic courses, Witch Hollow stands as a well-regarded public course where everyday golfers can find a great golf experience. After the round, golfers often gather for a post-game bite to eat with a robust BBQ and locally brewed beer, a tradition deeply embedded in the club's ethos.
