2021 PNW Region MGS Meet-up

Recommended Posts

Howdy Spies.  We will be meeting in Bend, OR for this years spy round-up. Open to MGS's far and wide.  Throwing in a few images to wet the palate and get the wheels spinning 🙂.

Central Oregon Golf - Most Walkable Courses in the Bend Area

Golf Courses in Bend, Oregon | The Central Oregon Golf Trail

River's Edge Golf Course | Visit Central Oregon

Kenny @Kenny B, Chris @Thin2win and I will be arriving earlier in the week Tues/Wed for some extra rounds.

Here is the preliminary itinerary for play but we're open to suggestions from you locals who have the inside scoop on these courses.  

  • Wednesday 5/19, (early arrivals and possibly a late afternoon round at Old Back 9, Lost Tracks, or Rivers Edge)
  • Thursday 5/20, Quail Run
  • Friday 5/21, Pronghorn
  • Saturday 5/22, Widgi Creek
  • Sunday 5/23, Juniper (early am round so we can hit the road home afterwards)

Other public courses that look good include; Meadows and Woodlands (at Sun River Resort).  Tetherow is another, but we feel either it or Pronghorn are sufficient to satisfy our "high end, high $$, punishing course" jones 😬.  Of course, if we are able to get some skookum deal on them... that might change our thinking 🙂.

Please let us know ASAP whether you (family and/or friends) can make all/part of the dates so we can get final numbers for scheduling tee times.

I might be down for 5/22 or 5/23. Need to chat with my wife if they want to spend a weekend in bend or not. If not I can probably make the 2.5 hr drive just on Saturday if the tee time is right or early even. I am an earlier riser.

I just drove through Bend today a 6pm.  It was absolutely gorgeous!!  If I didn't have to get home tonight, I would have stayed the night and played Juniper then hit the road tomorrow afternoon!!

So I likely have to skip out on this this go around. Not real good way to make it work. If it was 3 weeks later I would be down for sure. I am sure to play some rounds during my month off with @twyatt700, @Kenny B ( when he gets his driver fitting) and maybe @dlow206 ( if I get up to Seattle and bring my clubs) and likely some other pdx area spies. I’ll keep making posts trying to meet up with others.

so i realize i may get to take two comp days from work that week. The first one being the 18th while my MIL moves in. Will see on the other and see if I can make it down. I just don't want to leave my child for the whole day so it would have to be a earlier round (like 9am) which means i would need to leave by 5am to make it there by 8am 😬

Leaving on Saturday May 22 after golf.

Looking forward to the 2021 MGS PNW Meet-Up with the usual suspects and any others who join us.

I plan to call the courses this week and get some intel on how far ahead we can make times.  Anyone else planning on meeting up for one or more of the days?

Hi guys. I’d love to meet up and play that week and I’ll already be in bend that Monday and Tuesday for a 2 day Pro/Am. If I can convince the boss to let me have another day, I’d love to play Quail.

Please send your bosses telephone number to @Kenny B... so he can give to Martha and she can get this all straightened out for you 🙂. Kidding aside, it would be great if you can make it! 👍

OK, I'm trying to figure out if the dates will work for me or not.  We have relatives coming to visit, but I think that's before these dates.  As soon as I can nail down the details, including getting reservations to a nearby RV park , I'll let you know.

Here is our current (revised) itinerary;

  • Wednesday, 5/19, 1400 & 1409 tee times at Widgi Creek  (afternoon round as some are arriving late morning)
  • Thursday, 5/20, 1100 & 11:10 tee times at Pronghorn
  • Friday, 5/21, 0908 & 0916 tee times at Quail Run
  • Saturday, 5/22, Juniper (will call the on 28 day in advance date for tee times, but spoke with them and should be no issue)  
  • Sunday, 5/23, 0848 tee time at Lost Tracks (currently just Chris and I, early time so we can get on the road towards home after round)

I will be arriving Tuesday 5/18 mid late morning and would be interested in playing that afternoon if anyone is up for that?  

I have set-up two tee times for all but Sunday.  We have (4) planned attendees and about 3 maybe.  To help me with adjusting tee times, please let me know ASAP which days you can join us.  Hope to see a few more show up!

I suggest we start a private thread with planned/possible attendees so that we can exchange cell phone numbers privately.  Text messages in Bend will be helpful.  I haven't nailed down my arrival/departure dates, but I'm relatively certain that I will be able to attend this year.  I'll let you know ASAP when I find out about some other issues going on.

Hi Carl.  Check your IM box for the one I started on 3/27.  You and all those who have previously expressed interest were on the addressee list but perhaps you missed it?

Well, as the say, "life happens" and it did. Chris sold and purchased homes and the closing dates fall right on top of our current week.  We've decided to reschedule both date and location of this meet-up. Our apologies to the OR guys but hopefully you or some of the Seattle area spies can make the revised plan 👍.

  • Arrive Tuesday June 8, afternoon round at Hangman Valley
  • Wednesday June 9, Circling Raven Resort
  • Thursday June 10, Chewelah GC (27 holes)
  • Friday June 11, Indian Canyon
  • Saturday June 12, Qualchan Creek
  • Sunday June 13, morning round at MeadowWood or Liberty Lake

Please let me know ASAP if you can make any of these dates.  I'd like to call for tee times later this week.

Well, the 2021 PNW Region MyGolfSpy Meet-Up got underway last Tuesday June 8 in the Spokane WA area.  Although we tried for Bend Oregon, the dates interfered with @Thin2win purchase of a new house in the Spokane WA area, so we had to move the dates and location.  Unfortunately, we couldn't round up more Spys other than the ones we had last year... @Thin2win, @fixyurdivot, and myself with my wife making our 4th player.

On Tuesday afternoon after driving 3 hours, we played MeadowWood GC in Liberty Lake, WA.  My wife and I have never played there, but the other guys did play it last year... a nice course in good condition.  Chris and Bill warming up on the "range".  Something just wrong hitting into water before playing.  😂

IMG_1430.jpeg.b40572db7eb3b1d82949bd23d32cd461.jpeg

One of the holes... sorry can't remember what hole #:

IMG_1431.jpeg.007b0f8894736da70e99800679aef880.jpeg

On Wednesday morning we headed to Circling Raven on the south end of Lake Coeur d'Alene.  We played this course last year and it's a great track; #1 rated course in Idaho.  The ladies on the Symetra Tour will be playing here at the end of August.  The putting green was being enlarged for the event and closed for practice... 😬  Bad for my game!!  Chris driving the par 4 #10 hole into the front bunker; I went to the left of that tree. 

IMG_1432.jpeg.a7e0865c940da828bc9f5f81335203bb.jpeg

Next up was Indian Canyon in Spokane; one of my wife's favorite courses.  She grew up in Spokane and had to lug a leather bag with persimmon woods and blades up and down the hills among the trees.  It where she got her nickname "The Lumberman's Daughter" because her family was in the timber industry and she claims to have hit every tree on the course.  🤣

Looking back up to the clubhouse from the #10 fairway:

I found out how Chris managed to make it around Indian Canyon 😂:

Now it's Friday and we took a road trip an hour north of Spokane on US 395 to Chewela G&CC; not far from the Canadian border.  Chewela has two courses; an 18 hole out-and-back course and a 9 hole course.  We tried to play 27 holes, but when we finished 18, a tournament was starting on the 9 hole course.  None of us have played this course.  It had some interesting holes and some quirky holes that made it interesting if you have never played there before.

IMG_6016.jpeg.ff0469e93292e8ac733bb923707be070.jpeg

Plenty of deer; we got within 6 feet of a doe driving from green to next tee.

IMG_6021.jpeg.0715328bbe40ff8dd1f9a0ec74f90538.jpeg

Saturday was the last day for my wife and I as we had a tee time at home on Sunday morning, but the guys played Liberty Lake GC on Sunday.  It's located literally across the street from MeadowWood which we played on Tuesday.  Saturday, we are back in Spokane at The Creek at Qualchan.  Hole #1:

Dogleg right Hole #10, an ugly hole if you don't get to the dogleg:

IMG_6012.jpeg.8e216206d5d87e1bce79c07013e983d9.jpeg

 

Overall, I didn't play poorly, but I could have played better.  My driver worked well, and I made my share of up and downs.  Unfortunately, everything in-between wasn't so good.  

My Scores:

MeadowWood   84
Circling Raven   87
Indian Canyon   83
Chewela            83
Qualchan           89

If you get a chance to play with @Thin2win and @fixyurdivot, you won't regret it.  These guys put up with my wife and I for 5 days, and they are the best!!  I'm looking forward to next year.  While Spokane has some great courses, I'm hoping we can visit other areas.  Let's make it happen!!!

Great overview Kenny.  It was indeed a really great time and hopefully we can add at least one more foursome to the 2022 PNW Meet-up.  Here's a few more pictures from my collection.

Great pics Bill!  I wanted the shot of all of us at MeadowWood, Thanks!  Loved O'Dohertys!  The O'Doherty's in Spokane Valley is also very good, but lacks the atmosphere of the original downtown.

We don’t stop playing the game because we get old; we get old because we stop playing the game.”
