Oroville Golf Club – Scenic 9-Hole Golf on the Similkameen

Just five minutes west of downtown Oroville, Oroville Golf Club sits on a bluff above the Similkameen River, pairing big-sky views with the warm hospitality of a small-town course. Opened in the early 1960s, this public, member-supported layout packs plenty of strategy into its 9 holes, then doubles the fun by offering a second set of tees for a full 18-hole experience. Fresh air, fast greens, and a price tag that still feels friendly—this is classic North-Central Washington golf.

Oroville Golf Club Course Personality

Oroville’s routing rolls across gently undulating terrain framed by ponderosa pines and river-valley vistas. Each hole has twin tee boxes, so the second loop changes angles and yardages just enough to keep veteran players sharpening their yardage book. Greens run true, fairways stay healthy thanks to a community-funded irrigation rebuild, and the wind off the Similkameen can turn a routine wedge into a thinking-man’s shot.

Hole-by-Hole Breakdown

#	Par	Men’s Yds	Women’s Yds	Personality
1 / 10	5	465 / 483	465 / 483	Gentle dogleg opener, tree-lined, sets the tempo.
2 / 11	3	130	119-130	Short but well-bunkered—precision over power.
3 / 12	4	335	306	Subtle ridge in the fairway; green tilts left.
4 / 13	4	351	321-351	Slight uphill; club up on the approach.
5 / 14	4	388	355-388	Signature hole: elevated green, panoramic river view.
6 / 15	5	495	453-495	Longest test; lay-up angles matter more than length.
7 / 16	3	119	109-119	River-side serenity—watch the swirling breeze.
8 / 17	4	309	283-309	Straightaway, but miss left and you’re scrambling.
9 / 18	4	334	305-334	Closing dogleg; sloped green can wreck a good card.

Play it once for nine or loop the alternate tees for a complete 18-hole round.

Amenities & Atmosphere

Practice Green – Large enough for both putting drills and short-chip work.

Clubhouse & Deck – Small pro-shop, snack bar, and a covered patio that overlooks the first tee—ideal for post-round stories.

PGA Instruction – Local pro Bruce Perisho offers private lessons and group clinics.

Community Spirit – Volunteers restored irrigation after wildfire damage, proving locals guard this course like family.

Playing Tips

Respect the Wind – Afternoon breezes funnel up the valley; club selection can swing two clubs on holes 2 and 7.

Stay Below the Hole – Most greens tilt back-to-front; downhill putts are deceptively quick.

Use the Slopes – Subtle contours feed shots toward center greens—especially on holes 3 and 9.

Second Loop Strategy – Alternate tees create fresh angles; note pin locations on the first lap to attack on the back nine.
