Silvies Valley Ranch (Craddock/Hankins)

Golfers won’t trek all the way to eastern Oregon for just any old course, which is why Silvies Valley Ranch ownership agreed to architect Dan Hixson’s novel idea for a reversible layout. One day, it’s the Craddock course, the next day it’s the Hankins. Here’s the math: 36 holes, 27 greens and 16 spacious fairways. Serious elevation changes will have you frequently reaching for your rangefinder; you’ll also need to allow for the altitude: the high desert landscape is almost 5,000 feet above sea level. The 18th on the Hankins drops 100 feet from tee to fairway, with mounding that helps provide a bit more roll. Max fee: $160 (Photo: Brian Oar)
