This highly rated and very difficult course is also designated as a certified Audubon Sanctuary, so whether those birds look like peacocks or pigeons may depend on the status of your round. The course is crazy-long at 7,683 yards, and has two rivers crossing the line of play on seven holes. Golf Magazine ranked it 47th among the "Top 100 Courses you can play in the U.S. for 2002."

Honored by Golf Digest as one of "America's 100 Greatest Courses," 1999-2000, Crosswater was designed by award-winning architect Bob Cupp. Situated on 600 magnificently scenic acres of woodlands and carefully preserved wetlands, Crosswater is threaded by the gently flowing Deschutes and Little Deschutes Rivers. In fact, depending on tee selection the rivers can come into play as often as seven times in a round. The design is traditional hearthland style, and the golf course features five tee placements for each hole as well as bent grass fairways and greens. In 1999, Crosswater was designated as a certified Audubon Sanctuary through the Audubon Society of New York State, one of only 150 golf courses in the U.S. to be so named.
