OB SPORTS GOLF & LEISURE x SUMMER 2015 x obsports.com l DESTINATIONS SANDPINES GOLF LINKS Sandpines Golf Links in Florence was awarded the "Best New Public Course in America" by Golf Course Magazine when it opened in 1993, and it's been exceeding expectations ever since. Designed by Rees Jones, the course naturally integrates the crystal clear lakes and expansive pine forests of the area. The 7,190-yard links-style course is home to year-round playing con- ditions and plenty of wildlife, from deer and blue herons to bald eagles and even black bears. Holes 16-18 is Sandpines' signa- ture loop, wrapping around a giant lake for a picturesque finish. QUAIL POINT GOLF COURSE Quail Point Golf Course in Med- ford boasts 75 acres of beautifully manicured greens. A nine-hole track, Quail Point is the ideal desti- nation if you're looking for a shorter course with a lot of character. The first hole begins the round with the course's only blind tee shot with an approach that plays over a creek. But once you've made it past the risky opener, it's eight more soothing holes ideal for those sim- ply looking for an enjoyable round. And don't forget to take a swing through the property's unique 18- hole putting course – it's an ideal way to cap off your golf adventure. Sandpines Golf Links
