Course Overview
Claire's Courses is the first 18-hole reversible putting course in the world! As if that wan't exciting enough, this course is also free for all guests at Silvies Valley Ranch! Circling the lower half of Otter lake, this beautiful course has water hazards on every hole. Named for Claire Owens, legend has it Claire was the first woman to play golf in Silvies Valley (on Myles McVeigh's course). She was also a member of the Silvies School Board (and coach of the Silvies Golf Team?!).
Birds-eye view
Since this course is reversible, we refer to the course going west as Claire's Course (orange) and going east as Charlie's Course (black). Claire and Charlie Owens' homestead is located about a mile south of here - their cabin remains.
Would you like to become one of Claire's Champions? Anyone can become one by playing the whole course - all 36 holes - in one session. If you succeed, you'll be rewarded with a Claire's ball marker and signing the Book of Champions with your score. Looking for a bigger challenge? You could be one of Claire's Grand Champions by playing both courses on par (72) in one session. Pulling off this feat will reward you with a hat, Claire's ball marker, a Horseshoe Nail (or Crabapple Fizz Sharpshooter), and the right to sign the Book of Champions.
