Quail Point Golf Club

General Course Description

Quail Point Golf Club is an attractive 9-hole public course in Medford.  Although a bit short (two shortish par 4s and one par 5), Quail Point Golf Course has enough trees, traps and water to make it interesting and enjoyable. The course is well maintained and the staff accommodating. The course is a little hilly, but walkable.  If you have the time, the putt-putt course is worth a round.

Course History

Built in 1993 and designed by John Fought.

Why It Is There

Built for the benefit of the adjacent retirement community.

I Wish I Would Have Known Before I Played

Hole 1 has a creek about 150 yards in front of the green. The fairway goes sharply downhill about 20 yards before the creek. In addition, Hole 5 has almost a U-turn from the 150 pole to the green. The pole is 150 yards to the green as the crow flies, not following the fairway.

Did You Know

Hole 7 was a 4 par, but so many balls were being hooked onto I-5 that the owners shortened it to a 3 par, and made the tee shot go away from the freeway.

Good For Them

They course has two sets of “family course” tees. The course hosts a summer Junior Golf Camp and a low-cost junior development card.

Why Play This Course

Nice add-on to a golf day after playing its sister course, Centennial, or if you are in the area with the family or with a few hours and your clubs in the back of the car. With the “family course” tees, all ages can play. And the putt-putt course may be a “must play” for kids.
