In the town of Union, to the southeast of La Grande, Buffalo Peak Golf Course is an open 18-hole public course built up and around the side of a valley (so there are lots of up or down shots). The front 9 goes on the outside of the layout, and the back 9 goes on the inside. The scenery is attractive and the course is well maintained; areas in front of the greens are generally hard and the greens true. There are many risk-reward holes with carries and angles. Forward tees provide benefit in both shorter distances and better angles. Although there are walking paths, Buffalo Peak Golf Course is hilly and there can be some distance between holes. A cart may be preferred.<\/p>\n
Built in 2000 by the City of Union. Ownership of the course has since been transferred to Union County. The facility was named the Facility of the Year by the OGA in 2021.<\/p>\n
The course was part of a two-tiered project by the City of Union. The City was required to build a waste-water treatment plant. The City voted to build the treatment plant and also voted to build the golf course, which would use the reclaimed water.<\/p>\n
