Rogue Valley, Oregon (#15958)
No where is better for enjoying the natural beauty of the golf course than Oregon, a truly 'green' state. Southern Oregon, with its mild four-season climate, is a perfect place for golf in the Fall. Golden oaks grace quiet meadows and scarlet maples trace meandering creeks across the valley; temperate days end with cool nights that hint at seasonal change. Amid this quiet wholesome beauty, work on your game skills and learn about "body friendly golf" -- how to shape your swing in a way that helps both your body and your game! Balance out your week with a performance at the Oregon Shakespeare Festival along with pre- and post-show discussion. Includes three hours of small group instruction followed by play (45 holes of golf) to practice your new skills.
