Silvies Valley Ranch – Hankins, located at 10000 Rendezvous Ln, Seneca, Oregon, is a public 18-hole course designed by Dan Hixson. This 7,100-yard, par-72 course, with a rating of 72.5 and slope of 135, is part of America’s first reversible golf courses, sharing land with the Craddock course. Opened in 2017, it offers ranch amenities like horseback riding, a spa, and dining. Its remote setting and sustainable design, inspired by St. Andrews, earned Golfweek’s 2025 Best Resort Courses recognition.
The Hankins course plays with a reversible layout, offering varied challenges daily, with wide fairways and natural hazards like sagebrush demanding adaptability. X users note its “unique, rugged charm,” with holes like the par-5 3rd requiring strategic navigation of elevation changes. Its playability suits all levels, but the reversible design and remote conditions challenge course management, blending traditional links elements with a modern, eco-friendly approach.
