A golf course in Oregon designed and originally owned by Robert Trent Jones, Jr. has been sold to a financial planner from Portland. It’s the first golf acquisition for Bob Hyer, who closed on his purchase of Eagle Point Golf Club outside Medford in late July.
“It’s an all-year-round course, and I’m one of those guys that will play in the rain all day long just to be able to play,” he told the Medford Mail Tribune.
Hyer doesn’t plan to make any significant changes to Eagle Point’s 17-year-old track, which he believes is “really cool the way it is.” Touchstone Golf has been hired to ensure that it remains so.
The seller, PremierWest Bank, took possession of the property in early 2012, when its former owner gave it up in lieu of foreclosure.
