Golf at The Retreat at Silvies Valley Ranch

Experience world-class golf, designed and built by celebrated architect Dan Hixson, and providing a unique and sustainable perspective on the ancient game amidst the rugged timeless beauty of the Silvies Valley.

Craddock Course

The Craddock, named for the Craddock family – John “Jake” Craddock and his four sons – who settled and consolidated much of the valley, is a championship 18-hole layout that traverses the ridges that overlook Silvies Valley.

The course direction is reversed each day to create a different layout with a variety of pin placements and tee box options, creating thousands of unique rounds. While the course is free of water hazards, there are over a hundred bunkers incorporated into the course design.

Like designers of old, Dan also led the team that actually built the courses every day and he, himself, made every design decision, no matter how small. The Campbell Family provided the place, the water, the equipment, and the resources.

Hankins Course

Hankins, named for the pioneering Hankins clan who homesteaded much of the ranch, presents an opposite perspective to the natural landscape and elevations that highlight the playing experience. Hankins No. 18 is known as the “Hixson Hole,” as it presents the 12 legal advantages in golf to ensure players will “nail it” off the tee and send the ball on the longest drive of your life. And if you do, the reward awaits in Egan’s Hideout when your round is complete.

Chief Egan Course

The mountain meadow course on the Paiute Creek is a Dan Hixson-designed 9-hole par-3 layout, with water on every hole.

Named for Chief Egan, the last War Chief of the Paiute Tribe who engaged the U.S. Calvary in 1882. This location on Paiute Creek is the closest place to Egan’s last camp during the conflict. Most agree that he and the Calvary would have been better off here, sipping a Silvies Valley Horseshoe Nail and making friends of adversaries, as we invite you to do today.

In alignment with our environmental sustainability ethic, the Chief Egan course is completely off the electrical grid, powered by roof-mounted solar panels; water is gravity-fed from Paiute Spring, about a mile northwest of the course. Please enjoy what Chief Egan and the U.S. Calvary were never able to.

McVeigh’s Gauntlet Course

This stunning 7-hole course is meant to be a fun, care-free course to help players settle bets and test their accuracy on a series of undulating par 3’s and par 4’s. Carved into a razor back and challenging in design, golfers will marvel at the views while exploring the course and its Western appeal.

McVeigh’s Gauntlet is named for Myles McVeigh, an early pioneer who homesteaded in the Silvies Valley. A drinking buddy of the Craddock brothers and the Hankins boys, he settled on Paiute Creek and upper Camp Creek.

Claire’s Courses

Claire’s Courses is the first 18-hole reversible putting course in the world! As if that wan’t exciting enough, this course is also free for all guests at Silvies Valley Ranch! Circling the lower half of Otter lake, this beautiful course has water hazards on every hole. Named for Claire Owens, legend has it Claire was the first woman to play golf in Silvies Valley (on Myles McVeigh’s course). She was also a member of the Silvies School Board (and coach of the Silvies Golf Team?!).

Real Estate at The Retreat at Silvies Valley Ranch

The golf course and resort were constructed and then opened in 2016. Camp Creek Ranch (the Development) has always been the planned progression of the resort. The project will ultimately consist of 200 completely off grid eco-cabins on 413 acers. the cabin owners will all be members of the rancher’s club (Silvies golf club) and enjoy all the benefits their in. owners will also have the opportunity to rent their cabins through Silvies reservation system, with no set number of minimum or maximum rent or non-rent days, the cabin is yours! so you set when and if you want to rent it!

The entire project is off grid. But what does that mean for a cabin owner? It has not been possible until recently to build a off grid home in the middle of nature without making some substantial adjustments to either build budget or your way of living. The cabins are built with the most sustainable and ecofriendly conventional building practices. That means you get an off-grid cabin with all the modern conveniences while being ecologically friendly and affordable.

When it comes to the lay of the land, Camp Creek Ranch Development sets the bar even higher by strategically positioning every cabin site. These locations not only blend seamlessly with the forest but also facilitate greywater runoff for irrigating the communal spaces that constitute 88% of the development site. These irrigated areas foster the growth of healthier plants, attract wildlife, and ultimately create new lush areas that residents can utilize for hiking, biking, and potential future neighborhood parks.

After you purchase a lot, you can use Camp Creek Ranch as your builder if you so choose, we have several floorplans all with highly customizable options and finishes. As well as countless upgrades to make your cabin truly custom. if camp creek ranch builds your cabin, we, do it at cost, with a small mount added for overhead and material storage (we understand building out here is a challenge, so that’s why we offer this service).

• If you have a connection in the construction world or would like to figure it out on your own, we are happy to supply you with one of our preapproved plans and you can go ahead and start your build.
• Or as a third option you can design a cabin from the ground up using our off-grid design guild lines and submitting it to the design counsel for approval.

Welcome to Camp Creek Ranch Development, where you can embrace nature’s beauty and indulge in modern comforts, all in one extraordinary destination!
