General Info:

Welcome to Rogue Valley Country Club Since Rogue Valley Country Club was founded in the summer of 1911, it has served its members and their guests as the premier, and only, private club in the Rogue Valley allowing them to enjoy a variety of sporting and social activities. The Club offers wonderful experiences in golf, tennis, swimming and dining while also hosting many special occasions and holiday celebrations throughout the year. The full service facility provides family friendly and gracious service in an inviting and relaxing atmosphere. For more information please contact Michelle Johannes, Membership and Marketing Director. The game of golf first arrived in the Rogue Valley in the fall of 1910. It was brought here by a group of wealthy young businessmen who had played the game in the East. The young men, and orchardists from around the Rogue Valley, organized the Medford Golf and Country Club. An elaborate grand opening was scheduled for June 30, 1911, at a property on Hillcrest Road just east of Medford. The country club included tennis courts, a skeet range and nine holes of golf. The clubhouse featured a veranda garden." From these heights, the valley sweeps away," wrote the Mail Tribune newspaper." Dotted with homes, orchards, fields of grain, it is beautiful!" Yet, despite many activities the Medford Golf and Country Club struggled financially and closed a short time later. The country club moved to a smaller site a few miles away in August of 1912.This new property was donated by Conro Fiero, a wealthy apple orchardist, and his wife Grace, a Broadway actress, to be used as a golf course. This new course had nine holes and held many inter-city golf and tennis matches. Once again, the Medford Golf and Country Club had to close its doors due to financial difficulty in 1917. Ainu, the Rogue Valley Golf Association was formed and it bought 70 acres of land where the original Medford Golf and Country Club was located on Hillcrest Road. H. Chandler E
