Golf courses in Bend, OR.

Bend, OR

Tetherow in Bend, Oregon, opened in 2008 and was designed by David McLay Kidd. It sits on high desert ground on the west side of town, with the Cascades in view and lava rock at the edges of the property. The course is built on fescue turf and kept firm, so the ball bounces and runs and shots played into slopes are often better than shots flown at flags. Greens are large, tilted and unforgiving, and there is more room off the tee than there appears to be from the tee box. It is semi-private, with public tee times available alongside member play and lodging on site.

Widgi Creek Golf Club sits in southwest Bend, Oregon, along the Deschutes River near the Inn at the Seventh Mountain. Designed by Robert Muir Graves, the course opened in 1991 after passing through earlier names, including Seventh Mountain Golf Village and Pine Meadows, before financial changes led to its current identity. Ponderosa pines line tight fairways across rolling terrain, and holes 11 through 14 run along a ridge above the Deschutes, with greens that break toward the river. The par-72 layout stretches to nearly 6,900 yards and includes the 653-yard third hole, one of the longer par 5s in the country. Practice facilities include two putting greens, a bunker area, and a grass driving range, and the course is open for public play.
