Our Greens Are Always Greener

With more than two dozen courses around Central Oregon, it’s no wonder Bend has been dubbed “the Palm Springs of the North.”

Central Oregon has a golf course to suit every skill-set and budget. Bend’s even home to three courses ranked among Golf Digest magazine’s list of “America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses.”

So what makes golfing so great in the high desert?

The upside of being shielded by the Cascade Mountains is that Bend enjoys a dry climate and plenty of sunshine— perfect for golf!

Beneath blue skies that go on forever, Bend’s golf courses steal your breath away. Enjoy the heart-stopping panorama of the snow-capped Cascades from tees and greens throughout the region.

Craggy lava rock and ancient junipers present challenging obstacles at Pronghorn Resort’s Jack Nicklaus Course. At David McLay Kidd’s Tetherow, enjoy a links-style course amid stunning views of Bend’s icons: Mt Bachelor, Broken Top, and the Three Sisters.

Want to play some of the locals’ favorites? Check out Widgi Creek just off Century Drive and River’s Edge located right in the middle of town.

And even if traditional golf isn’t your scene, you can try a round of disc golf. There’s a popular course right in town at Pine Nursery Park on the east side of Bend. There’s also a course at Mt. Bachelor, which stretches from the top of Outback to the West Village base. Bring your endurance, a sense of adventure, and a sharp eye for this Professional Disc Golf Association-listed course!
