Tetherow Resort

Game On

GOLF IS JUST THE BEGINNING AT TETHEROW RESORT

Each year, Tetherow racks up a few more accolades, with publications across the country recognizing the resort as a top golfing and vacation destination right here in Bend. Only 7 minutes from Bend’s bustling downtown area and 20 minutes from the Mt. Bachelor ski resort, think of Tetherow as a home base for all things Central Oregon.

Tetherow is a resort and a community that offers vacation lodging as well as permanent housing. Each of the vacation rentals come with up to five bedrooms, fire pits, hot tubs and private patios. Another option available to guests is the 50-room boutique hotel at the resort, offering modern amenities, including coffee from Nespresso, in every room.

Hit the course

The crown jewel of Tetherow is their award-winning 18-hole golf course, designed by acclaimed architect David McLay Kidd—also the designer of Bandon Dunes on the Oregon coast and Castle Course in Scotland. The use of the naturally rolling terrain makes Tetherow a genuine Scottish links-style course, which is relatively uncommon in the United States. Every detail has been accounted for, down to the decision to use a fescue grass mixture that promotes fast and firm playing styles, as opposed to Bentgrass or Kentucky Bluegrass, which both work better with non links-style play.

After a day on the green, most people have two things on their mind: good food, and a drink to go with it. Luckily, Tetherow boasts three different restaurants for any and all occasions, as well as a snack cart between holes nine and ten, for any golfer looking for a quick bite. Solomon’s is Tetherow’s fine dining experience.

Solomon’s features a rotating menu that highlights vibrant ingredients from the Pacific Northwest. It’s extensive wine collection will perfectly accent any meal. Reservations are encouraged as tables can fill up quickly. The Row is great for more casual, pub-style fare with flat screen TVs, delicious food and a vast tap list. This is a popular stop after any game of golf to grab a beer and a quick bite. The Café is located in the Tetherow Sport building and offers a fresh and convenient selection of made-to-order and grab-and-go options, available exclusively to hotel guests and Tetherow members only. Enjoy the entire menu poolside, as well.

More to explore

As a home base for all things Central Oregon, a trip to Tetherow wouldn’t be complete without checking out the amazing nearby natural landscape. In the summer, this includes hundreds of miles of world-class hiking and mountain biking trails, just waiting to be explored. An especially fun activity that only becomes available in the summer months is the Mt. Bachelor resort zipline, just up the road from Tetherow. The zipline drops guests a whopping 1,400 vertical feet, making it the Northwest’s highest elevation, steepest and fastest zipline. If the summer sun is a bit hot, consider getting down to Bend to float the Deschutes River or swim in one of the many available areas on the banks.
