Tetherow Golf Club

Tetherow Golf Club is a golf course and residential community located on the outskirts of Bend, a mid-sized city in central Oregon. Pioneers originally called the area "Farewell Bend." This designation was used by early settlers because its location along the Deschutes River was one of the few points fordable along the river. Residents today now just call their town Bend because they are probably hesitant to say goodbye to this lovely locale. Bend is located on the eastern edge of the Cascade Mountains along the Deschutes River, where pine forests give way to the high desert. It serves as a convenient gateway to an inviting world of outdoor activities.

Tetherow Golf Club in Bend is cited as one of Oregon’s best golfing experiences. Purchases of golf course real estate usually come with a full membership to the club, as well. You’ll also get access to Bend’s finest fitness facility, the Athletic Club of Bend, which is just a few minutes away from the golf community at Tetherow. Tetherow Golf Club is an 18-hole championship semi-private course that boasts a distinctive layout by David McLay Kidd, who also designed the new Castle Course at St. Andrews, Scotland. In its first full year of operation in 2008, the Tetherow course was named “Best New Course You Can Play” by Golf Magazine, and it has been acclaimed by numerous regional publications. That’s because Tetherow Golf Club creates a traditional links course experience in the visually stunning environment of Oregon’s high desert. The course utilizes the unique features of the landscape (including its rich contrasts between grass, sand, and brush), with the Central Cascades always in the background.

Tetherow Golf Club also offers a state-of-the-art golf training facility complete with two hitting bays that allow for indoor and outdoor practice to facilitate training year-round. The club has clinics and lessons throughout the year for residents of golf course real estate to attend, and video-assisted swing assessment and diagnostics really help resident golfers improve their game. The clubhouse at the Tetherow Golf Club offers a fine dining experience at The Grill, which is open to the public for lunch and dinner and boasts views of the golf course and the mountains.
