Cool site man! I am headed there in about 10 days to play some golf and couldn't be more excited. Crosswater, Tetherow, Pronghorn, and Juniper are on the docket and I will look forward to finding out some more info about what to expect on your site.

 

Great project!

Awesome! Just in time for some good weather hopefully -- we just had the hottest day of the year to date today was nearly 80 degrees mostly sunny and dry with very little wind :) Looks like you've picked some good courses, let me know if you want recommendations beyond those 4

Will do man, hopefully will have time for another round or 2 other than the ones I mentioned.

Nice site! I'm doing research for a Bandon / Bend small group golf trip. We would play four Bandon courses and then drive to Bend and play three in that area.

My initial thinking is to play these three;

Sunriver Crosswater

Tetherow

Pronghorn (probably Fazio since I have played the Nicklaus course)

What do you suggest?

[spud3]

Nice site. I'll offer one suggestion: don't have the weather pop-up on every page load. If I've turned it off, then I don't want to see it again. It's kind of annoying to keep having to close it, given the screen real estate it takes up on a small screen.

 

I love the map feature. Good work!

Thank you! I'm fairly certain the Fazio course is exclusively private and you might not be able to play it -- in which case, check out Brasada >> https://centraloregon.golf/listings/brasada-canyons-golf-course/

You can get on Fazio if you are a member at a club and have the pro call and/or are willing to pay $300. I would recommend Sunrivers Stay and Play, that will get you in Crosswater (technically private unless a resort guest).

Juniper is kind of Pronghorn lite, a fun course but nothing too special as they have let the conditions slip over the years. If you want a cheaper round Quail Run just south of Sunriver can be really fun. Very interesting layout and the new Super is trying really hard.

[haakzilla]

@mallrat great advice! I just moved to the Redmond, OR area last year so I haven't quite played all of the courses (yet) -- which course is in your avatar?

I looked at Sunriver. They have some nice rental houses.

[zzyzxx33]

Nice job on the website. I live on the North end of Bend. We all need to get together and play sometime. Juniper is $20 with cart after 5pm for as many holes as you can get in on weekdays.

Would if I could! One boy has baseball practice! I'll let you know the next time I'm heading out! Most likely Monday or Tuesday.

[zzyzxx33]

Have you heard anything about Kah-Nee-Ta reopening?

...have not heard anything about it, the whole thing is a shame :(

Does the Fazio course offer any play to Pronghorn Resort guests? I noticed when making our tee times for the Nicklaus course that you could search tee times for the Fazio as well, but didn't see any available for any days that I looked...

 

Never heard of Quail Run before but just checked out their website and it looks awesome! Might have to find some time to play it in the afternoon.

Quail Run is a sweet course for sure -- if you do the Stay-n-Play at Sunriver as suggested you guys will be able to play unlimited golf at the other three courses at Sunriver Woodlands, Meadows, and Caldera Springs the new par-3 (assuming all of the courses are open by the time you visit // Woodlands won't be open until May 17th but everything else is open for the season as of today)

[mallrat]

Most resort guests can get on Fazio. Play Nick first and after your round go in and ask about Fazio the next day, there are ALWAYS tee times available. They average about 20-25 rounds per day, that’s not tee times, that is total people on the course per day.

 

Sunriver will be interesting, I believe the May stay and play is $129 which is a great deal. That said I heard today that Woodlands lost over 200 trees and possible up to 80% of their grass due to the winter storms including a couple greens.

[mallrat]

I really enjoy Quail Run. It is nothing fancy and nowhere near perfect but it’s fun. Multiple holes you can hit 2 or 3 different clubs off the tee, greens were in good shape and a very relaxed casual round. It is basically the exact opposite of Pronghorn

...good intel, that would explain why they aren't opening until May 17th at the earliest -- this past winter was pretty extreme!

[Matt J]

Good to know, thanks fellas.

 

Just booked a stay and play last night for the first week of June, planning on booking times tomorrow. Looks like Crosswater, Meadows, and Caldera only...

That's too bad. Woodlands redid their greens three or four years ago. I played there right after they redid them and they were terrific. I still haven't played Crosswater. Gotta get that one check off of my list.

Totally agree about Juniper. I was a member there last year, but went to Eagle Crest for this year, largely due to poor conditions at Juniper. The greens never really got rolling well.

 

I liked Quail Run too! Greens were excellent last time I played there, which was in September.

[mallrat]

Quail hired a new Super at the beginning of last year. He doesn’t have a ton to work with and a small budget but has that course moving in the right direction.

 

I work with Juniper’s Old Super and he left because they refused to put any $ back into the course. He was a really good one too

Bummer about Juniper. I’m guessing that has something to do with the article published in the Bend Bulliten recently, which talked about how much debt the city of Redmond is in from purchasing and building Juniper. Apparently they will not be out of debt until 2023.

 

The course is always PACKED (another reason I didn’t renew membership) so they’re definitely generating revenue. Too bad they don’t put some of that $$ back into the course. They probably would have kept my business if they did.

[spud3]

Sad to hear about Juniper. I haven't played there for a few years, but it was a solid part of our rota when we were doing the Central Oregon annual trip.

[puttnforthe8]

Like the site....Will be there in July and need to decide btw. Widgi or Aspen Lakes for the final course?

[mallrat]

Between Widgi and Aspen is a difficult choice but depends on what you’re looking for. Aspen is a MUCH stiffer test of golf but Widgi is a more relaxed and possibly more fun round of golf. If you are heading back to the valley I would do Aspen. The only downfall to Aspen, IMO, is I play with my old back up wedges because those crushed lava rock sand traps will chew them up.
