Tetherow Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time of year to play Tetherow Golf Club?

We always recommend late spring through early fall for the best conditions at Tetherow. You'll find the high desert weather in Bend is usually sunny and warm, but playing in May, June, or September avoids the peak summer heat and crowds, offering a more serene experience. The course truly shines when it's firm and fast, which these months often provide.

What kind of golf experience can I expect at Tetherow - is it truly links-style?

Absolutely, Tetherow delivers a unique high desert links experience, unlike anything else in Central Oregon. You'll encounter dramatic elevation changes, wide fairways that demand strategic angles, and challenging fescue-lined bunkers that truly test your recovery game. It's a course that rewards thoughtful play and a bit of creativity around the greens.

Is Tetherow a walkable course, or should I plan on taking a cart?

While you *can* walk Tetherow, we strongly recommend taking a cart, especially if you're not accustomed to significant elevation changes. The routing features some substantial climbs and descents between holes, which can be quite tiring and detract from your focus on the golf. Save your energy for the shots, not the uphill treks.

What are the typical green fees at Tetherow, and is it worth the price?

Green fees at Tetherow are on the higher end, typically ranging from $150-$250+ depending on the season and time of day, but we firmly believe it's worth every penny for the unique experience. You're paying for a meticulously maintained course, stunning views, and a truly distinctive links-style challenge that you won't find elsewhere in the region. Consider it an investment in a memorable round.

What's one practical tip for playing Tetherow that most golfers overlook?

Pay close attention to the wind, as it can be a significant factor and often swirls unpredictably through the high desert terrain. We've seen many good rounds go sideways because golfers misjudged the wind's impact on their ball flight, especially on the more exposed holes. Club down more often than you think you need to, and trust your gut.
