Tetherow Golf Club, located at 61240 Skyline Ranch Rd, Bend, Oregon, is a public 18-hole course designed by David McLay Kidd. Opened in 2008, this 7,298-yard, par-72 course has a rating of 72.8 and slope of 138, ranked on Golfweek’s 2025 Best Resort Courses. Set near Deschutes National Forest, it features a 50-room boutique hotel, three restaurants, and a fitness facility. Its rugged, links-inspired design with fescue mounds and high-desert views makes it a bucket-list destination.

Tetherow plays with a links-style feel, where fescue-lined fairways and elevation changes challenge accuracy and creativity. Holes like the par-4 6th, with its elevated tee and bunkered green, demand strategic shot-making, as noted in X posts praising its “wild” aesthetic. The course’s firm conditions and wind exposure test all skill levels, but generous fairways offer playability, rewarding bold drives and precise approaches in a dramatic setting.
