Included as one of the top eighteen “Best For Resort Lifestyle” Premier Properties
BEND, OREGON – Tetherow in Bend, Oregon was recognized by Links Magazine as one of top “Premier Properties” in their annual ranking of the country’s prestigious golf courses and communities. Links Magazine cites their annual Premier Properties issue as “the most trusted, most comprehensive, most authoritative guide to the best golf communities in the United States”.
This year’s 2008-2009 Premier Properties guide categorized the nation’s top communities according to various amenities and Tetherow was one of 18 Premier Properties recognized as “Best For Resort Lifestyle.” Other properties recognized in this category included Kapalua on the island of Maui, Hawaii; Sea Pines in Hilton Head, South Carolina; Bay Harbor in Bay Harbor Michigan; and Kingsmill in Williamsburg, Virginia to name a few.
The centerpiece to the Tetherow community is the visually striking, par 72 layout that was designed by the world renowned golf course architect David McLay Kidd. Kidd, (whose recent designs include Bandon Dunes and the Castle Course, the seventh course at St. Andrews, Scotland) incorporated many of his signature design traits. Traits that include elements of links-style play such as playing the game along the ground as well as the air, in addition to wispy grasses, ragged bunkers, and gnarly knobs and knolls. The routing takes full advantage of the stunning panoramic views of the Cascade peaks including Three Sisters and Broken Top as well as the rugged high desert terrain.
“The recognition Links Magazine has bestowed upon Tetherow is very exciting in that Tetherow was just unveiled to the golfing world earlier this summer,” stated Orrin Vincent C.E.O and founder of OB Sports (the management company overseeing operations at Tetherow Golf Club).
In describing Tetherow Links Magazine was quoted as saying “David McLay Kidd has opened two highly anticipated courses in his native Scotland this year. But Tetherow, his adopted Oregon hometown, just may be his best.”
