Tetherow Is A Premier Luxury Golf Resort Community In Bend The developer for Tetherow broke ground on the destination golf resort prior to the housing crisis of 2008. Initial lot sales were brisk, but once the great recession hit, sales dried up. The development sat with little activity until 2012 when lot sales, at a reduced price, started happening again. Over the past 11 years Tetherow has grown and become the destination resort initially envisioned with an active golf and social club, high end luxury homes and townhomes, a hotel, overnight rentals, three restaurants, and much more all adjacent to Bend's city limits on the road to Mt. Bachelor ski resort. It is truly one of Bend's success stories. Market Trends For Tetherow Homes Tetherow home prices have been among Bend's highest o...

  Not Your Daddy’s Golf Club   Blitz 2 The Barrel   Only in Bend Oregon would you have an event like the “Blitz 2 The Barrel”–a ball-busting mountain bike downhill featuring 35 professional riders (by invitation only), racing from Mt. Bachelor to the 10 Barrel Brewing Co. in downtown Bend, with $20,000 in prize money at stake.     The course began at Wanoga Sno-park (near Mt. Bachelor), headed down the Funner and COD trails, before crossing Skyline Ranch Road, and entering Tetherow.     Only at Tetherow   While proclaimed “the best course you can play” (Golfweek, 2009-2012), and “#3 of America’s Best New Courses ” (Golf Digest), Tetherow is not your daddy’s golf club! On the evening of the race, as the shadows lengthened and the vibrant colors began to soften, the two-tiered driving ran...

Elk in Bend Oregon by Mackie Elk in Bend I’ve been working pretty hard, patiently  trying to train my master. You know, the general obedience stuff . . . walking on a leash, staying, not rushing through doors, not acting too aggressively. We’ve attended group sessions together and opted for individual instruction too. He’s coming along well, but still a work in process. He’s pretty set in his ways . . .  what’s that old adage? The Daily Walk We suited up, I wagged my tail perfunctorily, and we headed out for our daily stroll.  I thought briefly of my departed older sibling, Rocco; like him before me, I’ve become a bit of an expert on golf communities in Bend. . . . out through the trees alongside the 7th. hole at Broken Top. I sniffed some rocks, peed on a bush, and sort of lackadaisic...

Tetherow . . . A Dream Comes True The following is an excerpt from the Bend Bulletin; it was written by Carrie Ramoz. Tetherow . . . A Dream Comes True 2017 seemed like the distant future to Bend’s Tim Williams and his family. When they planned out their future, it looked like 2017 was the year they could fulfill their desire of living in Tetherow, a growing community on Bend’s Westside. Patiently waiting, they spent three seasons as guests of the Tetherow Golf Club, enjoying the Scottish links style golf, outstanding dining and a variety of social and family events. As the young family grew, so did their eagerness to live in such a convenient, growing area. In 2011, the Williams family learned about Tetherow’s Jr. Executive Membership, which is available to those under 46 and includes...

  Tetherow . . . Green on the Greens by John and Sandy Kohlmoos Tetherow’s Commitment Building on a commitment to ensure environmentally sound philosophies and practices, Tetherow is not only one of the area’s only environmentally friendly golf courses, but it has extended that “green” mentality to the new custom homes under construction.  “Our vision from the onset was to create a world class golf experience that was in harmony with nature,” stated Tetherow managing partner, Chris van der Velde.  Tetherow is the only Audubon Signature Sanctuary Certified golf course in Oregon, and was also recently recognized for environmental stewardship by the Golf Course Superintendent’s Association of America (GCSAA). “The homes we are building at Tetherow mirror that vision,” said van der Velde.
