ACentral Oregon N
estled between the eastern flanks of the Cascade Mountain range and Oregon’s high desert is a place where a distinc- tive golf experience combines with some of the country’s best outdoor attractions. Here, locals and visitors brag about a special kind of multisport enthusiast—one who skis the slopes of Mt. Bachelor in the morning, plays 18 championship holes in the afternoon, then casts a fly rod into the waters of the Deschutes River as the sun descends over the mountains. And all this can take place without ever having to drive
more than 30 minutes. Welcome to Central Oregon, where an abundance of sunshine and a diverse but conveniently compact region await visiting golfers. Within this region, golfers will find the challenge of the
Central Oregon Legends Collection—an unrivaled group of five resorts and eight golf courses that are as unique as the world-class designers who created them. Comprised of Black Butte Ranch, Brasada Ranch, Prong- horn Club, Sunriver Resort and Tetherow Golf Club, each
Advertorial Distinctive Experience
resort in the Legends Collection offers a premier golf experience that together create a truly unique destination. Located in and around the towns of Bend and Sunriver, the Legends Collection courses were designed by the likes of Jack Nicklaus, David McLay Kidd and Tom Fazio. Tree of the Legends Collection courses rank on Golf
Digest’s list of “America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses,” which no doubt is part of the reason why Golf Digest has recognized Central Oregon as one of the country’s top 25 golf destinations. But what makes a visit to Central Oregon so memorable is not just the variety and quality of the golf. It’s also the activities and attractions that await golfers when the clubs are put away. Te region is known as an outdoor-lovers paradise—with
hundreds of miles of hiking and biking trails, trophy fly-fishing, inviting mountain lakes and rivers and a microbrewery scene that is second to none.
After a day in the sun, visitors can also enjoy a big-named
concert under the stars at the Les Schwab Amphitheater or sample small-batch beer from one of Central Oregon’s numer- ous renowned craft breweries. “With more than 30 courses in the region designed by some of the biggest names in course architecture, Central Oregon holds its own against any destination from a pure golf perspective,” said Alana Hughson, president and CEO of the Central Oregon Visitors Association. “But when you factor in the sunshine and favorable climate, abundant recreation, and of course the beer, you’d be hard pressed to find a more complete destination for avid golfers.” Central Oregon is conveniently accessed via the Bend/
Redmond airport (RDM), which operates 15 flights daily from most major Western markets, including daily flight service from San Francisco. Each resort in the Legends Collection offers a premium golf experience and bundled stay-and-play package featuring significant savings. Four night pack-
