Bend's newest golf club, Tetherow, opened with all the pomp and circumstance you'd expect.  Roughly a week after opening The Castle Course at St. Andrews, David McLay Kidd brought the kilts and bagpipes for a proper opening.

With Tetherow, Kidd has given Bend it's most unique golf course.  It's a break from the typical Northwest layouts that most of the resorts offer in the Central Oregon area.  It's a true links course with mounds, undulating greens, ragged bunkers and more. 

It's almost like a coastal links course was scooped up and moved to the desert.

The first time around, Tetherow isn't easy.  The many blind tee shots and difficult green complexes make it hard to decide which club to hit and where to hit it.  It's a great challenge, though, and one that people will remember and want to play it again.

Re: Tetherow lives up to the hype

Make sure you bring a lot of balls! The course is absolutely fantastic, but it is very challenging and you can just barely miss a shot and your ball will be gone forever. There is trouble everywhere from the fairway to the sage and everywhere in between.

Re: Tetherow lives up to the hype

I got a chance to play Tetherow on the Monday after it's opening weekend. I really enjoyed playing it since it is so different from every other type of central Oregon course. Definitely several blind tee shots that having the caddie will help with. The greens were very slow on opening weekend which I wasn't expecting but maybe that is typical with fescue grass. Several opportunities to lose balls in the desert and I was fortunate to only lose one through my round but my playing partner probably went through two sleeves in the round.
