Audobon honors Central Oregon's newest

Nov 24

Written by:

Tetherow Golf Club in Bend, Oregon has just garnered another accolade. It's more proof that Central Oregon's newest course will continue to be one of the state's most unique golf properties.

The Audobon Society announced that Tetherow will be designated as a Certified Audobon International Signature Sanctuary, the only golf course with that designation in the state.  In fact, it's one of only 77 such projects in the entire United States.

So what's this designation mean?  It means that David McLay Kidd and the staff at Tetherow took the time to minimize the impact on the habitat when constructing the course and in their daily grooming practices. 

In a state where green is the way to go, I think we should all applaud Kidd's decision to pay such close attention to the environment.  This award, combined with Golf Week's designation of Tetherow as one of the 'Best New Courses in the Country', shows that course designers and managers can build a great course that doesn't destroy the resources surrounding it.

Well done.

Golf Writer

In addition to owning Northwest Golf Adventures, I've been writing golf and travel articles since 2000. My main focus has always been golf in the Pacific Northwest, but I've had stories appear in association magazines across the country, several national publications and on radio and television. I'm always looking for great stories to write about!
