TETHEROW RESORT

The high desert terrain of Central Oregon provides a stunning backdrop for this David McLay Kidd design, where massive basalt outcroppings and native bunch grass create a links-style experience at 3,200 feet elevation. The routing maximizes dramatic elevation changes and panoramic Cascade Mountain views, particularly on the spectacular downhill par-3 15th that plays over a natural lava gorge. Wind becomes a constant tactical factor here, demanding creative shot-making and course management that rewards players who embrace the conditions rather than fight them.
