Well groomed fairways bordered by majestic Ponderosas are only a small part of the golfing experience at Bend Golf and Country Club. The oldest private club in Central Oregon, Bend has several advantages that create a classic golf environment. - Walkable traditional layout with reasonable green-to-tee distances - Neatly manicured fairways, approaches and primary rough. - Mature and consistent greens rated among the best in the state. Practice facilities; two chipping/putting greens, driving range, three greenside bunkers, 275-yard practice hole, and a 75-yard "approach" area, all groomed to course standards.

Watch out for # 2, a 567 yard par-5 challenge and the #1 handicap hole on the course. The easiest hole is # 11, a 145 yard par-3.

Hole #3 is the signature hole. It is a beautiful par 3 over water that requires good club selection and distance control because of the three-tiered green. The distance from the tee measures from 100 to 177 yards depending on the tee box. Leave the ball too far above the cup and get ready for a treacherous downhill putt. Making par is more difficult than it might appear.
