Central Oregon is making a name for itself in golf.

The Central Oregon Golf Trail features 30 spectacular courses, all within one hour of Bend/Sunriver, Oregon. Stunning Pacific Northwest scenery with 300 days of annual sunshine and a dry climate make Central Oregon the ideal high-desert setting for world-class golf from spring through late fall.

Central Oregon, ranked 23rd among Golf Digest’s “50 Greatest Golf Destinations”, is where you can play award-winning layouts designed by the finest architects, including Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio, David McLay Kidd, Peter Jacobsen and Tom Doak. Or, if watching the legends play is more to your liking, plan your golf vacation around the JELD-WEN Tradition in August, a Major on the PGA Champions Tour, held at Crosswater Golf Club in Sunriver, the same course where the annual Pacific Amateur Golf Classic Championship Round is held.

The casually sophisticated lifestyle of Central Oregon includes world-class dining, luxurious day spas, an eclectic arts and culture scene, and tax-free shopping in an outdoor recreation paradise offering rafting, fly-fishing, hiking and cycling for all ages. In a setting of majestic snow-capped mountains and crystal-clear blue skies you can experience the Central Oregon Golf Trail.
