Every year, golfers from around the world hit the links across Central Oregon, and it’s easy to see why. On any given round, golfers might gawk at the region’s sweeping high desert and sun-kissed Cascade peaks, play through lava rock formations and fun water features, and relax amid forests of juniper and ponderosa pine.
Given the rising popularity of golf in Central Oregon, several resorts have crafted stay-and-play packages that encourage players of all skill levels to extend their trip through access to on-site, award-winning courses; lodging discounts; and other fun perks.

Tetherow Golf Package Specials
Just south of downtown Bend, Tetherow Resort is home to an 18-hole, par-72 course designed by legendary architect David McLay-Kidd. The championship course is notable for numerous reasons—not the least of which is how it incorporates nature into its inventive design. Cascade peak views abound from nearly every hole, native plants can be found along the many fairways, and the sand in each bunker was shipped in from the Oregon Coast.
If you’re staying the weekend to soak it all in, the resort offers one of the most popular Bend golf packages. Tetherow golf specials cover a wide range of fun on the links—including the chance to learn from (and play with) a golf pro, custom club fittings, and a stay-and-practice package that includes unlimited use of the resort’s practice facilities.

Brasada Canyons Golf Special
The 18-hole Brasada Canyons golf course at Brasada Ranch sits in the midst of the Central Oregon high desert and is among the region’s most acclaimed courses; Golfweek magazine, after all, named it one of the state’s top 15 golf courses in 2022. Evidence of the high desert can be found along the course in sagebrush and juniper trees, and no two holes run alongside each other—creating a more solitary experience that helps golfers feel the expanse of their surroundings.
Brasada Ranch itself is no less glamorous, offering ranch-to-table dining experiences, wide-open views of the Cascade Range to the west, and a variety of Brasada Canyons Golf Specials. Seasonal specials may include a stay-and-play package that covers unlimited rounds on the course and access to the resort’s many practice facilities. Other golf packages include the chance to play nine holes with a PGA professional, a 90-minute analysis that looks at your swing and equipment, and private lessons.
Sunriver Resort Stay and Play
The hardest part about golfing at Sunriver Resort is figuring out how to fit it all in. The resort, just 20 minutes south of Bend, hosts 63 scenic holes across four award-winning courses—complete with Cascade peak views, numerous water features, and the occasional lava rock outcrop. Overnight options include Pacific Northwest-inspired lodge rooms, vacation homes, and comfortable studio rentals.
With so much golf to play, it’s no wonder Sunriver Resort Stay and Play Golf Packages are so popular. Choose between the Resort Golf Package (which includes unlimited play on two courses and a lodging discount of up to 30%) and the Unlimited Golf Stay & Play Package (offering access to all four courses). Both packages come with unlimited cart use and practice balls, advance tee times, and complimentary use of the cart’s GPS system.
Juniper Preserve Golf Packages
Two 18-hole courses await golfers at Juniper Preserve, a beloved golf destination that sits between Bend and Redmond, and each offers scenic views of the Central Oregon landscape. The par-72 Jack Nicklaus Signature Course, designed by the legendary golfer himself, heads past juniper forests and ridge lines of lava rock—while the Tom Fazio Championship Course, designed by the world-renowned golfer, offers Cascade peak views while heading past water features and rugged rock formations.
Juniper Preserve Golf Offers, available between April and June, give players plenty of time on their course(s) of choice. One package includes two rounds on the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course, while the second package includes one round on each of the resort’s courses—with discounted lodging available.
Eagle Crest Golf Packages
Just west of Redmond, Eagle Crest Resort hosts a putting green and three outstanding courses that offer year-round golfing and take full advantage of the Central Oregon high-desert surroundings—with views of nearby rock formations, wide fairways, lava rock, and (naturally) snow-capped Cascade Range peaks on the horizon.
Eagle Crest Golf Packages include some of the region’s best stay-and-play golf packages—featuring unlimited golf on all three courses (including the day you arrive and the day you depart), a complimentary golf cart, use of the practice facility, and overnight stays in the resort’s renovated rooms.
Black Butte Ranch Stay and Play Golf Packages
Black Butte Ranch, a 15-minute drive northwest of Sisters, is one of Central Oregon’s longest-running resorts—and its pair of championship golf courses show why it’s more popular than ever today. The Big Meadow Golf Course measures more than 7,000 yards, and its 14th hole offers photo-worthy views of Three Fingered Jack rising above the surrounding forest; the Glaze Meadow Golf Course, meanwhile, offers a modern experience with elevated greens, five sets of tees, and rolling fairways—not to mention sweeping views of several Cascade mountain peaks.
Black Butte Stay and Play Golf Packages are available in spring, summer, and fall—and the golf vacation deals include specials on overnight stays, golf punch cards, discounted same-day replay rates, use of a cart and the resort’s driving range, and other perks for avid golfers.
