Volcanic red sand bunkers

At the base of the Three Sisters, Central Oregon’s volcanic peaks, Aspen Lakes Golf Course is a perennial favorite among visitors and locals alike. Located in Sisters Oregon, Aspen Lakes Golf Course is a 7,300-yard W.L. Overdorf design known for being a great test of golf in one of the region’s most breathtaking settings. But be careful in becoming too distracted by the beauty, lakes and ponds come into play on more than half the holes. The perfect bent grass fairways and greens and unique bunkers made of crushed red volcanic rock contrast with the snow-capped peaks that seem to hover right over the course.

Aspen Lakes Golf Course is a privately owned, public golf course in Sisters, Central Oregon.  With the most scenic views, unique red sand bunkers and world-class staff and customer service, whether you are a local or when you visit Central Oregon, we think you’ll agree Aspen Lakes is a don’t miss venue!

The concept for Aspen Lakes Golf Course in Sisters Oregon, began in 1988 when the Cyrus Family acquired a 1,084 acre parcel adjacent to their family farm.  The first nine Aspen Lake golf holes were constructed in 1996 under the watchful eye of World Class golf course architect William Overdorf.  He worked with the existing site to sculpt this incredible mountain view golf course into the existing Central Oregon landscape.  As important natural features were identified during construction, the plans were modified to incorporate them into the golf course rather than destroy the feature.

The second nine Aspen Lakes golf holes were opened in 1999.The signature red sand for the bunkers originated on the Cyrus property.  When it came time to install the bunkers, it was discovered that the “normal” sand that the other central Oregon golf courses use is hauled in from other states.  In looking at alternatives, it was decided that it would be more environmentally friendly to use local materials already in Central Oregon.  Red cinders that occur naturally on the Cyrus property were crushed down to make sand.  The deep red sand creates a visual delight as it contrast with the green grass, blue skies and white, snow covered, mountains that are the Aspen Lakes Golf Course signature.

A Soundtrack To Your Outdoor Experience

IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild is an outdoor concert series in stunning landscapes that showcase Oregon industry, history and culture. We bring a 9-foot Steinway grand piano to the middle of forests, fields, calderas and historical sites for classical music concerts.  To meet the acoustical challenges of performing in the wild, music is transmitted via wireless headphones. No longer confined to seats, you can explore the landscape, wander through secret glens, lie in sunny meadows, and roam old growth forests.  Event Schedule

In the spirit of the Works Progress Administration’s (WPA) Federal Music and Theatre Projects, which presented thousands of free concerts and plays in theaters, public spaces and parks across the country during the Depression, IN A LANDSCAPE events are offered primarily in rural communities for free or on a donation basis.

Classical pianist and native Oregonian Hunter Noack uses literature, visual art, dance, drama, and design to create a more dynamic classical music experience. Winner of the Los Angeles International Liszt Competition, the coLABorate Award in London, Moritzburg Audience Prize in Germany, and director of numerous cross-arts collaborations in the U.S and Europe, NY’s Rising Star Piano Series calls Hunter “a true artist in a renaissance sense of the word.” Raised in Sunriver, Oregon and is now based in Portland, Oregon, Hunter most recently created “In a Landscape: Classical Music in the Wild” with government support from the Regional Arts & Culture Council, just as millions of Americans from 1935-1943 were hired by the U.S. Work Projects Administration (WPA). Timberline Lodge, one of the series’ seven venues, was built during this program. The WPA also employed over 40,000 musicians, artists, writers, actors and directors to complete individual cultural projects as part of the WPA’s Federal Project Number One. Seventy-some years later, “In a Landscape” is Hunter’s testimony to the possibilities for public benefit when society supports the visions and productions of individual artists.

Managed by Bend Metro Park and Recreation District which maintains and operates more than 2,000 acres of developed and undeveloped parkland. That includes 74 parks/open spaces and 56 miles of trail.

Additionally, BMPRD produces the July 4th Festival & Pet Parade and the Original Central Oregon Pumpkin Festival.

Ponderosa Pine forest, camping, recreation year-round

Home to Oregon’s largest Ponderosa Pine (191-foot Big Tree), La Pine State Park is a beautiful overnight and day-use park.  There is a log cabin meeting hall, Fall River Falls, 12 miles of hiking trails and cross-country skiing plus the Big Deschutes River for kayaking, swimming, fishing and canoeing.

The interpretive hub for the Newberry National Volcanic Monument located at the base of Lava Butte. The visitor center includes a bookstore, educational films, a 3D map of the area and rangers on hand ready and willing to talk to about the geological wonders of Lava Lands and the expansive monument.

Right outside the visitor center, enjoy a self-guided tour of the 7,000 year old lava flow formed by Lava Butte’s eruption. There’s informational plaques throughout, including one that highlights a unique piece of American history: Astronauts trained there in 1966 to prepare for the upcoming moon landings.

You can hike up to the top of the butte for some amazing views of the surrounding area, but be careful because there’s  no trail. You have to walk up the road, which, at times, can be congested.

Take a self-guided, mile-long discovery tour of Oregon’s longest intact lava tube. Central Oregon’s unique geological landscape offers ample opportunity to step back into time, but the Lava River Cave gives visitors the chance to step down into time. Down 150 stairs to be exact. That’s how far below ground this 5,211 foot lava tube snakes through the Earth, giving you a chance to see (with the help of a lantern) a truly remarkable natural phenomenon.

Bring a coat! Even in the summer, the cave stays at roughly 42 degrees, which can be a bit chilly if you’re wearing shorts and a tank top.

Oregon's largest outdoor concert venue

Oregon’s largest outdoor concert venue shines along the Deschutes

Built in 2001 and named in honor of one of Central Oregon’s most successful entrepreneurs – you might have bought tires from one of his stores – the Les Schwab Amphitheater has quickly become one of the premiere venues in the Pacific Northwest to see live music.

Located in Bend’s historic Old Mill District, the LSA boasts an all-grass infield and scenic views of the Cascade Range along the Deschutes River. The largest outdoor concert venue in the state, the Amphitheater can hold approximately 8,000 concertgoers. The LSA has drawn living legends such as Ringo Starr, Bob Dylan, Paul Simon and Willie Nelson as well as artists who are shaping the sounds of their own generation like Jack Johnson, the Avett Brothers, The Roots and Brandi Carlile.

Nestled right in the heart of Bend, the Amphitheater also plays host to numerous community events. The Bend Brewfest is held every year at the Amphitheater during the third weekend of August and the classic Pole Pedal Paddle race – individuals and teams ski, bike, paddle and run their way from the Mt. Bachelor Ski Area into Bend – finishes in its infield. And in partnership with the North Pole, the Les Schwab Amphitheater welcomes Santa the day after Thanksgiving, providing landing ground for his helicopter before he is whisked away to SantaLand in the Old Mill District.

Here’s the Les Schwab Amphitheater’s 2019 summer concert lineup:

• Sunday, June 7: Jason Isbell + Father John Misty

The challenging and enjoyable layout, designed by Bill Robinson, keeps the golfers coming back.
