Tetherow Gold Club in Bend Oregon was named in the ”best of new course” award by Golf Digest.  Tetherow placed third on the magazines’ list of “America’s Best New Public Courses of 2009.”  The announcement will be published in the January 2010 issue of the magazine.  Tetherow was also named “Best New Course of 2008″ by Golf Magazine.  The course was finished in July 2008. 

Tetherow hit the Bend Oregon real estate market at a bad time.  There have been no homes sold through the Central Oregon Multiple Listing Service and only two lots in the last year.  It looks like Tetherow is off to a slow start with this economy.  In the long run I think it will be a good investment considering their award winning course.
