Links Golf in the Prairies? That’s what they’re trying to do at the Wildhorse Resort and Casino, just east of Pendleton in Eastern Oregon – with apparent success. Wildhorse has most of the signatures of a links course — rolling terrain, tall grass, infuriating rough and lots of unimpeded bump-and-run approaches. The only thing missing is the ocean breeze — some things you just can’t simulate. Best of all, with 18-hole rates cheaper than the cost of the gas to get you there, you can put off that long drive home off for another day — the golf course is just one small part of the Wildhorse complex, which includes a luxury hotel, swimming pool, restaurants, shopping, museum and children’s game center and arcade. And, of course, the tribal casino, where you can win back whatever you lost on the course. For more information, call 1-800-654-WILD, or visit www.wildhorseresort.com.
