Best High-End Experience: Pronghorn, Bend, 866-372-1003
There’s little that can be said about Pronghorn that wasn’t said already in our April issue, in which 710 ESPN radio host and CG writer Jim Moore detailed his memorable weekend playing the Nicklaus and Fazio courses, rafting down the Deschutes River with his wife and kids, and soaking in the setting sun from the back deck of his private villa.
The fact that Moore was able to find 2,000 words to describe Pronghorn is a feat in and of itself — most visitors simply leave the club speechless.
Pronghorn is the Four Seasons of the Central Oregon vacation scene, with luxurious accommodations, five-star restaurants and — of course — two of the most unforgettable courses you’ll ever play. Best of all, you don’t necessarily have to fork over the three-digit greens fee – though, it’s more than worth it if it’s within your means. Stay-and-play packages through the resort website start as low as $299 in peak season, including a night’s stay in a Pronghorn suite and golf on the Nicklaus — a rate barely higher than the room night alone.
Bring your A-game — and a camera.
