    So much work has been put into this charming course!! The greens are in GREAT CONDITION & the course is just FUN!!

    Fun course. As the name implies, it's a nine hole circuit. Mostly flat, so it's easy to walk. - not real difficult but there are plenty of places you can get into trouble, including water. - well maintained fairways and greens. - very reasonable rates.

    Waterfall and the number 1 green as well as some deer

    It's a very nice, inexpensive 9 holes. The holes are all legit and some are quite tricky. Good value.

    Great food. Better service!!! Beautiful facility!!…read more Definitely worth the fee of a membership!

    Restaurant review:…read more About as old-school as they get in these parts, the Bend Golf Club restaurant/lounge is open to the public. No membership required. Ambiance is true to the genre: open area with numerous cloth-covered four tops as well as a few larger tables. Naugahyde (I think) lounge chair seating. Golf playing on the several TVs scattered about. No loud music. It's definitely casual. There's a small bar seating maybe six. About those chairs - they're horrible. If you have even a slightly cranky back, you'll hate them. I certainly do. - Service is good, efficient. Not top tier but certainly nothing to grumble about. Your order is taken quickly, drinks arrive soon and the food not too much later. We've had to wait for our our server to notice we needed drink refills a couple of times. - I mentioned the bar, which despite my being a dedicated bar-rat I don't think I'd want to sit at. They have only several beers on draft, well below Bend standards. If you're looking for booze or wine, they have it. - The menu is old school American with a few outliers. Salmon fish & chips, for example, are pretty good (they also have the more standard cod F&C). Several salads - I tried the SW steak salad, which despite having a nice cut of beef was not remarkable. Ribs, burgers, wings, pasta, shrimp, pork chops, etc, are all available. They do have the Impossible Burger, if you're into that. - And they have specials. That SW steak salad was one, but there's also prime rib night (Saturday, I believe) and a four-course dinner on Thursday for $25. - Prices for the food are maybe a tad high but not outrageous by any means. Before you tip, check for added gratuity on your bill. Drink prices are in line with what you expect in Bend. Hours change with the season, I'm told (by a member). During winter, it's open Thursday - Sunday. Otherwise (i.e., when the golf course is operating) it's open every day except Monday. The website doesn't reflect that. Bottom line? It's OK and if you're a member, it's certainly a good option for you. As a destination? Not so much. Unless you like to watch golf while you drink & dine.

    I went to PAR Golf end of December, 2025 with my husband, to have clubs fitted for our 10 year old…read moregrandson. S*** helped us, and allowed our grandson to use the simulator to evaluate his swing. We were unaware that there was a charge to use the simulator, but we were looking to purchase over $400 worth of clubs, so, no charge. S*** checked, and said the clubs would be arrive in about a week. Since we would be in NZ at that time, we told S*** our daughter-in-law would pick up the clubs with our grandson. S*** had our contact information as well as hers. A month goes by, with no contact. Come to find out, the clubs arrived quickly, and had been sitting there since end of December! Neither we, nor my daughter-in-law received a call. Today my son (not a golfer, at all!) goes with my grandson to pick up the clubs. We told him to ask to use the simulator, to ensure the clubs were a proper fit. He was told that he had to pay for our grandson to use the simulator!! We called and spoke to K****, who was brusque, to say the least! He said people have to pay to use the simulator. We mentioned that the clubs are for a 10 year old, and he should be evaluated, especially considering the (over) $400 cost! He then said the simulator was busy. We understand that. He said, "Ma'am, what would you like me to do"? I mentioned that I would like him to be able to schedule the simulator for our grandson, so he could get any advice needed, as he is a 10 year old, and our accompanying son is NOT a golfer!! Kevin said he mentioned places near Bend where our grandson can practice using his clubs. NOT ACCEPTABLE!!! K**** was rude and dismissive. PAR Golf was very helpful and solicitous when we were purchasing a large ticket item, then washed their hands of us, even when they had all our contact information! Honestly, I don't think our son will return with our grandson. K**** put him in a very uncomfortable situation which should never have occurred.

    This place nails service, ambience, and food. Honestly, this place is just an incredible enjoyable…read moreexperience. I went here with three people and enjoyed a wonderful dinner. I started with a clam chowder, that had just the right consistency with beautiful chunks of perfectly cooked potato and clam. There is absolutely no grit or sand in my clams which was wonderful. I ordered the sirloin cooked medium which came with a baked potato and sautéed vegetables. Everything was cooked perfectly. The potato had a nice crispy exterior and soft pillowy inside and the vegetables were not overcooked. I do wish that they would've given a large portion for the vegetables, but I can understand them trying to keep the plates looking clean and nice. I'd say if there's one thing that was not good at this restaurant it was the complementary bread. The bread that came out had clearly been smashed down. I'm not sure if the bread came that way, or if maybe someone doesn't know how to cut bread in the kitchen. On top of that, the bread was very plain. For a fancy restaurant like this I expected something a little nicer, maybe even a sourdough. Just go ahead and skip the bread, it's not worth eating when you have so many better things to eat. All in all, I would totally return to this restaurant.

    Walked out of my car, horribly bumpy road to get into and extremely curvy roads. The cart kid asked…read moreme if I knew where I was going...instead of how my day was or anything..,then told me I need to walk around a construction zone to get a cart. Meanwhile he sat in a golf cart and watched me walk all the way around the entire clubhouse back to the range with my clubs. Course is amazing, service was less than stellar. Also ran out of all food at turn service besides hot dogs...thought this was a fancy resort....in prime time June....guess not. The golf course GPS screens were also set to the incorrect pin locations and made me miss club a few times...pretty much needs new management beautiful courses and properties. I'd rather play at Brasada or Crosswater for the amount of money this place charges for the lack of service and experience. The worst part is I truly felt I don't belong, was not wanted there by the staff, from inside the pro shop to outside staff...also $14 for a Gatorade, chips, and M&Ms. Are we in Israel?

    Played the Nicklaus course for the first time on a sunny, fairly warm Saturday. One of two courses…read moreon the property - the Fazio being the other - Pronghorn Nicklaus gets rave reviews from Central Oregon golfers. COVID protocols: Only fair. They have the usual mask requirements in the pro shop but don't even attempt to enforce them on customers. Staff wear masks but the snack bar folks aren't so good on wearing them properly. The most egregious failure in this regard was the starter's insistence that golfers riding single in carts pair up because they didn't have enough carts. I was OK because my group was a threesome and I got the second cart. Other area courses seem to have enough carts on hand. Pronghorn is a high end operation - during these times of a pandemic they need to respect social distancing practices and provide more carts. - Richly designed course but with awkward yardages off the tee for short hitters, even from the gold tees, and a lot of hazards. Course plays harder than the rating, I think. This is not a track where high handicappers - particularly short hitters - can hope to score well. - Greens are in good form and roll fast and mostly true. Not as super smooth as I expected but it's early in the season. Some holes cut such that being above the hole meant little chance of stopping it close. - Fairways decent with few bad spots. I thought the grass was cut too short, though. Most of my fairway shots were from a tight lie. - Being in the middle of high desert sagebrush country, that's what you'll find if you stray off the fairway: sagebrush interspersed with lava outcrops. Best to stay out of that. - Quite a few water hazards, including a hole where the stream to the right is hidden from view of the tee box. One par 4 has a huge piece of water between the tee box and the green, tempting long hitters to drive the green. Mere mortals must hit to the fairway on the left, carving out however many yards they think they can carry. - So many bunkers. Way too many bunkers in fact. I think the course is protected well enough from the layout, water and sagebrush rough to not need that many bunkers. Many are quite punitive with high lips. Sand was average for a public course. You won't be able to hit PGA-quality sand shots out of most of them but you can generally get out. - Carts are very nice, electric, onboard GPS (which occasionally erroneously declared I was at the wrong hole), and super comfortable seats. No complimentary tees in the cart - you need to grab them from the starter's box. No complimentary white towels. - Cart path layout is good. Although the course twists around on itself a bit, there are directions signs aplenty. - Beverage cart showed up quite often and it wasn't even that hot of a day. - Complimentary range balls but the range itself is a bit small for a two-course operation, at least as defined by where the range balls were laid out. They could have opened it up more. Same with the practice green and practice bunker. All were a bit crowded. - Slow round - about five hours. I saw not a single marshal on the course during the round. I think the slow pace was due to course difficulty, not slow players. Still, I expect to see a marshal patrolling the course. - Snack bar closed at 3 pm, which is ridiculous, especially on a good weather Saturday. Why only three stars? Price, and unreasonable difficulty. I frankly don't think the golfing experience is any better than at Widgi Creek or Juniper or even Crooked River Ranch. Yet Pronghorn charges way more. The course is also too difficult for me. Golf is one challenge after another, of course, but my round was punctuated by quite a few well-struck shots that still found trouble because of extremely narrow target areas. On several tee boxes, I was faced with no good shot. At one par 5, I had to hit a hybrid off the tee because my driver couldn't carry the sagebrush feature plopped in the middle of the fairway. I can't not hit a driver on a par 5 and hope to avoid a double. That's not a rewarding challenge. 180 yard par 3's from the gold tees are also not welcome. As another reviewer mentioned, Jack Nicklaus prides himself on making golf accessible to the average golfer. He fell short of his goal at Pronghorn Nicklaus.
