When Golf Digest released its latest ranking of America’s 100 Greatest Public Courses, one Central Oregon standout made a statement. Tetherow Golf Course in Bend jumped to No. 57 in the nation, a leap that solidifies it as one of the country’s premier places to play.
For golfers, it’s easy to see why. Designed by David McLay Kidd, the architect who put Oregon on the global golf map with Bandon Dunes, Tetherow blends challenge and spectacle in equal measure. The course ripples across Bend’s high desert, with fescue fairways, dramatic bunkers, and green complexes that demand precision. But it’s the views that set Tetherow apart. From tee boxes, the Cascade Range unfurls—Broken Top, South Sister, and Mount Bachelor rising like guardians over every round.
Tetherow is golf that asks for focus, creativity, and nerve. It’s also golf that rewards you with scenery so striking it’s almost a distraction.
A Lifestyle That Matches the Course
The beauty of Tetherow doesn’t have to end when the scorecard is signed. Just off the 13th tee sits a home at 61547 Hosmer Lake Dr. a residence that mirrors the course’s blend of sophistication and ease and has just hit the market.
Built in 2020, the 3,115-square-foot Prairie-style home captures the same light and openness that makes Tetherow famous. South-facing windows frame Mount Bachelor like a perfectly struck shot between two ponderosa pines. Inside, a gourmet kitchen with Sub-Zero and Dacor appliances opens to a great room designed for entertaining. A 600-bottle wine cellar, carved custom trim, and a hot tub on the covered patio add comfort and personality.
Because the home sits beside a tee box rather than a green, the setting offers the best of both worlds—expansive views without the constant flow of golfers or maintenance noise. At $2,375,000, it stands as what brokers call the best value in Tetherow.
Representing the property are Sarah Billeter and Jennifer Winans licensed brokers in Oregon with Cascade Hasson Sotheby’s International Realty. Their story is woven into Bend as much as the fairways themselves. Both began their careers as teachers – working collectively for over 26 years in the Bend LaPine School district.
That background shapes how they approach real estate. They listen closely, explain clearly, and think of houses not just as properties, but as places where families grow—just as they once watched students grow in their classrooms.
Giving Back Through Every Closing
It also explains their commitment to the Family Access Network (FAN). As teachers, both Sarah and Jennifer saw how FAN ensured kids had food, clothing, and stability so they could focus on school. Now, with every home they sell, they donate five percent of their commission back to FAN, directly supporting thousands of children and families in Central Oregon each year.
“FAN was the difference between a student being able to learn or being held back by challenges at home,” Jennifer says. “This is how we make sure that support continues.”
More Than a Ranking
Tetherow’s rise to No. 57 is about more than national recognition. It reflects the course’s maturity, its balance of beauty and challenge, and its ability to turn a round of golf into an unforgettable experience. For players, it’s a destination. For homeowners, it’s a lifestyle.
And for Sarah and Jennifer, it’s an opportunity to connect buyers not only to one of America’s top golf communities but also to the greater Bend community they’ve served for decades.
At Tetherow, the fairways may steal the spotlight, but the real story is how the course, the homes, and the people who live here all come together to create something bigger than the game.
