Course History:
This is a great place to stop if you will be in the Bend, OR area. We fell in love with this course and can't wait to go back. It is extremely beautiful and we have the time of our life playing the course. It has all the perfect elements that make a golf course great and it is well suited to many different types of players.
Golf Digest has named this among their Best Places to Play year after year, and it is easy to see why this course is so popular.
What You Need to Know:
You can book your tee time by calling the number listed above. This is a very friendly course and you won't have too worry about too many restrictions. The staff are very helpful, the clubhouse is idyllic and the food at the grill was out of this world. There are few courses that can combine all of these vital elements into one great experience, but Widgi Creek manages to do just that and then some.
Playing Hints:
While the course is not terribly difficult, you'll still need to bring your best game with you. Water hazards are plentiful here and the bunkers are positively cavernous. You'll want to do all that you can to avoid both. Accuracy really counts on this course and there is not a lot of room for error.
The sixth hole offers a great challenge. On the surface it looks like an easy par four, but that is anything but true. You'll be really pushing to get par on this hole, thanks to the location of the water hazard and the slope to the fairway. Stay to the right of the fairway to avoid the water and bunkers that are all along the left side of this hole. In addition, the green is raised, so you'll need to have a good chip shot to get anything close to par on this one.

August 26th, 2008 — Bend, Dress code, OR, Robert Muir Graves, golf courses
River's Edge Golf Course is located in: Bend, OR
Phone: 541-389-2828
Website: http://www.riverhouse.com/web/golf/greensfees.htm
Course History:
This is a terrific course located on the Riverhouse Resort that is open to the public and offers some very great rates. It was designed by the famous Robert Muir Graves and offers a championship level of play at executive course rates. It has been named by Golf Digest as one of their best places to play and it is easy to see why.
What You Need to Know:
Since this is a resort course we recommend traditional golf attire. You can register your tee time by calling the number above. During the summer months, the course is quite busy, so it is important to get your slot reserved. The course is open all year round and is a great place for a winter round of golf.
The pro shop is very well stocked and the practice facilities are world class. This is one of our favorite courses in the Bend area, and if you are planning a trip up this way, we highly recommend stopping by for a quick round.
Playing Hints:
Accuracy is key on this course, as it is with an course designed by Graves. The fifth hole is one of the most challenging and you'll need to hit a very long drive to be able to line up your approach to the green, which is hidden behind a very sharp dog leg.
Water hazards make this course all the more interesting and the rough here is definitely rough. You'll really want to work on your long drives as well as improving your short game. This is a course that will require every club in your bag, but you'll have a lot of fun trying to master it.
