Awbrey Glen Golf Club

Bend, Oregon

Private Club · 18 Holes · Par 72 · 7,019 yds · Members Only · 4.4

A private club on the west side of Bend, Awbrey Glen winds through ponderosa pine forest with views of the Deschutes River canyon and Cascade peaks. The layout features natural lava rock outcroppings, native vegetation, and a peaceful forested setting that captures the essence of Central Oregon golf.

History & Heritage

Awbrey Glen was established in 1993 on Awbrey Butte in Bend, designed by Gene "Bunny" Mason through ponderosa pine forest and volcanic terrain with views into the Deschutes River canyon. One of Bend\'s premier private clubs with a reputation for excellent conditioning.

Six sets of tees (including junior) make it playable for all levels. A double-ended driving range and five-hole par-3 "Loop" course complement the main 18. The canyon-edge holes where the course reaches the Deschutes River rim combine tight corridors with dramatic vertical exposure.

Signature Holes

Hole 11 Par 4 · 400 yards

One of the canyon-edge holes reaching the Deschutes River rim — sheer drop-off views and elevation-change shots through old-growth ponderosa pines. The dramatic vertical exposure is unforgettable.

What to Expect

Towering ponderosa pines on volcanic soil with generous but tree-framed fairways. Canyon-edge holes along the Deschutes River rim provide the most dramatic moments. 7,029 yards, par 72, slope 135.

Private — access via member invitation or reciprocal programs.

Playing Tips

Course knowledge matters — tree-lined corridors demand good management. Volcanic terrain creates subtle green undulations hard to read without local knowledge.

You\'ll use every club in the bag. Play it smart — the design rewards intelligence.
