Perhaps no other facility has had a greater impact on the Central Oregon golf community over the past decade than the Pronghorn Club at Juniper Preserve. Opened in 2004, Juniper Preserve has received recognition as a premier resort community in the West and was the first to offer a Jack Nicklaus Signature Course and Tom Fazio Championship Course side-by-side. The high desert backdrop appeals to both the links lover and the outdoor enthusiast, as skiing, biking, and fishing can all be found nearby. Both the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course and the Tom Fazio Championship Course at Juniper Preserve in Bend have earned multiple accolades, including several from Golf Digest. The Nicklaus Signature Course opened first in 2004, with the Tom Fazio Championship Course following in 2006. Voted #6 in Golf Digest’s “The Best Golf Courses in Oregon” for 2018, the Nicklaus Signature Course is available for play to the public, and resort guests. The more challenging of the two tracks, the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course has been selected more than once by the USGA to host US Open qualifying events, most recently in 2022. The Fazio Championship Course is available for play as a guest of a member, or on limited reciprocal request. Immaculate maintenance, and a minimalist approach to the design gives the golfer a sense that the natural surroundings and landscaping remain largely untouched. Though the Fazio Championship Course is a bit more player friendly, with both courses, immaculate conditioning, and an unwavering attention to detail are a hallmark of the Pronghorn Club experience. Club membership and real estate opportunities within the Juniper Preserve community are available.
