An on-course home fronts a fairway, a tee, or a green directly, so play passes the property line. A golf-view home looks toward the course from across a road or a buffer and is usually priced below comparable frontage. Ask which one a listing is before you tour, because the listing photos can read the same from the deck.
Usually not. At most Central Oregon golf communities the HOA dues cover common-area upkeep, and golf is a separate club membership you join and pay for on its own. Broken Top, for one, does not require homeownership to join the golf club, and owning a home there does not include golf. Confirm what the dues cover and what the club costs before you write an offer.
Public-access destination courses include Tetherow, the Pronghorn Nicklaus course, Widgi Creek, and the resort courses at Sunriver, Eagle Crest, Black Butte Ranch, and Brasada. Broken Top, Awbrey Glen, and the Pronghorn Fazio course are private. Crosswater is reserved for Sunriver Resort guests and Crosswater Club members. You can live on a private course without playing it, and play a public one without living there.
Late March to early November for most public and resort courses, with frost delays at both ends. Eagle Crest Ridge and a few year-round courses stay open in winter when conditions allow, on a midday-only basis. A home here is a three-season golf address for most owners, and the off months are the value months.
Golf-course inventory moves fast in Central Oregon. We know these communities and their courses well.
It depends on the community. Resort areas such as Sunriver and Eagle Crest have an established nightly-rental market, while some HOAs cap or prohibit short stays. Short-term-rental rules change, and Deschutes County and the city can have their own permits. Verify the current HOA covenant and the local permit rules for the exact address before you count on rental income.
Yes, in some communities. Eagle Crest in Redmond has condos that start well below a million, and cabin-sized inventory near the Sunriver resort courses can fit under that mark. The mainline destination communities such as Tetherow, Pronghorn, and Brasada Ranch generally start above a million for a finished home.
The destination courses sit between 3,500 and 3,800 feet, so the ball carries close to 8 percent further than at sea level. Plan a club less than your sea-level yardage, and expect colder morning rounds to play longer. It is a small thing that changes how a course feels on the first visit.
