About Pronghorn Golf Club

Pronghorn Golf Club

This Jack Nicklaus-designed 7,379-yard, par-72, 18-hole course is one of Oregon’s 7 Golf Gems and provides a minimalist experience with an emphasis on the golf game itself — combining strategy with playability, beautiful transitions and true putting surfaces.

Pronghorn unfolds over austere high desert terrain crowded with sage, lava outcroppings and juniper. Though it’s a desert course, it’s much less punitive than most desert layouts, with generous landing areas and accessible paths to the green. Many holes offer postcard views of the snow-capped Cascade Mountains to the west.

While Pronghorn welcomes golfers of all skill levels, the course offers an unsurpassed golf improvement program, the Pronghorn Golf Academy. The program, taught by experienced golf experts, incorporates highly refined, time-honored teaching philosophies that allow golfers to reach their full potential in a fun, relaxed atmosphere.

    Expansive views of surrounding mountains, sweeping vistas and glorious sun sets and moon rises. Lovely rooms, great food

    The hotel is gorgeous! Wild sage lined pathways welcome you along a winding road to an incredibly well appointed hotel. The king- bed Mountain View room was expansive! The bathroom had a lovely shower- lots of hot water! Great comfy bed with incredible views. The hotel’s restaurant, Iris, has lots of gf, v, and df options. The food is delicious, try the gf chicken chili and some of the curated mock tails. The servers were super knowledgeable about food sensitivities and allergens. The resort has rentals for pickleball courts, bikes, and golf. There is a great fitness center with weights, elliptical machines, and Peloton bikes. Take a walk along the perimeter of the preserve and enjoy the beauty of the high desert. Star gazing at night from the heated-extra-large hot tub and salt water pool truly top off the relaxing experience. Take time to sit by one of the numerous fire pits breathing in the fresh air and brilliant colors of the high desert. Enjoy this well designed hotel.

    Nice stay outside Bend

    Very nice and clean resort. It is about a half hour outside Bend, so a bit inconvenient if you’re visiting sites in or near Bend, but definitely a nice get away. We checked in late and their computer was rebooting so we had to wait quite a while to check in. Other than that, staff was friendly, room was clean ankd comfortable, and we really enjoyed our stay.

    Beware you might not get the room you have paid for

    This resort’s web/ booking site is misleading, disingenuous and has false advertising. Specifically, it alleges it has “Mountain View”’rooms available at a premium price. Our Mountain View room #233 was directly behind their large tall pool shed which completely blocked out any “Mountain View.”It is also located behind one of their 4? Story lodging buildings blocking out any views to the right. We thought we had been assigned one of their “standard” rooms and requested a rate adjustment, But No, the manager emphatically stated that room #233 and its adjoining room #227 were as advertised, even though he acknowledged the large pool building was directly blocking their views. So no adjustment for us. Go figure. The manager was blunt, curt and lacked any customer empathy. Sad. So, beware of Juniper Reserve when requesting any specific room. You may not get what you pay for. You have been warned. !

    Best Place to Have a Wedding

    I don’t usually write reviews, but I felt compelled to after our experience this past weekend. We were in town for a wedding, and I have to say — what an absolutely incredible place! The entire staff was welcoming and helpful, making our time in Oregon unforgettable. One team member in particular, Lobarto, truly went above and beyond. His kindness, professionalism, and attention to everyone’s comfort and safety stood out in the best way. He played a big part in making the weekend such a success, and I just want to give him the recognition he deserves. Thank you, Lobarto — you made a great weekend even better! Individuals like yourself make people revisit again and again.

    Not as advertised. Not a high-end resort.

    We booked our reservations six months in advance, only to be notified the week before we were coming that our unit was unavailable due to some booking and maintenance issues and that we were being upgraded to the penthouse suite on the third floor. After going around and around with the contact person, they were able to move us back into a unit like we originally booked. But we had to stay one night in the suite. It is definitely not a penthouse suite and definitely would not have met our needs because we wanted to grill and have a patio that was large enough for our guests. They promised to move our food items for us while we were golfing plus all of our baggage, and they did. After being there two days in what turned out to be a standalone townhome unit that was very old and tired, we discovered the refrigerator was not working well. We had been marinating raw meat so that we could grill. When I notified them, they said yes, they were aware of that and that we should’ve been using the refrigerator in the garage and not that refrigerator. That would’ve been nice to know. And you really should not rent a unit if the refrigerator is not working. I could tell you several more stories of disappointment and poor service, but if you think you are going somewhere that is very high-end, this is not that. Also, it is way out in the wilderness on a long windy road, so it is not easy to escape and go into town and have a decent meal. Buyer beware. Do your research before going.
