Family Golf-Off
The Great Family Golf-Off Travel Guide!
Date: Tuesday, July 15
Tee Time-ish: 8:30 AM (Exact time TBD—this is golf, not rocket science... but still needs planning!)
Location: Somewhere gloriously green in Central Oregon!
MISSION: TEE POSSIBLE
Calling all uncles, aunts, cousins, grandparents, and rogue family members with a mean putt or just a love for good turf and bad jokes—it's time for the Great Family Golf Social! This isn't just about golf—it’s about bonding, banter, and maybe a birdie or two. Or a bogey. Let’s be real.
Before we can lock in our tee-rrific plans, we need your interest level—are you in for swinging clubs and making memories?
Once we know who’s interested, we’ll send a follow-up email with:
-
The chosen course (based on popularity, beauty, and snack availability)
-
The official tee time
-
A reminder that you’ll book your own tee time (because we believe in independence AND hydration)
THE CONTENDERS
We’ve scouted out three top-notch contenders for your golfing pleasure:
1. Lost Tracks Golf Club (Bend)
losttracks.com
This course is known for its lush fairways, forested scenery, and mysterious train car on an island (yes, really). If you like surprises with your sand traps, this one’s for you.
2. Widgi Creek Golf Club (Bend)
widgi.com
Tucked near the Deschutes River and brimming with pine trees, Widgi Creek brings the charm. Great for serious players and those who mostly want to drive the cart.
3. Sunriver Resort Courses (Sunriver)
sunriverresort.com/play/golf
A variety of courses to match your style: scenic, challenging, or “just here for the vibe.” Bonus: Sunriver is practically a family reunion playground already!
WHAT TO BRING
-
Clubs (or rent 'em on-site)
-
Sunscreen (no one wants a golf tan)
-
Hat or visor (for the dramatic reveal after a good shot)
-
Water bottle (hydrate or you’ll hallucinate that squirrels are judging your swing)
-
Competitive spirit and your worst golf puns
FUN FACT
Golf balls have between 300–500 dimples.
