Pronghorn Golf Club (Nicklaus course)

5-star: Fabulous – courses don’t get much better than this.

Est. 2004

Pronghorn Golf Club (Nicklaus course) at Juniper Preserve: a 20-minute drive from Bend in Oregon, and quietly tucked away in an expansive area of high desert, the Pronghorn Club plays host to two fabulous championship golf courses. The publicly accessible Nicklaus course, and the private Fazio course are both among the top-rated and finest championship layouts in Oregon.

Pronghorn's Nicklaus layout is an excellent desert-style course that contains a wealth of wonderfully crafted, memorable and challenging holes. Ancient lava rock ridges and outcroppings intertwine with natural high desert landscaping. The Cascade Mountains provide a wonderful backdrop to several holes. Definitely a course that will challenge your all-round game, and well worth going out of your way to play.

Stay&Play at Juniper Preserve: luxury onsite rental residences available, see Where2Stay section below.

Pronghorns have a pair of distinctive, flat bladed horns, depicted in the logo of the Pronghorn Golf Club.

Tournaments

Sony Open in Hawaii: played at Waialae Country Club near Honolulu, the Sony Open takes over the spotlight from The Sentry as the PGA Tour’s calendar-year opening event (Jan 15-18). The Sentry (not being played in 2026) was formerly known as the Tournament of Champions, with a field typically restricted to golfers who won a PGA Tour event in the previous calendar year.

Dubai Desert Classic: the DP World Tour’s first Rolex Series event of 2026, is contested for the 37th time (Jan 22-25). First won by Englishman Mark James in 1989, it now boasts a four-time winner, Rory McIlroy. Played on the Emirates Golf Club’s Majlis course, this once desert-surrounded course is the long-time flagship for Golf in Dubai.

Recently visited

Our visit last month included two rounds at Golf de Chantilly, one of France’s most prestigious clubs.
It offers two superb layouts: Le Vineuil, a five-star championship course with a rich history, and Longères, an excellent four-star course that provides a strong and enjoyable test.

The wider Paris region offers plenty more. Courses such as Fontainebleau, Golf de Saint-Germain, and several other top-rated layouts make this area one of Europe’s most rewarding golf destinations, offering a mix of woodland, heathland, and parkland designs.
