Meadows
Meadows is acclaimed architect John Fought’s latest creation. The course features tremendous variety within its 18 holes, seven of which border the meandering Sunriver. Fought’s design pays tribute to the great American golf courses from the 1920’s and 30’s with its aesthetic grace, while its dramatic use of directional and fore-bunkers serve up ample challenges for golfers of all skill levels.
The Woodlands

Riverhouse Rendezvous Deschutes River Slalom Kayak Race
2019-03-30 - 2019-03-31 | Riverhouse on the Deschutes, 3075 N. Business 97, Bend, 97703
Spring is upon us and Bend Oregon’s Annual Riverhouse Rendezvous Deschutes River Whitewater Slalom Kayak Race returns, March 30th & 31st.
Originally a slalom race in the 70’s, the Rendezvous was resuscitated nine years ago by Geoff Frank (Tumalo Creek Kayak & Canoe founding partner and owner) and Bert Hinkley (Pacific Northwest representative for the National Whitewater Slalom Committee).
Whitewater slalom kayaking has been a sport since the 1940s, when Swiss alpine skiers embraced the runoff from the mountains to race the rivers in their off-season. Today, this sport is known world-wide to test not only the physical skill of paddlers, but their knowledge of the river and their ability to use currents and river features to their advantage.
The course is run on a popular section of the Deschutes River behind the Riverhouse Hotel, at 3065 N Hwy 97, Bend, OR 97701. As the season’s opener for the Northwest Cup Slalom Paddle Series and a Junior Olympic qualifier, the Rendezvous is also an opportunity for local whitewater enthusiasts to celebrate navigable flow levels before canal diversions are made in April.
Registration day of. See Tumalocreek.com for details.

April Show at Tumalo Art Co. features David Kinker Grand Canyon Series
2019-04-05 16:00 - 20:00 UTC | OR
Seeking inspiration during a gray, landlocked winter, David Kinker revisited his collection of Grand Canyon plein air paintings and his own photographic explorations, and discovered some gems yet to be fully explored. His April show, “Painting Paradise”, opening April 5, from 4-8pm during the First Friday Gallery Walk, is a pictorial, mark-making, colorful expression of a place where the scale and vistas, shapes and colors are a holy grail for artists.
“It is one thing to look down upon the canyon and glimpse a bit of the water below,
and quite another as a river runner at river level, to feel the grandeur of this painted paradise”, muses David. This show embodies his perceptions of a month-long journey on the Colorado River that few people have the chance to experience.
Tumalo Art Co. is an artist-run gallery in the heart of the Old Mill District open 7 days a week. www.tumaloartco.com; 541-385-9144.
