Fore! Sale
River's Edge Golf Course is being sold to develop new housing. What does that tell us about
Bend's land supply?
Golfing is expensive, but not nearly as expensive as a house in Bend. Good news is, there's about to be more of them. Wayne Purcell, whose family has been instrumental in the economic development of Bend as a tourist destination for decades, announced his intention to retire and sell River's Edge Golf Course in the process. Rather than selling to another golf course operator, Purcell opted to sell to Pahlisch Homes, whom he's partnered with to build many of the houses sprinkled around the course now.
