Black Butte Ranch

For more than half a century, Black Butte Ranch (BBR) has built lifelong memories.

For many, it’s an annual destination where families can reconnect with the natural beauty found on more than 1,800 acres of some of Oregon’s most spectacular terrain. Others are just discovering this gem that lies just eight miles west of Sisters. They, too, will likely be back.

It’s not just the beauty: BBR offers a wealth of year-round activities— from golf on two 18-hole championship courses with mountain views, to horseback riding, over 23 miles of paved hiking and biking trails, a full-service day spa, indoor and outdoor pool complexes, tennis courts, fitness facilities with cardio and weight equipment, a recreation center with entertainment for the whole family, standup paddleboarding, canoeing, kayaking, and convenient access to some of the finest fishing and whitewater rafting you’ll find anywhere.

The Lakeside area features an expansive outdoor pool, hot tub, fitness facility, sauna, and locker rooms, — but it’s steps away from a game-filled Activity Center and playground.

There are a dozen pickleball courts to meet the demand for one of America’s fastest-growing sports activities; 14 tennis courts, two bocce ball courts, and two horseshoe pits, along with sand volleyball courts and a full-length basketball court. 

There are a variety of dining options, from the Aspen Lounge near the pool, to Robert’s Pub, and The Lodge Restaurant.

BBR proclaims itself to be in the business of creating memories — and they do it in style.
