Enjoy Pickleball and Disc Golf

Pickleball is the fastest-growing sport in America. There’s a very simple reason for that: It’s a LOT of fun.

Access to pickleball is one of the most frequently-asked questions among visitors to Sisters. Visitors who are staying at Black Butte Ranch or in a vacation rental at Tollgate can avail themselves of the courts reserved for residents and guests. Public courts are not available right now in Sisters, but Sisters Park & Recreation District (SPRD) has pickleball in its plans.

Eight pickleball courts will be part of a new SPRD community park in September. 

Lake Creek Lodge in Camp Sherman has pickleball courts available for guests.

Players can head to Redmond’s Sam Johnson Park where there are several courts, or check out the courts at the Pine Nursery Park Pickleball Complex in Bend. For more information on Sisters Pickleball Club, visit sisterspickleballclub.com.

Disc golfers can throw at Hyzer Pines just a few minutes from downtown Sisters off Highway 242 next to Sisters High School. It’s a challenging course that is heavily treed with small gaps for distance throws, to work around using backhand and forehand throws. 

Another popular course in the Central Oregon area is Pine Nursery, featuring unique high desert terrain.

There is also a course in Redmond near Dry Canyon offering a different type of terrain and views.
