Par Excellence

Golfing in Sisters Country is an exceptional experience. Highly rated courses set in some of the most beautiful scenery in the Northwest will delight your senses. Will it improve your swing? Who knows? But it will for sure improve your mood.


Where to play:

Aspen Lakes, a 10-minute drive from Sisters. Immaculately maintained bent grass fairways and multiple tees combined with red sand bunkers create a playing experience unique to Aspen Lakes.


Black Butte Ranch, 15 minutes west. With two award-winning golf courses, a driving range, and a new putting course situated at the foot of the Cascades, Black Butte Ranch is a golfer’s paradise. Sculpted, emerald fairways, stunning mountain views, and 300 days of sunshine per year make every day a great day to tee off.


Eagle Crest Resort, 20 minutes east, features two championship golf courses, The Ridge Course and The Resort Course. Its tough 18-hole, par-63 Challenge Course, and popular 18-hole Putting Course, means links lovers are never far from their favorite pastime. Thanks to their lower elevation, Eagle Crest Resort boasts the longest season in all of Central Oregon.


Insiders say:

Aspen Lakes: “GPS carts make maneuvering the course an informed pleasure. Several gentle elevation changes exist throughout the layout which offers variety and intrigue within the course design.”


Glaze Meadow: “The front nine is the signature nine with attractive water features coming into the play, none more impressively than on the 3rd and 4th holes where your camera will get a workout.”


Big Meadow: “The most impressive view happens at the signature 14th hole where the elevated tee offers an exciting downhill tee shot with Three Fingered Jack towering in the background.”


Eagle Crest – Ridge: “The Ridge Course is Eagle Crest’s premier layout and best challenge with several elevation changes, demanding approach shots.”


Eagle Crest – Resort. “The 2nd hole certainly deserves recognition as one of the Beaver State’s finest.”
