No matter your level, hitting the links in Sisters is a double eagle experience. 

A 15-minute drive west from Sisters tees you up at Black Butte Ranch. 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.

Or go 15 minutes east to Eagle Crest. With two championship golf courses, The Ridge Course and The Resort Course, their tough 18-hole, par-63 Challenge Course, and their popular 18-hole putting course, links lovers are never far from their favorite pastime. 

Aspen Lakes Golf Course located less than 10 minutes from Sisters is a public golf destination known for its breathtaking views, distinctive red sand bunkers, and award-winning customer service. Featuring 18 beautifully manicured holes, their course offers a memorable experience for golfers of all skill levels. Whether you are from the local area or visiting Sisters Country, we’re confident you’ll agree that Aspen Lakes is a must-play experience.

Eagle Crest is ranked number one for golf in Central Oregon by Trip Advisor. Aspen Lakes comes in at number three and Black Butte Ranch at six among 37 courses. That’s some serious golf.
