Black Butte Ranch
Off the beaten path, but near so much, Black Butte Ranch has been a place for families, friends, and more to gather for more than a half-century. Not one to rest on its laurels, though, Black Butte Ranch has made more than $35 million in capital improvements over the last decade, including a new $20 million Lodge that opened in 2023 as the new focal point of the 1,800-acre resort.
Set on the eastern foothills of the spectacular Cascade Range, at the gateway of Central Oregon, Black Butte Ranch is home to 36 holes of championship golf, a family-friendly putting course, tennis and pickleball courts, five swimming pools, horseback riding, hiking and biking trails, and fly-fishing on the nearby Metolius River lodging options. The range of accommodations, from lodge rooms to vacation homes, provides options for families, couples, or a group of friends.
