Black Butte Ranch, a Central Oregon public resort, hosts two of Oregon's outstanding courses. The 18-hole, 6,850-yard, par-72, Big Meadow Course, designed by Robert Muir Graves, opened in 1972. Both courses are outstanding for scenery and golfing enjoyment. They are carved out of pine forest with seven snowcapped mountains towering above.

The Big Meadow Course is relatively easy to walk, although the back nine has more hills than the first. Sixteen holes reach into the forest. Only two holes have boundaries, and only two run parallel. Such features make one aware of the expansiveness of the great outdoors. One of the most memorable holes is #14, a 417-yard par-4. The tee is set 75 feet above the green and offers a magnificent view of Three Fingered Jack.

    For early in the season the course was in very good shape. The staff could not have been more friendly and the scenery was breathtaking. Challenging bunkers make it unforgetable.
