Black Butte Ranch

Black Butte Ranch

Black Butte Ranch, Oregon This 1,840-acre ranch in the Oregon Cascades encompasses meadows, ponds, and forests, and a variety of accommodations, from lodge rooms to large private homes. With 19 hard courts scattered across five locations, guests are never very far from courts. The recreation center maintains a list of players looking for games but the better bets are the weekly men's, ladies', and mixed doubles round robins scheduled throughout the summer. Neither are they far from fishing, bike trails, tow 18-hole golf courses, or any of four swimming pools.

A variety of guest lodging options are available through the BBR Rental Program at the main Lodge. Accommodations vary from hotel-type bedrooms to one, two, and three-bedroom condominium suites and premier vacation homes. We even have luxury signature homes for that extra special experience.Each home or condo is a privately owned vacation home rental, and is individually furnished with the owner's personalized decor.

Features offered at some locations on the Ranch include:


Complete kitchens

Washers and dryers

Hot tubs

Master bath spas

Cascade views

Fairway and Lake Frontage.

The BBR Tennis Program offers weekend workshops, group and private lessons from June 18 - September 5, 2005. Call 595-1285 for reservations and information. Tennis rackets may be rented from both Sports Shops for $2.00/hour or $6.00/day. Tennis rackets are due back the following day at noon. An hourly fee is charged for late returns–the daily rate is a “shop day,” not 24 hours. Tennis balls are sold separately at both the Glaze Meadow and Lodge Sports Shops.
