Glaze Meadow Course
Black Butte Ranch

About this course
Glaze Meadow is one of two eighteen-hole courses at Black Butte Ranch, a resort and residential community located near Sisters in central Oregon. Designed by Robert Muir Graves and opened in 1979, the course occupies meadowland at the base of the Cascade Range, with views of several prominent peaks including the Three Sisters, Mount Washington, and Black Butte itself. The property sits at approximately 3,200 feet elevation, where the high desert climate meets mountain forest. The routing moves through ponderosa pine stands and open meadows, with Glaze Meadow Creek influencing play on several holes. The course features relatively generous fairways that accommodate the resort's mix of members and guests, though strategic bunkering and water hazards require thoughtful course management. The terrain is generally rolling rather than severe, characteristic of the volcanic landscape of central Oregon. Conditioning benefits from the region's dry summers and the resort's irrigation infrastructure. Black Butte Ranch operates as a private club with resort access, serving both property owners and guests staying at the ranch. The facility includes a second course, Big Meadow, designed by Gene "Bunny" Mason and opened in 1971. Together, the courses provide thirty-six holes in a mountain resort setting that emphasizes outdoor recreation beyond golf, including hiking, cycling, and access to nearby wilderness areas. The ranch maintains a casual, family-oriented atmosphere typical of Pacific Northwest mountain resorts.
