    We had high expectations, however, the experience was far from a fine dining experience that you would expect from the Black Butte Ranch Lodge. First off, most of the meals were fair to OK at best. The duck came out, looking like it was mangled by the backyard dog, our steaks were good, but mine had hard bristle on at least 1/8 of it that I never had a chance to eat... I wonder if that's part of the weight of the portion size that they sell to you? All of us had vegetables (sides) with our meals, and they were all undercooked and small in portion size. It was a a fine-dining atmosphere, but the service wasn't. In fact the service was awkward as it was inexperienced at best, in that our main server was experienced, but the rest of the crew was not. All were very nice, however, lacking in higher service standards!! Our bill was $332 + a mandatory 20% tip ($68) ... we told the on shift management -- not expecting any freebies as we are all affluent -- however, this place was not worth the money paid.

    Came here for a quick bite after a hike and it was great! I got their chicken sandwich and splurged with an apple fritter. The apple fritter was absolutely divine, crispy and fluffy and just the right amount of apples. The chicken sandwich was pretty great as well. Their fries are very crispy. The sandwich could use a bit more chicken, but we're still pretty good! I really enjoyed my meal with the beautiful scenery by sitting outside next to the fire. Got lucky and spotted some otters during our lunch.

    MISSING DOG BLACK BUTE RANCH AREA. Calvin ran out the back of the ranch 05/29/2022 near Trillium and Anapholis into the forest. PLEASE keep an eye out for a brown pitbull with white chest. He is hard of hearing and doesn't see well. We love him dearly and want him home. Any info or possible sightings please call 503-830-0876.

    Dinner at the lodge was a great experience! And for the price, we were amazed at how good the food was. Homemade pappardelle noodles were bomb, and the ribeye was super flavorful. Yummy cocktails, too. Beautiful place! This picture is of our tuna appetizer.

    Fairy tale wedding dreams come true at Black Butte Ranch! My fiancé and I wanted to have our destination wedding ceremony in Oregon after getting engaged there during a business trip. We searched several venues in Central Oregon and Black Butte Ranch was the winner by far. The beauty of the venue is incredible and the price tag was affordable considering the value and benefits of everything included. We were thrilled to learn that the venue came with a "day of coordinator", Alicia. She was incredibly communicative and helpful as we worked to find vendors while being out of state. Alicia is super organized and we were grateful for her knowledge and expertise as we planned our wedding. Alicia never pushed us in any direction, but always gave her honest opinion when asked and supported us in all our goals no matter how crazy they may have seemed. No stone went unturned and Alicia worked her incredible magic to make sure every detail was attended to and everyone had a great time (including us as the bride and groom). We had the pleasure of working with Michelle as well throughout the planning process and although our interaction was limited, her efforts and kindness did not go unnoticed. Both ladies genuinely care and want the best for every bride, groom and wedding. I am in awe of the incredible talent in every aspect of this remote and scenic location at Black Butte Ranch! The food was incredible! My fiancé and I are foodies and having good food at our wedding was super important to us (another reason we chose this venue). Chef & team blew this one out of the water! Everyone RAVED about how great the food was! Several attendees specifically mentioned how much they enjoyed the bartender, Cort, for his kindness and knowledge of the area. All of our ~40 ish attendees had a blast staying on the ranch. We were able to horseback ride, hike, swim and look at the stars over fire pits in the evening. Everyone was able to "choose their own adventure" and do things that appealed to them and their families on and around the ranch. As our wedding date approached, COVID-19 began hitting the US and we had to stop planning everything and prepare for a possibility that we might need to change our wedding date. Alicia was incredible at keeping in touch with changes in Oregon and being flexible with every twist and turn. I have friends who were unable to reach their venues at all during the shutdown, but Alicia returned every email and initiated them (usually followed by a call to answer questions) with every change in the news and restrictions. A week before our wedding restrictions changed again and Alicia was on the ball ready to make adjustments to accommodate our wedding within protocols. We are incredibly lucky and grateful we were able to have our intimate wedding on our planned date. We never planned for COVID prior to our wedding (obviously), but with the outdoor space and vast expanse of the venue, we were still able to have our fairytale wedding (while meeting every social distance/mask/COVID requirement for us, our guests and the venue). Alicia and the venue went to great effort and made several adjustments to make sure their staff and our attendees were safe while still enjoying a beautiful wedding & reception. The day of the wedding Alicia kept us all on track and would silently appear, gently and patiently guiding us to our next timeline activity or even just bringing us food or a water to ensure we weren't starving and dehydrated all day. She was absolutely the fairy godmother of this fairy tale! Being in front of the lake with the mountains and sunshine on our day felt like a Cinderella moment. I kept wanting to pinch myself to make sure it wasn't a dream. One of the groomsmen told us this was the best wedding he had EVER attended. A couple of our attendees said that we helped their families make memories at a place they never would have ventured or chosen, but each couldn't wait to come back. I know the crazy looks we received when we told our invitees that we were venturing out of state to Black Butte Ranch, Oregon for our wedding for no other reason than we wanted to share the magic we found there with those we love. The joyful smiles and looks of awe on the face of our guests were proof enough that they had found the magic for themselves as well. There is a place... I wouldn't change a single thing about our day and I owe it all to Alicia, Michelle, & the team at Black Butte Ranch. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMEND this location for ANY wedding!

    Glaze Meadow golf course is one of two at Black Butte Resort, the other being Big Meadow…read more - superb course layout with some nice views of the nearby volcanoes (but not as many as I'd hoped for - the large trees block many views). This is not a course you're likely to get bored on. - greens are well maintained, roll true and are 'readable'. - fairways in good condition despite the course only having been open for a week following the winter shutdown. - plenty of bunkers but they're not too punitive and the sand is good. - not a lot of water; the trees and bunkers protect the course. - even with a cool day, the beverage cart was in operation and stopped by several times - nice practice facilities including a practice bunker Overall, I very much like Glaze Meadow. It's not too difficult for high handicappers and probably offers a good challenge to scratch golfers (like I'd know). One of the biggest challenges for every visitor is finding your way back to the highway! While they have signs on the way in directing you to the golf course, there are none on the way out and it isn't a straight shot. Good luck!

I started with a clam chowder, that had just the right consistency with beautiful chunks of perfectly cooked potato and clam. There is absolutely no grit or sand in my clams which was wonderful. I ordered the sirloin cooked medium which came with a baked potato and sautéed vegetables. Everything was cooked perfectly. The potato had a nice crispy exterior and soft pillowy inside and the vegetables were not overcooked. I do wish that they would've given a large portion for the vegetables, but I can understand them trying to keep the plates looking clean and nice. I'd say if there's one thing that was not good at this restaurant it was the complementary bread. The bread that came out had clearly been smashed down. I'm not sure if the bread came that way, or if maybe someone doesn't know how to cut bread in the kitchen. On top of that, the bread was very plain. For a fancy restaurant like this I expected something a little nicer, maybe even a sourdough. Just go ahead and skip the bread, it's not worth eating when you have so many better things to eat. All in all, I would totally return to this restaurant.

    Girl golfer here bringing you my review on this gem of a course in central Oregon. Located about 45…read moreminutes northeast of Bend, the hubs and I visited this course on a family vacation. Fun fact--The course is the most ecologically responsible course in Oregon. It was created to utilize waste water. That said--and on a related note-- there are 9 ponds and a river that meanders through the course. Not to mention 62 bunkers. It's studded with weeping willows and other trees, but not a ton of shade and the trees are not your biggest hazard (the water is!). The front 9 made me feel like a good golfer and the back nine (hole 13-watch out!) whipped my fanny. We opted to walk the course as it's fairly flat. It took us 4 hours to play the course at a leisurely pace. The course wasn't busy. The staff was very friendly as were the golfers! Ron's Comfort Cafe is a good place to get a breakfast burrito or a bite before or after hitting the course. The food is about like you'd expect from the name. Good beer selection. Staff is very friendly. I highly recommend a visit to this fun, beautiful, challenging course.

Literally were meeting and having conversations with the groups in front of and behind us as we bunched up waiting to play the next hole. The front nine we saw the Marshall three times and he was trying to move people along. The back nine, he must have just given up because we never saw him again and the play came to a bear stand still. The course is fine and in good shape. Everyone was friendly but they really gotta space people out better. I know it can be a ripple effect but we were with two other groups at the first T . Just ridiculous.
