For many, the end of August means the unofficial end of summer. A time when the days get shorter and the temperatures cool.

But for golfers — especially those who truly love the fairways and greens of Central Oregon — the best part of the golf season is only now beginning. And Black Butte Ranch is making this pinnacle of the golf season even better with its special fall lodging and unlimited golf package for stays through Sept. 30.

For $119 per person, per night, guests will stay in premium accommodations, receive one day of unlimited golf at both Big Meadow and Glaze Meadow for each night stayed, a Black Butte Ranch logo cap, a 20 percent merchandise voucher at the Black Butte Ranch golf shops, and an accommodation microbrew amenity. There may be no better deal in Central Oregon.

Why?

Ask a golfer here in the High Desert, and inevitably he or she will tell you that the fall shoulder season is really the ideal time to enjoy Central Oregon’s golf courses. Things tend to slow down down around here once the kids have gone back to school. The landscape comes alive as the leaves of the aspen trees turn from green to autumn’s yellows and oranges. The sky typically remains bright and cloudless while the air cools just enough to make the days perfectly pleasant.

“I definitely think September is the best time of year,” said Jeff Fought, Black Butte Ranch’s director of golf. “It is so beautiful here, it’s just a bit quieter, and the golf courses at Black Butte Ranch are still in peak shape.”

Of course, September golf is not a secret to everybody. Golf specials and ideal conditions make this time of year among the most appealing times for larger groups. And the days are still long enough that those who take advantage of Black Butte Ranch’s unlimited golf offer will have plenty of time to play 36 holes or more in a single day.

Tom Baker, the longtime head professional at Black Butte Ranch, has noticed for years that the most knowledgeable golfers tend to travel to Central Oregon after Labor Day.

“It is one of our busiest times for group play,” said Tom Baker, head golf professional at Black Butte Ranch. “It makes sense. The weather is great. The kids have gone to school. It is a great time to play Black Butte Ranch.”
