Willows Run Golf Club - Coyote Creek Course
Played On 08/15/2015Good Layout but terrible course conditions
I have played at this course since its inception in the 1990's. We have had an incredible stretch of warm weather and dry conditions for the last 4 months. But for the life of me you would think we were in the middle of our rainy season. Greens are soggy and spongy at all times. We play golf in rain for 9 months a year and for whatever reason the staff wants us to play in those conditions year round. The tee boxes may be the worst I have played for the money you pay. The layout of the course is a good challenge and when the greens are allowed to dry out are good to very good. Food is good and service is friendly but once you get on the course bring a towel and divot repair tool as you will the conditions plenty wet....Even in this dry summer.
Glaze Meadow at Black Butte Ranch
Played On 08/01/2015As Good as this course has been.....Ever!
Since the upgrade of Glaze Meadows a couple of years ago this course continues to just get better. Once you get over the beauty of Black Butte you will find that both resort courses offer challenges and enjoyment for all. I have played these courses since 1990 and can honestly say that even with the warm weather this year the course(s) are as good as ever. The greens are absolutely running perfect (11-12) and the fairways are in great shape. Pace of play was somewhat of a disappointment the day we played but is not the norm. It was a little windy and may have been the reason for the slow play (though a little prodding by the Marshall would have helped!). You can easily walk the Big Meadows course but would recommend a cart for Glaze Meadows due to the elevation changes. Bar & scenery for your 19th hole is better spent @ Big Meadows. With that said, my hat's off the staff at Black Butte for keeping the courses in great condition!
Big Meadow at Black Butte Ranch
Played On 07/31/2015Great Resort Course - Beautiful views and conditions
Really enjoy playing this course. Great course conditions every year! Fairways and greens seem to always be in outstanding condition. Course is fairly flat on the front nine but has some elevation changes on the back. Not an overly long course but will provide a challenge for all levels of golfers. Large, grass driving range with very good practice areas. Practice hitting directly at Black Butte Mountain. Views are outstanding. 19th Hole has outdoor sitting area and bar/restaurant. Nice Pro shop and staff is friendly. Enjoy playing this course and the newly redesigned Glaze Meadows! Resort golf does not get better than this in central Oregon!
Juniper Golf Club
Played On 07/30/2015Great Course - Great condition
Every time I go to central Oregon I play this course. Good challenge, pace of play is good, great greens, exceptional fairways and the condition of the course is always outstanding. Some elevation change may make it a challenge for some to walk. My only complaint about this course is their pull carts. They are the from the 1950's! Such a shame for such a nice track. Therefore bring your own pull cart or take a power cart. Driving Range and pro shop are somewhat small. Good 19th hole outdoor seating. Tends to get a little breezy in the afternoon but nothing to be concerned about. Play it once and you'll be back for more!
