Skamania Lodge - The Gorge 9
About
Tucked amidst the waterfalls, peaks, forests and canyons of the Columbia River Gorge lies a rustic mountain resort called Skamania Lodge. The Lodge offers a challenging golf experience you will not soon forget! This 9-hole par three course winds through the forest and around ponds, with peace, quiet and perhaps some curious wildlife many times your only company. The course is designed for walking with a very few carts available for ADA purposes, which must be reserved in advance by calling the Golf Shop. Located about an hour east of Portland, cross the Bridge of the Gods in Cascade Locks and follow the signs.

Unbelievably beautiful Skamania!
Be sure and take a camera. Every hole is unbelievably beautiful with trees and the amazing Columbia Gorge. Hit the ball straight and you will score really well!
Great time if you like a challenge
Conditions were alright, fairways were verrrryyyy firm and greens pretty soft. Make sure you practice long irons cause the fairways and approach shots are tight
Love this course
We love this course. Very beautiful with river views. It is narrow so bring lots of balls.
Golf traveler
I drove out from tri cities Washington to play this course. The staff was very nice and the course was challenging! Well maintained and great views
Perfect day
We had a mid morning tee time and the staff was great, ate breakfast at the grille. Course was in great shape and pace of play was 3.5 hours or less for the round.
Tight but Great
Played Skamania Lodge in Washington today and enjoyed an extremely good round. Lost more balls than usual, but the course is extremely tight and once you are off the first cut, you can kiss the ball goodbye. However, there is plenty of room laterally if you can keep the ball reasonably straight. Will know better next time how to approach several holes.
The staff was great, course was of good value for a guest at the lodge, the scenery was wonderful and the round extremely enjoyable. Can't wait to try it again!
Beautiful experience
Beautiful course with very friendly staff. Played a 3 hour and 15 minute round on a Monday in June (walking solo with twosomes in carts in front of me). This course has a unique layout on each hole and immaculate greens putting a bit fast. The course places a premium on hitting it straight and knowing your distance for the club you're swinging. Only complaint is the grass was rather thin in the fairways and some greenside rough overly intrudes to the point of affecting playability on a few holes.
Narrow Skamania
Great course, very narrow, take extra balls. We have walked it several times with makes it a gorge hike/ round of golf all rolled into one. Well worth the drive.
Always have a great time. All staff is fun, happy and always nice and willingness to help.
Must shoot straight
This is a simply beautiful course layout with gorgeous views of the gorge. And the staff could not be nicer. BUT -- the course is extremely narrow, and the rough is totally unforgiving. If you are go off the fairway, you lose your ball - guaranteed, because there is nothing but tall, tall weeds and blackberry bushes everywhere. We are ok players -- one of us shoots in the high 80's, ow 90's, the other shoots in the low 100's. We lost 16 balls between us -- and we stopped playing on the 16th hole. The course is merciless when it comes to being off the fairway. So -- proceed with caution.
Good course
Bring balls if you can't hit straight, beautiful course nice walk or easy ride. Very friendly staff great course for the money. Will play there often.
Not your typical resort golf course
Gorgeous course in beautiful Pacific Northwest setting. My fourth time playing here and I still managed to lose several balls to the challenging course. Extreme elevation changes combined with tight and narrow fairways make for nervous tee offs and white knuckle approaches to greens, a slight hook or slice you can kiss your balls goodbye and so goes your scores. Single handicappers will enjoy this course but the rest of us can only dream of bogeying every hole, we will be back for revenge!
