Holes 9
Type Resort
Par 27
Length 1435 yards
Slope N/A
Rating N/A

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.

played the course with a couple from Portland who had not played the course. The weather was perfect with sun and only a small amount of wind.

Staff was outstanding as usual so the whole experience was memorable.

This is a challenging course due to the narrow fairways. Put the driver away and all is good.

Beautiful views

Excellent pace of play. The course is nestled in the forest. Beautiful views of the Columbia river, mountains and woods. The course is short with lots of elevation changes. Must hit the ball straight to avoid the brush and blackberries. Enjoyed my day.
