Skamania Lodge Golf Course

Skamania was always one of my favorite courses to play even though I considered it quite difficult. Skamania has remodeled the course to be much more friendly and easier to get around for the more casual golfer. I like the final product. The course was in good condition, the staff was friendly (as always), and the views can't be beat. I think the new layout has achieved the aim of making the course more approachable for the casual golfer while retaining the things that made the course unique including elevation changes and great scenery. Advanced golfers will be able to work their short game in the tightish confines and casual golfers will enjoy the approachability and scenery.

Very beautiful course. Challenging because of tight fairways. But that makes it fun. The one thing they got wrong is the greens. They are turf and not grass. I gave it a try but it was a really bad experience. Balls just skid along the surface. You can't ground your putter behind the ball flatly. I would go back again to try for a better score except for those turf greens.

Unique, challenging layout. Amazing views of Columbia River gorge.

A most excellent day. Perfect weather. Great course conditions. We all had fun. Golf course pro and director, Guy, is super every time!

If I had hit my tee shots well I would have scored well. Beautiful scenery, challenging course with tight fairways. Plays short, but the tight fairways make up for it. I would strongly recommend a cart as it it very hilly. Side hill lies are the norm. I would play it again if I ever figure out how to hit a ball off the tee box, but not at the resort price ($85). Did I mention tight fairways?!!

Overall a fantastic course.
Tee boxes small and torn up is the only complaint.
Beautiful challenging course!

Most of the holes are considerably narrower than what you are used to. Some severe uphill and downhill holes and thick blackberry vines that eat balls interspersed among the big trees that knock down wayward shots. Tees and fairways were about average, greens were in very good shape. Speed was reasonable. Can’t say about the sand, must have missed it all. This place is a challenge, found myself thinking around it like a links course. From what I found in the bushes I’d say most folks are leaving their good balls at home as it could get expensive. Only hit five drivers today and played my best round here.

From the time we entered the pro shop to completing our round we enjoyed the beauty, weather and immaculate course. The greens are true and the hills and fairways are cut and kept in pristine condition. I would rank this course highly and I would play it again.

Even though it's a short course, I rated it "Somewhat Challenging" due to how much fun I have playing elevation golf. I arrived too late for my normal warm-up routine and it showed. I shot 44 on the front before I found my range on the back, where I shot a tidy 38.

The course condition was excellent, the greens were as tricky as ever, and we finished our round in 3:05 ... and that was with picking up a single to play with us on the 7th.

Just another smooth, fun, and economical place to play, with good draft beers & some slightly over-priced food. I love Skamania.

As a single digit golfer, I seldom used a driver as the fairways are very narrow. Easy to loose balls if you miss the fairway. This is compounded by the windy conditions.

Awesome course, views, staff, condition, pricing and layout. Will return soon.

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!

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

We love this course. Very beautiful with river views. It is narrow so bring lots of balls.

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
