Skamania Lodge - The Gorge 9

I really enjoyed this course. The course is very well kept and the staff was quite helpful. Although the distances were shorter, the greens were very challenging. If I lived closer, I would come quite often.

I have played over 25 courses and this is the best. The conditions were very nice, but the greens were quite challenging. The staff was quite helpful and kind. If I lived closer, I would play this course quite often.

If you're looking for a relaxing par 3 course to play, this is it! The course is well-maintained, very clean, and perfect for golfers of all skill levels. The staff is always welcoming and helpful, which adds to the overall enjoyable experience.

I've played here many times and will definitely keep coming back. It's a great spot to work on your short game—the challenging, fast turf greens have really helped improve my putting.

After your round, you can head over to the resort to relax with a drink outside or take a peaceful walk along one of the many scenic trails. Highly recommend for a laid-back day of golf and relaxation.

It's a lovely spot, but they've changed to synthetic greens. If you're already going there and want to play then it's still a nice 9 hole course, but I certainly wouldn't drive to the location for the golf.

Amazing views. The greens are turf and are really fast. Overall great experience.

I took my kid up there and it is a decent par 3 course, I do wish they had real greens rather than artificial turf but for starting out golfing it was fun.

Synthetic tee boxes and greens a 9 hole par 3 is definitely aimed at hotel guests rather than serious golfers.. That said, it was still fun in a beautiful setting in the Columbia river gorge..

Played early Sunday morning and almost had the place to ourselves. Lovely. Tons of small flies/gnats on the course that the awesome guy in the shop said would be gone in a week.

The par 3 course is beautiful. There are 3 sets of tees to vary the length of your tee shot. I think the longest was 207 yards, most were within 110-170. Feels like you’re playing a prestigious country club in the forest. Only downside is the turf greens and turf tee boxes. Didn’t really impact my putting because I’m awful, but it did take away from the experience - for me anyway.

Definitely worth a visit, but I wish I’d come here before it was turned into a par 3. Out on the course, it’s pretty easy to see what the holes used to look like. Wow!

Lots of fun and it was interesting putting on artificial grass. The staff was great and laid back. Lots of fun.

Very surprised at the course. Wasn't expecting anything special but it was beautiful. Staff was awesome very friendly. Definitely will play again soon.

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.

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.

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!

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