Skamania Lodge - The Gorge 9
Rating Snapshot
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.

course is unique
Greens were a bit slow. Overall course is in excellent condition. Love to play it. Come to course about 4 times a year. Staff is very friendly and snack bar is great. Would recommend it to everyone.
Beautiful Scenery, tough conditions
The course would be much more enjoyable if management removed abundant Blackberry bushes lining fairways. There are plenty of trees to protect the fairways/rough............
Beautiful and a great value
Most of the fairways are tree lined and rather tight. It plays short, and you have to pick your targets. The holes offer a nice variety. The scenery is spectacular offering views of the Columbia Gorge and the lodge provides top notch amenities. Its a really nice course and I hope you have a chance to play here.
Challenging Golf
Boy when you come to play Skamania you better hit 'em strait! But man what an amazing layout and setting for a course. I have played at the lodge maybe 4 times now and each has been a pleasure. You will lose some balls but guaranteed to find quite a few as well. The staff is great both in the pro shop and the marshalls driving around on the course. I walked the 18 last time I played and sure enough walking up to the 17th green I was thinking to myself how amazing the water was gonna taste back at the clubhouse...a couple putts later as I'm moving toward the 18th here comes a Marshall and he offered me a water. It may be a small gesture but man it's the small things that can make all the difference. Skamania gets an A++ from this guy.
Beautiful setting
Playing this course is an adventure. Narrow fairways and unforgiving roughs, bring lots of extra golf balls. The course is well-maintained and very relaxing. After playing they have a great restaurant in the lodge and beautiful views.
Had a great time golfing with Jeff. Course offers opportunities to challenge every level of golfer, from duffers to scratch low handicappers.
Pretty course
Never used the driver...narrow but beautiful fairways.
interesting course.
snack bar service was unacceptable. They would not answer the phone .when to the counter they were to busy to even talk to me.Now if they are that busy some in management should get off there butt and help.This could be a deal braker.
Beautiful course
Have enjoyed playing here for many years. Alway beautiful and people in the pro shop r the very best! Always kind, courteous and professional.
nice service
I like to play sometime here good test for myself .
Fun course, beautiful scenery!
If you’re up for a challenge and enjoy target golf this is your place! Course is a little soggy this time the year but greens were still in great shape.
Great Course
This is a great course with very friendly staff. They also have exceptional winter rates.
Breathtaking views
LOve Skamania golf course. Have played it 22 times in last few years. The views are so stunning sometimes it is difficult to put all your mind into the golf.
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.
