About Carson Hot Springs Golf Resort & Spa

The Carson Hot Springs Golf Resort & Spa in the Columbia River Gorge features a historic hotel completed in 1901, as well as cabins and a bathhouse added in 1923. The bathhouse offers a traditional experience with clawfoot tubs and vintage stylings. Mineral water is pumped directly into the tubs for an all-natural, healing bath, which can followed by a linen wrap and massage. There’s a restaurant at the resort and another one inside the clubhouse of the Elk Ridge Golf Course, a 6,461-yard layout dating to 2006. The outdoor pursuits of the region – hiking, biking, wineries and horseback riding – are at your fingertips.

Double Booked Tee Time

Every time we’ve played here this summer (4-5 times) tee times have been double booked. I’ve even contacted the pro shop to confirm the GolfNow times. My two groups ended up having to go off the back, but couldn’t complete the round when the turn to the front was too stacked up. While the pro shop acknowledged that “there’s a problem with the system”,, they were unaccommodating when it can to resolving the mess. Bad experience for my two groups & handled poorly be the staff. A full refund would have been appropriate.

Almost heaven

This may be the most beautiful course we play here in the greater Portland area. Conditions were great but the greens are challenging. Wish we could play here more often so we'd know the holes better but at about an hour away we only get here once or twice a year. The restaurant was closed and not everyone wore masks.

Best game this year!

After a recommendation from a friend, we finally tried it out. What a great course! Beautiful views, links style, the craziest greens I've ever seen. I ended up with one of my best scores ever to top it off. A little pricey but in the range for the better courses. I will definitely be heading back there again soon !

UNSAFE

The course layout is good, some great views. Greens are good.

The 1 Star rating is because the Management does NOT care about their Customers. They do not wear masks. Which means they do not care if they give you COVID.

Great course with beautiful views

I just recently found out that my favorite course is being remodeled (skamania lodge) to bring just a 9 home with an 18 hole putting course so I decided to try out this course near by to see if the views were comparable... Close! This cost s in beautiful shape... Very quick greens (took some getting used to) and some great views to boot. Enjoyed playing here very much and looking forward to playing it again soon!

Beautiful setting

Every holes has view of the majestic Columbia gorge, and you can just tell the great care and feeding of the golf course, tidy fairways and smooth greens. Highly recommended and I can’t wait to come back (shot 90 but knowing I could do a lot better). BTW, I was late half hour on a Hot Deal teetime but no problem with getting a new teetime with no additional charge or waiting, I really appreciated that.

Spectacular!

Beautiful setting with a well designed layout. Course official was friendly and accommodating, great way to spend the day despite the windy weather. We’ll be back for more!

Two areas for improvement:

1)more bathroom Facilities along the course and

2)pull carts that are more stable. My partner’s rented cart toppled over about 7-8 times with flat surfaces and wind.

Always an enjoyable round

Great course and was easy to work with staff. Snack cart always around and easy to check in and get out and play. Seems like a lot of new people working on the staff which wasn’t a bad thing. Worth driving from Vancouver for an hour versus playing closer by or heading to Oregon for a shorter trip. The views are amazing and the greens are as challenging as always. Great experience even on a busy Father’s Day. Will never stop playing this course! Well done.
