Located just 45 minutes outside of Portland, Skamania Lodge Golf Course is surrounded by woodlands, giving it an entirely secluded feel. The course sits along the north bank of the Columbia River Gorge. Golfers shouldn't be surprised if they are joined by some of the abundant wildlife that call the course home, including deer, turtles, geese, and osprey. The terrain also provides a variety of challenges, ranging from dramatic elevation changes to mature trees lining the fairways. Water comes into play frequently, especially on the front nine, and the landing areas are extremely tight. The yardage listed on the scorecard, 6,025 yards, does not accurately reflect the challenges of this golf course so be prepared for a formidable test. Club selection, course management, and accuracy are all important factors in this round.

Skamania Lodge #7 (Windy Ridge) - Second shot should favor the left side to open up your approach to the green. Once on the green, take a minute to admire the grandeur of the Gorge, with wind Mountain in the background.

Skamania Lodge #5 - A good target is the large snag guarding the middle of the fairway. (Tell yourself that you hit a good shot if you actually hit the tree!) The landing area is actually quite large, and leaves a short iron approach shot.

Skamania Lodge #18: This double dogleg par 5 is rarely man's best friend. A strong finish to what we hope was a great day, this hole requires accuracy from tee to green to avoid finding the huckleberry bushes. Favor the left side of the fairway off the te

Skamania Lodge #6: Swirling winds can make this deceptively easy looking hole a bear. Club selection is very important, as you'll notice it's quite a drop from the tee. All in all, a shot that lands on the green is really very good!

Skamania Lodge #4: One of the course signature holes. Beware of the infamous Columbia Gorge winds that will blow your shot offline. A strong drive will clear the hazards, but a smart play is to lay back even with the large tree, 150 yards from the green.

Skamania Lodge #1: The fairway drops off to the right, so the ideal tee shot is down the left side. The hole is slightly uphill from 150 yards in so you might need one extra club for your approach.

Skamania Lodge #14: This hole has been named the

Skamania Lodge #12: A course signature hole. Ideal tee shot is around, over, under or through the clump of maple trees and down the hill. Don't get too greedy on your approach shot as this green is heavily guarded by Lilly Pad Lake on the right.

Skamania Lodge #2: Don't be fooled by the yardage on the scorecard. This hole, with Foster Creek lurking in the trees to the left, demands accuracy off the tee. A successful tee shot will reap great rewards and offer a good chance for a birdie.

Great course only surpassed by the folks that work there. Be prepared for super tight fairways and elevation changes. I couldn't be more pleased with our experience.

WOW. If you haven't played this course yet I highly recommend that you add this to your golfing bucket list! With tight fairways and lots of trees this is definitely a target course. If you have a slice or hook bring lots of balls!
