Frequently Asked Questions

Is Klickitat County a worthwhile golf destination, considering it only has one course?

Yes, absolutely, but you need to manage your expectations. We recommend Klickitat County for a specific kind of golf trip-one where you're looking for a relaxed, uncrowded experience rather than a multi-course marathon. It's perfect for a day trip or a short, focused getaway where the golf is just one part of a broader outdoor adventure.

When is the best time of year to play golf in Klickitat County?

We've found late spring through early fall offers the best conditions. You'll enjoy comfortable temperatures and the course will be in prime shape, showcasing its natural beauty. Avoid the peak of summer if you're sensitive to heat, as it can get quite warm, though the dry air often makes it bearable.

What makes the golf course in Klickitat County unique, and what should I expect from the layout?

This course truly embraces its high desert surroundings, offering a distinct links-style feel with wide-open fairways and strategic bunkering. Expect a challenging but fair test, where wind can often be a significant factor, adding an extra layer of strategy to your shots. The views of the surrounding landscape are a constant highlight, making every hole memorable.

What's the typical cost to play golf in Klickitat County, and how accessible is it?

You'll find the green fees here are quite reasonable, especially compared to more crowded destinations, offering excellent value for the experience. It's generally easy to secure a tee time, even on short notice, which is a huge plus for spontaneous trips. Just remember it's a bit off the beaten path, so factor in travel time to reach this hidden gem.

Since there's only one golf course, what else can I do in Klickitat County to round out my trip?

Klickitat County is an outdoor enthusiast's dream, so plan to explore beyond the fairways. We highly recommend hiking or mountain biking on the numerous trails, or enjoying some fishing on the Klickitat River. It's the perfect place to combine a relaxed round of golf with a genuine escape into nature.
