The Dalles Country Club

Columbia River Gorge golf at its most unpretentious. Nine holes, semi-private but welcoming, the kind of course where locals have been teeing it up for generations without making a fuss about it. The Dalles sits at the eastern edge of the gorge where the landscape shifts from green to high desert, and the course reflects that transition. Walking is straightforward here. No drama, no gimmicks, just golf the way small-town Oregon has always done it. Show up, pay your green fee, play your round. The view toward the river doesn't hurt either.
