Golfing in Lake Chelan

Surrounded by sunshine, rolling hills, and sweeping lake views, Lake Chelan is a golfer’s paradise. With several incredible courses within a short drive of the Midtowner Motel, golfers of all levels can enjoy unforgettable rounds in one of Central Washington’s most scenic golf regions.

Just minutes from downtown, the Lake Chelan Golf Course offers an 18-hole championship layout, complete with practice greens, a pro shop, and a full-service restaurant. This par-72 course features tree-lined fairways and panoramic views of Lake Chelan, making it a favorite among locals and visitors alike.

For a more dramatic round, head to Bear Mountain Ranch Golf Course, perched high above the lake. Its hillside design, pristine fairways, and breathtaking vistas create one of the most memorable golf experiences in the Pacific Northwest.

Travel a bit farther and you’ll find Gamble Sands, located about an hour from Chelan in Brewster, WA. Consistently ranked among Golf Digest’s “Top 100 Public Courses in America,” Gamble Sands offers a true destination experience — wide fairways, fescue grasses, and unobstructed views of the Columbia River Basin. Many golfers consider it a bucket-list course for its world-class design and relaxed, links-style atmosphere.

Other nearby favorites include Desert Canyon Golf Resort in Orondo, Alta Lake Golf Course in Pateros, and Echo Valley Golf & Ski Area, which offers a fun and casual 9-hole course perfect for families and beginners.

With Chelan’s long, sunny season, you can golf almost year-round. After a day on the course, return to the Midtowner Motel for clean, comfortable, and affordable accommodations—just minutes from Chelan’s best golf, dining, and attractions.
