Beacon Rock Golf Course

About Beacon Rock Golf Course

This public track sits in the dramatic Columbia River Gorge, where the towering basalt monolith that gives the course its name creates one of the Pacific Northwest's most striking golf backdrops. The routing takes full advantage of the terrain, with elevation changes that offer glimpses of the river and surrounding cliffs throughout the round. While the course details remain somewhat mysterious, typical of many smaller Northwest layouts that prioritize the experience over marketing, the setting alone makes this worth the drive from Portland or Vancouver. At under 50 Google reviews, this is clearly a local's secret rather than a destination course, but that 4.0 rating suggests solid conditions and fair pricing. The fact that walking is encouraged speaks to both the course's old-school character and the natural beauty that makes hoofing it worthwhile. If you're exploring the Gorge's hiking trails or visiting Bonneville Dam, bringing your clubs for an afternoon round here beats fighting crowds at the area's better-known tracks.
