About this course
Desert Canyon Golf Resort is a course in Orondo, Washington, overlooking the Columbia River and Lake Entiat, built on land originally intended for an apple orchard. It was designed by Jack Frei with Rick Fehr and opened in the early 1990s, with sources citing 1993 or 1994 as the opening year.
The course brings desert-style target golf to central Washington, with dramatic elevation changes, more than 45 bunkers and abundant water hazards across a par-72 layout that stretches to roughly 7,200 to 7,300 yards from the back tees.

Lake Chelan Golf Course
Chelan, WA · 10 mi away
Lake Chelan Golf Course is a municipal 18-hole course in Chelan, Washington, sitting on a bluff above the south shore of Lake Chelan in the north-central part of the state. Local business people organized its construction in the mid-1960s, aiming to give the community both a home course and a golf destination alongside the area's water recreation appeal. The layout is a relatively short, roughly 6,430-yard track from the back tees, but its main defense is a set of small, elevated greens that reject imprecise approach shots. The front nine plays fairly flat, while the back nine introduces sharper elevation change and sidehill lies as the course climbs and descends the bluff overlooking the lake. Owned and operated by the City of Chelan, the course is open to the public with a pro shop, rental clubs and carts, and an on-site restaurant. Tee times can be booked up to 30 days in advance.
