THE LONG DAY
TWILIGHT ROUND
Chelan, WA
Bear Mountain Ranch
Desert Canyon
Desert Canyon is a good golf course with a fantastic amount of variety in the design and terrain. Each nine presents some great holes to enjoy with the 15th simply being one of the best in the entire Pacific Northwest. It’s easy to reach from Chelan for an afternoon round.
Your first round at Bear Mountain Ranch could be derailed by the amazing views. Nearly every hole has a view down to Lake Chelan or of the vineyards and orchards that line the hills around the lake. There are a few tricky holes, so pay attention to the GPS on your golf cart.
GETTING THERE
EAT or SEA
Depending on the amount of driving you’d like to do, there are a couple of options for getting to the Chelan area. The drive from Seattle is just over three hours and is a pretty easy drive at offpeak hours of the day. If you fly into Wenachee’s smaller airport, you’ll find yourself with a much shorter 30-45 minute drive up to Chelan and the surrounding area.
A QUICK BITE
Stormy Mountain This is the only brewery in the town of Chelan (there are others in neighboring towns) and both the beers and food are fantastic. During the season, Stormy Mountain offers live music on Friday and Saturday nights. If you stop in for lunch or dinner, the smoked brisket french dip is a sandwich that should NOT be missed.
WHERE TO STAY
Lakeside Lodge and Suites Choose from variety of accommodations, from Standard Rooms to Deluxe Suites, all well appointed with the amenities you desire. More like a resort than a hotel, Lakesdie Lodge puts the cool blue waters of Lake Chelan just a short walk from your room.
BONUS FEATURES
Slide Waters - Lake Chelan Waterpark The idea of a water park just a few hundred feet from the shores of Lake Chelan may sound like an odd idea, but it’s actually a fantastic place for families to spend the day. Slide Waters has a variety of water slides, pools, and swings, and plenty of lifeguards on duty to make sure even the youngest members of the family stay safe. Slide Waters is a family owned and operated business that understands how important time with family and friends can be.
