The Dolce Skamania Lodge Golf Course occupies a dramatic site in the Columbia River Gorge near Stevenson, Washington, approximately forty miles east of Portland. Gene "Bunny" Mason, a Pacific Northwest architect known for his work throughout Oregon and Washington in the latter decades of the twentieth century, designed the course to work with the region's challenging terrain. The property sits within one of the most scenic corridors in the Northwest, where the Columbia River cuts through the Cascade Range, creating steep basalt cliffs and dense coniferous forests. The routing navigates significant elevation changes and incorporates the natural topography of the gorge, with holes moving through stands of Douglas fir and offering views across the river valley. The design reflects Mason's regional approach to golf architecture, emphasizing playability while respecting the dramatic landscape. The course serves primarily resort guests at Skamania Lodge, which positions itself as a destination for visitors exploring the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. The layout provides a mountain golf experience distinct from the flatter courses west of the Cascades, with the gorge's microclimate—often windy, with weather patterns influenced by the river corridor—adding a variable element to play. The course functions as part of the lodge's broader recreational offerings in an area known for hiking, waterfalls, and outdoor activities along the Historic Columbia River Highway.
