Hood River at Hood River Golf & Country Club

Hood River Golf & Country Club sits on a plateau above the Columbia River Gorge in Hood River, Oregon, offering views of Mount Hood and Mount Adams. The course was originally designed by H. Chandler Egan in 1925, with later work by George Junor. Egan, a two-time U.S. Amateur champion who became a prominent architect in the Pacific Northwest, routed the layout to take advantage of the dramatic natural setting and prevailing winds that funnel through the Gorge.

The course plays across rolling terrain with elevation changes that create variety in shot-making and perspective. The Columbia River Gorge location subjects the layout to consistent wind, particularly in the afternoon, which adds a strategic dimension to club selection and shot shaping. The property features mature trees that frame holes and define corridors, while the volcanic soil common to the region provides firm playing conditions during the summer months.

Hood River Golf & Country Club functions as a traditional member-owned facility serving the Hood River community and visiting golfers. The club maintains a relaxed atmosphere consistent with the outdoor recreation culture of the Columbia River Gorge region. The course has hosted regional amateur competitions over the decades and remains a fixture in Oregon golf, representing the work of Egan during a productive period of his design career in the state.
