Three Rivers, located in Kelso, Washington, is a testament to accessible, enjoyable golf in the Pacific Northwest. Carved into the fertile valley between the Cowlitz and Columbia Rivers, its design reflects a modern approach to playability over penal difficulty, favoring golfers who can manage the often-present breezes that sweep across the open landscape. Originally conceived as a community course, Three Rivers eschews the architectural signatures of renowned designers. Instead, its layout offers a straightforward and welcoming experience, rewarding strategic positioning rather than brute force. The fairways are generous, but errant approaches will find water hazards or well-placed bunkers, demanding thoughtful club selection and accuracy on approach. While not a tournament venue, Three Rivers holds a unique place in the local golfing community. Known for its friendly atmosphere and unpretentious vibe, it has been a stalwart in the local golfing landscape for years. It has earned a strong base of local players in the general area. The club also has strong ties to local charitable organizations.
