Indian Creek Golf Course
www.indiancreekgolf.com
omfortably situated within the picturesque Hood
River Valley, and just 50 miles east of downtown
CPortland, Indian Creek Golf Course offers some of
the most spectacular views in the state. Nestled near the
base of the state’s most iconic peak, Mt. Hood, its consistent
commitment to outstanding course conditions and friendly
service make even a casual round an unforgettable experi-
ence.
Opened in 1989, and welcoming golfers of all ages and abil-
ities, the course stretches to a reasonable 6,257 yards from
the back tees. With a varied mix of elevation changes, smart
bunker placement, and the challenge of three creeks (the fa-
cility’s namesake) meandering through the property, a casual
round of golf can be a test for even the most seasoned play-
ers. Most of the par 4’s require accuracy off the tee, and offer
a good mix of short and middle irons on approach shots. For
longer hitters, the par 5’s may be reachable in two, but the
real challenge at Indian Creek comes from its varied par 3’s,
most of which require a combination of length and accuracy
for success from tee to green. Seasonal winds may come into
play at times, so be sure to double check your club selection!
Indian Creek’s professional staff is well versed in the latest
trends in golf equipment and instruction – the facility’s full
service driving range and practice green is an ideal location
to work on one’s game. In addition, the Divots Restaurant at
Indian Creek offers lunch, happy hour, and dinner options,
and unmatched vistas of the Columbia River Gorge from its
spacious covered patio. Its service and comprehensive menu
have made the dining establishment a favorite to locals, as
well as to those looking for an idyllic valley location to host
a special event or occasion. In addition, a new Pavilion will
be finished by late spring of 2019 and will provide Indian
Creek with a fantastic spot to host after-golf gatherings and
other events.
