Golf in Island City

Island City is a small Union County community adjacent to La Grande in the Grande Ronde Valley, where the valley floor's agricultural character (hay, grains, and cattle) defines the landscape between the Blue Mountains to the west and the Wallowa Mountains rising to the east. Island City functions as a residential extension of La Grande's amenities while maintaining its own incorporated identity. Golf in the Grande Ronde Valley serves a community that is geographically isolated from Oregon's population centers, with the Wallowa Mountains providing a dramatic eastern backdrop that rivals any scenic golf setting in the state. The Grande Ronde Valley's agricultural identity (a sharp contrast to the timbered Blue Mountain slopes rising on three sides) gives Island City its characteristic open, wide-sky setting that distinguishes eastern Oregon's valley communities from their western counterparts.
