Golf in Desert Aire

Desert Aire is a Yakima County community on the Columbia River west of Mattawa in the Columbia Basin's arid shrub-steppe landscape. The Columbia River's course through the high desert and the surrounding Yakima County scrubland create the central Washington desert community context. Golf serves the Desert Aire community in the Columbia River landscape where the contrast between the river's green corridors and the surrounding desert creates the characteristic high desert Pacific Northwest setting. The broader Washington community's investment in recreational infrastructure reflects the Pacific Northwest's commitment to outdoor quality of life, and the local golf course serves the full range of the state's population — professional, working, military, and agricultural — in a landscape of genuine natural distinction.
