Golf in Ellensburg

Ellensburg is the Kittitas County seat in the Kittitas Valley, home of Central Washington University and known for its remarkable wind — the valley's geography creates sustained winds that make it an exceptional kiteboarding and wind energy destination. The university's presence and the cattle and hay farming of the Kittitas Valley create a distinctive community that combines college town and agricultural center identities. The valley's natural wind and the surrounding Cascade foothills and Stuart Range peaks create the central Washington mountain valley setting. Washington's extraordinary geographic diversity — the rain-soaked western slopes, the Puget Sound waterways, the Cascade Range's volcanic peaks, and the sun-baked eastern plateau — creates community characters as varied as the landscape, and local golf reflects each region's specific natural and economic identity.
