Golf in Kelso

Kelso is a Cowlitz County city at the confluence of the Cowlitz and Columbia rivers, the Cowlitz County seat serving the southwestern Washington timber and industrial community. The nearby Longview paper mill complex, the Columbia River's broad lower reach, and the volcanic landscape of the 1980 Mount St. Helens eruption — visible from the Kelso area — create the southwestern Washington community setting. Golf serves the Kelso-Longview community in the river confluence landscape of the southwestern Washington timber country. 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.
