Golf in Vancouver

Vancouver is Washington's fourth-largest city, a Clark County metropolitan center across the Columbia River from Portland, Oregon. The proximity to Portland creates a bi-state metropolitan dynamic where Washington's income tax advantage draws residents seeking Portland's amenities without Oregon income taxes. The Columbia River's broad lower reach, the accessible Columbia River waterfront, and the community's rapid growth as a Portland suburb create the southwestern Washington metropolitan setting. Multiple golf courses serve the Vancouver community in the Columbia River lowland landscape. The Pacific Northwest's outdoor recreation culture gives golf a natural place in community life alongside the hiking, kayaking, skiing, and water sports that define the Washington lifestyle, and the local course serves as a year-round anchor for the recreational community.
