Golf in Yakima

Yakima is the Yakima County seat and the hub of Washington's most productive agricultural and wine region, a city whose identity is defined by the extraordinary agricultural productivity of the Yakima Valley's rain shadow. The Yakima Valley AVA and the valley's hops — Washington produces most of the nation's hops crop — apple orchards, and wine grapes have established the region as a premier Pacific Northwest growing area. Multiple golf courses serve the diverse Yakima community in the valley's irrigated agricultural 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.
