With over 300 days of sunshine a year and less than 7 inches of rainfall, Horn Rapids offers year-round golfing. The Links at Horn Rapids is one of the best desert courses in the Pacific Northwest and an experience you won’t want to pass up.
Winding through the sand and sage of the natural desert, Horn Rapids provides a brilliant contrast of greens backed by desert colors and set against the backdrop of Rattlesnake Mountain. This desert course features narrow fairways lined by sagebrush and a standard cut of rough. The small greens are undulating and fast, and the terrain is rolling.
The signature hole is #13, 156 yard par 3 that overlooks the Yakima River and a beautiful Rattlesnake Mountain. All 5 Tees are rated for both men and ladies.
Horn Rapids is one of the few courses out there that doesn’t have holes that run parallel to one another. Unless you find yourself on one of the higher points of the property, it’s possible to go the entire day without seeing anyone but the groups in front or behind you.
The course, on the outside of the Tri-Cities, has undergone an ownership change in the last few years and the new owners are embracing the potential that the layout has to offer. With plenty of property around the golf course, new homes are being built and money put into the course to improve its conditions and playability.
Included in those improvements are a new irrigation system, a practice facility, and new clubhouse. Since the purchase, both fairways and greens have seen a marked improvement.
