The front nine was opened in 1972 and the back nine completed in 1993. Since then, Desert Aire Golf Course has received accolades from Golf Digest, Northwest Golfer Magazine, Washington Golf Guide and the Central Washington Chapter of the PGA. The beautifully-groomed course winds through the sand, sage and gentle hills of the natural desert. This championship layout puts a premium on shotmaking an
d putting. It rewards those players who can manage their golf game around the penalties that await the overly aggressive golfer. The course is serenely nestled on an 8,000 acre lake formed by the Priest Rapids Dam along the majestic Columbia River in south central Washington and is framed by stunning vistas of the Umtanum Ridge.
