The 18th hole at Bear Mountain Ranch Golf Course will leave you with a memorable
and lasting image of beauty and elegance. The par 5 measures 482 yards from the
forward tees to a little over 690 yards from the back tees. Almost a quarter-mile of
beautifully maintained turf finishes off the visually stunning day where the pristine,
55-mile long Lake Chelan and the Cascade Mountains are seen on every hole.
This memorable 18th ends with an approach shot through a 40-yard-wide gap in
the trees and over a stream to a gently rolling green. It is a demanding but fair hole,
but some may have to lay up on their third shot short of the stream and hope for an
accurate fourth shot to attain par. Birdies are possible, but every shot must be hit
accurately and not lack for distance.
Designed and built by Don Barth, the course is known beyond its vistas for its
excellent GPS system, overall turf conditions, and multiple tees, stretching from 5,063
yards to a whopping 7,213 yards.
Bear Mountain Ranch adds to the growing collection of golf courses in the sunlit area
of Lake Chelan, including Alta Lake, Desert Canyon, and Rock Island.
