If you enjoy golfing, you’ll love the six courses within a short distance of one another. Lake Chelan is home to the new Bear Mountain Ranch Golf Course as well as the Lake Chelan Municipal Golf Course. Both offer panoramic lake views. There is an executive course located in Manson, and within Chelan’s city limits is the municipal golf course offering 18 holes with panoramic views of the lake. Take a short drive to the North, and you will find an 18-hole course surrounded by the rugged beauty of the mountains near Alta Lake. Just 17 miles south of Chelan is a top-rated 18-hole course overlooking the Columbia basin that also hosts an 18-hole championship-putting course.  A new championship 18-hole links course has been built 40 miles south of Chelan overlooking the rolling hills around Wenatchee and East Wenatchee. Just a few miles west of Wenatchee, enjoy the Bavarian ambiance while playing the 18-hole championship putting course or the miniature golf course, both in downtown Leavenworth.
