Pateros sits at the confluence of the Methow and Columbia rivers in north-central Washington, a high-desert landscape of sagebrush flats, ochre hills, and dramatic river corridors that looks nothing like the rain-soaked Pacific Northwest most outsiders picture. Alta Lake Golf Course takes its name from the small alpine lake tucked into the hills above town, and the surrounding terrain gives the layout a rugged, wide-open character that's hard to find anywhere else in the state.
The Okanogan Highlands region draws outdoor enthusiasts for its hunting, fishing, and stark beauty, and golf here feels like an extension of that honest, no-frills culture. This is working-country golf — the kind of round where the views do as much work as the design, and where you're unlikely to encounter the trappings of a resort destination. Expect firm, sun-baked conditions through the long, dry summers and a pace of play that reflects a genuinely local membership.
For traveling golfers, Pateros offers a compelling detour off the beaten path. The Columbia River Valley corridor through Chelan County rewards those willing to explore, and a round at Alta Lake is the kind of experience that earns its place in the memory precisely because it doesn't try to be anything other than what it is.
