Bear Mountain Ranch
No. 14 Par 5 518 yards (White)
When I close my eyes and picture a destination golf trip this summer, I see the 14th tee at Bear Mountain Ranch. The highest point on the course, the tee box at No. 14 affords views of several holes at BMR, one of the state’s most scenic courses, along with Lake Chelan and seemingly the entire Chelan valley. And that’s where the fun begins — a straight-downhill par-5 that gives back all the elevation gains of the previous two holes, it’s reachable in two for even a moderate hitter, provided you keep your drive in play and avoid the greenside pond. — B.B.
