China Creek Golf Course: breezy 9-holer with Columbia Gorge views in Arlington
China Creek Golf Course is a public nine-hole track in Arlington, set on the hillside at 1700 Railroad Avenue with views toward the Columbia River Gorge [2][3]. Dual tee boxes let players loop the layout as an 18-hole round without leaving the property [1][5].The course is short by modern standards, playing to a par in the mid‑30s and total yardage around the mid‑2,600s from the longer tees, with forward tees near the low‑2,000s—ideal territory for shaping wedges and tightening approach play [4][1]. A basic practice setup, including a putting area, makes it an easy stop for a quick tune-up or evening walk [2].True to its perch above the river corridor, the routing is exposed and scenic, with elevation changes and the familiar Gorge breeze adding bite to club selection even on calm days [1][6]. Set just off I‑84, it’s a convenient loop for travelers and locals alike [2].Essentials: 1700 Railroad Ave., Arlington, OR 97812; phone (541) 454‑2000 [3][4].
