Looking for a Golf Community in Tri-Cities?
US Golf Living can connect you with a local real-estate specialist who knows Tri-Cities's golf communities.
Southeastern Washington's Tri-Cities region (Richland, Kennewick and Pasco, built around the Hanford site's legacy workforce and a growing wine industry) has one confirmed genuine golf-residential anchor: Meadow Springs Country Club in Richland, a private, invitation-only, member-owned club whose course runs directly through an established neighborhood of roughly 230 homes along its 'Second Nine' holes. Two other Tri-Cities candidates researched at full depth in this pass -- Horn Rapids (a large, 835-acre master-planned community around a privately owned, public-access course) and Canyon Lakes Golf Course in Kennewick (an ordinary public municipal-area course) -- did not show a genuine membership-bundling or private-access mechanic and were excluded rather than published here.
Meadow Springs itself does not bundle club membership to nearby homeownership -- the Second Nine neighborhood's own homeowners association is a separate, nominal ($36/year) covenant entity, legally unconnected to the country club. Qualification here rests on the club's genuine invitation-only barrier to entry combined with its established residential integration, not on any bundled-access mechanic.
Membership & Access Patterns
Meadow Springs Country Club membership is invitation-only and not disclosed publicly in fee detail; it is not included with, required for, or automatically available to owners of nearby homes. The surrounding Second Nine neighborhood's own HOA (mandatory, $36/year) covers covenants and neighborhood upkeep only, with no role in golf access.
Geography & Getting Around
Richland sits at the confluence of the Yakima, Snake and Columbia rivers alongside Kennewick and Pasco, forming the Tri-Cities -- a Southeastern Washington region distinct in character from both Seattle Metro and the Yakima Valley, shaped historically by the Hanford site and more recently by wine tourism.
