Lake Chelan is the largest natural lake in the state of Washington. The gorgeous views of the lake and North Cascade mountains, friendly residents, and laid-back pace have been luring Seattleites there for years. 

Lake Chelan is also the perfect place for a golf trip. There are eight different golf courses located in and near the Chelan Valley.
