RMAI is pleased to participate in Green Choice Program.  With this program, rooms will not receive daily service. You can request a quick room refresh, additional towels, or supplies.  By participating, our group each day is helping to save…

  • Enough electricity to operate your tablet for 5 days.
  • 45 Gallons of water – enough to water a 15-pound dog for a year.
  • The same amount of natural gas needed to bake five dozen cookies.
  • And fewer cleaners mean less chemicals released into the environment.

As a bonus you will also receive a $5.00 voucher for use on retail items, spa services, golf activities and individual dining at the Lodge, for each day you don’t have service.

RMAI’s travel agent, David Stoller, is available to assist you with your flights. Call 480-860-2126 or email [email protected]. Please note, he is not involved with hotel reservations.

Portland International Airport is the nearest airport to Stevenson, WA.

Getting from the airport to Skamania Lodge via Uber and Lyft is readily accessible, getting from Skamania Lodge to the airport should be arranged in advance as they operate in a very limited capacity.

Golf at Elk Ridge Golf Course

Begin your networking early with a day of golfing (shotgun start) with your peers.  Enjoy legendary golf in a spectacular setting, starting with a 9:00 AM tee time and beautiful day outdoors. This gorgeous, newly re-sculpted links style course offers beautiful hills and forestation, as well as an excellent view of the Columbia Gorge.

Our rolling hills and 40 carefully located bunkers provide golfers with an exciting challenge. We are a par 71 golf course, playing more than 6,500 yards from the black tees and playing just 4,372 yards from the red tees.

This opportunity is limited to 48 attendees and available for both individual players and foursomes.  Golfers must be registered for the Executive Summit to participate.

Individual Golfer: $199

Individual players will be placed by RMAI into balanced foursomes with a mix of company types to create the best networking opportunities. Please note: RMAI does not provide listings of registered golfers for pairing requests.

Collared shirts and appropriate shoes must be worn at all times.  Jeans, cut-offs, gym shorts, tank tops, and t-shirts are not permitted on the golf course.  We require use of soft spikes or spike-less shoes.

Due to financial commitments required by RMAI, no refunds or credits for future events are offered for golf.  This includes no-shows due to weather, travel delays, illness or personal emergency.  Golfers may be substituted in advance for another individual.  Submit player changes to [email protected].
