A underrated gem of a course

This is one of the best and most challenging courses in the county. It is not a prestige golf course but it is great for those that enjoy terrain courses. Featuring some fantastic tees and well placed and landscaped greens it is a course that can be both challenging and enjoyable for all skill levels. Cart is recommended.

First Time Playing

Great course. Beautiful scenery.

This is what most public courses are afraid to be. Trouble everywhere but plenty of room to get it around. I loved all the character and style of the layout. It is certainly a course you need to play a couple times to understand how best to play it. Greens were great. Difficult but fair. While it is walkable I don’t think I would do it. There are a few extreme elevation changes. I loved all the little ponds and creeks everywhere. It is just a really fun and challenging course and I can’t wait to go back.

Must Play Course in the Area

Overall a great course in the area
For most a Power Cart recommended significant uphill and downhill grade
Surprisingly for the time of year the course was over watered too soft and ball would plug in the dry of the summer
Offers a good challenge to all levels of golfers
I wouldn't recommend to beginners
A few strategic holes so study the card and drive up to take a look
Fairways are mostly generous
Greens are true and play mid speed
Driving range okay to warm up but no guage of club length drops off a steep hill
Guarantee you'll enjoy your round

Beautiful Course

Great course very well maintained. Beautiful views from almost every hole. Some very challenging holes with water and rough in play. Well maintained greens and fairways. I recommend using a power cart since the course is long and hilly.

Money needed

The course layout can be challenging. There is lots of hazards, not a great amount of bunkers but the water makes up for that.

I'd like to have seen the course in better shape, but that takes money and I'm not sure how busy the course is.

They have a decent driving range and a couple putting greens to warm up at. Club house is nothing special, sparse pro shop.

Overall, I would play it again if there was an event being held there like I was apart of today. The course could be very special is it has some doe behind it because the area and scenery is beautiful.

Every hole is interesting

If you like a course with some topography, Shuksan might suit you well. Lots of interesting ups and downs, elevated tee boxes, elevated greens. Very well-priced, including for Canadians like me - fair rate of exchange for our (now suffering) dollar. Remarkably dry for this time of year. Always potential for a really fun round.
