Windy day

High Cedar is a great course. Due to the amount of rain in the past couple of days the course was a little muddy. Also the wind blew the leaves off the trees which made it difficult to find your ball

Good Course despite wet conditions

High Cedars is a good course for beginners and accomplished players. Despite the heavy rains the previous three days the course surprisingly played pretty good. The cart path only was a key reason the course was in such good shape. Looks like they are working on the tee boxes on most holes.

Pace of play was okay considering the wet conditions. Food was a little pricey but very good and staff was very friendly. Overall I would recommend this course for first timers and seasoned golfers. You have great views of Mount Rainer throughout the course.

Great Fall Course

High Cedars is a great course to play this time of year. If it is clear, there are many beautiful views of Mt. Rainier. We also saw eagles that nest in the tall trees. There are a niece variety of holes with most fairways wide enough to allow for mishits. The greens were still bumpy and sandy and some temporary tees were used, due to fall maintenance.

Open Fairways

It's a very open course and fun the play. Boarders a river on a lot of holes and a bald eagle to see nested above one hole as well. Very pretty. The grounds crew leave huge grass clippings all over and seemed a little lazy and the greens on a couple holes were in horrible shape. For the money it's a great deal and course overall.

Great Executive Track

My wife and I enjoyed a quick 9 on this exec course. She's a novice golfer and the course was perfect for her. I liked that there are a couple of par 4s there so that I could let the big dog eat.

High Cedars first time

The three of us were first timers on the course and really enjoyed it. The tall trees made for staying on your fairway the best option. (I have a slice...) With the range bucket part of the cost made for a great way to warm up and be prepared. We enjoyed the day! We'll be back!

Stunning view of Mt Rainier

I have been playing Hi Cedars for 30 years or more and I still love the course. Some challenges but forgiving. Love that the geese are gone !!!! Staff on the desk are great folks and the food is good. You can never get enough of that Mt rainier view.

Decent course, well groomed, bring your own water

The staff was average - not particularly welcoming but at least they had someone there to service us.
We always use a GolfNow discount otherwise the greens fees are higher than the course warrants. The clubhouse and amenities were nice for breaks between rounds or post-play refreshments. The course itself was nicely kept, greens were smooth, no divets or bare spots. Trees line the different fairways but no problem finding errant shots. The only thing lacking is availability of drinking water - no fountains or water coolers on an 85 degree day. Otherwise a good local course.

good day of golf

Considering the heat of the last couple weeks the course was in pretty good shape, the greens are large and tough "IF" you are not in close to the hole for your first putt.
It was a good day, the staff was very friendly, and the 3 others I got to play with were fairly close to my level of play, so, we all seemed to have a good time.

Great greens, pretty course, SLOOOOOW

Wonderful greens in a great setting. Extremely slow pace on a Saturday- six hours! Staff did nothing to move slower groups along. And guy in pro shop will give you a lecture about not having a printout of your online booking even though course itself has record and sends own confirmation online in advance. Skip the lecture, dude. You already took my money. Good facility. Just need better customer service in pro shop and on course to pick up pace.

Great summer Course

This is the most picturesque course around on a clear, sunny day, other than Tapps Island (9hole course). However, DON'T play High Cedars in the winter or spring after heavy rains as it does not drain well at all and it is soggy and muddy. The day we played, it was busy and although management does a fantastic job of publicizing pace of play extraordinarily well, there was NO marshall enforcing ready golf rules. Being behind a particularly and excruciatingly slow threesome obviously uneducated in proper etiquette of golf, it was an excruciating and frustrating day. PLEASE, if you know you're holding up play, then let others play through! Used to have some beautiful views of the Puyallup River, but overgrown foliage has blocked most all the scenic views the course use to offer. Mount Rainier is still quite a spectacle on a clear day Unless you get a "hot" deal on golf now, I recommend you try Tapps Island, a hidden gem on Tapps Island that offers incredible views on most every hole!.

Greens like potato chips

Was a beautiful day! The mountain was out in all it's glory. The flowers and course scenery is really nice. There wa not a flat green to be found. All of them reminded us of a potato chip.......the really wavy kind! The greens weren't particularly fast but the undulation is incredible forget about trying to read them. The fairways are in good shape. Don't know if its the courses maint policy to have mowers start on hole one working their way to 18; however, we started around 11:30 and had mowers on practically every hole hole. One mower operator was not particularly friendly while we were waiting on the fairway to make our next shot .....heaven forbid a paying guest prevents him from doing his job! We thought they should have started the mowers on 18 and had them work backwards instead of playing the round with us. :-) Play was extremely slow, it's not a long course; however, we waited and waited on every hole; took almost 5 hours to finish! Beautiful course, super pro shop staff and restaurant staff.

good course, drainage issues

It rained really hard twice. Puddles formed on the greens making putting almost impossible. However, the problem was short-lived and we had fun anyway. Great value at $30 apiece which included the cart.
