Gem in the Foothills of the Cascades

If you are looking for challenging course where the long hitter could get in trouble, this is the course for you. The vistas are awesome for somebody from the south east. I did not find the Proshop friendly, but that could have been a bad day. Although there were a number of golfers walking with a cart, I am in good shape and I found it difficult to walk 18. Beware the golf cart is not included in the GolfNow price. I thought the price to rent clubs was too high and the price to play an additional few holes with few people on the course was out rageous. The course was in god shape with a lot of up and down, and dog legs.

Challenging Course but Greens Need work

I liked the course, but found the greens bumpy- especially where there were previous holes. The greens did not roll consistently.

The course is challenging and has some great holes.

The course was in good shape and drains well. It has a few holes that need your attention and that does not include just going for it. The staff was friendly and informative.

The course has challenging holes but staff needs work.

We played on a day with a lot of potential for rain and lightning. I asked for the Golf Now reservation sheet back in case the skies open up with rain and lightning. The guy in the pro shop said it would do us no good. He said that Golf Now would call the course and ask if the course was closed . The guy said they never close course because of rain or lightning. There are cart paths all the way around the course, and players can wait for a lightning storm to pass. This is totally abnormal and would not use Golf Now to play there again, if there is even a hint of rain.

The course is in terrible shape.

The greens were a mess. The course was flooded and does not drain at all. The sand traps had a foot of water in them and seaweed floating on top. We had to play the same nine twice. The tee boxes were a mess.

The course has character with challenging holes.

One needs to think before each shot, especially on the approach shots.

Pro shop Staff Could Use Coaching

We arrived at course early. Asked the Pro shop if we could go off earlier because there was no one on the tee. He held us and other up for about a half hour, while no one went off the tee during that time. Then when we did go off we were all bunched up for slow play. I felt like the guy was made because we got a good rate .

A challenging but wide open course.

The course has wide open fairways and interesting greens that roll true. The sand bunkers could use a little more sand, but I have always enjoyed the course and the views. What makes it nice is that there are no homes that you have to worry about when you make that rare slice or pull.
