We played as a twosome behind a very slow foursome on the first nine (Green Course), and the starter put us on the next nine he felt would be a better pace (Gold Course), and he was right. The effort to help us play a better pace is much appreciated.

The course is in good shape from tee to green, and having a starter available to disperse golfers across the 3 nines over Labor Day Weekend was nice to see. That's where the title of my review comes from, and if more courses had starters to assist groups with some pace of play suggestions, it would help to move things along. I play as a twosome with my wife often, and expect to take our time behind a foursome so we don't push them, but when someone waits for a group to arrive at a green on a par 5 before hitting their tee shot, they don't understand the game, and need some help.

The course I play routinely hands out a small card outlining how to play "Ready Golf", and it helps.

Tees, Fairways, Greens, Rough and Bunkers all in terrific condition. I'll be back a few times this summer for sure.

Whomever runs this course is spending more time and money on the looks of the clubhouse, and leaving the course alone. I was lucky to find balls that just missed fairways and greens due to the soft ground that ate them up. I don't complain about wet conditions in Western Washington, but i see nothing being done to alleviate the muddy conditions around greens and between fairways.

We played as our first round of 2015, so expected winter conditions, and played lift clean and place due to moisture on the course.

Greens were in great shape and course played well in the winter.

North Shore is in very good condition, compared to other area courses this time of year, but there are still some very soggy areas to avoid.

I was pleasantly surprised by the layout of this course. I wanted an inexpensive and playable course on the way home, and did'nt have high expectations for this course from the looks of the layout and short length @ 5800 yards. But, once on the course, the contours and curves of each hole kept me thinking about each shot, and i realized this course if very cleverly layed out on a small piece of property. Cedarcrest is a well kept course, and can be fun for all golfers.

While conditions of a few courses in the immediate vicinity have suffered lately due to the unusually warm, dry summer, Druids Glen has come through shining. Tees, fairways and greens are all in excellent shape right now, and I'd recommend this over many other area courses.

Until this round, I hadn't played Madrona for about 7 years. My memory of the course is good, but I'd known it to be one of the wetter Springtime courses in the area.

I was pleasantly surprised that the course is in very good condition, especially the greens. They were fast and true, but soft enough to hold shots from most anywhere.

Unfortunately, the restaraunt is being renovated, so no food service at the moment. This probably is part of the reason for the reduced fees that make it a great deal. I always carry snacks and enough water for the round anyhow.

With the closure looming, some maintenance is lacking, but what would you expect. I played on a Thursday, and the holes appeared to have been in the same position since the past weekend.
On top of that, the rough hadn't been mown in some time, and was quite penal, but you shouldn't be in the rough.
If you get the chance, play the course before it closes for good at the end of September.

I enjoy this course due to it's forgiveness and playability.

As long as you understand what you're getting for the cost, you'll enjoy this outing in Enumclaw. We played on a Saturday morning, and our foursome finished the round in under 4 hours.
