Anyone who has the opportunity to play Seattle Golf Club should jump at the chance. What a magnificent course and clubhouse! Every detail that a player could want in the way of a challenge exists here. The fairways are lush and the greens are superb. There are straight away holes, doglegs in both directions and some great Par-3 holes. One of the most beautiful holes is the 165-yard Par-3 eleventh, requiring a mid iron over a lake, surrounded with bunkers and a unique "wire rope pulley" that will pull a player and his clubs up a steep hill to the next tee, which is actually behind and to the right of the tenth hole. The 2009 Pac-10 Championships will be held here April 27-29. It's the home course for the Washington Huskies golf team.
Would travel: 120-300 Miles, Vacation Worthy
Bottom line: I would play again, Better than average course for the area, Ranks with the best in this price level
Condition of Course, Difficulty, Layout, Ambiance, Staff, Clubhouse, Pro Shop
