Pros: IMO- a wonderful layout for a course, adequate greens, challenging tight fairways, decent views, and unique holes. The Clubhouse/Restaurant staff are consistently nice and friendly.
Cons: This is an Oki Course, and many seasoned PNW golfers will understand what that implies. After Scott Oki sold his collection of courses to a non-US based international conglomerate, course conditions/maintenance have dramatically declined while tee time prices continue to rise. Over the past 4 years, despite numerous water jug holders placed throughout the course, I've yet to find any with an actual water container. I've also never encountered any ball washer actually filled with water. The course is swampy in the winter/fall, while summer brings many dry, unwatered, grassless areas. Tee boxes are mangled year round. This is ridiculous and unacceptable considering the price charged for Tee Times. Recently, I went to play a quick 9-holes, with low expectations knowing what winter golf can be like in the PNW. Course was a swamp but okay, and the greens were decent. My main issue is that they didn't inform me that hole 3,5, and 8 were temporary greens, nor was any discount offered. Inform golfers so they can decide whether or not they want to play!

Do not become a member at this golf club. They are very rude and do not know how to conduct conflict with their members good luck trying to cancel ever because they accountant never shows up for work and she’s the only person who knows how to do it. Best part of all she’s part time and never there when you need to cancel your account. I would recommend going to legion or snohomish golf course will never play here again.

Positives - nice clubhouse, friendly staff good practice facility (though not many covered mats for when it’s raining).
Negatives - not even close to worth the cost. Course is poorly maintained especially for $120+ weekend round (walking). Tons of bare spots and weeds. The Nile, which costs under $50 to walk is maintained much better and has better greens.

Called and booked a tee time yesterday. The pro forgot to mention I would be paying full price for temporary greens that are atrocious. Course seems like it would be good but I guess I’ll never know putting from the fairways.

Value: 5 out of 10, too much to make it my once or twice a week home course. Capitalism at its finest so can’t complain, good for them.
Condition: 7 out of 10, we played in rain so will give some slack and bump to 7. Felt like it was well maintained. Tee boxes needed some work, see attached.
Difficulty: 8 out of 10, loved the difficulty. Definitely not obnoxious and a lot of fun! Lots of thin challenging holes with fun hazards to strategize around.
Green Speed: 5 out of 10, felt just right for weekend out with the boys.
Pace of Play: 9 out of 10, only waited a couple of times.
Beauty: 9 out of 10, really did enjoy each hole. Great course with some great views
Weekend with the Boys Rating: 10 out of 10, definitely a course that plays perfectly for the a competitive boys weekend.
Overall: 7.3 on the Vogel scale. Loved the views and difficulty which made for a competitive round. The lack of greens keeping details with Seattle prices were the main negatives
