Spanaway GC is beautiful, challenging, surprisingly long.
Was playing with a friend who hadn’t played it and he was very impressed and loved it.
Hot as hades on the 16th, regardless, it was a pleasure.
Excellent value.

Best Bang For your $
Course was in good shape but it is a public course so not perfect. Greens were really fast but a little bumpy in places. Some tee boxes are a bit mounded and will eventually need leveling, bunkers were fantastic and pretty perfect as were the fairways. It’s a test of a golf course with many really great holes. Highly Recommend. Pace of play was 4:20
