Understand that it’s winter, but at least drag a rake through the traps. Great layout, shabby maintenance. Druids could be a great course if it was taken care of. Fairways always undergrown.
Very nice course. Greens are back in shape and roll nice. Place is well taken care of. Of course the staff is the best. Go experience the view of Rainier in the background. You will love it.
Great Value
We got in on the weekly " Hot Deal " for 11/6 and paid $21.00 per person for the round and a cart... could not beat that ! Even though it was in the mid 40's temperature, the course was in great shape and have no complaints /issues at all .
Very Slow pace of Play
We had a tee time just before 2 PM they had a 30 minute back up but they let us go just after our scheduled time. The starter said it was a tee time mix up and some groups booked on golf now but it did not get on the schedule. The first three holes was an hour to play because of the back up. We had three different people that started after us leap frog us slowing play down even more. We ended up skipping three holes to get past the two groups of 4 that was holding up play. Once past them on the 6th hole we teamed up with another two and had a very nice pace of play. Finished out the 18 in 4 1/2 hours but skipping three holes because of a scheduling screw up was not that great. Greens are in good shape but the fairways are very wet with lots of divots. This is a fun course to play with challenging of water hazards. This is not a course to walk not that you can't do it but it will hold up play due to the distance between holes.
1000:1 awesome for mid October
Wasn’t expecting course conditions like this in the PNW for mid October. Great roll on the fairways and only three greens played like they had been punched yesterday.
Water hazards were 1/4 full so extra balls were aplenty but didn’t take away from experience.
Overall above expectations!
Druids Glen on a perfect day
Played Druids Glen on Columbus Day and it was a perfect day. Course was also in perfect shape and we had an very enjoyable round.
Great Layout - course is on the mend
This is a professionally designed golf course that looks like it was badly damaged over an extended period of time. However, the tees, fairways, and greens are look like they are on the mend and the course is also repairing all the lakes / water hazards as well. The greens are large and well designed. Nice elevation changes on some of the holes. Overall, if the greenskeeping staff continue to take the course in the right direction, I will definitely return.
Disappointment
I played the course about 2 o3 3 months ago and it was in terrible condition. When I called to book the round I asked about the condition of the course and was told it was not under repair. When I arrived I found greens that were still partially sanded and the tee boxes had been punched. Fairways are suffering from lack of water. It has been a warm summer but compared to other courses in the area the fairways are hardpan. In my opinion they have no business charging full rates until the course is in better condition.
I like the layout of this course but am disappointed in their apparent lack of basic green keeping principles. I would avoid this course until next spring. Maybe by then they will have restored it to a playable condition.
Very nice course, very challenging!
This course is well maintained and is challenging but fun!
Above average for beginning of fall!
Got on via GolfNow for less than 1/2 the normal rate. Pace was excellent.
Had been punched 2 weeks prior but only experienced shoddy rolls on select greens. Good second and third cut action on all holes.
No F&B service on the course for a Friday afternoon, though...?
Overall above expectations.
This is top 10 in Washington?
Then Washington doesn't have good golf compared to much of the country.
I can see the good. It has a textured layout. It would be pretty if it wasn't all burned out...but it was all burned out. It has a real driving range (rare in WA), but of course you are on the mats all summer.
A couple spots have great views of Rainier. The Taproom is actually excellent and the outdoor patio during the nice weather (like this was in September).
Downsides: Alternately gushy or hard and bare right in front of the greens. Broken sprinklers? Many? How does this place handle rain? Because there were wet, low spots in the fairways, too. Alongside burnt out swaths. I don't need Augusta, but i would say this went beyond reasonable natural imperfections. This was 'Needs Attention'.
Under Construction
This course has potential, I've been playing here for a few years. The downside is it looks like the course is never finished, temporary greens, Cart paths crumbling away most of the water hazards are drained and exposing black tarps. Rarely do you see any mobile Cart service. Forget playing in the winter unless you like to lose your ball in the middle of the fairways due to soft muddy conditions. Oh and you'll have to track someone down to get range balls out of the machine they get backed up. The new GPS Carts are cool, it's a good step in making improvements. Beautiful views.
Seen better conditions.
I really like this golf course. Have played here many times. It is actually much better earlier in the season, as they use the water from the ponds to water the course. The ponds were almost empty and the fairways were very dry and not in very good shape. But it is late and there has been very little rain. Otherwise this course is a great place to play. The layout is fun and challenging, although the fairway bunkers are a little deep for my liking. People are nice and helpful and they have an outstanding 19th hole where the food is outstanding and the service is fast and friendly.
