Golfer Reviews
Druids is challenging but a great course to play.
Well maintained course with enough water and bunkers to make shot selection and course management an important factor in your play.
Very nice course, several interesting holes.
I only wish the weather had been nicer so I could have enjoyed the views of Mt. Rainier. Challenging course, with rough that makes one pay for not keeping the ball in the fairway.
Great layout - challenging but fair
Despite cold, rainy, and windy weather the course faired will only a few soggy areas. New pub was well done and the food was great.
Needs a little TLC to be considered one of the better courses.
They need to take care of a few issues, ie: water hazards, traps, drainage. They also removed GPS from the carts so better yardage markers are needed on the fairways.
Really Nice Track!
With all the heavy rains we've had recently, I was pleasantly surprised at how dry most of the course was! Greens were also rolling pretty true.... Definitely will be back, especially with the hot deal prices golfnow.com offers!
Early Season
The greens had been aerified 11 days earlier and were rounding into shape, but still bumpy and on the slow side. This course has some challenging elevation changes and water which comes into play on 7 holes. Course was still a little wet due to past weather. Looks like it will be in great shape this year once summer comes along.
Challenge good course
The course was still under spring time maintenance. Slow sand green. No markers for distance and I forgot my GPS and range finder, some shredded grasses were still on fairway. But who care, it was still a good course, good price, my friend and I still enjoyed the round.
My favorite public course needs some TLC!
Shocked to find my favorite upscale public course and clubhouse in really rough condition!
New owners? Financial trouble? What happened to the great restaurant?
No starter? Slow play and no marshall?
At the turn we ordered hot dogs and the said "we don't have any buns!" What! No dog at the turn? We settled for dry turkey sandwiches. After our round we sat down for a beer and decided to order some food. When our server came and we ordered nachos, she said "we don't have chicken, you have to order beef." Huh? What else are you out of?
Elk droppings everywhere with huge hoof prints all over the middle of the fairway. The tee boxes were full off moss (no grass to be found?) and littered with broken tees. The traps hadn't been raked for days. Late in our round we saw 2 greens keepers sweeping the sand off the recently sanded greens. They definitely saw us coming up. When I shouted "we're coming up" they finally got off the green! Next shot, the greens keeper stood sweeping directly between the flag and my sons chip shot? What? When I asked him if we could have the green for a moment, he responded "don't worry, I can see." They reluctantly left the green and stood on the edge of the green right in sight, like a spectator, and staired us down while we putted. Weird!
Seemed like Kenwanda or Carnation. Maybe pay on the honor system? Not my favorite course. I hope they can get it together.
Had planned on making this my home course for the season! No way!
I could go on and on. Kind of depressing.
Tried to treat my son to a great afternoon. Pretty disappointed.
It was suppose to rain...
But it didn't rain a drop! There were very few players on the course in the morning. Our foursome was 2 holes ahead of the next closest group the entire day. Lots of time to hit a second shot or two (or three). Cart path only is not alot of fun and adds time to the round, but since it came with the tee time price........
Always enjoy playing this course.
Greens in remarkable shape for winter
Overall the course is in good shape. Only a couple fairways were wet enough for the ball to plug, but many fairways actually gave some roll. The greens were firm and quick, must be from covering them in the evenings. They are remodeling the restaurant but they still have a full menu and bar. Highly recommend, especially for the $20 price I got.
Great Deal for a Challenging Course
Mid February is typically too wet to play most courses in the NW. Druid's drained pretty well, especially for how many water features were on the course. I will play it again for sure and will reccomend to my friends.
solid layout
I enjoyed playing this course. The holes are well designed and interesting. It is a good test of golf without being punishing, especially from the standard tees. It was a very good value using the golf now rate. I think it is one of the best public courses in the Seattle-Tacoma region.
Discounted price makes it worth the hassle
Busy Sunday morning with no starter. Man in the pro shop told me not to be late (I checked in 45 minutes early) even though tee times were 15 minutes behind. Pace of play was slow at just over 5 hours with no ranger.
Winter conditions so course isn't expected to be in great shape but the greens were very bumpy. Unfortunately, this is what I've experienced every time I've played here over the past 10 years. At $20, the course was a good value. At their regular summer price, there are other courses that provide better value. Very good design, but overall experience is always lacking.
beautiful, but tough
We got a great time at a great price, but our round seemed to go on forever. Over 5 hours. We were constantly waiting for the foursome ahead of us who were waiting on the foursome ahead of them, etc. etc.
Great deal at $20
I was able to book a tee time for $20 through Golf Now. It's hard to find any complaints when you're playing for such a good price. Course was in decent shape, but greens were really bumpy and fairways were soggy. Pace of play wasn't bad either.I'm sure it's a different course in the summer, probably much much more difficult. But for $20, this place is above average.
The course has great character.
The course is off the beaten path but worth the drive. Clubhouse and staff were very nice. The course gives a challenge from all tee boxes, with water, traps and elevation changes to test your skills. Risk/reward is present on all holes......smart course management is a must for a good score. For February, the golf course played well, with no standing water. A couple of fairways had low spots that were very soft allowing for little or no roll. The greens putted nicely considering the time of year. Winter maintenance was evident, as sand was being added appropriately to most fairways. The sky cleared as we made the turn, so Mt. Rainier came out in its glory.....beautiful views from the course. I've played here many times and keep coming back. Summer golf here is terrific, but it should be on your list for a dry winter day too. BTW, the old chef is back at the 19th hole...........food was very good and there is a selection of 30 different beers on tap.
Fun course but challenging
Fairways heavily sanded but very playable in winter conditions. Sand traps well groomed with good sand even when wet. Greens ran fast but a little bumpy. Overall a good winter round between days of rain.
I like this course!
Got there with plenty of time to spare but was held back form our tee time due to the fog. Once we tee'd off the pace was a bit slow and the course was holding a bit of water. Plenty of deer droppings covering the fairways and a few jerks roam the course thinking that they are members of an exclusive public course. However ... I like this place! Very few houses to block your views from the wilderness, a good amount of water to add some difficulty and the course is always well maintained. Golf here if you can.
Delayed teeing off and pace of play was ridiculously slow 5+ hours
#17 was virtually unplayable it was like playing in a swamp, almost impossible to hit the ball off the fairway.
