Greens need help

The golf course is real nice. Greens in July should not have dead spots. Golfed with two nice guys and my wife and they place the course all the time. It seems that the money is being spent on the rope course. We play that on sunday

Great Hot Deal

Course was awesome. Course was in very good shape. Had trouble with decent food options but that's because there's a wedding going on other than that this was one of the best courses I've played this year.

Great day Golfing

The course was in great shape. i was not prepared for how hard and fast the greens were but that is my fault and not that of the course.

All the people from the greeters to the person i passed walking to the bathroom were very friendly.

Overall a great day and i look forward to heading there again.

Rope Rider - very well groomed and playable

One of the nicer courses I have played . Well maintainied and plays fairly. Greens surface was above average. Not much OB. You can actually hit some decent shots out of the rough. Beautiful setting.

Rope Rider

Course in excellent shape. Best sand( bunkers) I have ever had to hit out of. Light and fluffy silica sand! Ball stays up.
I might suggest sanding/punching the tee areas more and applying more water. Some tees next to impossible to sink a long tee into!! I would play again. Fairway bunkers strategically placed.

Great day away

Really enjoyed this course! Great layout, extremely friendly staff and exceptional course conditions. Easy 70 mile drive on I-90 from the west side. When it's raining in Seattle this is a quick easy way to escape to the sunshine

Perfect course to truly enjoy golf

Course is wide open with great view. Relaxing ambiance with beautiful green. Course drains very well and ground is mostly dry even though I played a day after a week of relentless rain. Fairway is wide and easy to recover from a bad shot. However, bunkers are in good locations to challenge long hitters.

The Prospector course at Suncadia delivers evergreen golf without the rain

Not to take anything away from this sporty resort course, but its biggest selling point has to be the location. It could be pouring in Seattle, but just drive across the mountain highway bypass to find the sun at this really cool resort. The downside is a constant wind that can blow away any chance at a good score.
Arnold Palmer's routing looks like it was built in the 1990s, not 2005, thanks to fairway mounding and demanding undulating greens. The 412-yard, par-4 ninth and 540-yard, par-5 18th share daunting approach shots over the same pond. The clubhouse serves excellent food on the patio.

Beautiful course, top 10

Got to play Prospector at suncadia and re affirmed the reason I love mountain golf in the Pacific Northwest. Incredibly challenging pin placements, incredibly fast and true greens, and tee shots to make you doubt yourself. I have played 15 of the "top 20" golf courses our state has to offer and in my opinion this course is arguably #1. Heavily defended greens, some narrow fairways, and a miss putt that will carry a mile. I will be coming back.

Pretty Setting-enjoyed seeing all of the wildlife roaming the course

Conditibons were wet when we played but course seemed to drain well. It would have been nice if the carts included drop down covers for our clubs, but they did provide us with extra towels to help. We will definitely play there again.

A Great Golf Bargain!!!

Rope Rider is one of my favorite public courses and it did not disappoint as it was in pristine condition (like you would expect if you were playing in a tournament). A little thunder and lightning at the beginning but otherwise, a great day for golf weatherwise. A great golf bargain for $33 ($40 - $10 discount + sales tax) while others paid $90.

This course requires staff attention.

There was no staff visible (started at 2pm). There is no food/beverage cart, and the cafe at the turn was closed at 3pm, and all the staff disappeared. No greeter at the 1st hole.
There was no water in the ball cleaner containers, no towels.
The greens are full of ball marks. Fairways are in good condition. Too windy.

Fun to play

Rope Rider course was billed as "Women Friendly" and it really was. I was able to outdrive my husband and be about even after our second shots (never have been able to do that before). It made the play really fun for both of us. It's a fairly wide open course in good shape. I loved it and we'll be back!

Great time

The course was in great shape. The staff was helpful and kind. I found the pace of play to be a bit slow as my group of 3 waited on just about every tee box. Other than that it is a wonderful place to play.
