Salish Cliffs Golf Club, part of the Little Creek Casino & Resort, is located 20 minutes from Olympia and is just a little over an hour from Seattle. When the course opened in 2011, it was named "Best New Course" by both Golfweek and GOLF Magazine. The dramatic landscape of the course travels up and down over 600 feet of hillside, providing panoramic views of Kamilche Valley. The golf course is covered in bentgrass turf more frequently found in tropical climate, but that is just one of Salish Cliffs' many unique amenities. Each hole offers a unique challenge. Though the fairways and large greens roll true, accuracy is essential or you'll be severely penalized for missing them. The course finishes on a positive note with an opportunity for a birdie if you favor the left side all the way.

course nice looking some great holes

thought the course was good-great holes fun to play--startter,cart guys really great--pro shop on the other hand was sad-the person behind the counter should find another job where customer service is not required-he acted as though he didn't care whether we where there or not--I would never play this course based on the service if I had to pay full price--this is a good 40.00 course but not 90.00--it seemed that the traps all had footprints -there was no cart person on the course and no marshels -for the money they ask they need to get customer service people in their pro shop

Keep it in the fairway!

Great course, well maintained but rather wet. We had a couple of days of rain before playing and there were many places in the fairway with casual water, even on the slopes. The rough is long and difficult to find a ball because it is so thick. We played in about 4 3/4 hours mostly because we spent time searching for our drives. It is a cart only course and the day we played we were restricted to cart paths which I think happens often. The GPS in the carts gave good info but very few sprinklers with yardage on the course. Why can't courses put the old fashioned 100, 150...etc. markers on the fairways? Despite all that, we will be back. Only 15 minutes from Olympia.

Creative course design

I have golfed in some top world ranked golf courses. Although this course has some good bones, it currently does not merit the full rate it is charging. I paid $45, but the greens had just been punched. Unfortunately, there were numerous areas of sloppy mowing, lots of long, clumpy grass clippings left near greens and fairways. Bunkers have great sand, but they did not trim the edges, so it looked unkept. Fairways were smooth and well maintained. Some excellent options on a number of holes, big bombers can go for it!

Nice track

Course is somewhat challenging. Rough was starting to grow and was heavy and wet. Otherwise, course was in good condition and greens were fast, compared to other courses in the area. The pace of play was slow, but we were alerted to this. First really nice day of Spring and on a Sat. Could have seen the refreshment cart more frequently though.

First Time Playing

Fantastic Track

This course quickly became one of my absolute favorites. They really do everything right. Clubhouse, bag drop, restaurant, and obviously the course. All fantastic and done right. Challenging and beautiful holes with plenty of tees for golfers of all kind. Can't say enough good about this track.

This course is beautifully designed and manicured.

The plush fairways and scenic elevation changes make this a favorite of mine. Well worth the money, it starts with a warm reception right away followed by practice balls on a beautiful range, then the real fun begins with the course offering many many many challenges to attack. Enjoy all of them.
