Great Course

Course is in great condition, greens a bit slow. Pace of play was great. Staff very friendly and helpful. This is a very challenging but fair course. We will be back to play it again soon.

Challenging

This was my first time playing Salish Cliffs, which was recommended by a colleague who has golfed it several times in the past. The course is a great challenge with a lot of fantastic features that make it a fun round. The course condition was very good and I would rate the bunkers as being extremely well kept. The entire staff was extremely friendly and accommodating, providing help and direction at every turn. We had lunch afterwards and the weight staff were equally friendly and prompt. The food was very good. From beginning to end I would say this course is now in the top tier of my favorites, I will plan to play it again as soon as my schedule allows.

Beautiful scenery and plenty of challenge!

This is a fantastic course! It is beautifully maintained, challenging, has friendly staff and a nice practice area. The course was still a little soft, and the greens were overly slow due to recent aeration, but in another week or two, the greens should be outstanding. The distance between holes and all the hills make a cart necessary for all but the most fit golfers.

Conditions explanation

Course conditions as far as bunkers, fairway and rough were immaculate. but.. the greens were some of the worst I’ve putted on for a course that nice. I’m aware they were aerated about 3-4 weeks ago but I’ve played here a few times and even when it’s the time of year where it’s supposed to be tip top shape the greens are extremely slow. I don’t understand why they just don’t try to make the greens somewhat fast, the rest of the course setup and condition doesn’t match up with those greens

The fairways were waterlogged, and the greens were incredibly slow; given this condition, I have no desire to ever return. I felt the green fee was a complete waste of money.

Winter golf

Was a rainy day, literally was the only one out there which was kinda awesome. Just like any course this time of year was quite soggy but the course was still in amazing shape all things considered. People who leave bad reviews about the COURSE when the weather is bad should review the COURSE not the conditions when you played. This course should never get anything less than 4 stars any time of year IMO.

Ugly

No Marshall, group in front hit 18 balls a hole, fairways soggy, green unhealed after 30 days means over watered. Driving range ok but you couldn't see the short chipping hole- ouch.

If you want to play...go in May- August.

Dan

My 3rd time playing here, it’s a very challenging layout but the upkeep of fairways and greens are top notch. Difficult course to score well but the lushness is something not seen much on a public layout. Great course, too bad I’m not a low handicap golfer if I was I would come to play here more often.

Pace of play

Foursome ahead of us acted like they were PGA pro's (not!.) THE most aggravating part is that they were playing two balls each. After I had mentioned this to the marshall they stopped but then decided to play incredibly slow. A great 6 hour round thanks to the guys with matching shirts that are not that good. Watched one of them throw and iron across the fairway and yell and scream like a child throwing a fit. Very unimpressive.

Great, but

Played thursday the 11th of Aug. Only real issue is you cannot hit range balls until 20 min from your tee time. So rush rush and you need atleast 5 minutes to drive to the first tee so do the math. No chipping green until by the first tee. Wasn't told about it so no chipping before the round. Got to the course an hr and a half early to really warm up, but didn't happen. No starter either like there used to be. Over watered around several sprinklers so actually a few mud spots as well as many spongy tee blocks. Great layout and greens though. Overall course is a 4+.

Hidden Gem

Took some guests from Hawaii, they are all enjoyed. We didn’t arrive early enough time to hit some balls. Overall it was a good value. Definitely returning back before season end.
