Salish review August 7th 2026

This is my favorite course in western Washington. I would play here more often if it wasn't for the drive and the cost of green fees. I left Des Moines at 11:40 on this Friday but did not arrive at the course until 1:20 .

Generally the course was in good condition but we felt that a few holes had been overly watered and were actually kind of Muddy in spots which is kind of unusual for a midsummer round.

Beautiful Track in Great Condition

Lots of elevation changes and a wide variety of pin locations make this course extremely interesting. Though every hole is fair, wayward shots are severely penalized, as balls disappear in high heather or fall down a ravine.

Though you might need to bring a few extra balls, the sacrifice will be well worth it!!

Great course, better staff

Played the course for the first time with a friend from out of town. Was greeted by 2 great staff in the pro shop when checking in. When we told them it was our first time playing the course they explained the course layout and holes to watch out for certain things. Course was in beautiful shape. Would play here again.

Overgrown Rough

Course in very good shape. Fairways nice, undulating greens, but, rolled true, Sand bunkers were crusty but soft sand underneath made it somewhat difficult to get out. First cut of rough was very thick and balls would disappear. Fescue was long and thick which swallowed up any ball headed that way. Nice set up but a little slow for Sunday afternoon, several tee boxes, choose wisely as many tee shots require quite the carry to find the fairways. Nice driving range, putting green was big and a little chipping area by the first tee box. Friendly staff and nice restaurant bar area.

Always in great shape

Really enjoy this course. It's a full day for us as we live near Seattle but worth the trip. I've never been disappointed by course conditions. This time we were very early and they graciously moved our tee time up more than an hour to accommodate us. Highly recommend this course.

Lush fairways, big views, and firm smooth greens.

Nice track! Off the beaten path, maintenance and greens-keeping were very nice. Definitely the nicest public course in the area.

Humbling!

This course definitely puts you back into the mindset of "maybe I'm not that good" Makes you want to get out and practice. Also, bring LOTS of balls as the narrow fairways and REALY LONG grass in the trees eats them right up!

A significant challenge for average golfers.

Bring lots of golf balls, because if you’re not on the fairways, they’re gonna be gobbled up.

I played with three other average golfers btw 12-20 handicaps and we all walked away with positive comments about the setting, but definitely feeling frustrated due to constantly disappearing golf balls. One guy lost two in the tee box by just accidentally dropping them out of the washer before teeing off…They bounced twice down the hill and were never seen again.

It’s a beautiful golf course. It was in great shape, and the greens were nice. The staff was pleasant although we didn’t see a cart girl all day so that was the only minus. The nearby casino and hotel are pretty cool.

PNW allstar

Arguably one of the more beautiful PNW tracks. Course was in great shape. Especially the hazards, but seriously, all the bunkers have been reworked, they're in great shape. Plenty of fried eggs out there. Greens rolled pure as can be.

Gorgeous course!

Salish cliffs is well worth the trek! Greens roll well, golf course is technical but not too difficult. Our group played off the whites and gave a lot of opportunities to go low or go for it!

Salish cliffs pace of play

For a Thursday afternoon I have never seen pace of play so bad, even comparing it to a muni in the middle of Seattle. 3.5 hours to finish the front, 3 2 some in front of us follow by 2 3 some and a super slow 2 some in front. We skipped 10-16 to try to make up time and passed a hole with 4 groups on it. Took a hour to play 17 and 18. For a course like this you’d figure a Marshall would be letting slow players to pick it up. Carts have the gps so it is not like the course was unaware how backed up it was. The course it self was top tier, but pace of play absolutely ruined the round. Would probably not return to the course except in the off season.

Just book it.

Salish cliffs is a gorgeous course. Range balls and carts are included in your green fees. Practice area is nice, but the course is great. Fairways are beautiful, and greens are fast. And the bunkers? Oh boy they know how to do bunkers. Sand is so white you'd better be wearing sunglasses. Soft, fluffy sand. Just a great experience all around. Book it.

Fun, challenging course!

I come here maybe 2 times a year because of the course layout and honestly the nice golf carts with GPS that comes with the round. Tight course that requires most of the time, straight and accurate drives off the tee box or you’re losing golf balls. I recommend a 3 wood off the tee to get it in play if you’re squirrelly with a driver. I learned years ago that driver most of the time will get me in trouble and only hit driver here for maybe 4 or 5 holes. I would recommend this course if you are looking for a challenging course with great greens and nice fairways. If you are a high-handicap player, it might not be the course for you but it’s still a nice venue.
