Poor pro shop service

Pro shop staff was rude and dismissive because I had gotten a discounted tee time with golf now. I wouldn't play the course again because of this unless it was free. I actually went I'm after my round to buy something and the same staff member was ride again.

The big issue is I was early and they refused to even putting me on the course early. As single this is disturbing, As There were 4 some gaps.

Apologies for the slow reply...I just learned that I could respond to you. First of all, thank you for bringing your concerns to our attention. We strive to give great service to all our guests. We hope that you will (or have) come back again and provide us the opportunity to give you a better experience.

As for getting you out sooner than your scheduled tee time, we do strive to accommodate such requests, especially getting a single out in front of some foursomes...only makes sense! While I do not know the specifics of your circumstance, we typically do hold discounted times to their actual starting times to be fair to those who have paid more for their preferred, earlier tee time.

Thanks again for your comment and we hope to see you here at the course again soon...happy golfing!

Fair and challenging course that supports its reviews.

Course featured a number of very challenging forced carries over waste areas and very tightly mowed fairways. With the various tee options it should be enjoyable for everyone. Can be a ball eater if you are not reasonably straight.

Championship level course

Great course to play close to home. very challenging so sacrificing distance for accuracy is a good idea. The roughs are rough so stay in the fairway. Lots of fun holes which provides a nice variety.
Excellent shape throughout,clubhouse beautiful, very friendly staff.

Terrific Course

I know you have a totally championship course;the green fees are well worth it to play your course,but having said that,I believe if you brought them down some you would actually get more play and increase your revenue!Certainly will play it again;but would play it way more often if green fees were a bit lower!

Everything about Salish Cliffs is fabulous.

The drive in gives you a clue as to what you're in for. Then the clubhouse, the range, and the 9th and 18th greens. This place wowed me like no other course I've played. And I played Chambers Bay last week, no comparison. The PGA should have picked Salish.

Great Course, Great Day Trip.

This is my favorite course in Western WA. Great conditions, great layout, great setting. Bring some extra balls if your driver is not going straight, because you WILL lose your ball the second it leaves the fairway. Will be back in August to play again and win some $$$ from the Casino :-)

Beautiful course; Let me walk!

The course design is beautiful, though there aren't many really unique, interesting holes. The course is in great shape, especially the greens. Staff was friendly, but inexplicably held up our tee time 40 minutes for no apparent reason. I wish they perhaps recommended power carts rather than requiring them; I'd love to walk this course!

Great Course and Great Value with Hot Deal

My only complaint was the sandy greens on the front 9. Otherwise the fairways were like carpet, the views breathtaking, and the course was very fair if you stayed in the fairway.

Not the Real Deal yet

The course was playing very soft. Drives plugged in the fairway, greens were slow compared to how they normally play.

Playing from the tips played extra long with NO roll.

not one boring hole.

Great reward course. Can be played by all level of players. Not used to playing from a cart, but cart was necessary and GPS was awesome. Each hole was a wonderful experience. Greens were fun and very true. Best course I have played in some time, including pumpkin ridge.

Outstanding Course, Worth the Drive...

The course was in really great shape. There was definitely a premium on hitting straight drives. The fescue grass off the fairways was tough, and you were taking a penalty if you got into it. Good shots were rewarded and bad ones penalized, which is how a golf course should play. Amazing views throughout the entire course, and the staff was very accommodating.

Our foursome played on Saturday afternoon and it took about 4:15 to play, which is not bad at all. I will definitely play this course again. It was challenging, yet still fun.

Nice course - but wet and over-watered

Great views, nice holes with great variety. Don't understand why they throw so much water on the course. It's always "soft", with very little roll. This make the course play easier for big hitters because the ball plugs a little. The average player would benefit from more roll.

Fantastic Course

In my opinion, this is the best course in Western Washington at the moment. Incredible fairways to hit from, true rolling greens and great layout. It was a windy day which made it challenging with regards to club selection, but I would do it again in those same conditions.

Not for the 'spray and prayer'

If you have any difficulties keeping your ball close to the fairway, bring lots of balls, a couple dozen should be enough...don't bother trying to find it if you miss. You'll only ruin what was a very speedy round considering the difficulty of this course. The greens are some of the most challenging I've played in Washington, up there and maybe even slightly more difficult than Chambers Bay. But they do roll true if you can figure out how to read them. The rough is thick and there's only typically 2-10 yards of it before you are in knee high grass that eats balls for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Keep it on the fairways and greens at all costs and you'll still have a challenging round of golf. The aprons of the greens are smooth enough to putt on and sometimes it's a better option than a chip as getting a ball to stop on the greens can be a challenge. Wonderful course, I would play again.

Challenging, pristine course.

This course definitely deserves all the accolades it has received. Very tight cut fairways, long tough rough and excellent greens. This has to be one of the top courses in Washington. I was disappointed in the pace of play and the course marshall didn't seem to be concerned about it.

Previous rain forced us onto the cart paths only requiring a lot of walking to and from our balls. One had better be in good walking condition.

Bring a lot of balls if you plan on hitting anywhere but the fairway. One can not find any balls in the tall fescue grass. Greens look fast but are not. Everything is manicured to perfection. A very nice challange from either tee box.
