Little Creek Casino Resort

Prior to playing I called to ask a question. The recording stated the following; "If you need to speak to the proshop leave your name and phone number and we'll call you". SERIOUSLY? This was mid-week mid afternoon. I went to the website and sent email to pro shop asking if there is a "rider fee" as I didn't find this info on their site. This email was sent 7 days prior to playing and I never received a reply.

Upon checking in the day of play I was told the rider fee of $22 was due. The issue is not the $ but lack response to email and the lame method they have of not taking a call directly.

The golf experience was very nice for the green fees I paid. I would never pay full price to play here as they really do not have it together for what is generally considered a top 10 resort course.

This course has a very friendly staff and is in a beautiful location. The course itself has breathtaking views and is in amazing shape. Very challenging for golfers of all skill levels, but many tee selections make it fun for everyone. If you are serious about playing golf and appreciate great greens this is the place to go. I will be back here many times.

Great golf course, excellent condition!
Course was still wet from spring rains and got minus 3 inches of roll on the drives so it played long.
Had a very relaxing 3 hour round, playing through one threesome and never saw another group and this was on a Sunday afternoon.
A must play!

play a lot of different courses and this by far is the most manicured course in Washington. layout was scenic and fair but extremely challenging. would definitely come back this summer and play it again. the 1.5 hour drive from seattle is worth it...

Salish has become my favorite course to play in Western Washington.
From the second you arrive you're treated like a King. The course is in excellent condition and the greens role fast and true.
You need to be a straight hitter here. Your ball will get swallowed up by the high rough on both sides of almost all holes.
Do yourself a favor and put Salish on your list for Must Play... you will not be disappointed!

Truly enjoy this course. Very well thought out. 2 well placed shot will leave you with eagle opportunity on 18.

First time playing here...better than average golf outing. Course conditions were very good considering the record rainfall earlier in March. Greens were exceptional for this time of year and rolled true. The beautiful surroundings enhance the overall experience. Some fairways have decent width- some, not so much. Keep it in play and you'll do ok. Some holes go directly from fairway to OB- not a lot of rough to play with if your drive is off-line. "Players" tees are at 6,300+ yds, but manageable. Even at that distance, the slope rating is 128, so bring your A game. Some elevation changes make it interesting too. Course probably would have played easier if there was some roll out off the tees.
The course location is not well marked- keep your eyes open as you approach the casino area or you'll miss it.

After all that rain, course is a very good shape specially greens.

Due to extreme rain I feel the course should have been shut down because of way too much standing water throughout the course. They could have given me a rain check and asked that I return when conditions are MUCH drier. Every shot that hit the fairway plugged. Had problems finding ball.

Nice course was a little wet. Pace of play was good. Greens were in good shape. Staff very helpful and friendly.

The Little Creek Casino Resort, owned by the Squaxin Island Tribe, opened this Gene Bates design in fall 2011 in the Kamilche Valley, showcasing a dramatic rolling site with 600 feet of elevation change. The collection of par 4s might be the best in the state, climaxing at the 16th hole, which starts at an elevated tee and wraps around a virtual desert of bunkers.
The course tends to play long due to swirling winds, slightly uphill holes and during wet months when there's little roll.
Massive evergreens make Salish Cliffs a peaceful round in a pristine environment that has been deemed "Salmon Safe". It's not quite 'Chambers Bay' good, but it's still one of the premier playgrounds in the Pacific Northwest.

A beautiful place to play, if you can play ALL the hole's. Frost delay of 1.5 hour's, 9 hole's only! Beware & call before you set a T-time!...it is December.

It was very wet 'cause of a heavy rain or what.
we couldn't drive carts on the fairway meant a long way walk to the ball. They should have a heavy duty pull cart ready.
In the winter, it's not worth to pay so much money.
It needs a few years to be a good course.
The course lay out is pretty good. I might try again on one of the dry days. that will give me a better comment.

The course offers a real challenge for those that want to play from the tips, and also for the average golfer. Golf cart GPS (required) are top notch. Course was being aerated and sprayed on a few holes that was a little distracting, but the course is draining beautifully. Got a HOT DEAL from Golf Now @ $37. Definitely a great deal! Salish Cliffs is a must play for NW Golfers.

I have played Salish several times. In the summer it is in excellent condition, flawless. I've also played it in early spring and late fall, the course was being plugged, but still very playable. The clubhouse and restaurant staff is very friendly, and the food is very good. I would play Salish every chance I get!

wish to go play again because fun with the challenging course

This course should be very nice when they haven't sanded every fairway and green. Word to the wise, I should have asked but with my Golf now discount, we didn't feel too bad about the round. If I would have paid full price....not too sure about that feeling. Would rather play it during the summer but still look for the golf now discount.....a little pricey but nice.

I have been playing Fall golf in the Pacific Northwest for over 40 years and have never before played a course where the first seven fairways were covered with an inch thick layer of sand. After a perfectly placed tee shot in the middle of the fairway it was as if you were hitting your second shot from a fairway bunker. I understand that this was done to help the course maintain its condition over the Winter months, but I would not have chosen to drive 2 hours each way to play this course had I known this in advance. Thankfully we received a discounted rate from Golf Now and did not pay the full $90 regular price or I would have asked for my money back. I look forward to playing this course again under better conditions.

This course has it all! Beautiful layout, isolated (and immacculate) fairways, carries over water (over ravines, over wetlands), elevated tee boxes, long par 4's, narrow fairways in places (with blind drop zones), wide drop zones on others, doglegs (left and right), great risk/reward decisions. Just about anything you might like to find on a golf course can be found here. Some fun par 3's. A really nice practice facility. Can't say enough about the course. I played the day after a heavy rain and two weeks after the greens had been punched (and some of the fairways had recently been sanded too) - so it could have been better - but now I really want to go back in the peak of the season to see this course at its very best.

A comment about the value for price rating I made: Because it was fall maintenance time and because I got a hot deal off of the Golf Now site, I only paid $25 for my round - at that price this was an amazing deal even with all the maintenance that was in progress (good to know they're taking care of this course). At the regular price, which I believe is $89, I would rate as average value - I would definitely pay the regular rate to play this course in peak season/condition, but at close to a hundred bucks, it's difficult to call anything a "great" value (just worth the money you pay for it).

In summary, you gotta play this course - you won't be disappointed.

the course is very challanging, with a great layout. but, in the fall and winter when it is wet, this course gets very slippery. most of the terrain is clay. when it is wet, lookout.
