Little Creek Casino Resort

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.

This was really a beautiful course. The greens had been plugged and sanded about a week and a half ago but it really did not take away from the experience at all. I have played other courses when they were pretty new but Salish Cliffs is really an advanced 2 year old. I do not stray away from my home course much because of time and money but when I do I will definitely come back here.

Not sure it is worth the cost. We went there on Golfnow rewards or would have never paid their fees. The condition is wonderful, the weather was perfect when we were there but the pace was slow. The marshall at the beginning of the second 9 said it was the busiest day they had ever had...I believe it. We had to wait a long time at each hole. But the course itself is interesting, relatively difficult and long. I don't know if they allow walkers, but it would be a pretty difficult walk.

Carts had GPS which provided golfer with information for each hole and this was must helpful as this was my first at this golf course.

This golf course is great. Beautiful mountain views. Well maintained, friendly, well run golf course. We love playing there. Enjoyable at any level of play. The course has been just aerated and sanded and it still is enjoyable to play.
A must try on any golfers list!

Go and play the course, you won't regret it. Nice layout and interesting holes. I expect it's generally in great condition but it was raining pretty good off and on and golfers seemed to be seeking the cover of the cart rather than fixing divots and ball marks. The general course maintenance was great, my day was just colored by playing lousy in the rain. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Most of staff was cordial. It started raining and had hoped to get off earlier if it was quiet staff held us back until our tee time. Last time on the t sheet with openings ahead of us but they would not accommodate Otherwise very good experience..

Greens still need time to mature but overall a beautiful course in great condition.
