Suncadia Resort

We drove over to Suncadia from Seattle to find some sunny weather and a dry golf course. We played the Rope Rider course for the 1st time. I was impressed. The course was in excellent condition except for a couple sand traps that were hard packed and hadn't been raked recently. The greens rolled very nicely and true. I would have liked them a bit faster but they weren't slow. The course is a very fair track. The fairways are generous and there's lots of room for the tee shots, even if you stray a bit. The greens were accessible. They were firm but still held a good shot. We saw the marshal several times and that helped keep the pace moving. I'll be back again later this summer. It's well worth the drive over from the Seattle area.

Beautiful course with some of the worst pace of play consistently. Well known for the entitled vacation golfer who doesn't let anyone pass. 5h 20m round in the wind. Greens were very slow with random speeds based on heavy sanding. Lost all momentum waiting behind a 4-some starting on hole 3. Found out they were having a group outing playing stroke play, with 20+ handicappers. Stroke play!... no string, no best drive... Saw this hacker hit 6 balls in the water on 4 from the drop then proceeded to play the rest of the hole. The Marshal was on 4 watching this and was the last time we saw him. We came to 18 and the whole group of 30 in this tournament (Never mentioned to us by the starter/staff) decided to sit by the bunkers on 18 and drunkenly yell as we were finishing. No Marshal present. Just more of the same pace of play neglect I've experienced before. Don't put "under 4 hour round" and print us checkpoint times if you aren't going to enforce them. Also... Irons only range sign? Can't pay 10 bucks more a day to have the range picker grab the deep balls which have to be hit ~300+. Plan for 5+ hours a round. Play if you can hit some odd hours and especially not holiday weekends. Prospector is not a bucket list course with how they currently treat the player experience.

It was a great experience with several memorable holes except that for some reason the greens were sanded even though they are closing in 2 weeks. Didn't think it was right for them to charge the full rate with the greens in that condition.
Other than that it was a good round, challenging, good views and a bit of wildlife around and signs of even more animals if you know what I mean.

It was too wet and rainy to give a review. The greens held up well for the amount of moisture.

The Prospector Course at Suncadia is a very well designed Woodland course cut right out of the forest. Very mature tall trees line the fairways so you need to keep it in the groove! However even the tree lines are well maintained so if your ball does go astray a little you might be able to find it. Going to be better play in the summer months. Truly a first class experience even down to a Valet to clean your clubs for you at the end of your round. Very wonderful experience and well worth the full rate. Can't wait to experience the Roperider course.

Course condition was excellent. Very light play given the season. Pull out the driver & swing away, fairways are very forgiving.

Well conditioned resort course located in a mature ponderosa plane forest. By resort course I mean a course that is playable by all levels. The fairways are wide enough for all and the greens are bunkered to challenge the proficient.

This was the second time I've played there, Rope Rider is the best course in Washington I play often and all over, it is simply beautiful, well worth the trip.

fast play and course in great conition and great price on golfnow

Great location to stay and play. Great course condition. The short rough sets your ball up for a good whack and the fluffy bunkers almost throw the ball out to fast greens.

This couse is beautiful, well maintained and challenging without being over the top in difficulty. Some really fun holes, like the par-4 #10 with a tee box high above the fairway (and a distracting view from up there). Proshop staff was friendly and helpful. Really enjoyed my afternoon here and would definitely return.

Rope Rider is a beautiful course. Many holes can be challenging with the numerous, well placed bunkers. Green can be challenging.

Course was amazing!! Was in excellent condition very challenging..also had amazing views with great customer service..looking forward to my next visit

Enjoyed the day. We will be back. The greens were slower than expected. Winter and the deer must be hard on them.

I always enjoy playing this course. The course is excellent and the staff are friendly and inviting. Any chance I get I will play this course.

Rope rider is beautifully manicured and staff is friendliest...I like that Marshalls our out letting you know how groups in front are pacing. But golfnow is the best value. You shouldn't have spend over 100 for these suncadia courses. The hotel was pricey enough.

The course was in excellent condition. I was not. I will go back to see if it was me beating myself up or the course beating me up.

This is a very scenic mountain course. No. 10 has a great view and visually was my most challenging tee shot. The pace of play was a tad slow. I wish the driving range had better marked distances but I may have missed the sign. I really enjoyed the layout and you couldn't always just yank out the driver for all tee shots not par 3.

Glad we played, it was the hottest day of the year, so

Everything about Suncadia is first class.
One of my favorite courses it has everything and is well managed for play with a roving marshal to keep the pace. The scenery is spectacular and I often see deer and an occasional elk.
It's one of those courses you like to get there at least an hour if not more ahead of your tee time to have a coffee or something to eat before heading out to the driving range to warm up.
The chipping area next to the driving range is realistic to the course as well as the putting green
and are thoughtfully arranged to bring you to the first tee and your check in with the course director.
Number ten is the feature hole and if you can skim the tree's to the left side and carry the bunkers it's a very makable birdie hole with a breathtaking view. I have yet to stay at the hotel but have heard great reviews. some of the little things on the course lie no water in the ball cleaners or too few garbage cans are minor issues we've seen, but the overall condition of the course has been excellent in my visits spanning spring summer and fall.
This course can be very windy at times due to the proximity of the mountains but that also adds a certain challenge. If you don't like wind play the dog days of summer.
