Great time
The course was in great shape. The staff was helpful and kind. I found the pace of play to be a bit slow as my group of 3 waited on just about every tee box. Other than that it is a wonderful place to play.
Outstanding value!!
Super friendly staff and beautiful course! Would definitely recommend this course.
Great, fun, course
The course is beautiful, in perfect shape, and fun to play. My only complaint is that there is really no practice facility (there is one at a neighboring course, but you have to drive there after checking in, which means that most people have to get their clubs, put them back in the car, and drive to the range). There is a pitch and put layout next to the course, and one can warm up there a bit, but I missed having a range. I'd probably play Prospector next time, since it is just as nice and the range is right there.
Challenge good course
Challenge course. Fairway is in good condition. It will be benefit if shots can be made straight. Green is not quite good to putt and not easy for approaching shot to land. It may be frustrated for someone who has problem on uneven lies. I enjoy this course because I can make straight shot.
Great play
The fairways is wide, and greens are firm. Conditions of the course were very good. The price we paid from the Golfnow "hot deals" was 1/2 off or more than the other people playing that day.
The Rope Rider course at Sundcadia was a great course to play.
Watch out for the sand! Course management knowledge would definitely help at this course. It is well maintained, has a good weekday price, and despite the number of sandtraps that I encountered, was still enjoyable to play.
Great course for only three years old
This was a great course at Suncadia. Very picturesque and challenging for all levels of play. The only reason I have it 4 stars was because of the greens. Very inconsistent. Speed was different on almost every hole! Will definitely go back though!
Excellent experience from the clubhouse to the greens A+++
Although my game was a bit rusty my playing partner was on, I mean really on. After birdieing the final two holes on the front side he opened the back nine with two more. Can't remember the last time I saw "four in a row" It was fun just to watch. What an excellent golf Day!!!!
Fun even for an average player
It's hard and not very forgiving but offers a fun experience for even the average golfer. Lots of opportunities to try and be creative and hit hard shots. Not sure I would have wanted to pay full price, but a GoflNow deal makes this a must play if you are in Washington.
Incredible! A must play.
Awesome course! Despite the tough conditions (25+ mph winds), I really enjoyed this course. The fairways provided generous landing areas, but the greens were fairly fast and firm. The overall condition of the course was as good as I've seen anywhere. I have been fortunate enough to play many of the top rated courses in the state; including Chambers Bay, Wine Valley, Palouse Ridge, Salish Cliffs and Gold Mountain - Olympic. I would rather to play this course again before I play any of those others. I'm a huge fan. I'll definitely be back again many times!
2/3 of course was immaculate.
Played Suncadia Rope Rider on Sunday. Tee boxes and fairways were in great shape. Greens spotty at best and didn't roll out well. Clientele here seem to have issues with fixing their pitch marks from our 4-somes observation. It baffles me as to why this is such an issue. The front 1/3 of the 14th green in particular was one of the worst pitch marked greens I've ever seen. What a shame.
I would suggest putting a marshal out on the course to observe groups and whether or not they leave each green in the shape they found it.
This time of year especially the greens make or break the pleasure of any round whether on a muni or resort course.
This is a first class resort.
This place is awesome! Every time I head east over Snoqualmie pass I try and play either course at Suncadia. The courses are always in great shape. My son played it with me for his first time. He loved it. If you are ever in the area and have time it's a must.
Very friendly staff and course was in good condition. Greens a bit inconsistent but overall a very nice course
What can I say - I got a HOLE IN ONE on the Hole 3 of Prospector - first one!
I think for getting a hole in one though, Suncadia should've bought a drink or dinner or both!
Nice course for majority of players
great potenial with a little more care
staff was great course was in fair condition overall good experience
Challenging course in amazing condition.
Rope Rider golf course was fantastic. The fairways and greens were in excellent condition. The course was challenging yet fair with plush white sand bunkers and plenty of picturesque views. Suncadia delivers one of the best golf experiences in Washington state.
Everyone should play here.
Roperider at Suncadia is one of the best courses to play within two hours of Seattle. Its mountain resort golf at its finest. Just enough difficulty to challenge every golfer, but not too much that you don't enjoy your day. The ball sits up nice and high in the fairways, and the greens are always quick and pure. Combine that with the always friendly staff and you will keep coming back for more like I do.
We believe this is the best course in WA State!
Prospector golf course has been a destination course for us since it opened. Only an hour 1/2 drive from Seattle's bustle, we can be in pristine peace and quiet.
We love the high mountain surroundings, the sounds of elk calling in the distance and the well kept fairways and greens.
After a round, we can enjoy one of the best meals at the lodge or drive over to the winery for high class tastings and small bites.
All of our out of town company find it a unique treat to play at Suncadia and we will continue to enjoy this little slice of golf heaven as often as we can.
Thank you for a wonderful golf experience!
Challenging course. Well maintened. Fairways in great shape. Greens fast.
Altogether very nice golf facility. Golf course upper class. Designed with all level skills in mind. Planty of sand traps and water hazards to challenge even highest skilled players. Few things that need to be done to complete the picture. No ball washers on whole course!!! Holes are not marked. For those who like to walk it would be hard to do it but guess they knew it when they designed the course. Sure that I would like to play it again and would recommend it to everyone who likes to play golf.
