I would try to get at least 4 tee times. that would cover us for 16 people. we can always change it and add more if we need to. depending on their policy though sometimes over 4 times you have to do a contract on it. so we gotta see what they say.

Spent last summer vacation in Bend, played Pronghorn Nicklaus and Tetherow twice. My brother also played Pronghorn Fazio and Crosswater before I got into town.
Both Pronghorn courses are in mint shape and have wonderful views, and the staff was really nice. Nicklaus was fine, I may have been playing one tee too far back, or just had nothing with the driver that day, so it made for a bit of a long day, but the course is gorgeous if sort of a typical Nicklaus layout, heavily bunkered greens, etc.
Tetherow was a lot of fun, fast, firm, some crazy greens, split fairway sections, etc, but more punitive than some of DMKās other courses, much harder than Bandon Dunes for example off the tee as if you miss fairway youāre in scrub brush. Itās not very walkable in spots, some really long tee box connections, but the golf boards were fun. If you have any true beginners in your group, they have some mega forward junior tees in the middle of the fairway that can make the round fun for them (we did a scramble with our wives who are both just now learning and they had a lot of fun there). Cool practice area too with a two hole short course connected with a single fairway.
Crosswater is supposedly much less of the high desert vibe of Tetherow or Pronghorn and more of a treeād, typical PNW parkland style course, very well conditioned, but some blind and target shots into small and repelling greens that make it a tough play the first time around for non-members just visiting. I didnāt get out there to see it.
My personal rankings would be like @ApatheticStriker, though my brother might have preferred The Faz over Tetherow.

Badass. Great work!
Iāll plan to pull handiās from participants when we get closer and decide on format. Then I can make up some cards so its easy day of. Canāt wait.
Now the important discussion begins; what are we doing before and after??
Before, for me, is making sure I catch the 7:55 or 8:50 ferry!
Ferry times scheduled that morning as of right now:
- 6:10
- 7:10
- 7:55
- 8:50
- 9:35
Itās about a 30 minute ferry ride.
After? Iām all ears

Hey everyone - new to the area and have been looking around online for best deals to see the courses in Seattle. Iāve found the Oki Playerās Card. Is this the way to go?
Canāt wait to tee it up at Whitehorse next month!

Very cool, excited to see you out there! If you rock WhatsApp I can get you in on our local chat.
And I havenāt used the Oki card personally. For the money it seems like a pretty good deal and for the non privates the okiās are usually a cut above from the munis. I just live in Seattle so itās tough for me to get out to them all the time.

Has anyone done the around the sound pass before? It looks like an incredible deal and I have to imagine thereās a catch but I canāt figure out what it is.
