You could easily take out 50% of the trees and still have a fun(ish) course. You could easily take out 80% of the vibe and still have a stuffy feeling, boring club experience. Was fun when we joined and the kids could use the pool… but that’s about it. Between an Oki Card and having friends all over, way better courses to get out and play regularly.
Just had another sign-up, a lurker, for the PNW RACDG Championship. There’s still time to sign-up! Come on out!
Whenever one of y’all yahoos gets a day off you need to come play a morning round with me out here at the classic.
Playing the Cascade course Friday at 1:10pm? Close enough? Ha.
But seriously, what mornings/time/etc. wouldn’t mind squeezing in a super early round
Normally I play Tuesday and Thursday mornings about 640ish. Some weeks though it’s Monday Wednesday. It just depends.
I’m a member. Hope you enjoyed your round
It was great. Hard, for sure. But great.
Aldarra got a big shout out from Joel Dahmen on the Get A Grip pod this week w/ Shane Bacon. His favorite course in all of PNW.
I was a member at overlake. Aldarra is less. It has no frills
There are a few tour members who are members, not uncommon to see them. Ranges balls there help
Seventeen is a superb short par 4. The green is exactly the right green to challenge a wedge. Might be my favorite hole.
Played my free Oki round on Friday at Newcastle. 100% still paying for the views. And yes, they are excellent. But god what I wouldn’t give to get rewarded just once with a flat lie after a good drive.
Got both kids in all-day camp next week, and my unemployment is poised to end soon (knock on wood, fingers crossed, etc) so the forecast is calling for a LOT of mid-week golf. Who wants to get out there??

Good vibes!! Was thinking about an afternoon round this week, would that work for you? Or are you thinking week day mornings?

I usually play in the morning so I can be home for dinner with the fam.

Makes sense, I might have to pass then, have fun out there
Excited to announce my return to Seattle next month from FL! Looking forward to connecting with the PNW crew and the possibility of needing pants on a golf course

I’m thinking a rain round might be in order today or tomorrow.
Took my wife to Nile the other night for her first golf outing in a few years. I know it’s not fancy. I know it’s not challenging, but for some reason I always enjoy a round there - except for the 3rd hole, which is ridiculous. What other courses in the area would you all suggest as good spots to get her out? She’s decent, but hasn’t played much. She drives the ball well (and annoyingly straight) for someone who plays once every two years.
