China Creek No.2
“When Mount Rainier’s out, it’ll take your breath away from the tee box..”
Coal Creek No.1
“The very first round of golf I ever played there was with Fred Couples, the course designer. I birdied the hole, and Fred parred it, so it’s been a favorite of mine ever since.”
Harbour Pointe No.11
“As you crest a ridge and drop down to the green below, you’re treated to a dramatic view of Puget Sound.”
Hawks Prairie, Woodlands Course No.13
“The water all along the right side of this par-5 makes it a terrific and challenging hole.”
Hawks Prairie, Links Course No.14
“Just a great par-4 nestled right up against Puget Sound, with terrific views of the water and mountains.”
Indian Summer, No.10/11
“Number 10 is a winding par-5; it’s not particularly long, but it’s tough to get on in two — your shot placement is critical. Number 11 is just a hard, hard par-3 — narrow, and long.”
Washington National No.17
“I love this par-5, with the stream that meanders across the hole and the water in front of the green. Just a gorgeous hole.”
Echo Falls No.18
“What a great finishing hole. Either you’re on the green, or you’re wet.”
Trophy Lake No.18
“Another great par-5. I was once playing in a foursome with Bill Gates, and ended up losing to Bill on this hole. I had to pay him $10 — a very painful $10.”
Plateau Club No.18
“I have a personal rule that if I ever shoot 100 or more in a round, I’ll give up the game forever. One time this hole saved me — I birdied it to finish at 99, and I’m still playing golf today.”
